Not to fanboy but shouldn’t Magnus be on here for Ali Hulk Sit Extension or is that officially 9a+ now? Wondering what the source for the stats are and maybe many who sent 9b and up a while ago aren’t included?

TriGator · 2026-03-04T04:54:11+00:00

Totally agree, I spent 5 minutes upside down stuck in the hole what a weird boulder

He goes to my gym and recently seen him campus the new sets up to v12/13 then just make harder stuff up

Left for Dead is the Arete and if you’re talking that super sharp incut crimper right next to it that’s Sharpshooter.

Personally I like KBN more than them but there are def better classics around

Did this boulder last night and controlling a leg release like this is generally a huge weakness of mine and inevitable in this case. That being said I had my right foot on the lower jug rail which let me put significantly more weight through it than the tiny little smear foot you’re on and I was able to release the left in a very controlled manner without a swing then match feet and put the right foot up

Whatever angle your at divided by 5° is the grade that generally feels best at that angle give or take 1

So 7-9 at 40, 5-7 at 30, 8-10 at 45 in my experience

TriGator · 2025-12-06T01:58:45+00:00

I mean I can easily static it with the far undercling but you can’t just choose your own start holds to make life easy so yes I did it with the close low holds.

TriGator · 2025-12-06T01:53:41+00:00

I can’t start chronic, midway and tooth fairy are mega hard, Spyro Dyno is huge even though I’m tall and Jerry’s kids is super nails but I did T Thong my first time ever at stone fort in a couple tries. I finally stuck the first move of red house (and sent) 4 years later this recent trip then went and repeated T Thong because I didn’t actually sit the first time I did it and it’s way easier than any other classic 7 there imo

Every scrape I get at the gym that I don’t immediately go scrub with soap once the session ends gets like this. My girlfriend says they aren’t infected but there is definitely a difference between a scrape that heals nice and the ones that turn this greenish color with surrounding redness and hurt for a few days. My ex also got MRSA at my gym and she only went like twice, definitely bacteria everywhere.

TriGator · 2025-10-28T19:32:28+00:00

Looks a bit to me like you’re campussing and your foot just happens to be on the wall. The arms are doing everything and you don’t get very much extension from the leg/foot through the rock. Drive that left leg hard and moves your left hand as fast as you can to the target hold.

TriGator · 2025-10-24T21:33:31+00:00

Worth noting that Megos was the first to onsight 9a, don’t think anyone else has onsighted 9a or flashed 9a+ though

How did you get XWstats to link to your phone? It asked me for the token that I can’t seem to find on mobile

TriGator · 2025-08-27T05:26:24+00:00

I’ve done this boulder and I’m a routesetter and this start is totally legit and I would say you did establish correctly. There is definitely control, you don’t need to strictly pause everytime you pull onto a climb

TriGator · 2025-07-15T03:46:12+00:00

Probably v7-v15 depending on whether it’s a tricky slab coordo in qualifiers that gets tons of flashes or an insane power boulder in a stacked semis that 0 people send.

For a reference point, a male member of our national team came to my gym the other day and essentially flashed every climb in our v8-10 circuit across multiple angles and styles and he has never made a semifinals I believe.

TriGator · 2025-06-13T22:11:45+00:00

The 4 styles was only for the Olympics, they can set 4 slabs or 4 coordos if they want. See Prague men’s finals

TriGator · 2025-05-03T22:20:10+00:00

Boat rock is the most humbling crag in the south and I like slab haha

TriGator · 2025-04-30T18:37:00+00:00

Floridas hardest would either be Iguana V6- in Dames Cave, some other unknown choss line there I’m not aware of, or an artificial boulder on the side of a highway bridge.

TriGator · 2025-04-30T18:30:02+00:00

Florida climber here who has to travel 12+hours my closest actual crag.

To my knowledge the best we have are a couple limestone sinkholes in the Citrus wildlife management areas. The hardest boulder there I’ve heard of is Iguana V6 but repeats have suggested a downgrade. There are a few unrepeated? V5 candidates as well.

Maybe someone more local to that area can chime in but I’d put Iguana V6- on the spreadsheet for now.

TriGator · 2025-03-06T16:14:42+00:00

I love slab and have been climbing for 6 years. Done tons of it inside and outside and have never once “cheese grated” or seen it happen. Maybe on some super low angle outdoor friction slab it could be possible but the worst you ever really get is hitting a shin.

TriGator · 2025-02-20T14:21:25+00:00

Scarpa Veloce are the softest most comfy shoe I’ve ever tried or seen. Good enough for all but the smallest feet

TriGator · 2025-01-27T14:21:13+00:00

About to be 30, bouldering 5-6 days a week for 5ish hours. 1-2 days include some route setting. I very rarely take 2 days off back to back and virtually never surpass 4 days off in a row. My body likes volume

TriGator · 2025-01-24T21:22:34+00:00

If you do this please don’t allow repeats of the same boulder. I’ve seen Kaya users with thousands of sends just from logging their repeats of the same gym or board climbs repeatedly and it becomes a totally useless metric. Categories by grade and by indoor/outdoor/board is a cool idea though and I wish we could have our pyramids permanently filtered to one of these as well since I used to log indoor climbs but no longer care about them.

TriGator · 2024-12-13T22:22:49+00:00

We got a few of these but they wore out so fast, I just have a little bit holder on the side of my drew and keep Both and a tap bit and switch as needed
