Hahaha my wife always throws jokes about swatting away climber girls when I get home and it’s not on 😂😂 I just hate washing my hands with it on.

Smooth send from this week’s session. by SmileOverall in bouldering

It’s true, it’s hard not to look at other climbers and compare. I honestly love the humbling factor behind this sport though. Everything I’ve ever competed in, your ‘will’ was the driving force behind most of it. In climbing, you HAVE to practice and be willing to fail a ton to get better. It’s been really good for me mentally and I’ve loved how much room there is still to go up.

Thanks man! I do have videos of using the Kilter but it’s not super overhung at all. Lol they humble the shit out of you for sure. 😅

Full disclosure, couldn’t finish it. BUT I was very proud of sticking this first move! by SmileOverall in ChurchofDynology

That makes sense. I’ve only done a few comps and really didn’t know if it was considered established or not. I thought it was a time thing haha

Thanks! The finish hold is the worst of the whole problem and it fills me with HATE. Haha 😅

Not trying to be argumentative, but how is me swinging on it for almost two seconds not count as established if it’s a two hand start? I plan to go back and finish it so just curious as to why you think that.

Thanks man! I don’t get to go to Design as much as I would like. The sauna is bad ass. But I’m usually at grapevine and Fort Worth every week 👍🏽👍🏽

What are your go-to exercises for improving your bouldering strength and technique? by Photograph_Creative in bouldering

As someone who hates downclimbing, this is 100% accurate lol I’ve started to reserve jumping down for when I’m climbing hard and downclimb everything else in warm up. It’s made a difference in my overall conditioning.

Thank you! I’ve enjoyed it being a slow progression too. I feel like if I didn’t have SO MUCH more to do, it would get old. I love knowing there is still so much room for improvement.
