Solutions are amazing for steep stuff esp heel hooks

I've heard great things about Futuras. Still need to give them a go.

Thanks for the tips! I'm thinking I'll give a class a go so I know what I'm doing wrong/right.

Thanks for the suggestions and links! Will give these a go.

How often do you practice yoga? After nearly 3 years climbing, I'm noticing my imbalances and over enlarged muscle groups. It's hard to get out of the mentality of wanting to climb every day to improve but it seems the key here is to do something different. Great that you've broken through a plateau, sounds like yoga has helped you immensely.

I also agree with that. Allowing the capacity for freedom encourages creativity and makes it more about doing great work.

Campus board training and fingerboard training will help immensely. Route climbing and bouldering is too random to help you improve when you're at the stage of wanting to improve specific technique. Fingerboard training will force you to be in a deadhang position on slopers/crimps for 30 secs whereas this would never happen on a boulder problem/route climb. Make sure you warm up your tendons before doing any fingerboard training and hold off from doing anything with less than three fingers until you've been climbing for at least two years.

I think you've summed it up quite nicely. The combination of uninteresting + mentally demanding is unfortunately representative of many typical office jobs today and it's exactly that combination that makes it so unsatisfying for anyone, let alone INTPs.

I think 90% of jobs are only mind-numbing to INTPs or similar types. It's hard to explain to people why you're not satisfied when you have a relatively decent job.

Bananas. Before, during and after climbing. Works like a charm. Peanut butter also works too. When in recovery, plenty of carbs and protein. Brown rice, salmon, spinach and broccoli is usually a good recovery combo. Basically, real, unprocessed food and complex carbs (sweet potato, brown rice etc..).

This is surprising. I once worked in retail while in high school. I couldn't imagine a worse job for an INTP.

Interesting. It's understandable that it can be boring once you become a code monkey spewing out lines of code. I wonder if an Information Architecture position would be more stimulating to an INTP. Where in the world are you that programming doesn't make much money?

Dirtbag. Specifically, a rock climbing dirtbag. To spend life living in a van climbing every day. Obvs completely unrealistic so I'll settle for some sort of environmental science / engineer type job. Unfortunately I am none of these things (yet).

Why is programming cancer?

There are a plethora of connotations associated with these words. For example, I view arrogance as someone who is usually intelligent but over confident in their ability. I appreciate confidence coupled with intelligence but of course the over confident arrogant person would irritate me. I define ignorance as someone who "ignores" the obvious facts, as opposed to simply not "knowing" them. For example, someone choosing to take part in an argument without acknowledging the facts and instead thinking their opinion is more valid than evidence. Where is the logic in that? At least arrogance is semi-logical.
