I can climb the pink one in the corner aty gym, 4 months of climbing and a football coach for 4 years.

A friend of mine has these loafers and I feel that they could be good for climbing. I'm a beginner looking for my first pair of shoes, just indoor for now. These don't seem much different than climbing shoes, nice and snug (I'll downsize -3) and with some good grip for heel hooks. How would these work out?

Can’t believe this is a real post. It’s getting harder and harder to tell what’s satire and what isn’t

Heard about some Chad's who decided they were too tired to climb out of a crag, so got a military rescue instead. Am I a Gumby for getting out on my own??

if I took a muscle relaxer before climbing would that be anti-aid? or are muscles aid and therefore Id be basically at 0?

im going on a trip with a few friends pretty soon and i wanna out climb them all im fairly certain that ill outclimb most of them however theres 2 ex gymnasts that are raising some concern lmfao im just trying to figure out what grade would put me comfortably into a "theres no way they can just flash that" situation

for example my gumby friend was planning his route before climbing it

I told him that he had aids and that only a true chad onsights their routes

aita?

I'm always hearing how onsite climbing is the best and how Madam Honda is always onsiting this and that but not all of us can just go around the world climbing. Is there a way to cfh (climb from home)?

I'm interested in free soloing Silence and B.I.G., ideally the same day, I can spare a couple hours per week for this. Also on weekends I have more time perhaps I can repeat the Dawn Wall solo if I can pause for meals and bathroom breaks

Hi, new climber here

I'd been painting my house recently using a ladder (climbing) which really inspired me to try out climbing. I googled a climbing gym near me and turned up yesterday (admittedly without doing much research!) wearing my normal gym kit (shorts and a vest).

I was sort of surprised to see that everyone else there was naked and I was getting a lot of strange looks and some side comments from people muttering about "aid". After a while the manager came up to me saying that there had been some complaints and asked me to leave but didn't really give me a reason.

Is it acceptable to wear clothes at your climbing gym, or is it considered bad or unusual.

Would appreciate any advice, thanks!

Tryna climb el cap next month how many bottles of supplemental oxygen should i bring? Any recommendations for oxygen masks or regulators? Is this aid?

Ok so two moves route setters should use especially on vb-v4 is the chin hang and the tooth crimp. these climbs are getting so damn easy they need to do better, terrible route setters only putting jugs on climbs
