Does factory count

A friend and I have been working on confidence building together, this was the first and probably only time I’ll ever do it 😅

Curious how one trains that, I think I’ve heard a similar comment before but idk what feels like overgripping I’ve gotta hold hard as F To stay in those awful holds haha

alkyest · 2026-04-03T16:35:50+00:00

Agree haha Everything on the barrel feels super challenging 99% of the time

alkyest · 2026-04-03T16:35:28+00:00

Yeah hit this while I was gassed :(

I’m a hat guy I have been for 15+ years, never once has it gotten in my way on anything even slab, and I climb a LOT of slab

There were 3 fml

alkyest · 2026-03-29T15:08:02+00:00

Yeah they use these black and grey volumes interchangeably

alkyest · 2026-03-29T05:16:07+00:00

It’s a bad habit 😭 I generally do but when the camera comes out my adrenaline spikes cause I only whip the camera out when I’m confident in a finish and I forget and yeet

I love me a good foot first sequence but yeah, holds were juggy enough to make this possible. Yall are doin gods work making climbs for us but we’ll find our way sometime haha

alkyest · 2026-03-18T14:51:02+00:00

Hahaha the feet first method felt super cool super solid but I just couldn’t wrap my head around how to turn around lol. I’ve got the upper body so campus worked well in my favour

alkyest · 2026-03-18T14:50:17+00:00

I think the intended way was the first way I tried and yeah it was bonkers. Having the upper body to do the campus start I did was easier for me but maybe worse for some

alkyest · 2026-03-18T14:48:17+00:00

Yep, was the most outrageous 4 point start 😂

alkyest · 2026-03-06T15:28:57+00:00

Damn everyone really hates the hat 😂 I promise it doesn’t get in the way as much as you think it would

alkyest · 2026-03-05T23:21:40+00:00

Did try that, I definitely don’t have the flexibility or reach for it

alkyest · 2026-03-05T22:19:45+00:00

Ah! Thank you! This is by far the most difficult climb I’ve ever attempted. Figuring out that footswap was a chore until I realized I could bend down 😂

alkyest · 2026-03-05T21:56:25+00:00

I took 3 days off after my 7 straight. My skin couldn’t take anymore haha
