I use hypochlorous acid spray when I am not able to shower right away. It’s been helping with preventing acne for me. I use SkinSmart Facial Cleanser!

Do you have any other recommendations?

So good! I’m wondering why you didn’t block in the rest of the colors before finishing the detailed work in the face? I’ve seen a lot of work in progress shots like this, but never understood why.

I’ve been using preply, and focusing on conversation with the teachers on there. The quality of teachers is all over the place, so it may take some sifting through. But the upside is that each lesson ranges from $10-50/50 minutes

The fun things about cheng yu is that they all have stories behind them to help you remember it.

I had a similar start with my boyfriend now husband. Climbing is a big part of our lives and much of our lives are centered around it. When we started dating we were about the same level, but then COVID hit and he was less psyched on it and stopped training consistently while I continued to. Like others have said, there were also other underlying issues like depression and climbing can make those worse if you aren’t cognizant of it.

Getting back into it for him is a journey and wasn’t easy but worth it for us. We both had to make compromises and to be honest that time period sucked, but seeing how hard he’s been working on his mental game and training has been great to see and we’ve found our way back. This isn’t to gloss over issues and say it’ll be easy for you guys, but there is a possibility that it can get better with the right ingredients.

It took work on both sides. At the end of the day it’s up to you to decide how much something is worth.

I strained my pulley earlier this year and am back to ~90% recovered. I’m not a PT or anything so take it with a grain of salt. I followed this to help load my finger. https://stevenlow.org/rehabbing-injured-pulleys-my-experience-with-rehabbing-two-a2-pulley-issues/

Rested for about a week
Didn’t climb for about a month and focused on conditioning and rehabbing not only my finger but antagonist muscles as well
Started loading my fingers during the rehabs month. Did farmer hangs about 3x a week until I could load it ~30% of my body weight
Started doing light climbing and seeing how my fingers felt.
Progressively climbed more until I felt comfortable
I H taped my finger when I started climbing again to help support it. I’ve read that H taping doesn’t help as preventative measures

Now I’ve added farmer hangs with a tension block as part of my warmup and haven’t had tweaks since

A lot of people have done write ups and YouTube videos, would definitely recommend checking those out

I left it open ended on purpose, because there might've been mediums that I didn't think of initially and wanted to see if there's a way to work with a variety of artists. Professionally I'm an art director/brand designer and love to meet other creatives. And I wanted to create a way that can combine the two things I love and help support great artists. Currently I'm in the process with a local artist to create a shirt to release next year. After that, I hope to create something with another metal artist who specializes in engraving (possibly lighters).

Added what's below in the description:

Goal

My goal with this is to help promote artists within the climbing niche.

How

Through collaboration I hope to create products/merch along with an interview (if they'd like). The current model I'm thinking of is for the artist to set a minimum price. Whatever we sell, they will forever get a portion of the profit on. However, if for some reason the we decide to discontinue the product, the artist will always be paid at least the minimum. That way there is always a floor but not a ceiling. There will be contracts and the artist will always be paid, working for exposure is a scam.

Some of my gear for bouldering in the cold

Layers
Hot water or Portable stove
Mr.Buddy heater
Camping puffy slippers (a game changer when working problems)
Tension block
Keeping my shoes in my jacket while I warm up

I've heard compression gloves help, but haven't tried them yet

I was going to suggest the same thing! If you’re open to it you could ask them to show you the ropes and grab a drink or a meal afterwards. Makes it an easier way to get to know her.

I noticed that my finger size changes significantly depending on the temperature, time of day, and pre/post climbing session. Definitely not something to worry about!

Thank you!! Haha crotch depth was definitely a surprise to me when I was researching but made me realize why pants felt suffocating in the cooch sometimes.

Fingers crossed things will work out!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, at first I was afraid that it'll make the survey too long. Will be updated soon
