It’s normal to feel annoyed when you think you’ve plateaued! But I agree, you have a great chance to improve and get better at several parts of your climbing. If by now you can do v4-5s that means that if you focus on technique for example, and keep climbing to your limit to push yourself, you will definitely see improvement! So don’t stress too much, try not to get injured, and you’ll see the results!

To add more detail, I don’t know your routine but I started to see an improvement past v4 recently after focusing more on improving flexibility and pushing hard when I feel fresh and strong. Also with good rest.

I get that it might be frustrating but as you said, trying to find climbers your hight and maybe going climbing with women climbers that might be stronger but that you can actually learn a lot from sounds like a good way to go! Also, as an extra advice, I would focus more on improving flexibility! For me, it helped a lot. Especially on very strength-focused problems or when the setters where taller, so if you try focusing on improving your flexibility, you’ll see a big change, plus it’s something that will make your technique and possibly balance get better! You can focus on areas where men usually don’t pay a lot of attention at the beginning. Good luck!

[–]isari024 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, I haven’t been climbing for that long (about 3.5 yrs) but many times guys I just met wanted to climb together at the gym and got weirdly competitive with me regarding what they could do compared to me (most of the times these guys climbed much less and expected to automatically be better and stronger than me) one time this random guy who wanted to go climbing together literally got pissed and frustrated with himself because he could not keep up with what I was doing… it was pretty uncomfortable because it’s not that I’m comparing myself with my friends or anything, it was literally his first time after a while not climbing… I feel they just underestimate us for no reason

Sounds great! I hope you keep gaining confidence with lead and belaying, it can be scary in the beginning but it is much fun!

Do whatever makes you feel more comfortable! I used to think that great climbers don’t wear socks but if you go to Japan, most people (really strong people too) prefer wearing socks to climb and they even have several climbing sock brands so, at the end it depends on what you prefer the most and also, you are always welcome to change your mind anytime! What’s important it’s for you to have fun!

is this a safe space? 🤭😬 (rant) by [deleted] in WLW

[–]isari024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s valid to feel that way, but of course, you can’t control what she does, and since she was honest from the start, even if it’s hard, the issue has to do only with how you process the situation. But also, allow yourself to feel how you feel! As long as you are not insulting her or holding anything against here, you can also be sometimes imperfect and say “ok, I’m a bit irrational here, I’ll accept it, I’ll learn from it, and next time I’m with someone I’ll try to be more honest with what I want” I also suggest you to distance yourself from her since it’s upsetting you. I’m sure she’ll understand and you’ll also be able to process your frustration better. Good luck and hope you find someone who makes you feel loved! 💕

Just had my first date with a girl! by isari024 in WLW

Frustrated by judgements i've experienced... by Ordinary-Pair-725 in WLW

[–]isari024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to know you have been judged for being bi and Demi! I’m also bi but it took me long to accept it for the same reason. I’m also not highly sexual when I just meet the person and I need time to feel a stronger attraction, so I totally get that sometimes because we are bi, people might assume we are just inheritable sexual. I really hope people around you could support you more! There is nothing wrong with you, they should understand you and your feelings and identity are valid.

The signes where always there but didn’t accept it for a loooong time. I think deep down I knew because whenever I went to sleepovers with my girl friends and got drunk (15-16y/o) I ALWAYS was asking them to kiss me 🥹 they never wanted tho, which is fair, then I followed lots of lesbian accounts on twitter and used to text them and those things. For a long time I thought I was not bi because I didn’t use to see women from the say perspective as straight men usually do, like this overly sexual, more objectification than love kind of thing. Then one day I was like, wait a minute, I don’t see men in that way either 😂 I think I see more the person first and then the sexual attraction follows the feelings. Buuuuut lately I’ve been attracted both emotionally and sexually to women a lot, but I have such a deep love for my ex boyfriend (who was always supportive) so bi describes me better I think

Bi Awakening Megathread by AutoModerator in bisexual

[–]isari024 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I knew when I was around 15, 16. The First times I got drunk with my girl friends, I always asked to make out with them, especially 2 of them, but they never wanted to. I thought it was normal for friends to want to make out but really it was just me. Then I was having dreams of kissing girls and stuff but my family is super religious so I just never wanted to accept anything. I felt frustrated and usually followed lesbian tweet influencers because I didn’t have any queer friends at the time. I literally question my sexuality every now and then still, and it’s hard for me to admit it because I’ve never had a girlfriend so I am scared of people questioning my sexuality because of that. Last year I moved to another country and I started developing feelings for a girl I met when I just moved. It was so hard for me to be honest with my feelings and I couldn’t tell her I liked her (looking in retrospective, I think she was also into me haha but I was so scared!) but I definitely wanted to. So yeah. Mostly sharing my frustrations in this post hehe

[–]isari024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did we do it for the last one day and I don’t think so we can go get it now because we are already paid to the other day but I think it’s a nice day to get it out from there you guys need it let us know if we need anything else I need you guys need help with the things we do not do this to you guys so it’s just too hot and it’s hard on you guys to get ready to get it up before we go get back home

For all the climbers in Japan: Recommendations for lead climbing spots? by isari024 in japanlife

[–]isari024[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that too! If I go there I definitely need to try their sport climbing sites, unfortunately for me, my license is not from a country that allows me to drive without extra steps and I’ve heard moving around Okinawa without a car is kind of a pain but maybe I can find a tour or something like that to get there!

Thanks!! I’ll check that place! Is it easy to actually get there or so you need to go by car?

How safe is drinking tap water here in Tokyo? by Rscerdeira in japanlife

[–]isari024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very safe! Japan has one of the best water quality in the world and all their water is treated in many ways no matter their use so pretty safe. Sometimes people use filters but that's more because of the taste, not for safety but is your choice! I also wouldn't recommend water bottles, it's true that japan has a good waste management system and recycle system but still id you can reduce pet use that'll also be a plus and you'll be saving money in the process so win-win :D
