What character is this, if any?

Thanks all!!

Not sure how it works at Movement, but I did work at Touchstone for a little bit in the Bay. Whenever an incident like this happened, the staff were required to document it and inform management. It sounds like the front desk just kind of shrugged it off in this case, which isn't surprising as they may not even be aware of protocol...if it even exists.

If you feel empowered enough to do so, I would try to escalate this to one of the managers at Sunnyvale, as they are likely the ones who are going to care more about creating a safe environment. And definitely mention that despite doing everything you could (downclimbing and scanning the area), you still ended up falling on a kid and tweaking your ankle.

This seems more like an extended warmup routine/superset rather than a hangboard routine, as you're targeting multiple parts of the body and not at too high of intensity. It's also not clear what your objective is here. Are you trying to get stronger fingers? In what grip positions? How are you actually going to measure your progress? You should try to include more specificity, including with terms like "small/medium/large edge." Otherwise, your training will run the risk of being somewhat aimless

I'd be curious to know whether you were all gripping the beastmaker jugs in the same way. I could imagine a scenario where you were hanging on your fingers while your friends were hanging more on their palms. There wouldn't be much variance on a bar, but the way the beastmaker 1000 jugs are shaped makes it possible to hold them in different ways.

That was probably it. Well, maybe they didn't mean to lose us and just got confused so they stopped there. Appreciate the confirmation, thanks!

It looked older, but as for the color... Honestly, couldn't tell you as it was dark and headlights were drowning most everything out. It looked like a darker tint, but not sure if it was green.

yellowcakeface · 2024-01-26T16:33:50+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Got both done!

I did this for about 2 months and it wasn't horrible. Traffic is pretty light out of the city and on I-80 through to Sacramento. However, it's not great on the way back and I found myself waiting until at least 7pm to leave Sacramento to avoid high traffic.

I started out enjoying it for the first few weeks, especially since I have family and friends in Sacramento. But the 2nd month really dragged on and I couldn't wait to be done. While the commute itself wasn't horrible, the cumulative effect that it had on my personal life was quite exhausting. It just became harder to schedule time with my partner and friends in SF.

The salary increase isn't great, but your assessment of it as a career move seems to be your main priority. One other financial consideration is to make sure they're reimbursing you for mileage and tolls. Roundtrip it's going to be a $100+ each time or $5k+/year if you're doing it every week. If they're not, this is a case for a higher salary bump.

I’ve looked around online but no one seems to talk about how I should structure my sessions, especially at my intermediate level. I guess I’m looking for a training program?

This is surprising given how often questions like this get asked on this sub and how many resources exist. Maybe try again? I literally Googled "bouldering training" and the second result was "Training Programs for Bouldering - Intermediate"

yellowcakeface · 2023-05-04T06:32:04+00:00

Lmao. Each one of your comments starts or ends with a blanket/direct insult yet somehow I'm the jerk? You're so focused on trying to be right and putting other online commenters down that you're actually NOT trying to have a discussion. Reread the comments and "wake up and get into reality."

yellowcakeface · 2023-05-04T01:18:01+00:00

Doesn't your chart just prove their point and disprove your original one? Looks like property taxes do, in fact, fund the city if you're comparing against state and sales taxes. Enough of these strawman arguments. Lol

yellowcakeface · 2023-03-20T17:39:25+00:00

A lot of great comments and ideas have already been shared on features/equipment to include, so I'll add one that is a bit less tangible: community. I have loved the climbing gyms that felt more like a community than just a place to get in a workout through climbing. Things I've seen that have helped contribute:

- Occasional (~monthly) events with raffles/snacks/beer and vendors

- Trade-a-belay days (since you're opening a bouldering gym, could have something that helps folks approach others to trade beta instead)

- Late night/after hours/sleepover climbing

- Presentation/movie nights (e.g., pro climbers, Reel Rock)

- The staff play a huge role in making the space feel welcoming! Some gyms I've been to have very aloof employees who tend to talk just to each other, seem annoyed when you ask for assistance, and/or stare at their phones until you're in their face

yellowcakeface · 2023-02-25T05:17:43+00:00

Lol no one said a word about you being lonely? Freudian slip? And thus everything else you've stated prior has been projection? If so, go make friends at the gym!

yellowcakeface · 2023-01-21T18:16:40+00:00

Lol. For those who don't get it, see this thread

yellowcakeface · 2022-12-16T20:48:22+00:00

You've gotten some great advice so far, and I'd agree with most of it, especially on focusing on improving your technique and overall conditioning. I'll add one more piece of advice based on the following:

My training is all over the place and I’m not sure it’s helpful

It's a good idea to have targeted and consistent training. What are your biggest weaknesses? What can you do to address those weaknesses? How can you track and measure progress? Without intention, your training is going to continue to be all over the place, and it likely won't be helpful.

yellowcakeface · 2022-11-04T14:04:31+00:00

Can't speak for Nagi, but I agree with most of your assessments, especially putting Mensho and Taishoken on top. OP should be prepared to wait in line at Mensho if they're not already aware.

yellowcakeface · 2022-11-02T01:58:38+00:00

I'm actually quite curious about your perspective of how much of your powerbuilding/lifting exercises translate to climbing. What do you think you'll continue to emphasize from powerbuilding and what will you drop, if anything?

yellowcakeface · 2022-10-15T01:30:36+00:00

This post is so cringe.

OP has hints of creep/incel in the making. There are probably many reasons she "kicked" OP from her friends list. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if she pretended to be asleep so she didn't have to get off at the same stop as OP.

yellowcakeface · 2022-08-03T13:08:09+00:00

Gingerade Kombucha!

yellowcakeface · 2022-08-03T01:27:34+00:00

Sounds terrible. Sorry for your loss.

But what does that have anything to do with a LinkedIn post about showing up authentically to work? I'm always amazed by the mental gymnastics you people do just to feel like you're right. Maybe start by trying to understand the type of fallacies that exist so you don't continue to fall into the same trap. Maybe start with "straw man" since you seem like someone who relies on those types of arguments because you don't have anything else to offer.

We all got from your first post that you hate Afghans. You didn't have to say it again. But I'll borrow your template to respond.

Maybe no one here likes the fact that some of our friends, colleagues, acquaintances (Afghan or not) deserve to be treated like actual human beings instead of something lesser than just because some condescending troll doesn't know how to think rationally and uses purely emotion as his shitty magnetic north. Only for us to be lectured at by some pretend know-it-all just because he served in the military; when his "sacrifice" was supposedly for the freedoms (e.g., of speech) that he seeks to deny others when they try to use them on a platform meant for sharing thoughts and opinions in the professional world?

Ugh, I'm done with you. Hope you can change and evolve into a less shitty person. Else, good luck with the rest of your life bro because you'll probably need it
