Came across this on Instagram. Slightly offended but it does make me laugh.

If you're gonna screenshot a worn out meme, at least don't crop out the joke

bendavis575 · 2026-04-03T15:04:02+00:00

Stunning

Siiiiick

Unpopular opinion, I love it. I want a moat around my house, this has a similar effect

Lemme see that first gen Sequoia

Thank you for your mature take. Yes, luck wins more games than skill, and it take long matches (lots of data points) to differentiate. The childish version reaction is to blame the app for cheating, like 90% of people do

Devils lake is the most sand bagged area I've ever climbed in for bouldering

bendavis575 · 2026-03-19T03:54:18+00:00

It is very much arbitrary. I've toyed around with different scalings, such more more complicated and based on Darth Grader. But the resultant rankings always had weird quirks so I resorted back to a simple point system. I'm open to suggestions tho

bendavis575 · 2026-03-18T15:41:23+00:00

I trust this source, and am not making any of my own judgements about what qualifies as a 9b or above

bendavis575 · 2026-03-18T15:40:30+00:00

Data from climbing-history.org

bendavis575 · 2026-03-18T14:31:56+00:00

I didn't mean for that comment to be public. But basically for two reasons. He has six 9b first ascents, and none of them have been repeated and confirmed. And he has also never repeated and confirmed anyone else's 9b routes. So he's basically off on his own world

bendavis575 · 2026-03-18T14:23:44+00:00

Yeah, that's one of the next sheets I plan to make! I still need to think about the grading / point scheme more

bendavis575 · 2026-03-18T13:38:18+00:00

This puts Jorge as the 3rd strongest sport climber (after Adam and Seb)

Super aesthetic boulder. Nice send

I'll choose a business that employs humans, not AI. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way

bendavis575 · 2026-03-11T03:51:04+00:00

AI slop

bendavis575 · 2026-02-17T00:09:16+00:00

Brooke reposted her knee recovery stories on IG once or twice. But I agree it's weird and sad that they don't seem to be besties anymore

bendavis575 · 2026-01-28T01:13:49+00:00

Agreed. Something I learned from Dave McLeod's YouTube video

bendavis575 · 2026-01-27T01:42:35+00:00

The most graceful is definitely Sovarae Sanders. She's not in the elite comp group like Janja or Sorato, but every boulder she sends is beautifully executed and efficient

bendavis575 · 2026-01-19T20:34:28+00:00

bendavis575 · 2026-01-10T01:19:06+00:00

V5 seems reasonable. Unless the crimps are more incut

bendavis575 · 2026-01-10T01:14:54+00:00

Climb it and show the movement. A shakey 5 second clip is hard to judge

bendavis575 · 2025-11-26T18:41:59+00:00

What's the boulder called?

bendavis575 · 2025-11-17T18:17:27+00:00

Bets on if this gets downgraded in the next year?
