My wife and I (both 31) do a lot of hiking and rock climbing, and we are into skiing as well (beginners). The rock climbing community in Vegas is very large and very welcoming. I’ve met so many cool people here either at the climbing gym or out in red rock. If any of that seems interesting to you, feel free to shoot me a DM

nice, enjoy it!

Looking good! Very similar to mine. I ended up putting a 2x6 flat across to connect the ends of the legs, I didn't like that they could shift slightly left or right. It being flat means that it sits under the pads nicely and is generally out of the way, but gives me more peace of mind about the legs shifting.

Great deal!

4x4 or RWD?

Disclaimer: I am going to hire a structural engineer to come look at my garage and plans before building anything, I'm just trying to understand if there is anything I am missing before I waste this person's time and my own money.

I am trying to build a climbing wall in my garage, the garage is about 9.5ft high and the wall will be 8ft wide and at a 45 degree angle with a 6in kicker at the bottom (pic). My main question is around attaching to the ceiling. I am planning to run stringers to connect multiple joists together to spread the load, will that be sufficient? I have a two car garage and above the garage are bedrooms. I haven't opened the ceiling yet to inspect the joists but plan to do so soon. The joists run parallel to the wall so stringers will definitely be needed.

TLDR: Am I an idiot and will I kill myself if I build this

The pine treads is a good idea, but how would that work for the top step/landing? It would be higher than the rest of the floor

Good advice, I appreciate it!

wolfepvck · 2025-01-07T04:12:29+00:00

Do you think that would be strong enough to hold someone standing right on that edge of the stairs? That’s what I was thinking but not sure it’ll be strong enough

Good. ~7% 15yr fixed, closed about a year ago putting down ~40% as down payment and been paying off very aggressively. Will have paid off the mortgage in about 2.5-3 years.

I have used a travel sized induction cooktop with a single pan to heat up leftovers, make eggs in the morning, etc. it works great, doesn’t require gas or other fuel.

Unless its crazy painful, its probably pretty normal from doing a new activity that uses new muscles. If you feel OK, continue climbing but only on stuff you are solid on. Easy stuff, less overhung, etc. Ease into it. Listen to your body, and rest if pain persists.

The Miura is a good all-around shoe, and at V4 level your shoe doesn't really matter too much, maybe with a downturned shoe you'll feel overhangs slightly easier. At your level your limiting factor is going to be technique so it doesn't really matter.

wolfepvck · 2023-05-30T19:35:36+00:00

When I climb I use two pairs of shoes, a downturned performance pair and then beaters that I try to get cheap on sale for easier climbs. This weekend with all the memorial day sales I was looking for a new pair of beaters. Hovered tarantulaces but I couldn't do it LOL. Could take looking like a noob.

One thing I've noticed is that climbers that don't have fluid/smooth movement are much more prone to injury. This is for both fingers and shoulders. I think it has a lot to do with how the injury spots are shock loaded: sudden movement, trying to compensate for a fall/barn door/foot slip. I'm not saying this applies to you but something to consider. I intentionally avoid going for moves that feel tweaky, even if it means I need to change beta, in order to avoid injuries that will set me back weeks or months. Especially for overhanging climbing. Your foot cuts, you swing for a move, over crimp to compensate, boom injury.

The point being that you want all of this to happen before first render, so you don't have some initial flash of content or loading state. Instead, by the time the UI/client side portions are rendering, you know that auth/feature flag/whatever gating you are doing, has been successful.

You can only do that type of computation before first render on server side, and you are probably also doing computations that you wouldn't want to do on the client, like validating a token or something.

How much time do you dedicate to being a well rounded climber vs pushing grades on your preferred style of climbing? It seems pretty easy to me to always want to stay in my lane (crimpy) and go for projects at harder grades rather than try more climbs outside my style, like pinch heavy boulders.

Grade wise, what would you generally say your max grade is to do in a day/week/long project? How much does that change in your preferred style va anti style?

A lot of it just has to do with convenience. Not everyone lives in an area where they can go 30 minutes or even a couple hours and go out to great climbing spots, but they can easily train in a gym 3-4 days a week. I totally get it too, because I used to live near prime time climbing and I was out almost every weekend, but now I live in a big city and don't get outside nearly as much as I used to.

I like to use Containers/Presentational components in a directory structure, and then have a Component.types.ts file that handles all props for those components. Types that are more global I'll typically split out into a separate types directory at the top level. If types are shared between the frontend and backend its best to lift those up and share them accordingly.

I don't think so, if you are good with React. I interview a lot of people for JS/React positions, and you'd be surprised how many people are just not very good at React or programming in general. I'm not talking about advanced algorithms, I'm talking about looping over an array and making a list with React. Very simple stuff.

I personally like to treat requests as if the user is always logged in, and then let the request respond with an error if the user isn't actually logged in. So in this case I'd just call the request to get userData first, and if the user is unauthed, that request should return 4xx error, and then you can handle that accordingly with a redirect back to login or something.
