Had some mild finger injury, wondering if I should tape my fingers or just rest for a couple days?

I’ll probably try to climb something easy tomorrow and see how it goes…

Which one of you gumbies forgot to check out of your hotel?

Just trying to save money on a standard dirtbag bivy before my dawn patrol session on the local kindergarten retaining wall (V2 in your gym). Some local Karen is trying to spray beta about "security." Is public urination aid?

Serenity Crack (5.10d X)

Who ever thought the first pitch of serenity could take any pro is absurd. I climbed this and didn’t get any gear in until I was 40-60 feet up since the “pockets” couldn’t take my hexes or ball nuts. The red circle is where the “supposed” first placement is but it’s closer to a prolapsed anus than a flaring pin scar. I took it upon myself to put in some necessary bolts on the first two pitches so they could actually be safe (p1 15, p2 10) and also chipped in a foot on the crux because there is no way that goes at 10d with feet like that. I hope everyone enjoys this NEWLY safe route and accurate route, you’re welcome. If you want to help in making routes safe and accessible, you can send money to my PayPal in my bio.

V0/V1 outside of my apartment

Claimed the FA of this boulder outside of my apartment. I chose the harder of the two lines. I’d rate it a solid V0/V1, lots of jugs. The crux was definitely the bump at the end. I’d give it 2 stars but I wish the routesetters would refresh this wall as it’s been the same for a while.

Also release the Megos files.

Gym bro flexing on me again, walked up my proj...

This gym bro just walked up on my V2 proj and started flexing on me by licking my legs. How do you deal with this kind of behavior. I'm sick and tired of stronger climbers doing this - that don't impress me.

Blunder of Dreams / V-Easy

A hold fell in front of the boulder, decided to downgrade it from V17 to V-Easy after session flashing the climb

Are big boobs really a disadvantage?

A female coworker knows that I like bouldering so she asked me if I could take her with me as she wanted to try it too.

After an hour of bouldering we got stuck at a slab problem where you have nothing to grab onto at the start, only press yourself into the wall and find your balance. However, she said she couldn't do it because her big boobs got in the way.

I told her that I doubt such a thing holds you back at that level (V1). She then came really close to me and pressed her boobs into me telling me "Imagine you are the wall, look how much space there is between us". Weird excuse but ok. She also showed a big cleavage, maybe it wouldn't have been so disadvantagous if she wore a bra with better compression. Her overall outfit was weird anyway, really tight short shorts and then a kinda-sports-bra that barely held anything together. Like how can you move like that?

After the session she asked if I wanted to get drinks and then go to her place. She does yoga for her main sport and said "Now it's my turn to show you some moves". However, after seeing her "moves" on the wall I obviously declined.

Tender a2 pulley

I went climbing outside last Sunday and Monday morning I woke up with a tender A2 pulley. I can’t feel any bowstringing and I can still crimp hard without any pain. I only get pain when I squeeze the tendon. In 1 week I am going on a sport climbing trip I’ve been training for. What should I do?
