  1. #Climbing bubble, any suggestions for shoes that are less keen on deforming my toes than Solutions? Probably something softer too. The use case is indoor #bouldering.

    EDIT: got some ideas, thank you!

  3. Finally got to B-Pump in Tokyo. It's bigger than anything in Australia, but I gotta say, the bouldering gyms in Melbourne beat it in lots of ways. Spoogy holds, OK but not brilliant setting, and the facilities were pretty poor. My gym in Melbourne has a sauna, weights gym, and three types of water on tap, at B-Pump there aren't even showers and you have to buy water from a vending machine.

  5. More magic wood climbing, this time by night!
    This was the same trip, just posting late.

    This is Kanonärohr (6c).

  6. Next up from Sister 2.5 on the Gower is "Schmills and Boon" on the tiny, top section of the area. A short, little number with an obvious (though not to read apparently) crux that packs a punch... Didn't help that when I actually sent it, I was crimping on some sort of vegetation that was gradually sliming my hand off the hold. Thanks go to Helen for a solid catch and putting up with me faffing around with the start a lot.

  8. A safety notice from Edelrid regarding the Ohm II, Ohmega and Fuse and the potential for the webbing component to be fitted incorrectly.

    If you have one, it's worth checking, particularly if you've replaced the webbing (or are about to).

  9. How far away is the first 9b boulder?

    In 2016, Nalle established the world's first 9a/ V17. Now, 10 years later, Elias has proposed the first 9a+/ V18.

    If future repeat ascents confirm the grade, the historical trend of the world's hardest boulder problems suggests the first 9b could arrive in roughly 12–15 years.

    Do you think we'll see a 9b boulder before 2040?

  13. Another route from the Sister 2.5 area with Helen & Sarah - the hardest one I did and it'd be fun to go back and try some of the harder ones - and another one with nice moves. Again, actually felt kinda easier than expected - good day, getting stronger, or soft grades, who knows? - as, looking at it, I sort of expected a fall. The crux took a little working out, though!

  15. It's summertime and, with IFSC World Cups going on, I've got the bug to watch people climb stuff.

  17. It's been a while since I've posted anything - partly because I haven't had a lot of outdoor time this year so far. That changed last week with great trip to the Gower with the White Spider crowd. This was day 3 at the three sisters area - in this case Sister 2.5 - with Helen (on tradding my gear to the wall) and Sarah (on belay). Probably the best weather of the trip coming after a tent-straining gale the night before, and moves felt easy and flowy. Got love a climbing day like that!

  19. Made it out to the Ontario Alliance of Climbers (a climbing access group for which I serve on the board) 2026 Spring Fling at Rattlesnake Point; we picked up trash from Rattlesnake Point and Mount Nemo. #climbing

  21. Got back to U-Boot after 2 years (!!)
    Got it on my first try, after doing the top out a couple of times.
    Then I tried Atom-U-boot (7a+), which I couldn't get started on. The next day we went back and I got it after only a few tries!

    Anyway, this is u-boot. The video is sped up (x2) for the traverse.

  22. A message to the #climbing and #bouldering folk. Be careful out there. My climbing partner broke her foot yesterday. She got tangled in a blanket and fell whilst getting off the sofa.

  23. This morning's road cycling involved a good amount of climbing and large quantities of wind - but since I had company and we took it easy, I enjoyed every bit. What am I saying here? ...I nearly always enjoy the climbing!

  24. Sitting in a plane at regular cruising altitude and being just barely above eye level of mountain peaks is…something else entirely

    Nanga Parbat. 8126m/26660ft. God damn she tall.

  29. Another slab done! This one was part of the finalists boulders for a junior comp. The footholds during the first half were beyond bad and reaching up to the undercling was a tricky move, can't imagine how hard that must be for children half my size. Glad I finally got it!

  30. "The next grade will make me happy."

    Many climbers have had that thought. But once you send the project, the satisfaction often fades quickly and a new target takes its place.

    Why does this happen? The answer lies in how our brains respond to achievement and adaptation.

    Chasing grades alone rarely leads to lasting satisfaction—try to enjoy the process instead.

  32. Climbing at Bielatal. I wish I will still be able to do so in 30+ years like the group after us. And I had to learn (again) you can fail at easy grades in Saxony 😂 Weather was perfect and not that many people.

  36. Back from vacation and straight into the Wetterstein Mountains for some sport climbing today. 😉 Photo taken from a viewpoint on the way back. 🧗‍♂️⛰️

  37. Thinking less is makes you climb better.

    Overanalysis interrupts movement. The more you doubt, and self-monitor mid-crux, the more you fragment attention — and performance drops.

    The wall rewards presence, not narration.
