What shoes does everyone rock!?
These were my main shoes last year, but I used to wear Vapor’s for the first 5 or so years indoor and outdoor! Left to right TC pros (for crack climbing) 5.10 mocsassains (slip on warm up/ chill shoes) Skwamas (my try hard shoe) I’ve been using unparalleled Quincy’s for the last 5 or so months and really liking them too. Curious what everyone else is wearing??

I just got unparalleled souped up and I’m liking them so far. They are my first pair of aggressive shoes so it’s taking a while to get used to

How did you start climbing 🤔
I always love asking people this story, curious what got you all in this crazy world!! **I asked this question about a month ago when we had 40 members but now that we have 125!!!! I want to ask again. Original post - https://www.skool.com/next-grade-academy/how-did-you-get-introduced-to-climbing?p=82d7ed18

My uncle visited from New Zealand and took me climbing in 2019. I decided it was my new favourite sport and forced my dad to do a belaying course at my gym so I could climb. I’ve been climbing pretty inconsistently since then but last year I started NICAS level 3 which is a climbing qualification in the uk and I’m now learning to lead climb!!

@Mike Vert Level 1&2 are learning to climb and belay. Level 3 is more about technique and belaying with different devices. I’m now doing level 4 which is learning to lead climb. I had to belay my coach and catch a few falls which was a bit scary because he is a fair bit bigger than me haha

Rebecca intro!!!
Heyyy, I climb at transition extreme in Aberdeen, Scotland. A new bouldering gym is opening in summer which will give me new and fun problems to try. I’m excited to learn new techniques that I can use to climb more efficiently and harder grades. I mostly climb on top rope and a bit of lead (6b is the hardest I've done) my goal is to climb a 6c on lead with no falls, and overall just better technique!
