Domen Skofic's home wall

[DAVETHOMAS90]

@Anti - ouch! Did Dave touch a nerve there? His point was pretty straightforward, to be fair. Why did it upset you?

Sorry, upon reflection I come across (probably more than) a bit cunty. I think the general attitude of "I was better in the old days .." is something that irks me in general and I often respond poorly to it.

I'm sure I was.. I think.

Hello Anti ;D
I should say something with ref to this being nothing to do with the past, but some consideration of what we want climbing to mean as things move forward. That's an open question, with so many things for people to express and consider, and find inspiration in.
There will be new things, disciplines, approaches that I've not considered, that might inform/inspire me. However, I've always found that something more simplistic/aesthetic in climbing does something for me, which steers me away from the more materialistic/consuming/needing more. In that sense, I think I can see trends in climbing as a pursuit, that may well be behind the times in some respects.
Tread lightly may sound a bit old fashioned, but I think it's certainly of the moment.

As a footnote, as mentioned by others above, this did also come across to me as a thread about Domen's personal training facility, in a "look at how big his is" way, which I found ugly. Anti, your post also makes reference to changes, then to now, raising the question perhaps of what we might want climbing to mean, how it might develop etc. Interesting.

Not least because you're training essential misery, aesthetics-ignoring, and grottiness appreciation ;D

Just let me know when you need a belay, you’d get on with the central 7cs

I'm keen to get back on Obscene Toilet, got quite psyched by that after a brief session :-[

Judging by the Instagram account (climbing_ranch) it’s actually planned to be a commercial wall - funded by Domen and Janja Garnbret.

They broke up apparently. he bought her out.
