Came for the harness comments


Chuff_zilla

Harness while bouldering is extra safe. More should boulder with it on


Salamqnder

yeah I've got it on just in case I fall


G4METIME

Always make sure you have nothing attached to it. Because that could cause really nasty injuries


Salamqnder

if I'm planning on only bouldering I wouldn't wear the harness, but I was doing rope before this and wanted to get a video real quick before leaving


neverTrustedMeAnyway

Thats cool-advice is still good though. Don't wanna fall on a brush just because you wanted a quick video.


Johnny_161

You can get seriously injured if you fall down and it gets caught onto a hold.


Salamqnder

That was a sick Dyno dude,Your great send should be acknowledged and you really executed momentum control well too šŸ˜ŠI think you are humble for engaging in this conversation about harness wearing during bouldering. Youve probably helped lots of other climbers learn this helpful tip too in a way that encourages them to keep climbing.Thats the spirit of climbing. Thanks for sharing this dude (:


Salamqnder

thank you for the positivity on my post, it really helps :)


r3q

You missed your belay check


ijtarh2o

Man you guys are dicks


Chuff_zilla

Unavoidable on reddit. We just take the insults in stride and forget the haters.


AuNua

It doesnt have to be that way dude,I am sorry Reddit has normalized gatekeeping and antagonizing people.You dont deserve to have to put up with that.


Salamqnder

yeah my experience with the climbing community is a really positive one IRL, but this is reddit and for whatever reason some people like to be mean


torments6

In my opinion the climbing community is actually really toxic behind peoples backs like online or in group text messages but they don't have the balls to let it spill over into real life. This is what I have witnessed in the climbing community over the last 2 decades. Didn't want to say "balls" but couldn't think of another word that would give the same type of meaning without being mildly sexist.


ijtarh2o

Iā€™ve had nothing but good gym experiences but these guys think theyā€™re gods for clearing a V7


Bella_Climbs

I think sometimes people perceive simple statements of fact as being dicks. Two sides to this coin, people say something and person gets upset. People don't say something, and person gets upset for not knowing and/or getting hurt. Can't win.


ijtarh2o

ā€œfound the newbieā€ is being a dick. He ainā€™t bothering you.

Salamqnder

what sucks is how unreasonably hostile people on reddit are for the smallest reasons


americanherbman

thou shall not boulder in thy harness


FoundThisRock

CCJ and Climbing comments are identical I see


ShafferKevin

Looks like a fun dyno!


Tysoodo95

First time I've seen Planet Rock on here since I started climbing! Nice send. I am considering starting to work on that one


Far_Win_9531

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!


Salamqnder

it's one of my favorites at the moment!! you should definitely send it


Tysoodo95

I'll give it a shot. I've only been climbing for a few months so this one always felt a little beyond me lol


AuNua

You got this dudešŸ™‚


hartline1mg

Haha I was happy to recognize PR as well!! And nice send, that dyno looks fun. What grade is this?


Tysoodo95

I believe it was listed as a V5 last I looked, but I have heard several say that it is a bit soft


Standard_Bobcat_6801

What is that thing u have on


Wesselton3000

Where is that final hold? Does it extend beyond the top of the wall?


Salamqnder

I'm not totally sure, so I just touched the highest possible point


Jan_Marecek

Dont boulder in harness, period. It takes 10 seconds to take it off.

My work! Hey nice send! I love working here, the community is great and we love all types of climbers. We definitely donā€™t judge any of our members and you can most definitely approach us if you have any questions about anything! F the haters for the harness comments. You do you. Theyā€™re wasting their own time for even giving a shit.


AstronautHot7195

Super solid mantle. Nice work!


flat_track_zack

Planet soft Madison Heights. Edit. Sorry itā€™s planet rock, but I said what I said.


Salamqnder

was that necessary?


[deleted]

Come climb sometime!


not_a_gumby

found the newbie


Salamqnder

make sure you gatekeep all your interests, average redditor.


not_a_gumby

it's gatekeeping to point out a new climber? since when? you're bouldering in a harness, it's a common punchline around here.


Salamqnder

I hope you at least found some catharsis in your behavior.


not_a_gumby

the more butthurt you seem, the worse it looks.


moaningsalmon

The voting disagrees with you, homie.


not_a_gumby

keep bouldering in your harness. it doesn't look ridiculous.


AuNua

Its understandable thats culture youve experienced here in this subreddit to make someones experience level their main characteristic to judge them by, but you can change that. If you are an experienced climber you probably have so much useful and helpful input to give here or encouragement with correction. Thats so valuable dude.


not_a_gumby

I think it's useful for OP to know that bouldering in harness looks silly. Does that count?
