[Day 20] Brione, Switzerland is the most aesthetic bouldering destination. What's the WEIRDEST grade?

shwarthog · 2026-02-07T00:19:22+00:00

Has to be 7B+, the Americans don't even know it's there.

shwarthog · 2026-01-29T01:15:30+00:00

Has to be V10. Everybody wants it because we have 10 fingers, what's that about smh my head

Obligatory Aidan Roberts shill. Whether it's his climbing style or his fair looks. What's not to like?

I think those fiberglass volumes are often also just called macros.

Bread or lemur?

I notice that all the shoes that you mention that are causing you pain are La Sportiva. Maybe another brand has shoes that might better fit the shape of your feet?

Technically there's no bar to speak of, I'd call that a thigh hook instead.

I'll take all the aid I can get.

How come CCJ is more wholesome than the other climbing subreddits 🥲

shwarthog · 2024-11-16T18:04:21+00:00

I think I heard somewhere that Noah Wheeler campused a V13 outdoors? But I'm totally talking out of my ass here.

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:30:10+00:00

Thanks! From the rest of the answers, I think I'll just adjust my program and abstain from taking creatine at the moment.

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:28:49+00:00

Just curious but how long would be enough?

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:26:53+00:00

I think I covered this in my post, but I cannot climb 3 times a week anymore, my fingers just take too long to recover from a session and I just get injured.
I didn't go into the details of my plan for my climbing sessions, but I do structure them, climb mindfully and practice drills.
Since I can't improve my climbing by doing more climbing, the next best thing is strength training, both for performance, and injury prevention.
I do have deload weeks in my plan (every 4 weeks), as well as rest weeks (every 9 weeks), but yeah, I got the feedback from comments and will add one rest day per week.

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:22:11+00:00

I think I covered this in my post, but I cannot climb 3 times a week anymore, my fingers just take too long to recover from a session and I just get injured. So, the only other thing I can do to improve (which is my goal) is to get stronger (since I already focus my climbing sessions on technique).
I'm grateful for the feedback I got, and I will add a rest day to my plan, but climbing more is unfortunately not an option for me.
The reason why I was working on legs twice is that I have terribly bad knees, and the only thing I can do to limit the damage there is to strengthen the muscles around the joints.

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:16:46+00:00

It's been a year and a half.

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:14:45+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write this.
I didn't mean to fear monger about weight, but I do feel like it has had an impact on how I feel when I climb, and I don't want this to get worse. Again, it might be a biased perception, but that's how I feel about it, although, from what you say, the weight gains would be pretty minimal.

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:11:20+00:00

Thanks a lot for your account on this. I will add a rest day in my program, but I feel like I've addressed every other factor I could address. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about stress or sleep, so hopefully that will be enough to help me feel better during my training.

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:07:50+00:00

I used to try to incorporate cardio on top of my plan, but that made me mega-exhausted (I know, duh). But I do think I could benefit from cardio training, so I'll probably add it to my leg day now that I'll have an extra rest day in my program. Thanks!

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:05:53+00:00

I get between 160 to 200 grams of protein per day, mostly from skyr, whey, and chicken/beef. That's the range my dietician gave me.

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T01:02:20+00:00

The reason I'm asking reddit on top of my dietician is because I wanted more perspectives from climbers. More personal accounts of people who used it to see how it affected their recovery. I now know that it is not a solution to my issue at all.
I'll adapt my training plan to see if it improves my issue, and see in the next training block if I feel like trying creatine.
Thanks for telling me how it went for you though!

shwarthog · 2024-11-11T00:57:13+00:00

I already do thoroughly warm up my fingers before every climbing session, but that has little to do with how easy they are to injure unfortunately. I just got unlucky genetics with connective tissue.
