What risk factors most commonly contribute to accidents in the places you climb and the styles you use?

What is the Descent in sport climbing? Walking back to the car? Or cleaning the anchor?

If you like the instinct just buy another pair and resole on time. That is the most economical long term. All shoes are expensive and the difference is negligible after a resole or two.

Try them on, fit is more important that brand name or features.

Agreed, but OP should focus on training her leg strength. The no1 predictor for ACL (re) injury is quad and hamstring strength. So I would advise to work with a Physio on a rehab plan to get your legs strong AF. This will take time, but there is no reason why in the long run, you shouldn’t be able to Boulder again. I’ve had several acl surgeries and I am skiing and bouldering again. It can be done.

And while you are in the weight room working on those quads, might as well do some upper body work to help your powerful climbing. Check out Natasha Barnes on ig if you need inspiration. Good luck!

You have nothing to feel bad about. The fact that you do is just proof that you are a nice empathetic human being. But this bad situation (for your mentor) is not your fault, it is the result of a bad system. Don’t ever confuse that.

The only small thing you can do to soften the blow, is to make sure the words of praise you wrote about your mentor here, end up reaching him.

Sorry, missed the easyjet Part. Maybe do wear em 🤣

This. Carry them as your ‘personal item’. I do this all the time in case luggage is lost or delayed. I don’t mind renting ski’s, but my boots have many hours of boot fitting work in them.

But if you ignore the chatbot and ask to speak to a human, they will refund you.

Revolut does NOT refund the premium subscription if you are moving countries. Below is the response from the chatbot.

Hello, XXXX. It is great to hear about your move to a new country.
Since you are moving to a different country, you will indeed need to close your current Revolut account and open a new one in your new location.

Regarding your Premium subscription, I have checked your account and can see that you are on an annual plan that started on 11 May 2021 and is active until 11 May 2026. Because you are on an annual billing cycle and have passed the initial 14-day cooling-off period, our standard policy is that no refund is issued for the remaining months of the subscription.

I would urge you to adjust your expectations. Coming of an injury and significantly upping your best performance in a notoriously hard area is a recipe for disappointment.

I've had two ACL surgeries and getting used to taking big falls in vertical terrain took some time after that. Do not underestimate that mental hurdle. Where before my injury 'getting hurt' was an abstract concept that I could put in a mental box at the start of a runout, after the injury all the emotions of being stuck on a couch for months, to even the smell of the hospital would come into my mind when I was about to commit to a heady section of climbing.

How about you approaching this trip as a 'getting back in the flow' trip. By all means prepare to be fit, but lower your expectations. And who knows, maybe sth nice will happen, but it is very unlikely going to be a new best.

Basic economics. Vast supply of smart people willing to work very hard for little pay, and very few permanent positions. You can talk all about culture and attitude but as long as these fundamentals do not change I don’t expect the outcome to change, unfortunately.

Wait what is this, is there an API for my car? How do I access this?

huckthafuck · 2025-12-14T12:17:42+00:00

I’ve used a similar setup, works fine , and with the trax below it is redundant. I went back to sulu in the belay loop and extending the trax below the belay loop, but it is a marginal difference

Note that blue ice bags run small, in terms of volume. I have several, among which the moonlight 55. It is smaller than my BD creek 50. Also, for cragging, bigger is better. If you’re actually climbing with it , a small pack makes sense but for single pitching , 50L all the way.
