I don't know if this is old news. I've been interested in bouldering in Sardinia, but haven't really found much information. Now I found out that a guide book from La Sportiva is freely available.

I hope you can't tell

The rope isn't that heavy

I've been shorting you

I would say that this is the coolest 7A around Helsinki (could be a 7A+). Hard and technical board-style climbing.

I'm really pleased as I just got my first V4 a few weeks ago and I've only been climbing since mid-September.

I've still got a lot of work to do to be more consistent with my V3s, more confident trying V4s, and now more open to trying V5s.

I have a pair of Scarpa VS that I have resoled once before. When I got those new I had to break them in for about two months, it was very painful but nowthey fit perfectly. I have tried Sportiva solutions in between when I had the scarpa resoled, but I couldn’t get them to fit. I figured I would have the Scarpa VS as a back up shoe, but I ended ho wearing them as my main. I sold the solutions. The sole on the Scarpa is now about 60% done and am thinking about next steps. A new shoe sounds interesting, but resoling the Scarpa once again could be the better option. How many times do you resole your shoe?

I discovered this climber when he was featured on the channel mellows. In this video he opens a new 8c+ maybe 9a in the ourals. Subtitles are available.

Is Janja Garnbret the greatest athlete in any sport?

I was planning on getting a new pair tomorrow but I'm going to Italy in a week for vacation. Should I wait to get them there?

Genius ?

It is actually pretty decent in comparison with some other games that've attempted bouldering or climbing mechanics.

So... it happened again at my gym today. I witnessed a girl break her arm while climbing.. A good reminder of the inherent risks of bouldering. Even with those huge mats a bad landing can still lead to some serious consequences, especially for inexperienced climbers. see: How to fall safely while indoor bouldering

It got me thinking... is it possible that we've lost some of the caution that came with climbing outside, without mats?
