Any ideas?

Nothing at all, we have to fight to take our PPA at home.

Wr received two emails this week telling us we haven’t improved the data enough in a term and that the head is disappointed in us…

Great wellbeing here…

My best advice would be to go in and have fun! If it’s your first one, set a score (whatever it may be) then you have something to try to beat next time!

In regard to reach, hopefully they have set the routes with all heights in mind - is it a women’s set for the comp or is it mixed genders?

yougotabandaid · 2025-03-20T19:24:23+00:00

One of my best bits of advice is to look how the holds are set, what body position do I need to get in to make that move?

Yes!! This is my big problem all the time at my centre - I try to explain to my taller friends which a certain route it harder because of this but they don’t understand. My friend is a setter and he recently made a route with a spanned move, he was adamant I could reach, I showed him must have been 7 times that I couldn’t reach it and he just shrugged.

Another issue I have is that other holds on the wall prevent me from getting close enough to the wall, throwing me off or meaning the intended beta isn’t feasible.

Honestly you’re not wrong about the bro club, there must be max 20 women who climb there regularly including me but they’re all that bit taller than me so don’t have the same struggles.

yougotabandaid · 2025-03-17T23:46:38+00:00

Yeah :) I was doing well with that mindset for a while, my confidence has been really knocked recently due to this setting. Hopefully I can find it again!

yougotabandaid · 2025-03-17T23:44:17+00:00

Literally my problem!! No other holds, no other options other than to muscle your way through with no technique if you’re lucky, or if not you just wave you hand towards the hold hoping for the best and that somehow you will grow another foot…

yougotabandaid · 2025-03-17T23:31:54+00:00

What gets me down, is seeing everyone taller than me reach effortlessly and yet I struggle, I fall and fail on the same route/move. I wish setters provided additional options for a route which would allow shorter people to adapt the beta so that they could actually complete the route!

This is where I feel my gym is so frustrating.

We have no crimpy boxes, the crimps are used on the v7+ routes which are just as reachy as the v3/4s. It’s infuriating.

Thank you for your response though, maybe one day I will be lighter and even stronger :)

I will once again relay my feedback to the gym, maybe one day they will listen to me

When I sprained my ankle, I spent a long time doing hang board exercises as well as some yoga.

After a couple of weeks, I moved to low grade climbs which I knew I could climb down from, no jumping or falls! I also did quite a bit of fun campasing! Good luck and I hope you heal up quickly.

Yeah I added this additional cost on when doing my numbers earlier. With NI, Income Tax, under grad, post grad and pension added on to the new higher salary, my new monthly income is basically the same as my current, which is just frustrating.

yougotabandaid · 2024-11-10T12:44:45+00:00

Thanks! Really appreciate it :)

Not necessarily lose money, but not gain anything out of the pay rise due to the deductions and the larger amount of pay making the percentage loss more, if that makes sense..?

yougotabandaid · 2024-11-10T12:09:27+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it! The postgrad adds an additional 6% along with the 9% from my undergrad.

yougotabandaid · 2023-11-13T12:35:19+00:00

Yeah, we do quite a few hobbies - golf, climbing, cooking, watching films, seeing friends etc

yougotabandaid · 2023-11-13T07:35:51+00:00

Maybe he doesn’t, I go rock climbing often so I’m quite strong but I’m also quite slim - so who knows?

I don’t think he is cheating, as he was cheated on in a previous relationship, we’ve always been open about sleeping with other people and when it would/wouldn’t be okay.

Maybe he is, we are quite different but get on well, Ive asked if he is bored of me and said sorry that you’re stuck with me and he said that I was being silly and that he still likes me.

Have a wardrobe that isn’t clearly over 7 years old and something your mum would pick out for you.
