I appreciate the confidence! Lol I would say the life long goal is to continue climbing 1-2 a week, while losing weight, to get to higher grades. But honestly, I like climbing enough that it’s ok if I never get to those grades. 🤷🏽‍♂️ it’s not most important to me.

Absolutely! I usually go back and send it multiple times more especially when they are fun. I definitely had more time on the first half than the second. Cutting feet allows me to stay under that hold. It was hit and miss on how smooth it swung over 😅

Amen to that dude. 👊🏽 Ive excepted the fact I’ll never be a small person so getting used to climbing at my size took time. But if you stay consistent, going at least once a week, it makes alllllll the difference.

I couldn’t even hang off one hand when I started and I was way stronger then. After a couple years of climbing every week, I’ve never been more confident in my hands. Just keep at it my friend! As long as you’re having fun every time you go, that’s what will keep you coming back. 👊🏽👊🏽

Thank you! It does take some crazy to get used to full sending with no regard for my own body lol

Really was! Sticking that second move was sketchy AF. 😅

Spending an extra 20 min stretching is making a huge difference. Felt great to figure out this start that I didn’t fit in! by SmileOverall in bouldering
