Fair enough :) For what it's worth, I would say most climbers would love to see someone tick something they've worked on regardless of difficulty! Best of luck with the next project.

Please give it a try :) One of my closest climbing friends started to overcome his fear, he's been climbing for 25 years and loves it.

I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it!

"Big Thugin" @ 40Β° on the #kilterboard. Great climb. Give it a try. #climbing #bouldering

The real question is: Was it a dab?!

"Only for 60-degrees of hell πŸ’₯πŸ”₯πŸ’₯πŸ”₯πŸ’₯πŸ”₯" @ 60Β° on the #kilterboard. Great climb. Supposed to be 7c/V9 but matching the undercling removes the hard bit. I would say V8 with matching.

I ripped out the terrible and replaced it with some old cheesy music.

Another fun (and rather showy) #kilterboard problem called "Key Collision". This was at 45Β° and is apparently a 7c/V9. Took a few shots to learn the movement. 3 stars! #bouldering #climbing

Coach Nearly Kills Pro Climber – GriGri Incident Analysis
YouTube video by Hard Is Easy Coach Nearly Kills Pro Climber – GriGri Incident Analysis

A savage reminder that you can not, and should not, trust arbitrary people to belay you (or anyone you care about), regardless of their experience or credentials (pro climbing coach?!).

Belayers should never be complacent when they hold the life of another person in their hands.

This is one my fav climbing videos of recent times. And Nathaniel is such a likeable dude.

Read the _right_ book. Someone else's thoughts might be the last thing you need if they're the wrong thoughts πŸ˜€

Because @egyp7.bsky.social told me too. I had so many to choose from because I'm lucky to live in a great part of the world. I chose the East coast of Tasmania to share.

The best sleep I have is the 10 minutes after I've just turned off my alarm, right before I wake up in a panic.

I suck at slab, so climb overhung and "face" more often, resulting in me rubbing toes against the wall as much.

Lifehack: less slab, more overhangs πŸ˜€

Also, if possible, hit the outdoors. Real rock is a bit more forgiving than abrasive indoor walls.

For what it's worth, I started climbing at 38 years old and have never regretted it. A stack of the climbing community joined the sport to get over their fear of heights as well. You'll at least learn to deal with the fear.

Give it a try! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

"Diagnosed with steez" @ 40Β° on the Kilter Board. Banger of a V7, with a brutal last move. Probably harder for the shorties! #kilterboard #bouldering #climbing

Second 7c+/V10 on the #kilterboard done! It's called "triple dipper" @ 40Β°

I have to admit it feels soft for the grade even if you avoid matching. No matching certainly makes it spicier.

Great climb though, recommend giving it a go if you're a kilter nerd!

Here in Australia, we have "Mandatory voting".. which the locals refer to as "Pick a dickhead or cop a fine".

To be fair, it's not just the I.T. industry. I think it's everywhere. And I mean literally everywhere. See ... any fucking vendor that does everything they can to lock you in but fail to provide a good enough service, especially after purchase.

My definition of 'success' has changed a lot through the course of my life. It used to be tied to work and money and other stupid shit.

But now, getting "thanks for being a fucking legend" in a card from my kiddo is THE PEAK of success.
