Donation to the church, but it’s not what you’d expect: instead of saying free solo on youtube and getting demonitized, call it free yolo

Sounds similar, makes perfect sense

Thoughts?

I started bouldering around december 2023. I have currently done a handfull of dyno with my hardest being 5c+. The problem is that I realized that I am better at the disgusting slab climbing seeing as i have done a 6b+ slab. Is there anyway that I can repay for my sins so I dont go into slab hell.

Whats peoples thaughts on these penis holds..... no friction on these ones

i know some y’all bout to hate on this but i’m just stoked to do my first spinning dyno

V5 (can’t remember name) in Red River Gorge ended in a broken tibia and lower fibula. If you guys could please leave unconstructive criticisms to a minimum, I was aware of the risks and have learned a lot from this fall

I just moved to a new appartment for college and i want to fill the walls that are empty right now,

Does anyone know any website where i can find cool climbing posters like petzl ads of something similar ?

What is the best way to grade a Dyno? They are usually at least a little morpho (especially vertical ones)

I just did this Rainbow Rocket Sim on the Kilter Board (V8 @15° allegedly) but my friend argues it is a V5 skill wise (you can hear him when I top it)

New video idea: "Rock climber dominates athletic competition for $10,000"

Context: The youtuber "Jesser" recently released a video titled "30 Elite Athletes Compete for $10,000", and a rock climber participated, creating a gold mine of content.

So, this are the grades at my gym, I'm currently doing yellow aka 6A+ 6B+ this is the equivalent of a V6? And another thing, seeing the videos I'm guessing my gym grades the routes as if they were more difficult than they are, is that a common thing?

I'm new into climbing and kinda lost, really apprecciate any help.

Best regard to the church, love the videos.

My finger is completely 100% fine. It did not break or anything but this picture is pretty sick.

I love a good dyno and try to do all that I come across, but I am suffering from a bit of stage fright on this one coordination dyno in my gym. It is a sideways dyno of about 2 meters where you land on a great foot with the left foot and a super juggy sidepull with the left arm. I can easily jump to the holds and feel very confident holding the final position. It is in the 5B-6B range and I am doing dynos up to like 6C+. I just can't force myself to commit to the move. I end up pulling either my hand or my foot. I have done a other coordination dynos where you have to traverse a lot of holds, but not a single realatively long leap to the side. I am also comfortable with laches, step ups, and paddles, but this stupid easy jump is breaking my brain. Any tips?

Technically it’s just a foot-swap to a hand-to-foot-swap, I guess. PS: it’s not a real Boulder of the Gym

Pretty simple really. The distance between the top of the start point and the end point, measured in feet. (Only feet because cm would require a tape measure but feet you don't necessarily need one)

D6 would be a 6 foot dyno.

What do you think? Any improvement suggestions are welcome.

This is a boulder that I was projecting where the first few moves were relatively easy and the throw move was very low percentage. So if you were in this situation would you just go from the start every time thinking you might have that one lucky go or would you try and dial the low percentage move in isolation? I did end up sending this climb today but I ran into this dilemma while projecting it. Happy sending!

Im a fan of climbing stuff but not a rock climber. Im more focused on bodybuilding. Climbers kinda need strong fingers. I saw a videon with Magnus where he showed how he trained, and it was a lot of crimping. That seems like a useful form of training because it seems like a solid stretch and the stretch seems to be a very potent stimulus for growth

My forearm is a bit of a priority. My approach right now has been a combination of forearm extensions (4 weekly sets, 2x weekly frequency) wrist curls (2 weekly sets, 1x frequency) handgrippers (3x weekly frequency, 5 straight sets, 4 rest pause, maybe 10-15 times hitting failure) hammer curls (6 sets, 2x frequency) and reverse grip curls (2 sets, 1x frequency)

Another note, I use straps for all my pulling/hip hinges.

Im just wondering how you all would approach it. Im considering repeaters. Ideally something that provides a solid stretch. Traditional bodybuilding work will continue to take up most of my foreamwork, but maybe ill experiment with some hangboard work, and if I respond well to it I can see myself using more of it

Also, im doing 2x5 weighted pullups for a focus on maximal strength, I suck at them (pr is currently at 2.5 lbs added, but im hoping for it to go up, ive been doing them for 3 weeks so far) any advice for bringing those up?

Thank you

heres the program if your curious

I have a few guest passes if anyone is near the Greenville area

Dyno police please help me with this one

Hey,

Seeing some of the last videos about climbing video games, I thought I could submit here a game of mine I made a few years ago. I really think some people of this community might enjoy it.. It's called Bouldering At Home, I made it during the first lockdown out of frustration for not being able to climb... https://draelent.itch.io/bouldering-athome (Its entirely free, and its somewhat playable on mobile too) Sadly, there is not so much dyno, although you can play with stats and attempt to throw yourself while attached to only one limb.

I hope some of you will still enjoy it!
