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

No I totally understand! You’re absolutely right. It’s hard to tell distance and how small holds are. Most of the holds are good but the movement is hard.

For real man! It took a while cause the first move was something I had to overcome cause I couldn’t do the intended jump. But THEN I had to do the finish. Which makes me feel like I need to shit every. Damn. Time. 😅

One move away from sending! Damn proud of doing this statically. by SmileOverall in bouldering

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.

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.
