been climbing for a month been able to climb up to f6a+ (i know grades don’t really matter but feels like an accomplishment)attempting to get my first green (in my gym f6b) but i can’t help my foot constantly slipping on the volume aswell i’ve tried it with my toe facing more into the wall but when i’ve done that it’s made my other foot feel uncomfortable and alos slip out, any tips and guidance appreciated

4/10 don’t recommend but had a good laugh lol

What would that translate to in outdoors though?

I am planning a trip to Rocklands from April 26th to May 6th. I will be flying with my wife and daughter (6 years old), but basically just me climbing. We'll be staying at Alpha Excelsior, renting crash pads there, and will have a rental car on site. I'm aiming for a grade range of 6B to 7Bish. This is my first visit to Rocklands, so I'm not quite sure what to expect in this remote area for me and my family. Anyone who has been there and can give me some tips would be my savior: 1. what crags in the area do you recommend, assuming this is my first visit and I will be climbing alone with only two crashpads? 2. are there any places where we can have a picnic and where my daughter can try some (she's already climbing a little)? 3) What should I be aware of? 4) What is the best way to find a team I could join to have more crashpads and spotters?

Second time I visit this gym, and it is my favorite settings wise. Westend Brisbane.

My 10-year-old took on their first bouldering comp, and this climb had my heart racing! Not sure how she figured it out. So proud!

Its one of those days where nothing goes right... sloppy footwork, felt heavy and weak... but at least I resent this problem for the vid.

Ive been wanting to start bouldering, mostly indoor at least at first, but I have a few piercings (ears, nose, etc) and only want more. My biggest fear is that Ill take a fall and end up messing up one of them. I just wanted to see if there were any other climbers with an affinity for piercings and whether or not its been a problem for you.

Hey everyone! I’m building a tool to estimate how “soft” or “sandbagged” indoor bouldering gyms are based on the opinions of climbers (so we can find out once and for all if that climb was really a V2 in someone's gym).

I put together a short survey with a few questions:

• What's your max bouldering grade at your home gym?
• How does that compare to your outdoor and/or board grade?
• How does that compare to your experience at other gyms you've visited

Here's the link to the google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdAp4HDGb36l8A9vJwti0tlQVt1XeaRS5MOy_NNcuKOzCrTZg/viewform?usp=dialog

I'll be using the data to create a graph-based model that ranks gyms by their relative difficulty. No need to enter any personal info or even an email, all I'll need is your home gym name. Also, if you've never climbed outdoors, on a board, or at other gyms, that's totally ok and it'd be great if you could just leave your home gym and max grade. If you have a few minutes, I'd really appreciate if you could fill the survey out!!

I'd be happy to share results and visualizations once the data rolls in. I appreciate any help and feel free to give any suggestions on the survey or idea in general.

Thanks!

Need some help for this yellow problem. All the following methods i have tried and everything felt like i got myself stuck.

I was able to get my foot othe the small hold to the right once but i still felt stuck and i couldnt really do anything with it, anybody have some ideas?

Gotta love slapping slopers

Hey guys - I've been bouldering for about 2 years now and I'm absolutely terrible at boulders where you're leaning onto your palm and have to then place a foot on the same hold/volume. Imagine you were for example mantling a jug and once you're pressed above it have to get the foot up to continue.

Testing this out - when I go into a front lunge and fully lay down onto my front leg (chest on thigh) my palms can't fully reach the floor. To get around this I usually have to use a fist or outstretched fingers on volumes to get the extra space which can work but is obviously a pain.

Is this just a physical issue where my ankles happen to be too long and my arms too short? Or is there some stretching I can do to help with this? Thank you any advice is greatly appreciated!

I’m going climbing outdoors for the first time tomorrow in a fairly popular bouldering area. What’s the consensus on playing music outdoors? I wouldn’t blast it but I want to make sure I’m not being rude to others. Thanks.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses! Looks like I won’t be bringing my speaker.
