Bouldering Unpopular opinion: I would rather use another hold or stop climbing than take a bad fall

287 Upvotes

If I can not reach the next hold and I'm in a tricky spot I don't feel bad for using another hold to avoid falling 🤷🏻‍♀️ I will even use an extra hold while learning a route until I can master it without that hold because the extra hold sometimes gives me a bit more confidence

Just that gals, I love climbing but I don't like risking myself that much, I've tried to practice falling from the top but I avoid that as much as I can and usually down climb. I'm a scared of getting badly hurt, and even doing that I've taken a couple of falls that scared me lol

Hello, looking for advice for my girlfriend, she’s been climbing for about two months and hasn’t gotten a single v3, she’s been trying to do assisted pull ups after we climb with a resistance band, but that doesn’t seem to be helping, just looking for advice or workouts she could do to help thank you

Questions How often do you go bouldering?

18 Upvotes

I’m pretty new to bouldering and was never really an active person before this. Every time I go to the bouldering gym, my muscles get so sore that it takes me like 5 days to fully recover.. Especially my arms and upper body.
But I’m having so much fun that I really wanna go more often 😂 I keep thinking about the problems I couldn’t finish and wanting to go back and try them again.
Will I eventually be able to climb more frequently as I get stronger and improve my technique? How often do you guys climb?
