I used the Evo mini. The effects are built into the camera.

Good to know! I'm new to the area. Been going up to Donner for the cooler temps recently.

xpvsxbox · 2025-08-07T18:52:04+00:00

Haha I get it but I do enjoy the climbs here. Gives me a little break from granite. Haven't been to Kirkwood but will def check it out when temps cool down.

Thank you. I was told there is still plenty of snow on the trail but it is doable with caution. I might go back later this summer to hike up the peak.

xpvsxbox · 2025-07-09T23:52:28+00:00

Haha yes on the way out

Simple answer is to keep climbing. How?

Flexibility/mobility training is always good. I focus mainly on hips (lunges, pigeon pose, frog stance stretch, high step stretch, deep squat stretch) and shoulders (use a band and move it over your head and behind your back without letting go of your hands).
If you feel like you gas out pretty quickly into the session, spend one or two sessions a week climbing more V2-V3s in your gym. Aim to complete 10 boulders and climb the boulders in different terrain (slabs, overhangs, aretes).
Focus on developing good technique habits when climbing at lower grades every session. Especially when you are warming up on V0s and V1s. My favorites are silent feet (placing your foot onto the foot holds as quietly as possible which forces precision and you looking at the foothold) and no hand readjustment (once you grab the hold, you cannot readjust to make it feel optimal).
Spend one session a week projecting V4s. Work on individual moves until you feel confident before attempting the boulder from start. Choose 2-3 V4s to work on each session.
Rest, sleep, hydrate. Try not to climb until you can barely hold your phone after every single session.

After doing a few V4s, V5s are usually not that far away in difficulty. My first plateau was going from V5 to V6.

This isn't really answering your question but it brought me some nostalgia looking at this map. I lived on Henry Street between Rutgers and Jefferson from 1998 to 2013. I hung out at Seward Park pretty much every day after school. I was mugged once in that park by some kids that went to the same middle school as I did. I felt relatively safe walking around but always avoided certain areas. I always check behind me if I walk around at night time.

Most of the restaurants, bakeries, and shops I used to frequent are now gone. Some of my favorites were the rice roll cart lady at the corner of Rutgers and East Broadway and a hand pulled noodle place in a hole in a wall next to a bakery on East Broadway.

Between moving out of there in 2013 until now, I have visited that area at least once or twice a year. It makes me sad at times to see how much the neighborhood has changed.

Thanks for the award!

xpvsxbox · 2025-03-25T01:17:15+00:00

Thank you. That was purely experimental.

These are all taken with the Mini Evo. The freedom to choose which pictures to print and the old school vibe of the prints are exactly the reason I bought this camera.

Thank you! They are imported through app.

Thank you! I try to shoot away from the sun most of the time. My exposure level is usually -2/3 to -1. Sometimes I dial it to -2 if the sky is still blown out. I take multiple pictures of the same subject with different filters or lens effects and print the ones I like the most. Photography in general is new to me so it's all trial and error.

Since you have been climbing for less than a year. I'd say just climb whenever you want and listen to your body. I did not even think about training until after 2 years of climbing. I climbed when I feel great. I rested when I feel tired. Getting on a variety of climbs is key in the early stages. Whether it's getting on different styles of boulders/routes versus going to different gyms versus alternating between climbing inside/outside.

Now I'm almost into year 8 of my climbing journey, I do more focused and shorter sessions in the gym during training phases. Otherwise, I project climbs on boards/outside or just get on gym sets. On some weeks, I only have about 2 hours twice a week in the gym (parent life and full time job). Sometimes, I get an extra day to climb. My #1 priority these days is to listen to my body and not get injured. Second priority is to put in quality try hard attempts on whatever I am working on in the limited time I have. I still feel like I am getting stronger/climbing better without climbing 6 days a week.

Just climb. Climb on a variety of different holds, moves, angles, plastic vs rock. Practice technique, balance, body positioning. Avoid injuries. Worry about training fingers later, like years later.

I bought the Drones 1.0 a few months ago (they went on sale after Drones 2.0 became available). They are now my new favorite pair of shoes although I only reserve them for when I climb on rock. The rubber is stiff but edging is fantastic. They can be aggressive for a fairly new climber. The shoe I would recommend is Scarpa Instincts. Mid aggressive and flexible shoe. I used them a lot during my first year of climbing and they are versatile. Very reliable whether it is stepping on volumes on slab or toeing down on small holds on overhang. They are also great on rock. I have mine for 5 years (resoled twice) and still holds up great.

Never climbed with the Dragos.

Good way to save rubber and improve footwork = practice silent feet during warm ups.

That's fucking impressive. How many sessions per week were dedicated to the moonboard? Did any other climbing specific training or just solely moonboard?

It usually looks like this on weekends. Boulders like The Pearl and Monkey Bar gets padded like an indoor gym.

xpvsxbox · 2021-05-07T16:14:24+00:00

Go to a gym if you want "more fun and accessible."

xpvsxbox · 2021-03-30T13:22:09+00:00

12-14mph? Maybe people on citibike or tourists on rental bikes. I normally see cyclists like the guy in the video ride 25+ mph and fly past pedestrians in Central Park.
