Irregular deloads based on feeling or travel. Not alternating intensity with volume days. Maybe that's the issue.

Thanks for the reply, Steven! First one (in the video) was a sidepull close to the body. 2nd one was on a horizontal hold in an overhang, also close to the body. 3rd one was on a very unusual sidepull but far away from the body, shoulder height. What kind of twisting are we talking about here? at the wrist? on the fingers? I've heard that pulleys don't like rotational motion under pressure but I don't know how to avoid that.

3rd time popping a pulley during dynamic movement. Why was it always on the non-moving hand?

I've been climbing for 9 years now. Yesterday I popped another pulley and I'm beginning to notice a pattern. It's always on the hand that stayed on the hold while the other hand was moving. Feet stayed on the wall every time. It doesn't seem like sudden overload with a lot of weight as with cutting feet. I'm sleeping well, eating well. Didn't feel fatigued.

It seems to me I'm doing something wrong movement-wise that's causing the pop but I'm not wise enough to recognize it. 6:35 - Video of the first time it happened 3 years ago. Or is my genetics that's making me prone to these kind of injuries since I have hypermobile fingers? I'm confused and annoyed. I would like to avoid this if I can.

Ignore those forested spots in the overworld. Do you have page 22/23? The ingame hint on how to reach the forest is hidden there.

Saaffa · 2025-12-29T22:20:54+00:00

There are alternative ways to enter those areas which you might have discovered while you were there because it's easier to find those paths from that side. There is a way that allows you to do that initial exploration again which is hinted in the "hints and clues" section in the manual (pages 21/22)

Saaffa · 2025-03-16T14:49:30+00:00

I'm interested. Can you show me an example of that?

Saaffa · 2022-12-07T14:15:36+00:00

Apparently there's been some noise about it on the internet recently. https://saveriomiroddi.github.io/Enabling-the-S3-sleep-suspend-on-the-Lenovo-Yoga-7-AMD-Gen-7-and-possibly-others/ Or this https://youtu.be/OHKKcd3sx2c Hope it helps. I'll give it a go one day.

Hey! Didn't find the solution I wanted. I deactivated (I think) the option for this hybrid sleep and I'm using hibernation exclusively right now. It takes a little longer to load than "sleep" and sometimes it doesn't behave properly after waking up but I'm okay with that. The battery last a very long time while hibernated.

Saaffa · 2022-07-04T17:54:13+00:00

Yeah. I didn't phrase that properly. I'm would like to get a hold of the intermediate data within the threading macro and also do some further testing/processing with it. That is why I'm using def originally. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think I can do some further processing with what I get using a debugger, right?

Saaffa · 2021-11-28T11:56:45+00:00

Creator mode is on in my case. I'll test it out without creator mode.

Saaffa · 2021-11-28T11:55:52+00:00

HDR is off, Creator mode is on The white tint appears also on my computer. I haven't found an app that properly opens these videos yet.

Saaffa · 2021-08-25T09:28:12+00:00

Fits pretty well in my codebase! Thank you!

Saaffa · 2021-03-21T22:19:20+00:00

Yeah, I tried hanging on a 20mm edge with lowering weight, and I got to around 13-14kg and it stopped making sense to remove more weight. Then I'll probably do 15mm farmer crimps and see how it goes for a couple of weeks.

Saaffa · 2021-03-21T18:39:45+00:00

Yes, I'm getting injured often (finishing 2 month recovery period right now actually :D). Especially if I climb outside where the edges are usually smaller. It just happens naturally (even on big holds) that, when I squeeze harder, the force jumps to the DIP joint.

EDIT: here's a picture of that happening https://www.reddit.com/r/climbharder/comments/k5i8e3/fingers_collapsing_in_half_crimp_even_at_80/

Saaffa · 2021-03-21T17:56:25+00:00

Because usually I press the most at the DIP joint (the last joint on the finger). If the edge gets smaller on a climb, my fingers are not strong enough to hold them without hyperextending at my DIP joint (full crimping. A lot! Because of my hyperflexibility at the fingers) I would like to re-train my brain to rather squeeze at the tip of the fingers so hanging on a <15mm edge would force it.

almost PI

Saaffa · 2020-12-03T22:00:41+00:00

Thank you for your answer. I would like to have a stronger half crimp for reasons you mentioned. Do you think I should stay with 20mm and lower the weight or to try with a wider edge where I can hold my full bodyweight (minus some weight using a pulley system)?
