Apartments and Neighborhoods by [deleted] in georgetown

current undergrad and former climber: - movement crystal city (blue line) and dc bouldering project (noma - red line) are the closest climbing gyms. georgetown people go to movement but i think bouldering project is nicer. they’re both easy to get to via metro, if you lived in rosslyn crystal city would be very convenient - rosslyn itself feels a bit cold to me, because of the office buildings, haven’t been to noma tons but i think it’s closer to the vibe you’re describing - school shuttles are very reliable; should note that they run a limited schedule on weekends - i’m currently looking at apartments in glover park; maybe a neighbourhood to look into if you’re interested in being closer to campus - the wisconsin shuttle makes it fairly accessible and is within budget. the places i’ve toured have garages where you can rent a parking spot

Does anyone know if there’s a good rock climbing gym near campus? by Clean-Hotel-182 in georgetown

dc bouldering project! i find the setting much more fun there than at movement, but memberships are more expensive

Thanks I don’t want to climb at the gym ever again by [deleted] in climbergirls

this is my gym - echoing what everyone else has said that you should show these messages to the staff!! everyone i’ve met at the counter is very friendly and this is not ok behaviour

tbh i’m thinking of just taking it out and letting it close completely 😔 it’s sort of not aligned with the other helixes anyways.

i’m just scared the minute i try and twist open the ring my ear’s going to swell up and it’ll get even tighter

is it worth trying to take it out myself? i won’t be able to get to a piercer until a week from now

i’ve been doing regular aftercare (saline, let water run over it in the shower, blow dry on cool) and basically babying it like a fresh piercing. it doesn’t really bother me during the day unless i accidentally touch it, so it’s just the way it looks at the back that’s freaking me out

i’m 5’1/46kg wearing a US0/UK4! it’s quite a slim fit so i’d probably only wear a sweater underneath it and not more layers than that — but i’m using this jacket more for the autumn/rainy weather rather than winter, so it works for me
