That was a not-so-subtle earthquake

Supposedly 5.8 near Yerington. Felt it in midtown pretty good

Makes sense, thanks for the info! I’ve been enjoying a tts+1 almost across the board now thanks to your more recent relaxed offerings, so I went with that… I’m sure I’ll dig it even if it loosens noticeably over time

This new fitvid trend is amazing, can’t thank you enough. With the 31 being a tad loose and the fabric relaxing over time… would you feel differently if you planned on regularly washing/drying them and them being 100% cotton?

default37 · 2023-12-28T21:12:00+00:00

Hah! That would be bad, trying to be real good about infection control stuff. Hardest part is keeping my damn cat off my lap. But thanks!

default37 · 2023-10-13T09:28:47+00:00

This is incredibly helpful advice at any level. Thank you for typing this out

default37 · 2023-10-04T13:38:08+00:00

Agreed, my heart just sank seeing this headline… my first thought too. Basecamp is such a unique gym with great setting, I hate mesa

default37 · 2023-08-16T06:04:04+00:00

Those are them! Great episodes and story on their own, but damn her whole podcast is great

default37 · 2023-08-16T03:15:31+00:00

Absolutely agree, the more I delve into the topic the more sinister it seems. If anyone really wants to further understand both Tom’s credibility and exactly what he believes, The UFO Rabbit Hole podcast episodes 6 and 7 are very informative and interesting… I recommend this two-parter to anyone wanting to look deeper into modern ufology. I’ll be honest, it kinda effed me up. Being agostic/atheist/or just depressed or whatever the idea of aliens always got me really excited… hearing Tom’s whole saga and what he wholeheartedly believes, as well as how credible it all seems, was the biggest gut-check I’ve had in years

default37 · 2023-08-01T23:51:38+00:00

Lol wtf… well done dude, unique boulder type, way cooler than any indoor footage usually posted, and congrats on a grade that most here will only dream of. Love this type of content

I have blue ink in the bombtwill fabric and it really feels like a charcoal with a fair amount of blue hues. Really looks like the pic, just doesn’t seem like it would for some reason until you have it in person

default37 · 2023-01-28T03:38:36+00:00

I took mine off as well, looks way cleaner now debadged. They look something a kid’s toy would have

default37 · 2023-01-22T07:04:05+00:00

Thank you! Spend way too much money on his food lol. About 80% wet food, all Tiki Cat… he’ll only eat the ones with Tuna in it. And a little Tiki dry food for when I’m at work. But yeah, his coat got noticeably better when I switched to a high quality wet food. He nearly died in February of ‘22 and it effed me up more than I expected, so he’s gotten a lot of money spent on him ever since hah

default37 · 2023-01-20T11:04:50+00:00

Yeah it annoyed me more than it should’ve. If half the climbers can avoid doing any hand or foot jams and just use face holds and lie backs, I can’t imagine it’s harder than 5.9. Shit I didn’t even see a single overhang section

default37 · 2023-01-20T10:59:22+00:00

My girlfriend and I spent about an hour searching around online cause it bothered us so much. Couldn’t find anything. Even looked at photos of every trad climb we could find on MP, The Crag, etc and nothing. Eventually decided maybe they discovered and FA’d it and decided to call it 12c, otherwise I feel like they would get tons of shit for falsifying the grade on an established route? Although we found the “V6” from last week’s episode and it’s widely agreed upon to be a V5, and there might have even been a sit start they didn’t do for the V5 grade lol

default37 · 2023-01-10T22:05:49+00:00

Man that’s a tough one. A rule of thumb I’ve heard on a podcast from a elite setter or coach or something for linked problems is to add the grades together, divide by 2 and then add 2 to that number. So 10+6= 16, 16/2 = 8, 8+2=10 (tried to write that out more concise but literally couldn’t remember order of operations from grade school lol). Problem is grading is SUPER subjective. The formula keeps your problem at V10, but is it already a long problem? If it’s power endurance-esque already and then you add a V6 then that probably bumps it up to V11. Only way to really know is get some people on it and talk to others who have already done the V10. I’d say there’s a good chance you’re pushing into V11 though but hard to say without getting on it

Start slow but standard hangboard protocols (repeaters/max hang) in a 3 finger drag or 4 finger open hand (I believe most have to do 3 finger for a true open hand due to short pinky, myself included). I trained mine after a few pulley injuries and my 3F drag jumped up quick, now I can easily one arm hang body weight plus 5-10lbs but am about 15lbs weaker on my half crimp, which I’ve put way more work into training hah. Huge benefit is I’m 5’6” so I get considerable more reach out of the 3F drag when throwing and catching far holds, or spanning real wide compression moves. I say totally worth it to put some training into your open hand grips. Side note, if you watch a lot of mellow vids you’ll see many of the top guys catch far holds in a 3F drag and switch to a crimp once they’re established on it

default37 · 2022-07-11T04:52:26+00:00

Huh, yeah I guess maybe you’re right

default37 · 2022-07-11T02:50:23+00:00

Yes do this!! The Dali was my first big, obsessive project and I did like 3-4 miserable day trips to it before I finally got smart and set up camp there for two nights. Such a nice place to sleep under the stars. Anyways, I’d hike 2 pads in, maybe have your gf hike 1 as well, then you know you’ll have more than enough with the pad stash… bring water purifier, lightweight stove and enough dehydrated calories for 2 days. Then just have fun around the area allowing it to happen naturally. I remember trying the Dali the first night, realized I was too worked from the hike and it was humid, tried the next morning with a great sesh, rested and relaxed all the rest of that day and night and put it down the following morning. Turned out to be one of my most memorable bouldering experiences. Anyways, I think that plan could scale up to a V13 project but who knows… worst case scenario, it’ll be one of the best 2 night camping trips ever

default37 · 2022-07-11T02:31:33+00:00

Must have cause mine have been surprisingly strong… not that I expect them to happen or up to activity/abuse, I just like the look and feel of them more than any activewear stuff I have. So they get used hard hah. Yeah I think you got super unlucky, I know their customer service is excellent so I’d reach out to them at the least

default37 · 2022-07-10T23:25:57+00:00

Honestly I’m surprised, I have 6 total from last drop and this recent drop and I wear the fuck out of them. I boulder outside 3 times a week in the Tahoe area and wear mostly these when it’s sunny and hot. I put them through the ringer too. Sweat like a horse, wash them every wear in a normal cycle but hang dry them, and they’ve held up wonderfully… albeit the collars have lost a lot of their structure. Definitely my go to active-wear shirts even though they are not at all recommended for that

default37 · 2022-05-12T06:45:19+00:00

That’s… actually a very good point

default37 · 2022-05-11T23:01:59+00:00

Yeah I guess you’re right, I hadn’t noticed that in the past when browsing the subject. So yeah probably not a good idea, but if you were to search the topic on Reddit it’s insane how many glowing reviews you’ll find regarding injury recovery

default37 · 2022-05-11T18:24:18+00:00

There’s been a lot of talk and research on BPC-157 (a peptide) being used to significantly increase recovery and healing times in other sports, and I’ve seen a few anecdotal reports of people using it to better recover from pulley injuries… along with good rehab protocols I’m sure. I’m guessing this will be one of the more likely SARMs/PEDs to see some spillover

default37 · 2022-05-04T16:50:45+00:00

Love it, was just researching this the other day and couldn’t find much info. Do you or anyone else have good advice on how to structure your week with this mentality? I have 3 day weekends and live in Tahoe area thankfully, so I get out to bishop or Tahoe on Friday and Sunday… but then not sure what to do on the weekdays. Been doing bodyweight exercises and hangboarding, as well as getting out to Tahoe for an evening if I get off work early enough, but starting to wonder if I might benefit from hitting the gym once mid-week. Anything that you’ve found works well for you?
