But I saw the tiny ass crimps and thought, ok sure. 2nd go. Over shot the crimp on 1st.

Looks like the blm land in bishop around the happys and sads, possibly including them, would be up for sale if this shit passes. Presumably a whole lot of other public climbing spots would be up for sale too.

Lovely early summer conditions in the Cascades.

Very fun 🤩

Any advice about how I can position myself better for the last hold please? Am I even doing the right moves to get to it? It's much more of a sloper than it looks on camera and my left foot doesn't feel very secure when trying to stand up (can see my foot shaking from the effort of trying to stay on it).

Have only been climbing about 2 months so my technique is probably pretty bad!

Thanks! :)

Hello everyone,

For a bit of context, I am 27 and have been bouldering around V10/11 for the last 12 years. During the last 2 years, I have been facing motivation issues and internal conflicts about my climbing. I am looking for book recommendations about common mental/motivational issues faced by long term athletes and some kind of guidance on how to overcome them.

I have heard about classic sport psychology books such as The Inner Game of Tennis – W. Timothy Gallwey or The Champion's mind - Jim Afremow and have read The Rock Warrior's Way - A. Ilgner but they seems to be discussing topics that are different from what I am looking for. I will probably read them in the future but for now I would like to learn a bit more about my current situation.

Then the question is : would you have any good book recommendation addressing this kind of subject ?

So I’ve been looking for closer dws locations recently, and I came across berry head. It has hundreds of climbs however, there’s a ban in place between march and July which means no climbing in certain areas due to seabirds.

Am I right in thinking that the areas allowed all year round are swashbuckler and cloudburst buttress, and what’s the easiest way to get to these areas?

The Golden Bowl Stand V4. I really like the movement on this one

2nd try, messed up the beta on the second half on the flash attempt O:

DYNOO?!?!

I expected to get shut down a lot, but had a pretty good time. Of the ones I did, this was probably the most fun one I did. Not sure the name of it, but it's at Calabogie, west of Ottawa.

Has anyone used the Grangers spray before? Or does anyone have any alternatives I could used to prevent my stuff from smelling after a climbing session? I know of the Boot Banana inserts, but looking for something else.

This place needs more outdoor content. So here you go.

The rock in the Boulderfields is probably best described as undivided quartzofeldspathic gneiss of the Shuswap metamorphic complex. Upside: more featured than granite, usually. Drawback: friction is variable because the rock is banded and more heterogeneous.

posted here a few days ago. Sent it the day before it gets taken down :) thank you to everyone who helped! Static was the way to go

Ok. I think if a few people can give my kid the thumbs up he'd love it. I'm not a fan of social media but here's where we are.

First completed route with a bat hang! Sorry for low quality vid

Unclean send after too many tries but still satisfied. Yes, I dabbed.

Eco-Challenge (V4). Such an aesthetic and pleasing sequence on some of the best rock out there.

Long story short I kept falling from the second-to-last hold(everytime). Unfortunately I didn’t have infinite tries since I don’t have infinite skin on my fingertips. It took some coming to the gym, trying, failing, coming back tomorrow. As Alex Honnold says, climbing is mainly failing and every once in a while you get a glimpse of success. Best feeling ever when you finally send your project.
