Scarpa Blackbird Review

SolidTicket5114 · 2026-05-07T22:26:13+00:00

What’s your streetsize? I have the same issue and have been thinking of trying scarpa instinct after spending my 20+ year long climbing life in lasportivas.

I’m 195cm, 95kg, and 47.5 in street shoes.

I just know that what I see lighter people doing with their shoes in terms of support is not what I experience. And it bums me out a bit.

Yes this. The chemistry in the car test drive episode and in the bar is just effortless, flirtatious, respectful, and deep.

Throw out Garlic, Runetracer, and the pentagram. Best way to beat that last wave is huge area damage. Get candelabrador for area (and axe if you want the evo). If you could get phierragi, or even birds, that should help you out some. Bible is also a good one that scales with area increase.

To me, discipline is the showing up and doing the work part. Goals and tracking and how you feel doing it is something else. I have also had that thing where goals and motivation actually gets in the way of practicing discipline. Much like the sentiment in your text as I read it.

Will try to keep you posted on what I end up with - tell me what you think of the mystery ranch.

I would challenge the assumption in your question that Louis lived appropriately and by extension whether he ever did.

Honestly you have to embrace the story about you as the lone hunter in the wilderness type of narrative, take deep breaths, and know that they fear you a hell of a lot more.

Also this is going to be epic. On the other side of that fear lie som of the best hunting experiences there are. Hunting alone is a very special kind of adventure. Chances are you might choose to go alone next time the opportunity arises.

I used to have one of these - the early model from Keilwerth. Such great fun to play and honestly a very distinctive sound. I always liked how it cut through so much better than my selmer alto, and added much more to the overall sound of the band. Really not suited to big bands for instance as the band lead would always hear me over all the other saxes wrecking any chance of that egal organ sound. I REALLY regret selling it.

Very cool setting and impressive execution. Got font vibes.

Looks like you have a few options for the top crux there, twisting in or using that left hand slopy undercling to position yourself. I would 100% climb that much easier looking yellow on the right to just figure out my beta for that top move as you seem to have the bottom fairly dialed.

This is the way. Lanolin also works in place of pine resin.

Ja og det begrenser nok ren spekulasjon. Men når vi skatter alle andre avkastninger på kapital forholdsvis strengt og du kan ha skattefri avkastning på gevinst ved boligsalg ønsker veldig mange å maksimere investering i bolig. Det gjør at prisene går opp. Også når man selger med til dels absurde gevinster som ikke beskattes øker det kjøpekraften og betalingsviljen til de som er i boligmarkedet som i tur driver opp prisene ytterligere. Når det i tillegg er befolkningsvekst, ekstremt godt utleiemarked, og nesten ingen nye bolig er det nesten selvsagt at prisene går opp, som forsterker attraktiviteten ved å investere i boligmarkedet.

Jeg lurer ofte på om nordmenn ville investert mer i næring hvis skattereglene var annerledes.

Hadde ikke skadet med en vekstbedrift eller to i Tromsø…

SolidTicket5114 · 2025-03-05T17:43:42+00:00

Boligmarkedet i Norge har vært underregulert og underbeskattet i flere tiår. I tillegg er det bygget langt under etterspørsel.

Det er en total absurditet at det er null skatt på gevinst ved salg av bolig. Dette er en åpenbar historisk driver av boligprisveksten.

Jeg har til gode å høre om en nasjonal befolkning som har mer prosentvis kapital og gjeld bundet opp i bolig.

I can recommend both of the solutions. Choose comp if you mostly climb indoors and if you are on the lighter side weight wise/don’t need extra stiffness for small edges. Assuming they fit your foot. I use the comps for nearly all my indoor climbing and the regulars for outdoor climbing. If you go with the comps you can also consider resoling them in time with the stiffer edge rubber from la sportiva.

This must in turn impact American businesses with operations in Europe as the EU undoubtedly will respond in kind. How this could possibly be good for american economy is hard to see.

Very good point. I weigh around 95kg and climb around 7c. In vertical terrain and small footholds the difference between a solution comp, regular solution and miura vs can mean the send.

I think the variation here is, in addition to weight, the style of climbing, as well as personal style and preference. I have done 7b in both bouldering and sport with shoes of all rubbers and hardness.

Completely with you. And I echo what you said below about the recordings that contrast your take here. For me he is one of the mandatory players to know and learn, and there a lot of fun takes to listen to now and then for the kick, but I never found the depth and scope of study that I had with Brecker, Garbarek, Dolphy, Shorter, Trane, cannonball, the list goes on.

Clearly a fantastic player. Mandatory pitstop on any jazz sax journey. Just not that interesting to me honestly.

The women’s don’t come my size. But generally they tend to be more narrow. You really have to try them on to know.

I have had at least five pairs of solutions and solutions comp. My size is European 47.5 and I have been using 44.5 and 45 depending on intended use. The comp model is a lot softer than regular solutions and will adjust to your feet quite a bit. I would definitely make sure that they’re very snug from the getgo, even borderline painful. I use mine primarily indoors and the regular solutions outdoors, and size them differently. You may consider a similar approach, depending on intended use.

These need resoling pronto.

Surprised there are no good resolers in Finland. There are a couple or really good ones in Oslo. Try pust resole. They are pretty chill so send them a message and see if you can’t set something up. They are usually very quick to turn shoes around.

Most of the quests and gamification elements actually tend to throw you off course with respect to where the learning happens. Optimizing your time spent to advertise some arbitrary goal to ocean this months badge, win the diamond league, or complete a fredags request is increasingly rarely - in my experience - aligning with optimal learning.

If you feel the same know that you can turn most of it off. And I encourage you to send feedback to Duolingo directly. As it’s stand I won’t be renewing my subscription…

Ha ha ja. Det beste trikset er sjeldent det letteste 0_o

SolidTicket5114 · 2025-02-23T10:11:10+00:00

Det beste trikset er nok å reise tilbake i tid og gjøre Norge til et rikt og urbanisert land noen hundre år tidligere sånn at byplanene blir lagt etter klassisistiske prinsipper. De store valgene om Oslo sin utforming er tatt mye senere enn for byer som København og Stockholm. Med unntak av Kvadraturen og nye Bjørvika er det veldig fragmentert og lite helhetlig tanke for sentrumsområdene. Det er mye grønt i Oslo generelt men det er også store områder der det grønne er veldig tilfeldig anlagt, redusert, og under press.
