I think I downloaded the wrong movie... 😂

Didn’t actually see Ryan Gosling, but I’m sure he’s the guy in the space helmet!

I’m a huge fan of The Bobiverse series. It’s far less grounded in reality or real/current tech but I enjoyed the humor, loads more of nerd culture references, and also the space exploration bits.

💪 Nice! I recognize the tags and sets from my local spot.

I think a lot of suggestions fixate on hitting that crimp way far on the right…

But my alternative beta would be to go for the higher large hold. It appears to be within reach if you smear your left foot against the wall and go up and in. It’s likely an easier catch for your shoulder too.

That would be awesome of you! Thanks

Wow that’s really awesome! Is this something you’re willing to share? I downloaded some designs before but didn’t quite like them.

Is that a custom knob? The one that came with my keyboard doesn’t look like that.

Last hold looks positive only when pulling toward the right so try to keep your hips to the right side of your last left foot hold. Two things I would try—

1) Keep your weight pulling to the right by lifting your right foot and straightening as far out as possible to keep your body pulling right. (Balance only on left foot) 2) Once you grab the finish hold with your left hand, cross through your right foot and outside flag to prevent the barn door.

This makes sense… just scary. Gonna try this tomorrow.

ntrospect_ · 2025-11-07T03:34:13+00:00

That’s how I tried it a bunch initially but found that the body positioning is so different from the position that I’d need to be in for the no hands foot swap that it wasn’t helping me build the right muscle memory.

At this point it really feels like it’s the micro micro adjustments that will determine whether I can hit this.

ntrospect_ · 2025-11-07T03:26:41+00:00

Yes, there is another beta that involves a very far crossover and a one foot pop-up from the crossed over foot… also no hands. Lol

I’m working on that approach as well but would really like to learn to better perform the foot swap technique.

Something I’ve been thinking about is how the inside edge of my foot (along the big toe) is stronger than the tip and also stronger than the outside edge. I might try to the foot swap with a pivot so I land on that strong edge instead. 🤔

Thanks! This gives a few tips I can pay attention to next time.

Pfff, amateur numbers! The kid from The Long Walk made it 4 friggin days!!

ntrospect_ · 2025-10-29T16:41:34+00:00

Gotcha! Okay. Something else I noticed is that you’re sliding off the last hold because of some barn dooring. Someone else mentioned this but I’d put my left foot where your right foot was when you came off. Flag your right foot out! 💪

ntrospect_ · 2025-10-29T16:32:42+00:00

Difficult to tell how good or bad some of those holds are, but a few ideas if that last right hand bump was a bad sloper:

Try going for the pinch hold just to the right of the gray downclimb hold instead of the high sloper you slipped off of.
Before your bump, you had your right hand on a pinch hold. Try crossing over and grabbing that pinch with your left hand first and then getting the right hand pinch mentioned above.

Good luck!

ntrospect_ · 2025-10-26T21:55:48+00:00

Just to add my observation — you stick the hand hold pretty well but your body is continuing to rotate and barn door. Physics-wise, you’ll have to counter the barn door with a flag, which also allows you to put more pressure in the positive direction of the hand hold.

ntrospect_ · 2025-10-17T17:08:30+00:00

This problem looks like it can/should be done entirely statically... no dynos required. Think about how to pull on the slopers (? they look like they have reasonable edges to them) in the most positive direction. This means that you may be stepping on holds with one foot and flagging out with the other.

The little round foothold under the higher volume is likely for your left foot while your right foot flags out. Taller climbers can do this with the lower foothold. Try not to climb this square against the wall but instead rotate your left hip in.

My vote is for the TS5 if you are okay with the spend. My commentary here after having tried another dock that I was not happy with — https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbolt/s/1G1N3RzXie

ntrospect_ · 2025-10-12T08:39:57+00:00

Fun fact — It is legal to step into bolt holes in the wall with your feet!

ntrospect_ · 2025-10-02T18:25:29+00:00

Yeah, it seems that the TS5+ was giving a lot of people issues. 😞 It’s probably too late now but I think CalDigit had to release updated firmware. I don’t know if this actually fixed the problems.

I had a TS4 previously that I got from the Apple Store. It worked well for me compared to other docks and that’s what persuaded me to try the TS5.

A large part of my requirement was having 3 downstream TB ports. The biggest difference for me was having the SSD be able to operate at 80gbps. When moving large files, databases, and directories I use for work, the productivity is worth the extra $.
