Hard for you
August 20, 2014, 07:35:13 am
Hard for you? After reading 9A.hubblesharderthanladuradura I'd just like to remind a few people that if it takes you 4 sessions to do a boulder problem it's not hard for you! A problem is also only worthy of soft in your opinion if you start climb and finish in the right place and do it quickly and easily. Also if you're going to make the effort to type just take a few more minutes to find the correct details about the problem!
Thanks in advance

Touché Will my anger had nowhere left to go, there was nowhere sensible so I thought I'd just vent. I can't name and shame my thumb would be worn out! Just pick 5 people off 8A and at least 3 will come out something like 2nd go hard for me, 1st go sixth session, crescent arête fa Klem loskot, 12 minutes, took a while figuring out beta - soft, I get hard when spotting, props to DG, fired the rig and then got severely beaten for being a twat, etc

Measure. Train. Analyze. Compete. Tell your friends. Don't enjoy climbing as those sharp edges have trashed your fingers.

I suspect it's real.. No obvious gaffes to give away it's satire.

I'm also confused as to whether Denses post was satirical. I suspect not as well :D

While the competition seems  :sleep:, with a side of  :sick: and  :shit:, I actually like the idea of the auto timer.  If they could also do an autoscale for weight, It would be perfect.

 :blink:  Brilliant Chris, you don't see that in the bouldering vids.

Quote
So how does it work? The smartphone is connected to the training board via a specifically designed mechanism that activates the sensors of the smartphone as soon as you start to hang and stops the clock when you put your feet back on the ground.
Because the sensors in your own feet aren't precise enough to tell you when they left the ground. And the sensors in your own eyes can't tell you what time it said on the stopwatch when they did, and what time it said when they touched down again?

Quote
This precise training mechanism allows climbers to carefully track and improve their training.
And your own in-built 'precise training mechanism' - aka your brain - that enables you to write down observations and compare them to previous observations...  :wall:  'Smartphone' has got to be one of the greatest misnomers ever.

I really appreciate your trust in my abilities, but that will never happen. I fingerboard just for myself. For the beauty of the environment, for being free and at one with mother nature. Being a professional fingerboarder would detract so much from the experience. Now I can decide when to fingerboard (lunchtime or evening), how to (max one arm hangs, max monos, max two armed, max max), what to wear (red vest, no vest, shorts, no shorts).
I can even decide not to fingerboard, and go around the world to discover new fingerboaring destinations: hotel rooms, rusty old gyms, dusty corners in stations.
I mean, I am free.
And that is priceless.

what if you didn't have to use plastic fingerboards - you could be contracted to stay with natural wood only - would you turn pro then?

Lagers, one can't sell his own soul to the devil, and then pretend he didn't.
A true fingerboarder is seen in these choices.
What if the China leg of the FWC coincide with the 2nd birthday of my youngest granchild's bunny? Could I ever miss it? No, I could not. And I will not.
