Jabee Kim repeats La Révolutionnaire V16/8C+

I hope you can't tell

The rope isn't that heavy

I've been shorting you

I would say that this is the coolest 7A around Helsinki (could be a 7A+). Hard and technical board-style climbing.

I'm really pleased as I just got my first V4 a few weeks ago and I've only been climbing since mid-September.

I've still got a lot of work to do to be more consistent with my V3s, more confident trying V4s, and now more open to trying V5s.

I have a pair of Scarpa VS that I have resoled once before. When I got those new I had to break them in for about two months, it was very painful but nowthey fit perfectly. I have tried Sportiva solutions in between when I had the scarpa resoled, but I couldn’t get them to fit. I figured I would have the Scarpa VS as a back up shoe, but I ended ho wearing them as my main. I sold the solutions. The sole on the Scarpa is now about 60% done and am thinking about next steps. A new shoe sounds interesting, but resoling the Scarpa once again could be the better option. How many times do you resole your shoe?

I discovered this climber when he was featured on the channel mellows. In this video he opens a new 8c+ maybe 9a in the ourals. Subtitles are available.

Is Janja Garnbret the greatest athlete in any sport?

I was planning on getting a new pair tomorrow but I'm going to Italy in a week for vacation. Should I wait to get them there?

Genius ?

It is actually pretty decent in comparison with some other games that've attempted bouldering or climbing mechanics.

So... it happened again at my gym today. I witnessed a girl break her arm while climbing.. A good reminder of the inherent risks of bouldering. Even with those huge mats a bad landing can still lead to some serious consequences, especially for inexperienced climbers. see: How to fall safely while indoor bouldering

It got me thinking... is it possible that we've lost some of the caution that came with climbing outside, without mats?

This dude is something else and makes it look easy.

I'm living in North Bay currently and have been climbing for more than 10 years now. There isn't a gym in North Bay which sucks because I come from Hamilton where Gravity climbing gym is located and that place was my second home. I met my wife there and we moved up here to North Bay. To satisfy the craving we've started making our own outdoor bouldering spots! there is literally tonnes of them up here. go on a hike almost anywhere and you can find some potential spots. We found a super sweet one today and knocked down a dead tree to make it safer and i got a first ascent barefoot on a super crimpy v6 (im calling it a v6). Any other Ontario climbers here? or more specifically northern Ontario? would love to hear from some of you! and just to make more discussion do any of you climb barefoot?

What is your favorite climbing movie ?

I really like the summit of the gods

Figured I would get some discussion started here unless there is a more populated climbing community somewhere?

My goal this season is to send Graveyard Shift in the Gunks. Stretch goal is Carbs and Caffeine.

How about you?
