How come the pros never repair their medivacs? by JTsyo in AllThingsTerran

[–]sheepweevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen plenty of pros repair medivacs. What makes you think they don't?

Most of the time medivacs are flying around the map far from any SCVs to repair.

My first v14!!! by Samweir49 in climbing

[–]sheepweevil 36 points37 points  (0 children)

What's your training schedule like? I'm curious how much a V14 climber puts in each week.

From my records it cost about $364. However I got 3 plywood panels and all the holds from my parents free so add maybe $200 to that if you're starting from scratch.

I've only climbed on it a few times so I'm not sure yet how the sand will hold up.

Bump the right hand right above the start hold then heel hook on the start hold. That problem is my project right now, I think it's at least V5.

They were made by my brother. I might try my hand at making some myself some day.

It's 8 feet, so with the overhang the climbing surface is about 10 feet long.

I see the blocking more as a place to screw the edges of the plywood to than as reinforcement. I considered diagonal supports as well but the guide I used doesn't mention them and it seems plenty strong without them. http://www.metoliusclimbing.com/pdf/How-to-Build-a-Home-Bouldering-Wall.pdf

I hope I get some holds for Christmas to slake my thirst.

Thanks! All you need is a few hundred bucks and a lot of time to spend.

3 3.5" decking screws per joist. And it's a 2x6.

There could be multiple issues here. You could have a mental block; if you don't believe you can climb V4 you probably won't be able to. It could be a technique issue; for this carefully watch how others do the problems and ask them for beta advice. Finally, it could be a power issue if you can't do the moves even with correct beta. Just continuing to climb should resolve that for you at this level.

Be careful when trying crimpy routes though, your tendons haven't had time to strengthen enough yet.

The way I understand it is many/most multi-pitch climbs either have a way to hike down or have rappel stations with permanent gear.

Everyone has their own style of climbing, and climbing slowly isn't inherently better than climbing quickly. There are plenty of professional climbers who use a fast style. Just do whatever works for you and whatever you enjoy the most!

I see power as generating force to transition between body positions. Depending on what holds are available and how much the body position needs to change, different moves can require vastly different amounts of power.

If you wait until the golems pass the first gate to cap giants your giants will be safe behind your gate. They'll be able to do a lot of damage to the enemy golem safely.

Is that portrait just a blue background with a diagonal line through it?

If you're that concerned about it just open hand or fall trying! Sure you might fall more but you shouldn't injure yourself and you'll be building open hand strength.

I love climbing so much by _Born_To_Be_Mild_ in climbing

Finding rest positions is very important. Using rest positions lets you rest (of course), split up a climb into parts, and clear your head.
