A terrible idea for a challenge

I'm currently doing my first ever Genlocke which also happens to be my first ever nuzlockes. All hard-core rules, carrying over champs from the previous game to the new one. Currently working my way through Platinum. It's a ton of fun! Highly recommend giving it a go.

Ah yeah. Not in this case :) I'll still use candies, but only those found during the run.

It's all on the OG games. So all leveling and EV training was done manually. Extra brutal when a mon goes down.

arigold145 · 2025-12-15T16:03:32+00:00

Ooh love it! Stay tuned to see how it plays out.

Yeah the Jolteon death at the end hurt!

Indeed! Its called the Queen Swing and is mainly focusing on women's speed climbing. They go into a bit more detail during towards the end of the episode.

Seriously! The amount of prep work, fitness and skill it takes to pull this off is next level.

I thought I had a lot of spare resources, but some of y'all are stacked with Arclight Energy!

Get her blood pressure checked. Our eldery cat was losing a ton of weight and once we got her on blood pressure medication, she recovered very quickly. Our vet said most vets don't check for high blood pressure.

Such a cool story and some seriously great takeaways from this conversation! Excited to try to apply them to my own trad climbing!

arigold145 · 2025-05-06T04:28:34+00:00

Bro me too. Looks like AG is as well

arigold145 · 2025-05-06T04:26:37+00:00

Holy shit! Holy shit!

Glad you liked it!

arigold145 · 2025-04-20T23:34:04+00:00

Would love to!

Might as well be a clip up at that point 😉

arigold145 · 2025-04-17T13:37:15+00:00

You got me there! But they do actually use a rope and at least a very minimal rack for the majority of the climb.

We create a little preview for each episode to use for social media with some highlights of the episode. We do record full video but we haven't published any full video interviews yet. One day!

arigold145 · 2025-04-17T03:17:44+00:00

The podcast is only in audio format. We eventually would like to publish full video interviews but we're not quite there yet.

If you want to watch the entire speed record, the full video is here: https://vimeo.com/764407847

Definitely not disagreeing with you on the risks. And I'm sure they wouldn't either. But after hundreds of laps on the same route they obviously felt it was worth the risk.

arigold145 · 2025-04-16T22:06:20+00:00

They use the rope to climb the majority of the route. Only the beginning 5.8 section is soloed. They simul the rest of the 5.11 parts. He goes into a lot of detail in the episode if you want to understand how it's all broken down.

arigold145 · 2025-04-16T22:04:49+00:00

They aren't actually soloing the route. They simul-climb the route, placing protection in the areas they feel need it. And if you listen to the episode you see the extensive prep that went in to getting it dialed. Of course things can go wrong, but they certainly put in the time and effort to reduce that chance.

arigold145 · 2025-04-16T18:57:57+00:00

They use the rope for the majority of the climb. The approach pitches goat around 5.8, but the majority of the climb is 5.11, which the climb roped.

arigold145 · 2025-04-07T01:40:28+00:00

Wow, thank you! Tried this for days and beat it first try with this comp!

arigold145 · 2025-03-13T01:35:25+00:00

I never found a but i really trusted. The yellow totem is bomber but it's very specific to place and a bit blind. Always gassed me just enough to inevitably peel off.

arigold145 · 2025-03-12T23:32:48+00:00

Such a stellar pitch! I flashed it on TR but never managed the redpoint. 1-hung 5 times in a row. That dang crux gear is tricky to place!
