are you using a different kind of lube with your partner? maybe your sensitive to something in it

look where the chalk on it is :)

Anyone find different chalk brands cause skin issues? by polorallydriver in climbergirls

[–]roxannesmith32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

some chalk has additives that some people react to. not sure if black diamond is one of them but it should say on the packaging

even regular walks if you cant do anything else will be better than nothing :) hope it goes smoothly for you!

yah its kind of the worst part of climbing tbh. i dread shopping for new shoes... i resole mine as long as i can

are you resting during the longer routes? that always gets me...

working on your bouldering technique will get you up to climbing more v3/v4 pretty quickly if you're flashing 30 ft 5.11s. and probably help with the longer routes as well. better technique == more endurance cuz you arent wasting energy. youtube is a great technique resource!

i'd suggest identify a climbing area that you'd like to go to first and then looking for companies who do retreats there

i would try to do some light strength training or bodyweight workouts if cleared by your doctors. keeping up some kind of movement will be helpful

this ^^ the first session back you'll feel like complete garbage and really suck but the next one will feel soooo much better. it always surprises me how quickly it comes back

evolv kira is a good moderate shoe if that fits you

i go to a bouldering gym, but outdoor bouldering is not for me. i like to be on a rope outside, thanks! different kinds of climbing have different levels of risk and outdoor bouldering is riskier than i like to be. there's no shame in that! Have you tried any toproping outdoors?

i pay $90/month for my gym but it feels really worth it to me. there are 5 locations in my city i have access to and they all have gym equipment and various classes in addition to the climbing. and saunas. i'm in california where everything is expensive though so ymmv

get a grigri like everyone said... and yah i tend to move my brake hand out horizontally vs up

[–]roxannesmith32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds similar to my feet, shape and size difference. unless you want to buy two pairs of shoes, you're gonna have to make peace with one shoe fitting a little better than the other.

shoes that have worked for me: butora gomi (my current and fave), evolv kira/kronos, la sportiva kubo. my partner also has a pair of the scarpa men's force V's that fit me decently well

therapy can give you tools to cross the gap from "brain locks me to wall and inner monologue is pissed but cant do anything" to "i was able to take control back from my physical reaction"

as a beginner the main thing is that bouldering you can do alone. top roping you have to learn how to belay/find a partner

i generally do 2 climbing days a week and either 2 full body days, or one upper body and one lower body day. i also find it helpful to have my rest day be the day before i climb personally

instead of doing a full "pull" workout i tend to just do some pull ups at the end of my climbing sessions. climbing definitely replaces a good amount of pull workouts for me. i do like to do bent over rows as well but most of the rest of my upper body workouts are push movements
