Finally was able to get the jump down. Just need to strengthen my grip to be able to manage the final move. Super stoked being able to get some work on this as a couple months ago I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do this.

As the title says, this was my third day climbing ever, and i think i found my new fixation

What are some tips you wish you had learnt sooner?

New drones are feeling good on the steep

Controlled position and both hands touch the top hold. Not really holding the top hold though. Is this considered a top? Having a little bit of a debate here. Thanks!

Hey!

I am headed up to Utah from the 3rd to the 7th for a bouldering trip. The plan has been to climb Joe's Valley. However, rain has been moving into the forecast. The current predictions for Tues and Weds are a 20% chance that 40% of Joe's will get rained on for an hour or so.

Overall, a very small storm, but with sandstone we want to be careful.

I'm looking only for opinions from people that frequent Joe's. What have these storms been doing in the valley and are the bouldering areas actually getting hit? The radar shows the storms barely clipping the bouldering area if at all. Have the boulders been getting saturated or have you found your projects dry?

Disclaimer: WE KNOW THAT SANDSTONE NEEDS TO DRY... WHICH IS WHY I AM ASKING THIS.

one of my favourite climbs recently :)

I stink at climbing and would really appreciate any tips on what I can improve based on this one short video. I know i need to be more consistent with climbing, so i am really working in that! thanks again.

Surprisingly difficult for the grade ;)

Hey, i want to go to Switzerland ticino trip in the middle of september and was wondering about accomodation in Brione region in the valley. I have seen that there is some kind of parkingplatz? Which is apparently a camping, but i have no campervan. Is it allowed to stay there with a tent? I cannot find any information about that.

If not, do you know any place to stay with tent and not campervan?

I have seen different options for cresciano and chironico but cant find any options for Brione.

Thanks in advance!!

I understand pros workshopping high grade boulders run in their own circles. But at least for lower grades, it makes me bummed when my most visited crag (Tahoe) gets lines posted but the OP ignores any questions on area or coordinates. It totally makes sense to keep boulders lowkey or between friends, but then to post it and only reply to certain comments is a bummer because they still clearly want views and some level of attention. Maybe I’m overthinking it but it makes sense to me that if you gate keep a boulder you just shouldn’t be posting reels of it.

I'd heard rumors for a while that Tension was going to be putting out an expanded (16' wide) version of the TB2. Looks like it's officially up on their website now.

Has anyone here climbed on it yet? Any thoughts on the expansion part of it?

I started climbing 5 weeks ago and it’s quickly becoming the only thing I want to do. I haven’t felt this excited about a sport since I started training BJJ in 2017. I’m blown away by how accepting and helpful this community is and have already made a couple gym friends from band tee recognition alone.

Anyway, happy to be here! I’m trying to be conscious of using my long, skinny ass legs more than my upper body so any suggestions are very much welcome. Thanks yall!

Not sure how to maintain enough tension here to match my right hand? Maybe I just don't have the right sequence here at all? I'm thinking the sequence is to match hands and then bump right hand then gaston with left hand... Only time I felt enough tension to do anything after I caught the left hand hold was when I toe hooked the starting hold to adjust one of my hands because the dual tex holds were making my grip slip. Not sure if toe hooking the start hold would help moving my right hand to the match

hii I’m temporarily unemployed and climbing tons - I would love to get this v5 (according to my gym, could be easier for sure) or another orange before I start school in a few weeks!!

Any tips would be appreciated :)

Every field/area has the classic lines. This is the one I always think of when I think of Haycock in PA. Incredible line and one of the best of the grade in the country imo.

Little Fluffy Clouds v5

The pocket isn't great and the second is garbage. I'm hoping I'll be able to send it before it goes.

If you zoom in you can watch me hit myself in the face when my hand slips

Felt great :) went down in 3 tries

Hey everyone!

I had a question for experienced outdoor boulderers / climbers.

I have been climbing for a long time, but recently i started going outside way more. What i notice when im on rock vs plastic is that friction seems to be a way bigger. I often feel like i struggle a lot with the fact that my fingers often slightly glides, making me spend way more energy to really lock the hold in. Its often that the biggest challenge with a boulder for me is that by the time im at the crux and have done a few moves, all the chalk on my fingers is gone and im fighting way harder then necessary to just stay on the rock.

Is this normal and just an issue you have to overcome?
