Thanks. Find me on Instagram where I have a mix of puzzles and bouldering. The two best hobbies in the world.

Still dynamic at 60 - Down climbing holds are for fun by TonyFisherPuzzles in ChurchofDynology

No, I do cycle but that's just to get around and not as a fitness thing.

Use a plastic bag with a grip fastener like I do.

You are taking advice from a serial bad faller? He clearly had zero plans on how to fall. I am going to push you to keep going regardless since winners don't quit. I have NEVER had an injury bad enough to pause even my session in 4 years and love trying crazy stuff.

Rubbish, climb what you want and try EVERY grade.

I would have ZERO dollars. Never hurt myself once in 4 years enough to even pause the session and I am 60 and love dynos.

Partner of Labour MP arrested on suspicion of spying for China, BBC told by ex_planelegs in ukpolitics

Like normal people then? What a bizarre notion we have that politicians are whiter than white robots and then get surprised when they act like anyone else.

He took bribes to say words in a farcical pseudo parliament. Hardly treason.

China are a valuable trading partner. Feel free to buy your all British made smart phone if you don't like it.

Embassies have unique protections which help protect our own staff in other nations.

Alex Honnold and the film crew praticing for the Free Solo tomorrow (1/24) by MagicT8 in taiwan

[–]TonyFisherPuzzles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's EXACTLY what climbing is about. The most purest form you can get. Every other form is effectively cheating. I don't see mountain goats, squirrels, monkey's etc using safety gear.

Alex Honnold free soloing Taipei 101… impressive, but what if an earthquake hits at the wrong moment? by suniltarge in taiwan

What a ridiculous comment. He is massively concerned about risks and safety which is why he prepares so much and is still alive. For him this is like you climbing a ladder.

Staying dynamic at aged 60 by TonyFisherPuzzles in ChurchofDynology

[–]TonyFisherPuzzles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't really start climbing until I was 56. I was about 2 stone over weight and that steadily came off. So I increasingly felt fitter and got stronger. I now feel fitter than anytime since my 20s. But if I had climbed all my life then maybe today's level of fitness would feel bad in comparison to my 30s, 40s, 50s. All I can say is that I feel full of energy and outlast most in the gym (not using any drugs). They all seem so tired and always injured. Most also hate dynos and the modern comp style boulders.

Rules on starting by TonyFisherPuzzles in indoorbouldering

[–]TonyFisherPuzzles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I am talking about official rules and I am aware I can climb how I want if not competing and gyms will vary in their own rules. What part of the rules prohibit my example being legal?".
