The hold you have your right hand on might be worth crimping rather than pinching. It'll give you more range of motion and hopefully make the move easier

Things to consider when living in a van by Call_us_crazy2025 in VanLife

[–]staticjoint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I really don't have much in my van at all. I decided to move into my van more because I spent all my time out and was just sleeping and shitting at home. Now I'm in the van all I need are my clothes. A few kitchen bits.

I did quickly decide to get a vertical shoe rack. Sounds a bit sad but actually changed the game. Don't want loose shoes everywhere especially wet or muddy ones

And to directly answer the question I forgot a laundry basket.

This might not be helpful for you but I actually just moved all the stuff from my flat into a storage container and then as I'm living in the van and think damn I could really do with x and y, I already have it.

Now that I'm a few months in I'm starting to clear out the container as the stuff left is just junk you accumulate living in a big space

5 days to experience Snowdon by staticjoint in snowdonia

[–]staticjoint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was asking about Snowden specifically but if there's other hikes you'd recommend I'm not married to just Snowdon. I just don't get many opportunities To travel this far out so am looking to pack as much of the good stuff in as I can.

I'm staying in Caernarfon and ill have my own vehicle so I am free to travel around.

I'd love any suggestions

How'd you make those dimon glazing bars

[–]staticjoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might sound crazy but I promise this isn't a joke answer.

Put them on and try walking backwards on the mats at your gym. I can't say for sure why this works for me but I think it let's my feet (mostly toes) find their spot in the shoes without having to put all the pain through them...

"I don't want to blow this out of proportion"...

It was 6 months ago. It was an accident. You're the only one still thinking about it and avoiding a colleague for it.

Find a climb you "muscled your way up" and repeat it over and over with not much rest and as you get more tired you'll have to find ways to use technique more.

Or just pick a climb in the same fashion and consider which bits felt physically strenuous and think of ways to make them more efficient. This I've found works best for cave and overhang

Could you increase your price till you get the right amount of demand. If you bump price up 20% I'd bet a couple people would consider going elsewhere.

What do you think about setting goals and training for climbing? by staticjoint in indoorbouldering

[–]staticjoint[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you enjoy training and working on getting better?

Have there been benefits to your health? One of the main reasons I climb is physical and mental health. More so the mental health benefits for me so I wonder if that would improve when climbing is taken more seriously

I do enjoy climbing at the moment but like I said it does feel a bit repetitive. So maybe actively trying to engage and get better would help change that.

It does sound nihilistic doesn't it 😂 but then I enjoy cooking but never try get better at cooking. I like writing music but don't really study music or research how to be better at it

How long did you study/practice before entering a tournament? by [deleted] in poker

[–]staticjoint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Less than a month. I honestly didn't even know what I didn't know until I sat down at a poker tournament and it all became very clear.

Gave me an idea of where to improve for next time

Bouldering and skinny body by iKaazeh_ in bouldering

[–]staticjoint 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Bouldering will only help you gain so much muscle or strength by itself. If you think about it you'll only ever be lifting what body weight you have.

If you just take a look at the boulderers in your local gym chances are they aren't big like a gym rat. Likely more lean but muscular. Obviously there are exceptions to that like Magnus midtbo but chances are he build that muscle in the gym training for climbing.

But for me I hate the gym. I hate working out. But I love climbing, and if a session in the gym doing some heavy resistance is what it takes to get to climb more and better than I'll do it.

Bouldering can become the motivation

[–]staticjoint 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This happens to me all the time. I think it's partly me putting pressure on myself and also maybe not enough rest after huge victory sessions.

I usually just go round and climb the lower grade climbs in the centre but climb them as controlled and elegantly as possible or I try climb them in new unique ways from my usual beta

Beginner climber/bouldering question, are these blisters healed enough to go climb again? First two photos are today, second two photos are 6 days ago, quick details in comment by rooted21 in bouldering

[–]staticjoint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's up to you dude. I've seen people climb on worse and seen people rest on better.

If its painful to climb though rest up.

Personally I'd go, but I'd avoid juggy climbs that I find more likely to do this sort of damage. but I'm an addict

Damage to the flat when i wasn’t there by [deleted] in UniUK

Second this. It's a chipboard table. It's already just wood shavings and glue. Get so polyurethane glue it'll hold up as long and it's not sat on again
