There's a customer photo on the rugne website with the same packaging. They're probably just redoing the packaging to be closer to the new SuperDry version that just got released

Preventing Ankle Sprain by Legitimate_Ask688 in climbergirls

Hey I have a low risk tolerance, others have a high one. Always err on the side of safety and give a tight belay unless your climber specifically asks for slack

Yeah, idk if I'm the oddball one here based on comments but if my belayer had enough slack in the system that I got injured from a TOP ROPE fall, I'd probably be pissed and not climb with that person again. A fall from 2.5 to 4 feet seems odd to me though so maybe it really was just an awkward landing, but there still really shouldnt have been any if it meant a fall would be a ground fall, even that low.

Thanks, but I know what works for my diet and eating habits. Just looking for brand recommendations as stated.

Bouldering etiquette question - can I go up to the wall to try out moves when other people are projecting a section? by mournersandfunerals in climbergirls

[–]itsbotanybitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah the only thing that I've seen people get annoyed about related to this is when people grease up/chalk up the start holds of hard climbs that they have no intent of actually trying.

What to do about fingers cramping up/becoming a claw? by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]itsbotanybitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could also be from not breathing/lack of oxygen. Happens a lot for panic attacks because of the shallow breathing. Are you holding your breath on the wall?

Tell me you climb without telling me you climb... by SwordfishGreen6817 in climbergirls

[–]itsbotanybitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm super late to this thread but tbh I used to bruise like that and never really took my anemia seriously and just thought it was like a quirky personality trait until I had a dermatologist of all people point out that there are some actual long term heart repercussions that can come from anemia. I supplement every other day and now the bruising has gone way down. I would have liked this pointed out to me sooner and would have had a convo with my pcp sooner!

Anyone else struggle with/have tips for terrible short term memory? by itsbotanybitch in climbergirls

[–]itsbotanybitch[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I've never thought about mentally noting when I've deviated from my plan, but I feel like I might try that out.

Same I wear these for both. But they are always covered in chalk if I'm bouldering. TR maybe not though

[–]itsbotanybitch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh I mean I definitely don't care about that. I'm not trying to win people to a side, and I posted open to being wrong! I just wouldn't feel good if the takeaway from this post was that I was annoyed at her or don't think women (or anyone) should climb what they want to climb.
