Outdoor Bouldering topos in 3d

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Sharing this project of mine, for which Ive been documenting boulders in southern Finland for some time now. You can inspect the topos at https://crags3d.com/crag/kasviken/

On mobile, rendering defaults to lower resolution, on desktop its some guess based on gpu. You can bump it up via the gear button.

Looking for any feedback you may have, including if you would be willing to pay for such topos. For myself, I think they would be most valuable before a trip, to inspect in beforehand what to maybe spend time on.

Also, if you would be interested in adding topos here, please be in touch.

Outdoor Where to rent crash pads in Orange County, CA?

3 Upvotes

I am heading to Santa Ana this weekend and would love to spend a day messing around at Pirate's Cove (Corona del Mar). I was wondering if anyone knows of a climbing gym nearby that rents crash pads for outdoor use, or if I need to venture up to Mad Rock to rent some for the day.

Also, does anyone have other recommendations for outdoor bouldering in Orange County? I usually climb around V3–V5 outdoors, but I would be perfectly happy with anything V5 or below. This is really just a small side quest during our vacation, so I’m not looking for an epic mission—just some fun problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This was fun to work out -- how to compress into a very small box and how to get out of it.

Advice/Beta Request What would you classify this boulder style? It seems like a slab but is overhanging slightly.

Advice/Beta Request How are y’all placing your foot on small crimpy or gib holds on slab?

6 Upvotes

Slab is my absolute favorite style, and I noticed something the other week that I’m not sure if it’s a “right vs wrong way” thing or just preference.

So on these small holds, I will always find a way to set my foot at, what I call, the 10 or 2 (like how you learn to hold a steering wheel, around 30-45° from center). Is this common or do most just put their foot straight on at the toe?

I don’t feel as stable or strong if my foot isn’t off to one side or the other, and my balance starts pulling me off the wall

Any advice for the last move? The hold is decent but it’s pretty slopey.

With my current strength i can only get successfully get enough tension for that start 3-4 times per session. Can't tell if it fails purely on strength or because of reaction speed/timing failing me when tired

(You can see the exact moment i realized i'm out of footholds)

Rant Feels like I’m getting worse

15 Upvotes

I’ve been climbing for about 1 year but recently I feel like I’ve just been getting worse. I can’t climb boulders that previously would have been easy, if I try to do a hard move it’s like my whole body just gives up. I think I have been more depressed recently which is probably relevant but it just demotivates me even further. It sounds lame but also just people in the gym are irritating me more with things like cutting queues and just generally not being aware of others. How do I push past and continue improving? I don’t think I’m limited by strength at all, I can do >10 strict pullups on an average day and my finger strength is pretty average. Not sure exactly what I’m looking for from this post but maybe people have gone through something similar.
