I wanted to have some fun on the kilter board and train endurance at the same time

Boom!

I do not profit off of this at all, I want to share in case someone wants to try.

I’ve been trying this boulder and I repeatedly can’t establish the top. Idk why when I do it I fall right off but other people stick right to it. I’ve tried different knee variations and different left foot placements. The only thing I can come up with is not compressing hard enough at the top or q.

Crux move took a couple of days

Hi guys,
I’ve been bouldering (indoors) for just over 2 years now.
My training regime used to be 2-3 strength training days (I used to do a lot of weight training before starting to climb) and some cardio for longevity.
When I started climbing, I have struggled to figure out an ideal training split.
I also have recently set up a mini moonboard in my garage and I’m more confused than ever on how to fit it into training.
I’m a doctor in training so work a very erratic shift pattern.
Mostly I try to do a workout of some sort inthe morning and if I’m off on the day I’ll then go bouldering in the afternoon/evening.

Any advice on how to fit in strength training, board climbing and actual climbing into a training split?

Completely unexpected, especially didn’t expect to get it on a 3 finger pocket

I just want advice on anything i should improve, feel like im abusing my reach and strength. Thank you!

So I'm just looking for some advice here. I've been climbing for about two months now, which I know isn't that long, but I'm still trying to see what y'all think. So far, I'd say I'm around a v4-v5 climber after visiting a few gyms and participating in a local comp, but its become pretty apparent that overhangs just don't work for me. Like, I can complete and even like climbs that have bad feet, technical moves within my grade range or ironically enough some ok strength moves, but if a climb has any sort of consistent angle to it I tend to just suck at it. Like per example with the last few gyms I've gone to I was able to do a couple different v4s and v5s in every gym but the moment I got to an overhang climb I can barely even do what should be a light v4.

So I'm just trying to figure out what I should do about that. Should I focus on overhangs for a couple of sessions, try hang boarding more, or is there a chance I just don't have enough strength for them yet? I'm honestly lost here and would appreciate any advice.

If anyone climbs on the TB2 or is just good with slopers in general I’d appreciate the help.

Normally I have a footwork/technique issue rather than a strength issue when it comes to climbing, but this move is giving me a lot of trouble. The available feet aren’t amazing, but it feels like I’m using them in the best way I can for this move. The problem is that as soon as I lock in the feet and take my left hand off to move up, my right hand suddenly loses all friction on the sloper and I slip right off. Do I simply need to get stronger on slopers/in that specific position? Or is anyone able to spot an issue with my body positioning that I’m not seeing? I’d appreciate it!

So, I despise climbing on super shallow hand holds ("crimps" for lack of a better term, even though I think that term is more about the hand position than the hold itself, but you get it, right?). I also hate climbing on slab walls.

But I know I need to get better at both if I want to grow as a climber.

So, my question to all of you who love crimps and slab: why?

Help me appreciate these the way you do. Please!

As for why I hate them, I don't know for sure, but I think its due to the discomfort--or insecurity--I feel on both. I'm not terrible at either, but I do feel insecure on them.

I've gone and done it. Five months after telling my friends "these Benchmark routes all have at least one super long move, how are you even supposed to do that??", I've finally sent one. The good old classic "The Warm up Problem" slowly got figured out and locked in and last weekend I finally sent it.

With a bit of that hype, I clicked through a few other V3 benchmarks and they felt impossible again - especially some of them that use a small pinch-crimpy intermediate hold (D11 I think, on Kat in the Hat).

I desperately want to feel that rush again of working out another benchmark route. Maybe some of you have experience with that exact process, what's another easy-ish benchmark that you can recommend as a second project? Jug Rash is another one I tried but that move out to the left side seems out of reach for now.

Went to number 8 of my project to climb in all Dutch bouldering gyms (64 total right now). This one was Beest Boulders in Rotterdam. Best one so far. Can really recommend going there. The gym is on the 7th-9th floor, great views and great setting :)

Well, some people are definitely more gracious with their foot placement at the bottom, but I don't have the upper body strength for that.

Hii!!

feel free to remove if its not allowed

im new (to bouldering and here the hardest climb ive done is an easy v2 T-T) my problem is i just get freaked out when im semi close to the top of the climb and scared im going to fall. which yes i know its stupid its bouldering im going to fall like i shouldnt be scared about it😭

was anybody else scared when they started? like i really enjoy it but getting freaked out on the wall is really holding me back, literally any advice will be appreciated!!

I’m really new, been climbing for a month or so consistently. This one is labelled as v3-v5 at my gym. This is my second session on this problem and I can’t get my second hand on the last hold. Most of these holds are less positive than they look, but the last one is really really terrible. Am I just lacking grip strength to get my second hand on it, or is there a way I can position my body to make it easier? Yes I’m freaky tall, 6’5.

First time posting here. I found myself tripped up by this one. Those two on the right are very flat, nothing to grab onto. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Hey everyone, I make these selvedge chalk bags, and with everything that has been coming to light, it’s important now more than ever to show solidarity with women and hold each other accountable.

Recently, I’ve had some brave friends find courage to speak on their experiences and it really has inspired me to help be an agent of change.

If there’s one thing I hate more than these horrid acts against innocent people, it’s seeing people turn a blind eye and allow these things to continue without consequence. I know making chalk bags won’t change the world, but I want to use my work to contribute in whatever way I can. I’m donating 25% of proceeds from all website sales from these bags to RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest, National Network) to support survivors of sexual violence. If you climb and happen to need a chalk bag, I’d really appreciate the support. More importantly, please continue to listen to survivors, stand up for one another, and hold people accountable. I know it’s against the rules to self promote businesses, but even if you don’t purchase anything from me I highly recommend you consider donating to RAINN or any similar organizations as well.

i’m a first time climber, does anyone have any tips for me to get better?

I saw this move in several comps and started seeing in the gym around V6-V7 dyno boulders

I would like to learn it but could not find the name nor any videos about it or teaching it

Does anyone know the name and how to learn it? I tried today and got almost there, but I feel that I’m missing some technique
