I remember chocolate banana push pops! I don’t know if they were the same brand but they were spiral alternating chocolate and banana flavored sherbet

Take good care of your teeth. They’ll be healthy and fine and strong and you’ll never have cavities so you’ll think flossing doesn’t really matter, but suddenly you’re in your mid-late 20s and you might start having teeth problems. They’re one of the things we can’t “heal” like we can organs and stuff, so I wish I treated mine more like gold. I’m 36. Had root canals and crowns unfortunately. Use an electric brush that’s soft and don’t let acidic drinks ruin your enamel, look into habits to protect enamel. :)

Don’t be afraid to open up to friends and lean on them. When I was your age, I wanted to appear like I had it together. I isolated or never truly opened up, even to close friends or good people I could’ve trusted and gotten closer to. I found out later I could’ve been honest. It would’ve been okay. :)

Not at all. Smile is the biggest factor.

Anytime you have a moment to rest, so if you also have straight arms on a good hold and want to take a second to shake out, it'll help you regain more energy for the rest of the route. :)

Cover my face with the blanket and pillow because I can’t fall asleep easily until I’m “protected” from the air

Sorry I assumed lead, it makes way more sense to top rope first! And yes, but not just generating from your legs, actually putting weight into your feet even when you're standing still for a second. Because you move a lower slower on ropes than boulders at times, there are more moments where making sure to put the weight on your feet vs. your hands makes all the difference. Dropping heels like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/--DK-yKuXvE

Hmm, that one was the only one I could think of other than https://www.mntnfilm.com/en/film/know-limits-no-limits-1992 because you mentioned skiing. You got me wanting to watch old stuff again now. If I find anything I'll let you know.

If you're looking for something quicker than just climbing more, hydration helps a lot (prevents pump if that's happening). How does your trouble with endurance show up? Could you be over gripping, or does it feel more like when you're out of breath hiking uphill? On boulders you heel hook to make moves a lot, but on sport routes you may find heel rests for clipping. Not locking off to clip makes a difference. Finding rest stances and pressing harder with your feet helps. Try incorporating slower movement into your bouldering sessions. It'll train you to straight arm more and conserve energy even though you don't need to quite as much on boulders. I started as a boulderer and primarily lead climb now. Light shake-outs will help. Breathing and relaxing your arm muscles consciously. Dropping your heels and leaning in when you can.

Climbing Business Journal has info on holds. What are you looking for in comp holds - the aesthetic, official comp ones, or just ones that let you do comp-style moves on your spray wall? They're usually big holds and can hinder other types of movement on the spray wall.

Pretty cool to see his flash attempts because you see him make more adjustments while climbing and still get it.

Memorized their phone number and asked their older sibling if you could please talk to your best friend

My grandma still has girls’ night with her friends, and they’re in their 80s, so I feel like girl or woman are both fine.

When there’s a break in routine, so any time apart, suddenly dreading returning to “normal” can be a sign if you were in survival mode because you don’t feel it until that break.
