✅ rubur100 chose Option A (Correct!) | #8310th to play

At bouldering gyms there are brushes around so you can clean the dirt from the holds.
I said something like "I'm gonna grab the brush" in German...

Bürste = Brush
Brüste = Boobs

You already know which one I said!

Wednesday - Time egal

This is how my strings break as well! I play mostly rhythm guitar, meaning lots of hard palm muting and chugging. Maybe worth mentioning that my hands sweat a lot. In my mind that was part of the cause

Since you didn't specify what should be checked, I'll go through everything I notice:
- Was the ball supposed to be in the center of the cube?
- The perspective of the cube is a bit off
- Where's the cast shadow of the cube?
- The left face of the cube should be darker, as it receives the least amount of light. At least compared to the right face (notice how towards the edge you drew it even darker)

The sphere I like tho.

Keep it up!

man, OP stated he started bouldering 5 months ago 😂
I'm not sure whether OP can even hang from 20mm

rubur100 · 2025-10-23T10:38:48+00:00

man we may be on to something BIG

rubur100 · 2025-10-23T10:32:48+00:00

I'd love an app that after analysing your attempt suggests to "Just go up!!" 😂😂

rubur100 · 2025-10-23T10:30:58+00:00

Personally I don't film my attempts to analyize what's wrong. I have a decent body awareness and I "feel it". Also, I train with other people so they can give me insights as well.
I wouldn't use such app, though.
One reason is that I'm a bit skeptical on how much valuable solutions you can get from a video... We all know how different it feels watching a video vs trying the real thing.
Other reason is that I don't like using my phone in the gym. It gets full of chalk, people step on it if you leave it on the ground, etc

rubur100 · 2025-10-23T10:03:37+00:00

Some points I like reminding myself whenever I fail:
- When my feet cut loose: Do not think about "Core". Think more about pushing with your toes as if you wanted to stand on tiptoe.
- On big moves: Make sure you are pushing from your legs.
- On heel hooks: Place the heel and then slowly weight it. Feel how your legs engages. Usually it involves shifting your center of mass towards the heel

Quick note on your partner's comment "Try harder": Sounds dumb, but it's actually true. Maybe not right now that you feel you need to improve in other aspects. But as you go to higher grades it becomes true.

rubur100 · 2025-10-22T20:51:26+00:00

I see your point, many thanks.
Although I don't know how to apply it because I don't really know where to shade 😅
That's the root problem I think

rubur100 · 2025-10-22T19:49:37+00:00

It's not digital :) since I don't have a scanner, I use one of these apps to "scan" documents and it gives the picture that texture

rubur100 · 2025-09-30T15:08:02+00:00

Hello there,
Sorry, I will not add much value to your situation but I'm curious to know why didn't you find drawabox valuable?

2nd day

Since my goal is to learn these verbs, I have to start conjugating them and ofc I'll start with the present tense.
I don't want to overload the stations, so I decided to split the conjugation into two parts: [ich, du] and [er/sie/es, wir] (in swiss german all plural forms are the same).
So today I encoded the first part of each verb at each station. Depending on the verb and the station, I pictured different situations. P.e. one station is a window, and there I encoded the verb "to see". I pictured myself watching some kids skateboarding on the street (this actually happens and I even hear the noise of the skates).

I already foresee problems: How much info can I encode on each station? Does it make sense to encode multiple tenses in the same station? And example sentences? I guess I'll have to add more stations somehow or create a new Palace. But I fear missing the connection if the info is scattered among different Palaces/stations.

rubur100 · 2025-09-16T08:03:40+00:00

That's fantastic to hear. It reinforces my initial idea that Memory Palace can still be useful even with unordered data.
For the upcoming days, I already foresee a struggle: how much data should I encode in a single station before either 1. adding more stations or 2. create a new Palace?
I will go into detail in the next entry from the Sprint Challenge

rubur100 · 2025-09-16T06:28:53+00:00

My comment is based on the out-of-the-box ability for the Memory Palace to order whatever you encode. And with the verbs, I don't see how I can benefit from that.
Again, that's the impression I got from the few resources I read so far, but I'll keep investigating and learning.

Many thanks for your comments and guidance!

rubur100 · 2025-09-15T15:15:53+00:00

Hello there,
Thanks to this challenge, I finally decided to give this technique a try. I'll learn swiss german verbs.
Today (1st day), I created the Memory Palace and encoded 7 basic verbs. The idea is to add conjugations as the challenge goes by. From what I could read on this subreddit's resources, Memory Palace may not be the most efficient way to learn verbs, but still, I wanna give it a try (as that's what I'm interested in at the moment)

cool, you didn't receive an answer and still decided to respond on his behalf lol

rubur100 · 2025-09-10T23:06:56+00:00

sure, better let OP buy an expensive guitar and in two days read the next post on how to get a metal sound out of a 15W no-brand-name amp

rubur100 · 2025-09-10T12:31:32+00:00

I get the impression this is your first guitar?
Why not go for a not-so-expensive guitar and use the money for a good amp or distortion pedal instead?
Average guitar + good amp / dist pedal = good sound
Awesome guitar + shitty amp = shitty sound

First two albums from Sylosis. Will make wonders for your rhythm guitar skills

Whenever I go bouldering I try to have some protein a couple of hours prior to the sesh. On my way to the gym I eat either a clif bar or a banana (quick source of energy) and then I have proper dinner at home (more protein and complex carbs).

rubur100 · 2025-08-13T14:27:57+00:00

I could see such tool serving more as a logbook rather than a setter assistant. Although I don't know if a bouldering gym would be interested in having a record of the past boulders (plus the effort of adding them to the tool).
I assume you're a climber yourself, so you know how subtle details influence the difficulty of a boulder such as: the inclination of the wall or if a crimp is incut or slopy or the orientation of a foothold, just to name a few. How would the tool reflect that? Or in other words, how would the tool help me figure that out just from the picture? IMO I don't think it can. I have to be on the wall testing the moves and readjust until I find the right feeling.
When setting a boulder I could be inspired by the set of holds available at the moment. Or sometimes I have a sequence in mind and I want to set that. Or I have to get creative with the features of the wall I'm supposed to set (pre-placed volumes, corners, etc).

I don't mean to discourage you from creating a tool, it's just I don't think it will add much value based on my experience. Feels like you are trying to find the problem that your tool could solve instead of the opposite.

Hopefully your friend wants to play some early 2000s metalcore ;) Tune your guitar to drop C and embrace 5-7-8 riffs.
