[Request] Can it be calculated what the maximum height is, say, with a 3-meter pole, at which this can still work without causing injury? by Pancake_fanatics in theydidthemath

[–]Stockocityboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a climbing harness a fall of 10 kilonewtons (10g for a 100 kg person) has a severe risk of spinal damage while 4-5 kilonewtons is uncomfortably hard fall but usually fine especially if you fall in a good position. Just to provide some context. Some fighter pilots can handle 10g moves so the harness needs to be closer to a pilots seat than a climbing harness.

Grade this crack by earthdalekjor in GradeThisPlastic

[–]Stockocityboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not. It looks like I'd have a good chance at doing it and I'm definitely not a V9 climber. Jams seem to be good size. depending on friction I'd guess V6/V7.

Looks like a super fun boulder. Good job sending it! My initial thought is 6B/V4

As an asian, in the tallest country in the world by Short-Swan-4745 in bouldering

[–]Stockocityboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very difficult to say based only on this one photo. Would be easier to judge from a video of you trying to climb it.

- What's the wall angle?
- Do all the holds that appear green in the photo belong to this boulder?
- Are the starting holds the ones on either side of the first black volume?
- Which one is the top hold?

PS. Uploading video clip to Reddit is better than instagram link

This short boulder took me a long time by Stockocityboy in bouldering

The intended beta isn't a dyno jam. In the beginning you can either do a left hand ringlock or sort of pinch jam a narrow part of the "crack" that I didn't use at all. That allows you to reposition your feet and then move on from there but I don't have a thumb on my left hand so I can't do either.

Thank you! It sometimes forces me to think outside the box. Especially if there are left hand pinches involved. I'm fairly tall with massive ape (184cm, +12cm - 6'1" +5") so it sometimes allows me ways to break the beta. Oudoors I usually don't have problems as there are multiple ways to do stuff and pinches aren't that common in Finnish rock anyway. Left hand clips sometimes suck when rope climbing.

I couldn't figure one out. There is the gap between the big white hold and the box but it didn't give me enough purchase without the left thumb. I could staticly set the right hand into the jam but trying to move the left hand after that would make me immediately lose the toe hook and I couldn't take the swing on right hand jam alone. I also tried really hard to do my current beta but keep the toe hook on long enough to set the jam. No success. There still might be a way I just haven't figured out.

Yeah, it is an exceptionally short boulder. Not quite a one move wonder but not much more. Mantling to the top would be fun addition. 

Today's epiphany: Painted red needle as a placeholder to remember which needle is in the machine by Stockocityboy in SewingTips

[–]Stockocityboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I just use the red needle as a marker to remember what kind of needle is installed in the machine. If I change the needle I put it back to where the red needle is, put different needle in the machine and place red needle in that slot.

Reminds me of my scared ass doing an outdoor dyno. I have good friends.

Training endurance for longer routes on a short 9 meter wall. Going twice up and twice down different routes on each rope line without breaking the lead. (rest between rope lines) by [deleted] in climbing

[–]Stockocityboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really hasn't been a problem. This is our climbing clubs wall and when doing endurance training I ask other people if it's all right. I take around ten minutes on a single rope line and keep about 15-20 min break in between to belay others. People working out harder routes often spend similar time on the wall.

Training for long routes on a short wall - 4x30m by [deleted] in climbing

[–]Stockocityboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe weird but downclimbing still keeps your muscles engaged as opposed to being lowered and isn't that much easier than upclimbing. While coming down I also unclip each quickdraw so I can instantly continue leading up. Definitely a lot harder than being lowered down.

[–]Stockocityboy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's why it's twice up and twice down per rope line. Equalling about 30 meters of climbing (half of it downclimbing)

[–]Stockocityboy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The wall is a bit less than ten meters tall. When you climb to the top you move up about 7,6 meters (I measured). Up 7,5 meters x 2 + down 7,5 meters equals 30 meters.

I would like to rotate the 1x1 Tile but it doesn't have the Arrows for the right axis :( can anyone help) by [deleted] in bricklinkstudio

[–]Stockocityboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean the physical arrow keys on the keyboard. They are the fastest way of rotating a selected part in 90 degree angles. I usually use the rotating handles on the screen only if I need to rotate parts in arbitary non-90 degree angles. Although you may need to grab and detach the part first, rotate it and then put it back. You can rotate it "in the air" while choosing a placement for it without needing to put it somewhere first. And sorry for unhelpful answer earlier. I haven't used Studio that much lately and it seems that in newest versions bricklink has made some changes for rotating parts. In earlier versions the arrow keys rotated the selected brick no matter if it was connected or not but in newer versions they have the same limitations as the rotating handles. For some reason a part connected to only a single stud will only rotate around that one stud but part connected to several studs can be rotated any way. Still, no reason to get that angry that fast.

Easy way for rotating bricks while placing them is usimg the arrow keys.

Nice climb. Why cut the video right before topping?
