Mineral Collection hand training

I currently climb V17 comfortably, but to bring my climbing to the next level I have thought of an innovative training program.

I have acquired an extensive mineral collection (over 2000 pieces) and they make really good crimps and pinches.

Every day I do 10 repetitions of crimps and pinches of every single piece in the collection, followed by standing barefoot and doing 10 pistol squats on the most pointy corner of each. It takes me about 6h so I can only squeeze in two sessions including some rest in between.

However I feel like this is not really bringing me to my maximum potential, despite already doing the exercises shirtless.

Do you have any suggestions on how I could optimise my training protocol? I was thinking to expand the collection to seashells, so add some variety and training for more marine environments but I am not sure it is the move that will unlock V18 for me.

I don’t understand when people get so upset when the boulder they just sent the First Ascent gets downgraded.

The downgrade is clearly the grade to get DOWN the rock, while the normal grade is to go up.

I don’t understand why people get so fussy about it.

Am I missing some context here?
