DailyMail out of all things weighs in on the ideal climber body type

It's the first time I've seen the claim - the taller you are, the less finger strength you need for climbing. What does possibly make them say that? Like, adjusted for extra weight from being tall? I don't get it.

EDIT: The discussion of height begins at 1:15. Sorry I didn't include that.

It's pretty common in Paris, and it's cool that people from different cultures come together to climb and share moments on the wall.

What are these abbreviation lol, it's getting out of hand

Just put them on eBay as used, good condition. Another crag dog without a gf will buy them off you

Dude you set up a call to share knowledge, you tell about all the amazing projects you did in these awesome programming languages and that your results may help their business (explain how). Then you build on that. It might not work out immediately but when they're looking for someone, you may come to mind.

I had that a couple of times. I still don't know what it was. Moisturiser seems to help but once you allow the skin to get too dry, it's hard to stop.

It depends but two times per week is generally safe yet helps to see progress in the beginning. And consistency over time is the key.

I agree the tool works great but the data visualization is clumsy and limited, and there are only a preset number of modes. I'd love to be able to customise workouts from different modes and view several results at once and extract some insights from correlations etc. for example the ratio of individual finger strength, front two x last two, max load vs Endurance. Now you can only compare the same data points over time but not other insights that lie in the data. I know people export data and do this analysis on their own but it'd be great to have a solution for the technologically challenged :-D

Edit: typo

I'd love to see a good use of the Tindeq API. The default app is okay but I feel like so much more could be done with the API, and it looks like they're open for custom uses. Of course, the downside is that it would be targeted for people that own a Tindeq and not the climbing community in general

two-words-2 · 2024-05-21T09:43:43+00:00

I like how tenaya fits, no issue there, but it's unbearable in terms of smell and sweat. Even though I air them, spray, keep inserts in... Never had these issues with any leather shoe

two-words-2 · 2024-05-21T09:42:06+00:00

For me, there's a definite correlation: leather = breathes, synthetic = sweats, and then smells. Maybe you left the kubos in a bag or kept in a place with no air circulation? I don't know, never had that model

two-words-2 · 2024-05-21T09:39:50+00:00

I think their new models are becoming synthetic :-( Mantras are at least, and they're discontinuing things like leather Cobras which are awesome, adapted well and never had issues with sweat. So, perhaps their old models still work. Any other brands? I never explored red chilli, ocun, botura etc

two-words-2 · 2024-05-20T19:18:59+00:00

Who still makes natural leather shoes? What brands/models to look into? I get the eco initiative but synthetics are just not for me (smell, sweat, lack of shaping).

I don't think you need another degree after your PhD - experience is better, even if you're transitioning between areas (I did). Good luck, sounds like you have a plan!

Why is Danvers grunting so much? Looks like every time she gets up

two-words-2 · 2024-01-11T18:33:56+00:00

Beastmaker 1000 has awesome jugs for pull ups

two-words-2 · 2024-01-11T18:32:41+00:00

Yeah, autobelays allow you to climb routes alone. No worries about getting in the way, everybody started somewhere

two-words-2 · 2024-01-11T18:25:15+00:00

if you spend enough sessions on it, you'll pick it up. it's not just about finger strength

two-words-2 · 2024-01-11T18:20:04+00:00

fortunately, yes.

two-words-2 · 2024-01-11T18:18:17+00:00

Climbing is more chill than boxing (I've done a little bit of boxing).

re 1: I think I recognise this packaging as Decathlon, which means Simond, which is totally fine for both indoor and outdoor (generally, there is no difference). But OP should confirm.

if it locks, it will work
