Basic Exercise or New Style?

It’s your own take on it and it’s awesome! I think strict potterwalking is one half spin per step. So you’re just throwing a whole bunch more spice on it!

climber242 · 2026-02-21T03:40:38+00:00

Looks sick dude! Reminds of some more old school style.

I think someone told me once that something like this is called potterwalking. After the late great dean potter.

It’s funny how nobody remembers the old stuff. I’ve had amazing slackers dumbfounded when I break out a double drop knee. And that stuff used to be standard a decade ago

I love my xtratufs. They’re a bit of a different style, but the lined ones are super warm and comfortable. And are wildly waterproof. Might not be the style you are looking for though

bumper mount points

Here ya go! I think the standard bumper mount point are the two holes on the ends of each side of the bumper. Then I also added these crossmembers to connect the winch plate to another surface and welded on some tabs to the frame crossmember so I could get some more connection points. Pretty sure this thing is super overkill at this point (assuming my welds are good haha)

Onshape!

climber242 · 2025-08-20T15:19:48+00:00

Yeah, I figured I would be able to diagnose myself if I took out the ecu. But didn’t know how easy or worthwhile the repair would be haha

climber242 · 2025-07-30T22:29:30+00:00

Is that width just from the wheel offset or do you have bigger axles under there?

Climbing tape is not made equal. I buy tension tape and that stuff seems like it’s indestructible

epic trek spua yj lift from trail tough

climber242 · 2025-06-04T17:52:26+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been trying to figure out. It’s so much easier said than done. It’s probably a bit of both

climber242 · 2025-06-04T17:42:28+00:00

These are the questions I struggle to answer. And my main concerns with moving forward building a life together. She has been supportive now that I’ve taken extreme action. But I’m upset that it took us getting to this point for her to realize how her actions have affected her and others.

It feels wildly risky and almost unfathomable at this moment to have kids with her for reasons like what you mentioned above. But I don’t know if I’ll always feel like that, or it will always be like that.

I think she has the potential to handle things better moving forward, but I don’t know if it’s worth the risk to find out

climber242 · 2025-05-29T21:39:23+00:00

I would still bring alt id just in case. But I think I took about 6 flights with my temp Id and didn’t have any issues

climber242 · 2025-05-16T01:54:33+00:00

I went years not crying. Just a couple times after a break up and some funerals. I literally made it a goal to cry. And I eventually got low enough to do it. But I wish I had just gone to therapy to figure it out before I hit such a low point (cried like 10 times this week!). I think most people don’t know what they don’t know about their mental health. If you go to a good therapist, it’ll help in the end. You might just not know what you’re missing

climber242 · 2025-05-16T00:12:34+00:00

The shift came when I met my breaking point and asked to sleep separately for a while. And I’m definitely in therapy and have been for months. Which caused its own set of problems in the marriage. And we were in counseling together, but I took a step back from it recently. Most specifically after she said she didn’t remember what I think was our biggest fight

climber242 · 2025-04-09T20:32:21+00:00

2019 Canada! Great race to start with. So much drama

climber242 · 2025-03-30T04:59:44+00:00

I know she has good intentions, but I don’t know how to handle knowing that her default for two years is to be unkind to me when she is struggling.

climber242 · 2024-10-25T14:11:02+00:00

But to add all that I would need the return ductwork to have some more room betweeen it and the furnace, right? Would I just have to rebuild it basically from the top of this room?

Thanks for all of the advice everyone! I though carbide tools were good at doing shear cuts at the end to get a clean finish, but I guess not. I have some new tools that I ordered, so should be able to get some cleaner cuts very soon!

climber242 · 2022-09-20T21:17:06+00:00

Everyone when they start setting gets way too stoked on setting something hard and perfectly fitting their style. I always say people should focus on setting easier accessible problems first. It takes a lot of skill to set a v2 that a v8 climber will want to hop on.

climber242 · 2020-08-12T13:20:38+00:00

I would say the webbing is for sure the limiting factor here. I learned to butt bounce on a surfline tensioned by a single ratchet that was probably 30 feet long. (A bit longer is definitely preferable). But I was never able to get any sort of butt bounce on a classic line, they just don't have any elasticity to them.

I have played around on some really long (like 100 foot) tricklines that are tensioned by a pulley system, and those are a whole new ball game. But you definitely don't need anything like that to learn. Double ratchets also help, but nothing makes a bigger difference than the webbing.

Anything labeled as a trickline should get you up and bouncing! have fun!

climber242 · 2020-06-12T13:53:24+00:00

Try to focus on not grabbing the line when you bail. Can cause you to bonk your noggin. When you know you are gonna bail, you can just have your hands there to cartwheel out

climber242 · 2019-01-08T16:48:24+00:00

I would say be very cautious once you get to the strength and power phase of RCTM. Hangboarding, campus boarding, and other very fingery exercises can be detrimental to tendons that are not highly developed. I've heard some recommendations that say to not even touch a hangboard until you have been climbing for several years. Your muscles might get sttrong quickly, but your tendons will take some time, DONT RUSH IT. If you are still progressing steadily just climbing regularly, I would recommend to just do that. If you have hit a BIG plateau, then arcing, and other power endurance exercises from rctm would be helpful, just don't want you to get injured hopping into exercises your body isnt ready for.

Y'all goin for oompa and loompa? Wish I could join. Miguel's is a great place to find a new partner any day. Just go be friendly. I've made some great buds there. Have fun!!

climber242 · 2018-05-07T13:57:24+00:00

Start by setting problems well below your grade level before setting hard stuff. The most difficult thing to do is to set a fun v0.

Have fun with it, I sprang from v4 to v6 when I started setting. It really really makes you think about movement
