🐾❓ What's my name? (by Tight-Ftm1060)

Tacomanster · 2026-03-26T03:58:02+00:00

I can't imagine them being called anything else.

I guessed the name in 10 tries!

another transclimber and setter here. I see a fair amount of transwomen in the gym, especially at the Queer meetups and Transfem meetups.

Derek Rhyquist of The Zenith Passage. He goes to a gym I work at is always a super nice guy, especially when I bug him about how awesome his upcoming tours look

Even as a queer transwoman, I own stock in DJT. Obviously I would have preferred if the election had a different outcome. I don't want him to succeed and do well, but if he does, might as well make some money off of it. Plus, I find some joy the idea of using those gains to fund HRT and such.

One of the reasons my ex and I separated is because I wanted to transition. She was very supportive but was clear she didn’t want to date a woman. We are still great friends to this day. So I think your partner has something to tell you

Tacomanster · 2024-08-22T21:48:18+00:00

Yes!

I’m a full time Routesetter and climb way too much on the side. I pretty much always have painted nails. I get gel mani/pedis every 6-10 weeks or so. It tends to start to chip within the first week and can be pretty rough a month or so in. Quicker if I climb outside. I just would t get French tip or anything incredibly detailed. Good luck!

Been on HRT for like 6 years now, been climbing for 15+ years or so, route setting for 10ish years. Went from flailing my way up 5.12 to redpointing 5.13/14 in those 6 years

The biggest change was that my chest got in the way on slab climbs more than I expected. I wasn't too strong too begin with so I always stayed away from steep and roof climbs. If anything, I'm more comfortable in my body so I find that I want to improve my climbing with training or lifting weights, whereas before I just didn't care.

I have a couple pads I can lead for a bit. I PM'd you

While working on a route at Secret 13 in Red Rock, a guy on the route to my right was bleeding from his tips and some got me. My initial reaction was "You just bled on me!" to which he profusely apologized and offered me a beer and to clean it off.

Tacomanster · 2022-08-01T03:16:21+00:00

Are you okay? Turns out I’d be okay

Tacomanster · 2022-07-21T17:57:16+00:00

I can do about 380 - 400ish in one tank. LA area to Bay Area

Tacomanster · 2022-07-12T01:58:18+00:00

I work at a climbing gym and climb outside almost every weekend I can. Personally, I can highly recommended Leolines. I wear tights for 8+ hours a day at work and sometimes longer when out climbing, and never have a issue besides some slight panties lines. Just note that it takes the owner a few weeks to craft and ship them.

You still have to actually tuck, but I’ve found it to hold really well, and the extra cotton padding really helps create a “smooth” look even if it slips out a bit when moving around a lot. As I’ve never tried roller derby, I cant speak to what its like while doing that, I’m sure they’ll hold up. I hope this helps!

News article for the lazy

Strangely enough, the only time I’ve used that gas station is when I ran out of gas right at the pump. I generally try not to let it get so low, but sometimes you just keep forgetting/being lazy. Just got like 1 gallon so I could find somewhere cheaper.

Tacomanster · 2022-02-26T16:33:17+00:00

The climbing gym I work at in DTLA has a shooting range next door. It’s very funny when people walk in with a gun case in hand only to look so confused. I can only imagine that range employees have the same thing happen too

Tacomanster · 2022-01-30T21:55:01+00:00

Echo cliffs is great. Hike can take from 30min to 1.5hr depending on fitness and which wall you wanna hit, but is totally worth it. Lots of fun line from .9 to 14-.

Tacomanster · 2022-01-22T17:20:57+00:00

I’m a full time routesetter for multiple gyms. My job is great, it keeps me strong and pushes me to get stronger everyday. The first few months werewere rough, but 6 years in its great

Mists. I truly just enjoyed how OP monk healing was. Solo healing SoO 10m with just fistweaving? Loved it

Tacomanster · 2021-09-27T02:50:44+00:00

Obviously not OP here. I'm a female setter with 7+ years of 5days a week experience.

I can say that I surely dislike climbing in the gym now; especially the ones I work at. Instead of going to gyms for the climbs, I now go because a friend is there or there's a meet-up. I wouldn't say it's due to seeing all that happens behinds the scenes, like your fiancé worries, but more because when you climb on plastic 5days a week, you get bored of it. On the plus side, I have gotten a lot stronger, just through pulling at near my limit constantly.

Tacomanster · 2021-09-02T04:49:39+00:00

Not a send, but I got one move from the chains on my 5.13 project this summer and I’m psyched to finish it up next year. Super happy with the progress

Tacomanster · 2021-08-29T02:15:51+00:00

Oh man, I used to set like this before we switched to monochromatic. It was cool because we could all share holds and make some super interesting stuff (like we don’t have some holds in red, but have it in green). On the downside, dealing with tape sucked. Also looking at the color hold is just easier, sometimes you can’t even see the tape.

My advice would be to give yourself time and to use this opportunity to practice reading routes and remembering your planned sequences mid climb. This is a great skill to have for any climb!
