It's like Rick and Morty the first two seasons. It's...okay for lazy entertainment, but the fans are so cringe they feel superior by watching a show almost everyone did back then.... bouldering's okay. You go there, bring no one, or at most one-two buddies, talk to no one, do your routes, stretch afterwards, and leave. No need to feel snob for being able to do what a 2 months old ape can.

He did. Alot of boulder fags act like fucking snobs because they can do the most basic fucking activity that pretty much all primates specifically evolved for. Its a jungle gym for adults. It does not take skill, just big forearms and an indifference to heights. The most difficult decision they gave to make is what hold to put their hand/foot on next and yet they pretend like they're the greatest underappreciated athlete in the existence of human history.

Humans didn't evolve to climb. We evolved to run you retarded gay. And your argument is fucking stupid anyway. Should we no longer consider sprinters athletes? Or long distance runners? Or swimmers?

I've been bouldering for 2 years now. It doesn't affect gains that much. Even on the days I go full out for hours on end I barely feel anything the next day (I also lift and row, people who are inactive will feel it thou).
Also the people doing it are pretty based imo. Everyone is really friendly and happy, even the first time I went a shitton of people engaged in conversation with me. Most people are there to just have fun.
People saying bouldering is easy is just retarded. If it's easy just take a more difficult route. probably was doing the 3a and 3b routes for kids.
It's also just a really fucking good date idea. Never have I had a bad first date since I started bouldering.

No its not in this case. For whatever reason all city climbing gyms are super progressive. The one I go to has inclusivity night twice a month so trannies can auto belay with their balls out and feel safe. Once again something masculine and chad like climbing has been subverted by the left. In addition to being pro lgbtqia+ there is an atmosphere of enlightened snobbery because somehow climbing around around on a fake rock wall makes you more socially conscious and ethically aware of the environment.
>Young professionals
Would be teachers and social workers with smelly blond dreadlocks and unwashed children running around. Square as shit establishment liberals. The people in Heidelberg and Darmstadt, where I went bouldering from time to time, were insufferable. And I studied in Heidelberg and lived there for years, still very condensed eurotrash in these bouldering halls.

sort of, conservatives win the elections but there is a lot of bouldering types
it's kinda like lifting weights or riding a bike. it's a personal sport which you can do with other people, but really only a niche group cares about over-achieving and being competitive. Bragging about these makes you obnoxious to most people, bouldering people tend to brag more. Probably due to the perceived superiority that their peers have never climbed a wall
Like trips of truth said the sport itself is fun but the people are mostly cringe. Usually its your standard millennial progressive crowd that are trying to be more outdoorsy. Think a cross-section of wannabe hippie young urban tech professionals and most rarely climb outside. Kinda easy to troll for pussy though.
Yep. Climbing community is unnecessarily elitist but the elitists are the gays that have zero credit to their name. Every gym is filled to the brim with urbanite retards that haven't touch an actual rock in ten years
Bouldering is fun as hell, use the gym to practice and maybe make like 2-3 Boulderbros who have their own crash pads and then just go outside, that shits way better.
>wanted to start doing this because my grip is really bad and it seems like a decent way to train it with high time under tension >apparently it's cringe >wife thinks I'll fuck sloots if I go to a bouldering gym >costs money
Farmer's walks and deadhangs it is, I guess
why do so many people here shit on bouldering and its enjoyers? is it because youre fat lazy pieces of shit who do the bare minimun and anything past that is offensive?
rock climbing is one of the most fun and rewarding activities but also amazing for health and fitness. >requires you to be low body fat and have at least some strength >improves muscles that arent trained in the gym >gives you great forearms, shoulders and core muscles >promotes unique movement and improves mobility and flexibility
you guys sound like you went to a climbing gym once, failed on a v2 jug ladder because youre fat, fell off the wall and hurt ur ankle and got mad because you dont have drive to improve.
anyone who does any activity in aim of getting women are low tier betas dont insult me with that
no one really shitting on the activity. the community makes it shit and you're proving it right now
what? the community that they dont know anything about? people read that some climbing gyms are liberal and think the entire community is comprised of communist far left skinny bald dudes and overweight women they orbit, shut up gay
16 clean pull ups at 230lbs, 6'5 you seething dyel

replace overweight women with unshaved armpit vegan 4/10 dykes and you're right on the money
possible, but im skeptical considering the globohomo's effect on every other niche i've observed.

I've been to several boulder gyms now and the people I saw tehre are either > basedboy lanklet that is climbing good because he is slim > obvious BPD/daddy issue girl > muscular leftist with dreads and some anti-right shirt > Jacked IST bro who is not that good because he is heavy > Cardiobunny > Newbie-Friends of any of above
Though people really are quite friendly, it is not the community for me. Going with your group of friends as a fun activity is pretty nice.
each to their own and im glad you enjoy it with friends but why should the community matter? if you dont enjoy the actual activity thats fine but the community shouldnt put you off like you dont have to talk to anyone and can work up to climbing outdoors alone or with friends
it will affect your gains by making you more aesthetic in the core, rear delt, upperback and forearm muscles and wont really affect lifts at all unless you arent eating and sleeping enough to recover, it shouldnt even tax your grip too much unless you do a load of juggy overhangs in 1 session without rest
just give it a go and see if you enjoy it man, its a beautiful activity
Are people really calling gym climbing bouldering now? If so, what do these people call bouldering now? Do they lump it all together so we cannot tell one rock climbing genre from the other?

Based if true. If he were an actually good climber, he would have known two things
>Climbers are not the only people who can do pullups >Not everyone's fitness goal is to optimize his body for specifically rock climbing
Based on his attitude and unimpressive pullup max, I'd say he's one of those climbers who's been doing it for years and still can't find his way up anything above V3.
Climbers also come in ALOT of different shapes and most non-pro climbers can do certain routes better than others. I've done a few 7a's and a 7b. But theres this one 6a I just keep failing. It's a very long route with alot of overhead so no place to rest. I carry a bit too much mass for the strenght I have. While climbing partner is a 1m60 girl that weighs 44 kg and j
ust flashes that shit every fucking time, just to taunt me.
Be very careful with your grip, stay away from crimp and fingertip hangs, no matter how strong you are. It's so easy to injure your hand tendons and it takes very, very long to heal.
I know because I started jumping those ladders and injured my tendon pulley, it hurt for 5 months.
Ive been outdoors ~20 times and have only had a good time and climbed well twice
Either the people are weird or everything hurts or the routes busy or no sleep etc
Can't seem to figure it out but I'll keep you posted
Reminder that "diversity" really just means "not white". If you wanted a "diverse" dance program you'd have lots of dance forms and one being "white European " would not be a reason to drop it, as that would make your offerings less diverse.
I honestly don't give a shit about ballet. This only affects women.
Although I do find ballerinas hot. They remind me of that russian girl from space brothers.
I went climbing (lead or top rope) in a climbing gym and hour later went doing my regular routine and I could match the intensity (feeling like I'm gonna puke at the end of workout) with same weights as non-climbing days. So take that as you will .
Only met one boulderer and he talked about “ABDL Pride” and would shit himself while wearing a diaper so I’d say based
Matthew?
the sport based, the people doing it mostly cringe
Care to elaborate? In my country (Germany), the sport is done mostly by young professionals with academic background
It's like Rick and Morty the first two seasons. It's...okay for lazy entertainment, but the fans are so cringe they feel superior by watching a show almost everyone did back then.... bouldering's okay.

overhang, cave climbing kings one might say

Never seen so many trannies in my life before I started bouldering
excellent exercise currently besieged by onions
What are the limits? Seems it wouldn't do much climbing the same wall and segments.
the routes are reset every couple weeks and theres always a higher grade to climb, especially if you go outdoors
All the people that I know that do it are cool people and absolutely addicted to this
climbing is fun but Im not a fan of the routes where you have to obliterate your fingers by smashing them into a hole just to get a decent hold
anon that just means you have bad technique, definitely bad footwork and body positioning
