What is your favourite type of climb?
Overhang, slab, dynos what do you like the most? Personally I like variety and a nice long route (if on rope) with balance focused movement and some try hard moves on a roof. I also love climbing on aretes!! What about y’all?

@Caleb Williams yeeeeaaah buddy, we love a slabby climb. Tight, delicate balancy moves with small holes and sketchy feet?? What’s not to love!

@Elsa Carrillo I love slab, but haven’t had much experience with Aretes! Overhangs are fun though, the adrenaline really starts pumping!

Climbing Friends / Partners!
How did you find you climbing friends or partners? I get asked this question all the time. I met a lot at the gym, convinced friends and family to come with me and dragged any existing friends in as well haha. How did ya'll meet your climbing homies?

I met my climbing partner at work. I was contracted to work with a new agency and set up a Teams call to meet their team. During the call someone asked what I do for fun, and when I said climbing this guy popped up out of no where and went “You climb!?!? We should go together sometime!” And that was it. We’ve met a bunch of friends since then at the gym, and have grown our little circle. I love how friendly and chill the climbing community is.

ending a boulder problem in indoor gyms
In Singapore/Asia in general, we end a climb by matching our hands on the last hold. I heard that in gyms in the US, people end their climbs by matching and holding the top of the wall? I saw a Canadian guy doing that in my gym and I was wondering what he was doing haha. How do you usually end your boulder climbs in your gyms?

@Ed Struble I’m kind of on board with you here. My gym has two locations and at both you can top out over the wall, but their first (and OG) location the last ‘hold’ is the top edge of the wall which they mark with a box of coloured tape. I definitely see a lot of people skipping moves to practically dyno it, and I’ve totally done it too when I’m gassed or scared.

Hi! I'm Lauren. My home gym is in Richmond, VA. My favorite outdoor bouldering crag is Stone Fort (near Chattanooga). My favorite sport crag is Reed's Creek in West Virginia. I am finally giving myself permission to be great at climbing. 💪❤️

Sent a v4 project finally
Managed to complete a v4 I've been working on for 3 weeks and the part that was giving me the most issues was the final hold 😅 was a nice mix of basics with a small Dyno, dead point grab into a bump up to the final hold with the key being holding tension with my right foot into weight manipulation to match on the final hold
