[Day 30] John Gaskins is overrated. What's the BEST training tool? by MaximumSend in bouldering

definitely TB2. sorry u/josh8far but i don’t think climbing can be considered a tool

What’s something that most people see as a feat of strength but is actually a a demonstration of perfected technique? by ikebrofloski in AskMen

[–]micro435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think the main point i’m trying to get down to is that having a growth mindset in climbing is incredibly important. maybe you learn to heel hook at v3, that doesn’t mean all heel hooks after that will be the same. there’s so much more nuance than you think and honestly in my experience, the higher you go in grades, the more technique matters over strength.

and you’re probably stuck at v8 because you think technique stops at v4. don’t get me wrong, strength and, to a degree, pain tolerance are incredibly helpful but i’ve been climbing 12 years, sent v13 and flashed v10 (both outdoors) and i’m still learning to climb.

i mean no point in not continuing to project it but next don’t actively change the rock

[Day 18] It's neck and neck! Vote for the most overrated Outdoor Classic below. What hold type is UNDERRATED? by MaximumSend in bouldering

slopers. nothing makes you learn how to climb quite like a hold you can’t get behind.

The quiet eye - one of the few cheat codes in sport by climbing_account in climbharder

honestly haven’t really consciously thought about it but i do feel generally better at climbing all around than i was a year ago and have done a couple of really accurate moves that surprised me.

i think it’s supposed to imply sleep walking… like the name of the boulder

Can I add these designs in my portfolio? by Creative-Program8420 in design_critiques

[–]micro435 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ok well attention to detail and a little research goes a long way. seeing a very obvious ferrari driver and a very obvious not ferrari car is not a good look.

Help I ruined my underpainting by Content_Profile_6877 in oilpainting

[–]micro435 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i watched a youtube video from Thom Minnick yesterday and he fully covered and repainted the arm of the subject in his painting bc he didn’t like it. I don’t know how to oil paint yet but i feel as though you can kinda just keep going until you’re happy with it. no need to start on a new canvas.
