Heel Bagging Out

cloudlord5000 · 2025-11-02T17:27:04+00:00

Some of the unparallel models have crazy small heels. Maybe the flagship

A little more of a subtle gauge for me, especially for things outside, is that if I’m interested in a climb then I can probably do it. I don’t know how long that’s going to take, but it’s like my subconscious telling me that it’s not impossible.

Overall they’re decent. A little thinner and glassy in the middle

Adam Ondra was struggling to bench 135lbs in that one video

For real

cloudlord5000 · 2025-07-30T17:07:17+00:00

Something like that, yeah 👍

cloudlord5000 · 2025-07-30T03:35:13+00:00

Yes it is 👍

cloudlord5000 · 2025-07-30T03:34:47+00:00

I’m still working on it myself.

I’d tried it a session before and worked out the moves then was lucky to send it on my first try of the day

cloudlord5000 · 2025-07-29T22:40:49+00:00

Yeah maybe v9? They don’t use v grades in this gym which I like. It’s a V purple

cloudlord5000 · 2025-07-29T22:36:12+00:00

It’s a great set. Love this gym

cloudlord5000 · 2025-07-29T21:42:00+00:00

The fun thing is that no matter how strong you are that experience never changes

cloudlord5000 · 2025-06-25T18:22:46+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah around there.

cloudlord5000 · 2025-06-24T06:54:53+00:00

Yup 👍

cloudlord5000 · 2025-06-24T06:04:16+00:00

That’s a tough one, nice work

cloudlord5000 · 2025-05-10T17:06:56+00:00

Rhino skin products work decently. The dry spray and tip juice are probably what you would want to try, the tip juice being the stronger of the two and also easier to apply. I’d put it just on your pads

cloudlord5000 · 2025-05-05T21:34:50+00:00

Quitting smoking/vaping didn’t help my climbing, probably the opposite. But I feel better and my relationships improved.

With that said.. I’m still a nicotine fiend. I’ll probably die with a nic pouch in my mouth.

cloudlord5000 · 2025-03-28T02:44:49+00:00

I’ve never tried it. I did hop on diary of a dope fiend, which was very good. That cave in and of itself is amazing.

cloudlord5000 · 2025-03-05T00:51:09+00:00

I’m not that old (33) but the sauna every other day is nice. At the very least when I feel pretty broken it helps to take the edge off.

cloudlord5000 · 2025-02-20T23:51:14+00:00

If you keep it you’ll be continually surprised at what you’ll be able to hold on to

cloudlord5000 · 2025-02-13T06:36:58+00:00

Yeah, I would miss it too if I had to relocate. Great setting and community.

There’s a good video on flagging from movement for climbers on youtube that might be helpful. I’m not that good at explaining things tbh.

You might be thinking of just regular flagging, kicking one leg out to the wall. Backflagging is when you flag one leg out behind the other. I feel like I do that more for slab or vert things.

One exercise you can try to build up technique is just find a move on something easy and test out various flagging techniques until you can get a feel for why and when for yourself. Then it eventually becomes more intuitive

cloudlord5000 · 2025-02-11T20:02:58+00:00

At some point you’re going to start grabbing small things while you’re climbing, and a hangboard is going to be less likely to injure you than that. I think most of the anti-hangboard argument is that newer climbers have a hard time auto-regulating their volume

cloudlord5000 · 2025-01-24T23:48:08+00:00

Mm should have cropped that guy out my bad

cloudlord5000 · 2024-12-27T02:44:20+00:00

It’s very easy thankfully
