I was a part of a few climbing gyms for a while...
What i gathered from it is that climbing stuff is fun. Maybe i'm just unlucky, but i feel like ive been met with a lot of annoying people. Or maybe im just projecting...but honest to god climbing people feel so annoying sometimes.
niche fitness activities that usually require memberships attract a lot of narcissistic homosexuals. gotta wade thru a lot of shit to find the gold worth interacting with
I’ve enjoyed climbing every time I went but do people really just show up alone to these? I enjoy the gym but no one talks to me there (ideal), will people randomly strike up conversations?
I usually go with friends but I've gone alone plenty of times. Usually if I'm working on the same bouldering problem as somebody else then one of us will strike up a conversation and we'll try to figure it out together. There's an unspoken etiquette to it though, you can only do this with people who are a similar ability to you and working on the same problem, unsolicited advice is generally not appreciated.
People who go alone and use auto belays or boulder walls often take turns on each lane. Because climbing is much more technical and open ended there's a sincere reason to start conversations. When standing around its easy to ask people what their techniques are get some pointers or stuff. Small talk may ensue from there.
shit hand strength, overweight, can't even do a pullup.
Looks like my post hit home lol
>there are adults that get exercise by doing a functional training method
Why so mad?
>functional training method
Lol is this the cope you're going with? There is a higher chance a 400lb bench press will come handy lifting a 400lb object off of you opposed to you ever finding yourself in a scenario where you need to climb some vehicle structure to save your life.
Just admit it. You never grew out of playing on a "jungle gym"
nice dubs >"i'm so grown up i can bench press 400lbs and post about it on IST to children!"

Buddy you literally fetishized "growing up" and unironically think people 18 and up are "children". That's all we need to know about your maturity
cool. stay in your nice safe gym. leave the climbing to the people who can handle a little danger. It's alright, lil buddy.
Lol we both know the only climbing you will be doing is indoors with a padded mat below you and a rope around your waist with some equally homosexual twink on the other side making sure you don't "huwt ur wittle knee"

No one here wants a turn with your gf buddy.

moron
Here's the thing, I have fun playing soccer, playing volleyball, going skiing, and lifting weights.
I've tried climbing, wasn't all that great. Don't get the appeal. Power to you though.
>lead/belayed climbing >bouldering is gay
I have no respect for the cope climbers in the nearby gyms, they're weak as frick and always impressed by my gumbie bouldering.
But maybe that's because only children, old people and soibois climb top rope or lead in my area while actively competing athletes do bouldering and absolutely destroy me, so my view is probably extremely skewed.
Keep doing it and eventually you won’t be scared anymore lol. Don’t listen to other reply I think lead is worse for beginners even though it’s a controlled descent when you’re at the top and you look down at how high you are, it definitely fricks with you more then the height for bouldering.
get good at tying knots and always tie your own for climbing, gives a psychological advantage like folding your own parachute, stuff like that, confidence to never get fricked over by someone
you have to accept that you will fall. when you do just make sure no ones under you (usually there isn’t cause of bouldering etiquette and rules) and when you land fall backwards, bending your knees aka dont let your legs take the full brunt, immediately go into a squat position and fall backwards onto your butt
-t someone who used to go to the gym but now boulders cause it’s more fun and rewarding
Yeah, it's very fun to do but there is a lot of smug elitism to it. Just go to a climbing gym with an auto belay, you don't have to interact with people unless you want to.
Factual statement, but no idea why. Climbing/hiking just seems to be a leftist kinda thing where I’m from so most people who do it are troons and lesbians.
Wrong. I'm a weightlifter and, since I was already strong, flexible and had good coordination, I picked up climbing so fast that some of the climbers hate me.
she's on the last hold, you don't go much higher than that if bouldering indoors and the fall area is padded. just stay away from dynos and you won't end up like that chink in the video.
Bunch of homosexuals itt. If you like climbing, then go climbing. If you like lifting, then lift. Do what’s fun and serves your purposes. It’s all fitness at the end of the day.
for any guy being scared shitless of climbing indoors now, just land on your ass on crashpads, it's actually a good precaution vid, not something to be afraid of, literally 0.0001% injury
I was just considering climbing these past few days, but after seeing this vid I think I'll just stick to calisthenics forever, literally the most sane kind of exercise. >no weights above your head to squash your neck or ribcage >can't get teeth swiftly removed by your "sparring partner" >can't drown >can't fall from stupid heights
The worst calisthenics has to offer is joint injury that can be easily avoided by doing some warm-up.
Climbing would be great if it wasn't a sport utterly dominated by the most opinionated, sniveling snot-nosed, shitlib insufferable homosexuals imaginable.
At least heavy weightlifting filters these tards out hardcore. I've never met a single person who can bench more than 2 plates that's more left of center and at least a little bit racist and sexist.
Same shit with hiking and mountain biking. Absolutely infested with lefty shitheads.
My local climbing gyms has an LGTB+ climbing group on Fridays for literally everyone except men. I mean literally anyone except cis men.
Luckily I live in a uni-town so the (commercial) climbing gym isn’t just a lefty campus there’s dudebros and normal people aswell. But the lefties are insanely grating
If you're even mildly good at acting, just walk up like you normally would and start getting pissed off when they try to deny you and accuse them of being transphobic.
I think it's because climbing and other adjacent "outdoorsy" activities are packaged as accessible bite sized recreational activities. The more niche hard-core you go the less likely you'll encounter limp wristed urnabites.
If you've got no experience rock climbing you're going to make a fool of yourself. Especially around other guys who will be outclimbing you in every way. Don't do it.
>I'm terrified of falling
I can't imagine a climbing session where I don't fall. Nobody notices if you fall.
>or making a fool out of myself
They set V0 boulder routes that are easier to climb than ladders. If you have any experience weightlifting or in any other sport, you'll pick up climbing quickly.
>but she's cute.
She likes you. She literally asked you on a date at a place where she can wear pink leggings and a sports bra.
Also, this fat troony

I’ll ask her when’s a good time to go with her next week. I figured there was some interest from her since she waves at me when I arrive at the gym and she plays with her hair while staring into my eyes while I chat with her.
>’m terrified of falling or making a fool out of myself
Perfect is boring. she doesn't give a shit if you have climbing skills, she cares that you're fun to be around and uninhibited. So just have fun climbing
id like to climb but its a 20 minute drive to the any of the three closest establishments (they arent gyms buttholes) and literally all three of them are woke
climbing is so fun
everyone talks to eachother and just wants everyone to do their best
most importantly pretty much everyone is ottermode and attractive as hell
then on weekends you go out with them and climb rocks outside and shit
it's great
for people who make a hobby of falling off cliff faces and dying they sure were pussies about covid. Went to a gym all of once - they didn't go the full distance and, say, actually disinfect the climbing walls after each climb, but the homosexuals sure were seething about my mask being below my nose. Bunch of performative queers.

only skinny people are good at climbing
Nah you just can't be a weakling. I'm 200~ and do fine.

Wrong. Strong people are good at climbing.
not really, you just need enough upper body and grip strength

Yeah, adults shouldn't be allowed to do things they enjoy.

I love dialating into a bucket, whisking the viscous mess of stringy blood and pus, and slurping it down in great big gulps daily btw.
Say that to my face fricker not online and see what happens
me mum was climbing trees till she was 55
dude I did that a shit when I was 9 or 8. Its so fricking gay and lame lol
so you got fat?

Yeah this kills the gymcell. I fell and broke my foot. Biggest gain goblin of my life.
climbinggays are the most insufferable basedboys in the "fitness" community, without question, beyond even crossfitters
anyone who doesn't do the same as us is a basedcuck librel, simple as
Correct. Just look at the elitist response to someone who is interested in getting into the hobby:
>"bouldering is gay and wrecks your knees anyways"
Such massive homosexuals on par with vegans/crossfitters. This guy is definitely vaxxed
cool. stay in your nice safe gym. leave the climbing to the people who can handle a little danger. It's alright, lil buddy.
grow up, both of you. Hysterical b***hes lmao
>fetishizes growing up
>is now telling random people to grow up
What mental illness is this? Let me guess, you're going to tell me to grow up lol
Yeah, it's very fun to do but there is a lot of smug elitism to it. Just go to a climbing gym with an auto belay, you don't have to interact with people unless you want to.
Climbing is based and also redpilled but I have a crippling fear of heights
>t. eagle scout with climbing merit badge
Why is every bouldering gym I go to filled with gays and trannies?
Factual statement, but no idea why. Climbing/hiking just seems to be a leftist kinda thing where I’m from so most people who do it are troons and lesbians.

How do you even recover from that? Will he ever be able to walk normally?
supposedly he had the foot reattached and has done rehab. i don't know what it looks like or if he walks normally though.
I'm just going to say this is cgi/ai and move on with my day
Anon posted his insta in other thread. Its real
no, it's fake
Hey I have those shoes too 🙂
Never witnessed this for myself but yes if you land with the inside of your foot instead of on the “palm” something like this can happen.
Reminds me of the old Tombraider games where you had to make these ridiculous gaps and would sometimes miss the ledge by inches and fall to your doom
Thats the worst fit injury video i've seen. No muscle tear or guy getting his neck snapped can compare. Never going climbing.
WHAT THE FRICK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
this webm actually made me not want to go climbing. it's just not worth the risk. there are other sports and outdoor activities to enjoy.
Modern bouldering is moronic, dyno and parkour shit has nothing to do with real bouldering.
Compcels should touch rock
I injure myself all the time climbing but never this bad

I miss liveleak bros
well, guess im never climbing
>when you try the 20-foot climb as an Asian but you forgot to convert to meters
They are at a gym.
I stopped climbing seriously when I saw guys weighing 130lbs and less climb my grade (~v10)
It just feels gross that I get lumped into the same group as them by proxy.

I can't pull this off since everyone at the gym knows I do antics like this.
That just means you've been trying to come out, but no one will listen. Sue them in Fed court for breaking the law.

here
had no idea IST is full of pussies
Any idea for a good Climbing + lifting Plan with a focus on climbing? I kinda struggle to come up with one.
ppl but replace pull with climbing
add some volume/isolations etc at the end as needed
include grip in push and legs
M push legs
T pull/climbing endurance
W rest
T pull + Moonboard or campus board
F push legs
Weekend outdoor climbing
Works really well for me, do cardio in the morning or at noon and stretches as you wake up or go to sleep
It's fun, but I dislike the middle class normies it attracts.
My climbing gym is a great place to look at French brunette milfs in yoga pants, yes I attend regularly
Would doing indoor climbing help with my upper body? I can't grip, hand or even do a pull up
Can confirm, still absolutely destroyed because of doing this for 2hours on monday. It's fun.
I climb and lift
Climbing actually gives you a great incentive to not be a tubby frick and get shredded so you can climb harder routes.
If Eddie can do it.
why is every man who does sports like this one super skinny and frail looking
I moved and now theres no indoor climbing within like an hour of me. It cant be that difficult to run as a business right? I should just start my own.
for people who make a hobby of falling off cliff faces and dying they sure were pussies about covid.
