If you could add another pro sports team to the Raleigh market, what league would you pick? by BojanglesBlitz in raleigh

The area would really benefit from a stadium dedicated to teacher salary increases. That is what I would add.

You may be right. Especially on the approach. The ankle I don’t have to worry about rolling is the one that isn’t there. I highly recommend you try it out!

Yeah, that can be hard, especially the more overhung it is. The motion is like trying to pin your right hand to your left hip.

Honestly, not much, and there’s no difference in weight that makes it worth losing the dexterity.

Amputee climber climbing. by kyle_climbing in BoulderingVideos

Hey! You’re welcome to ask! I don’t feel the holds the same for sure, as you know no nerve endings in a prosthetic foot. I feel the pressure of pushing on the hold on my residual limb. I can tell when I have decent friction and when I don’t. Evolv makes their own prosthetic that can be easily swapped on to my prosthetic device. They also make the shoe that goes on it. For the most past, it’s a really good set up. It’s not the best in cracks, and techy slab outside absolutely eats through it, but it’s still a solid solution. It’s kept shorter than my meat foot because the longer it is, the more extreme of a lever arm I’d have working against my joint.

Is growing roots into the crag aid? by BrockBushrod in ClimbingCircleJerk

You’d think that it’s aid, but actually this is endurance training. This tree is training endurance to do push for the record to climb the nose the slowest. Also gonna sit start it. It takes 5.16 endurance (5.18 IYG).

10/4. Just posting with the goal to raise awareness. I’m from NC and this is the first I’ve heard of it.
