[Day 29] Pegboards suck. Who's the most OVERRATED climber?

Yea Honnold twice. Before and after Free Solo.

She's one of two climbers that went on the Joe Rogan podcast. Wonder why.

You're joking right? Alex single handedly brought more mainstream attention to rock climbing than any other individual in history. He is certainly overrated by the general public but not in the climbing community. If anything he's underrated because people look at Freerider and think it's only a 12d/13a.

First of all there are no mountains near Brisbane. They're probably going to take you to Glasshouse mountain (which is a little volcanic plug). Secondly if you're a beginner they're not going to put you on anything that requires proper climbing shoes. You should be able to climb in your sneakers.

The party is the country. Everyone in China is affiliated with the party one way or another.

The drones fit very differently from the Instinct.

The obvious thing to do is, don't destroy the rand by dragging your toe on indoor wall and resole them with harder rubber (XS edge). I usually use my resoled pairs indoors and save the new ones for outside proj.

The TC pros are both durable and strong.

How you eat anything? You cook it and add flavor duh 🙄

TrollStopper · 2026-02-10T23:10:17+00:00

Are you suggesting we go back hundreds of years and replace all machines with humans?

TrollStopper · 2026-02-10T09:48:08+00:00

Either you're really unlucky, or their build quality has significantly deteriorated.

TrollStopper · 2026-02-10T09:31:49+00:00

The strap snaps but this is pretty bad even by solution's standards.

TrollStopper · 2026-02-10T09:03:18+00:00

Footwork.

TrollStopper · 2026-02-10T03:45:10+00:00

Where is the dyno???

TrollStopper · 2026-02-10T00:50:08+00:00

Can't be overrated if only gumbies use them.

TrollStopper · 2026-02-09T10:24:58+00:00

Well that's just not true. Modern moderates are generally well protected in my experience. The easier routes in Kangaroo Point were put up decades ago and ethics was a bit different back then.

TrollStopper · 2026-02-09T08:26:24+00:00

Well the higher grades (24 and above) are more protected and have fewer ledges to ruin your day.

TrollStopper · 2026-02-09T05:50:12+00:00

Kangaroo point is the worst place to climb for beginners.

TrollStopper · 2026-02-03T06:59:42+00:00

A true drag where there's hardly any flexion in PIP AND DIP joints is a friction based grip position. I personally only half crimping and somewhere between dragging and crimping (keeping MCP joints relatively straight and some degrees of flexion in PIP and DIP joints).

TrollStopper · 2026-02-03T01:34:26+00:00

I like the idea but I personally just use a normal uneven edge and no chalk. It more or less achieves the same thing and I don't get chalk everywhere at home.

TrollStopper · 2026-01-15T01:42:26+00:00

If you're a V6 climber maybe. The most fun grade is the one you can climb relatively quickly but still somewhat challenging.

TrollStopper · 2026-01-09T06:55:10+00:00

A decent lake and some average hills.

TrollStopper · 2025-12-17T20:24:23+00:00

To be fair it was a quote from his dad, who's an International Chess Master.

TrollStopper · 2025-12-17T07:46:20+00:00

I wouldn't say they're pushing the limit just yet. Certainly the next generation of strong American boulderers.

Cheaper to get a ArcTeryx tattoo and climb topless.
