The speed wall is more difficult than you think. Most average climbers would not make it to the top. That also makes it a waste of a lot of wall space in a commercial gym which serves mostly average climbers unfortunately.

Coaches get to stay with athletes in iso until the competition starts, but can’t go out and back in again. They are also not allowed to shout any advice while the athletes are climbing.

Exactly that. They have to go into isolation a few hours before the start of the session. Isolation means no internet/bluetooth/outside contact in an area with warm up equipment. They then have 5 minutes to “read” the boulder and climb it.

In the finals it is different and they get a 2 minute shared observation per boulder before they start. But they are still in iso while the others are climbing.

Unoccupied land is otherwise called “nature” and is quite useful for a lot of things.

I am dutch and I have never heard of this issue/myth. Even tour de grance cyclists manage to have kids just fine after 20 years of full time cycling, so I wouldn’t worry.

I think you need to talk to more than one girl about that… really depends on the procedure, your sensitivity down there and the competence of the gynaecologist. I’ve been to appointments that were fine and I’ve been there near crying from pain…

Where’s the garlic bread?

Iceland?

Yes, Nijmegen got hit almost as bad as Rotterdam (the worst bombing by the germans) and that was also because of allied forces thinking they were flying over germany. It was the 80 year memorial a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, more than a few people died in Nijmegen.

Finally sunny and dry enough to go for a nice long bike ride. Afterwards probably playing Factorio for the rest of the evening/night/morning.

Building a dam in a stream and forming a little lake. Then opening the dam and making a tidal wave.

Thanks! This is the post that made me decide to put down my phone for the night. Wish me luck!

Catalyst climbing on youtube with coach louis has helped me a lot with the mental side of climbing! He also has some nice drills (the three warm up drill video is great) that help you make easy climbs more interesting. I use them a lot now that I have a shoulder injury preventing me from trying difficult stuff for a while.

Sounds bad for the environment

It is grim, but the average does not tell the whole story. From what I understand, it extends the life of several patients for a long time, with 4x more patients surviving three years after diagnosis. The average is low because, just as with most cancer drugs, it only helps a percentage of the patients.

Human variation means you can be a male with a natural “male” wide pelvic bone. When determining the sex of human skeletons, they use a whole array of measurements besides just the width of the pelvis and still get it wrong sometimes. Unless you have other indications or feel you might be a different gender than you present as, you have nothing to worry about.

Thank you for not being the annoying guy trying to hit on girls 🙂
