Ubiquitus posted:Anyone here use kettlebells as a supplement? Could anyone post a climbing specific kettlebell sequence, w/ sets and reps? My gym offers a KB class twice a week. The instructor spends about 6 weeks focusing on a new movement, upping weight and reps as the class gets used to it. Currently we are working on Turkish Get Ups the rest of the class is a mix of other movements like squats and dead lifts. The instructor's Instagram is empowered_movement she posts some of the workouts and movements to it. I wouldn't say any of it is climbing focused but my overall fitness has improved because of the class so that has helped me on the wall.

I’d say that Turkish get-ups and heavy hip hinges have a lot of utility for climbing, however. Deadlifting with a kB - not so much. If I were to add in those movements to my training, I’d prioritize form above all, naturally, and shoot for 3-5 singles of Turks and 3x5 on the heavy hinges. I’m about to begin my KB cert. so I’ll get back to you in a couple months!

I went climbing outside with my friend the other weekend and wanted to share some photos. We paddled across a lake to the wall and climbed two five pitch sport routes on it. Here's the view from the boat: I got lucky and got all the comfy belay ledges:  Here's the view from the top:  Overall a great day of climbing. This was at Banks Lake, WA on the orange wall. We saw zero other climbers, just some fishing boats on the lake.

That is awesome. I was doing some deep water soloing at Banks Lake back in July. It was a ton of fun.

had a shuddering feeling go through my middle and ring finger, through the tendon all the way down past the wrist just doing some lameass sloper problem and now they hurt in the most specific, annoying way: whenever i grab something with a fully open hand (like a pile of clothing or anything that needs a wide grip) i get a pain that shoots down my hand for like a half second. nothing else hurts it at all, even 100% effort climbing on those fingers. trying to decide if i should chop them off or not

I have a regular old doorway-mounted pull up bar. Would it be a bad idea to use it like a hang board? Just wrap as little of my hand/fingers around it as I can and do pull ups that way, rather than fully wrapping my hand around it?

Unless you can do 30+ pull-ups, you'll fatigue your back way faster than your fingers. Use it for dead-hangs, use it for pull-ups, don't use it for dead-hang pull-ups.

Hang boards are designed specifically with a smaller depth for each hold position. You'll gain more specific tendon strength using those depths; fingers gain strength when stressed at particular angles only for that angle. So: full crimping, half crimping, slopers, all have to be trained separately. I seriously doubt you'd be able to use a pull up bar for training finger strength very effectively

There's no point to attempting to train pulleys on a pull up bar, when he can just remove weight on a regular hang board at the gym. If he doesn't have time to spend at the gym, that's a separate issue.

i went outside to squamish (which is apparently a great place for bouldering) and i just didn't like it. felt like a long way to do stuff that's less fun just because its outdoors i've always preferred being in a gym to running/whatever outside so this is a completely unsurprising extension of that

I hate running on a treadmill but I do like running on an indoor track because it's climate controlled and generally like 1/8 of a mile or less and counting up the number of laps is a good mental motivator

I like bouldering indoors because, while I enjoy the physical and mental challenge of climbing, I am also risk averse and terrified of heights, plus there's an indoor gym about a 12 minute walk away from me. I do enjoy cycling outdoors, though I'm thinking of getting a bike trainer so I can do that indoors this winter.

Kind of a long shot, but does anyone in Dallas know what's up with climb Oso? Rumor has it it's vaguely open and I'd love to go since it's right by where I work.

I'm starting to get a bunion on one foot. The two major issues for me is that my toes are long and I can't find a climbing shoe with a toe box large enough for them, and that the foot in question is about 2/3 of a size larger than the other, so it's literally impossible to find a pair of shoes that fits both feet. Has anyone dealt with this before? Which shoes have the largest toe boxes? Is there any way to buy a pair of shoes of different sizes?

Canyons is too far really now that Summit has so many locations, I haven't been there in..close to 10 years I think. Also there're 2 gyms opening in the design district in the next 6ish months which'll be right next to where I work. I'm making an effort to go outside more with a goal of once a month though, so we we can try to coordinate that if you want. I'm going to Horseshoe Canyon Ranch this weekend with 6 or 7 other people, but probably a bit short notice. Weather's looking really nice aside from some rain on Friday. I want to make it out to Hueco Tanks sometime this winter too, but who knows, long rear end drive and kind of painful to set everything up with the tours etc. Some of the people I climb with go every winter though so hopefully I can just follow along and they'll organize it all. Honestly there's a world of difference between venturing outside with draws and uh..cams and nuts and stuff ... I took the Texas Mountaineers trad class a very long time ago, and it was pretty neat for the price, 2 days of essentially guided trad climbing where someone will look over your placements and you can follow them up things to see how they protected the route. I wouldn't say it makes you ready to actually trad lead anything difficult, but it'll at least give you an idea if you even want to do trad without buying a bunch of poo poo you may never want to use. I did try to trad lead something myself after the class, but I essentially ended up free soloing 2 pitches of 5.5, with a neat epic in the middle where I dropped my ATC off the cliff off at the end of the first pitch and had to down climb to retrieve it. Unrelated but I have a bunch of 15 year old trad gear I'll never use if anyone wants it.

Also the outdoors is majestic as gently caress.
