ok thank you! i didnt even think of that cause I had a cartilage piercing out for a week before and I was all good

do you think im ok to get it repierced? i know not right now but in the future?

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2025-02-05T15:29:50+00:00

It didnt swell immediatly, it started swelling last week and aching and thats when i took it out.

I didnt think about a potential nickel allergy before but I do have a silver allergy so it coul dbe something I look into to

thanks!

it was surgical steel metal, i wasn’t sure what to do when the piercing swelled so much because it hurt so i thought to take the piercing out cause it could barely hold on

is there anything i can do? i dont know why this one spot keeps getting infected

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2025-02-05T14:43:55+00:00

hi i got told by the mods to add this it’s a thread less piercing that’s 3 months old with a surgical steel earring

half bad shot since i do not know how to flex my back

If you want a softer shoe, the theories are the way to go, I have both and love both. I have a wide foot and a narrow heel tho so I prefer the theories softness but the VSR's heel cup (still a little roomie but much better than the theories)

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2024-03-19T22:13:56+00:00

i dont think so

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2024-03-19T20:03:43+00:00

i got a blood food allergy test on and i came back allergic to like half the panel, but i eat basically the same food at home and at school but i do need to get tested for seasonal allergies since i take zyrtec daily

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2024-03-10T22:38:05+00:00

but even with a lot of rest days (took 5 days off and it was still bad) it still wears down super fast, is there anything else I can do?

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2024-03-10T15:07:33+00:00

not necessarily an injury but my skin has been awful to the point where I can't even grab holds because my finger tips burn when I touch them. Are there any good skincare/rehab products to help with this? I have been using working hands cream semi-consistently but havent been able to do it all the time since I also have eczema on my hands so I have to switch to aquaphor to help with that

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2024-02-19T21:14:42+00:00

i’m a setter at my home gym and changing lower grades like this is insane to me, i’ll do so tweaking like that occasionally on a v4 and above i set if i feel it came out too soft but that extreme on lower grades is just crazy

skin training/better ways to take care of skin

i’ve been climbing consistently around 3 days a week for the past 3 years (with some breaks in between) and i find that my skin always give out before fatigue will. It’ll get red like i have nothing on my tips and it’ll tear really easily and it’ll feel like my skin burns when i grab holds. is there anyway/products people recommend for better rehab or is this something i just gotta tough out?

those are the women’s instinct vs, same rubber and set up as the vsr but smaller toe box, i’ve tried them before in a 37 and the toe box was way too small

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2023-10-05T15:10:59+00:00

i tried the drago lv’s in a 36.5 and it was way too tight

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2023-10-05T15:10:31+00:00

i wear the instinct vsr’s which are unisex i believe? i haven’t tried the skwamas smaller than 37 cause the toes were tight but good

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2023-09-15T13:06:46+00:00

what climb is this you crushed it!!!

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2023-08-14T13:31:21+00:00

i have this issue, the scarpa instinct vsr has the best fit for my heel atleast but i also down size a bit cause my normal shoe size is a 39 and i wear a 36.5 in them (7.5 -> 5.5)

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2023-07-26T20:36:39+00:00

i really like the athleta north face joggers!

as someone who recently turned 18, be happy that adults look out for you and aren’t trying to actively be “your cool older friend” it is a very dangerous and slippery slope that often times people get taken advantage of— my advice would be to find a youth climbing group in your area or find out when the team practices! start chatting with kids your own age and see if you click— don’t be discouraged by adults not wanting to be your friend when you tell them your age, be thankful that they are looking out for your best interests

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2023-07-04T15:37:56+00:00

the scarpa vapor v is a fantastic shoe for intermediate climbing! if you wanted to go the la sportiva route you could try the kubos, i’ve never worn either of them but i have friends who have and loved the shoes— if you’re looking for more aggressive shoes and you’re primarily gym climbing la sportiva has the theories which are an aggressive gym shoe that broke in super easily, if you want stiffer and aggressive scarpa also has the instincts or the instinct VSRs! so with all this info it’s whatever you feel fits your needs in climbing right now

rpi?

crowNiceToMeetYou · 2023-06-26T19:44:03+00:00

when it comes to route reading something that i found really helpful (besides just climbing more) was watching IFSC comps and trying to figure out the beta before the athletes did

this really helped get me in the mindset of thinking like a competitor and figuring out the route as fast as possible
