Fun balancy slab to a cool coordination catch. Committing was definitely the crux!

A few months ago, I introduced Crimpdeq to this subreddit. Today, I'm back with some exciting updates!

A few days ago, I received v3 of the PCB, which supports sampling rates of up to 1,000 Hz! For comparison, commercial force sensors like the Tindeq Progressor typically sample at 80 Hz.

The firmware and 3D-printed case have also seen significant improvements since my original post. You can check out the latest design and assembly here: Crimpdeq Assembly Guide

If you'd like to learn more about the project, check out:

• Documentation

As always, Crimpdeq is fully open-source, and feedback and contributions are more than welcome!

If you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas for improvements, I'd love to hear them!

Took him 4 days, apparently felt harder than Soudain Seul but about the same as Alphane and Mt. Doom.

I'm in Hong Kong and my best is V3. Like I did 1 time v3 and that's it. I liked banana in china because it's all till v4 max and mostly stuff around V2 so I feel like a pro there

But in Hong Kong I searched an easy gym instead it was like a Spiderman gym. Everyone throwing themselves back and forth. I see some movements in midair I didn't know it was possible. I felt like an impostor trying to do my V2 and everybody waiting me to finish so they can launch themselves

In my gym it's mostly static and everything past V2 it's impossible to grip. It requires too much finger strength and I feel like sh*t

But what do you think: it's worst to not being able to do Spiderman moves or not being able to hold because u are weak AF?

Finally, I've made my little dream come true, and I've built my own little bouldering gym. Tomorrowy, I will put up the holds and I have to admit, I'm so freaking excited about this.

I don't really know if this Reddit sub is the right place to post it, but I just want to shout it out loud in the world. I also would like to ask you if you have maybe some advice or interesting ideas that I could also apply in that room: maybe a little mini gym or some rungs, or I don't know. I'm open for everything.

Train hard, climb harder!

So there are 4 beta videos here, I’m looking for areas to focus training on. First is a second send of an easier climb for me.
Second video is in the cave, cave and over hang are my anti style. This climb is also built from one of my least favorite hold sets in the gym. Third is on my typical limit and it’s on a pretty steep section, middle few moves were tough and the throw from an awkward position being the crux. And last one is a soft high grade in a comp style, the hardest graded problem I’ve sent and was a long project with a beta break (at least the other two people I saw send it did it very differently)

Little back story. I love slab, suck at cave. Typically climb about two grades higher on slab and slight overhung walls. Coming back from an injury and want to level the playing field between styles a bit. Been climbing almost two years now so still connecting a lot of dots. Mostly in the gym but do touch real rocks sometimes, but no ropes for me. So if you see something that looks like it’s behind the other skills I use let me know. Bonus points if you’re a coach out here working for free cause you can’t get away.

found under the grand illusion cave in little cottonwood canyon wood canyon.

a note was attached to the boulder that reads “Hello, my name is Portable. I am a famous boulder from Squamish. One night I became shockingly inebriated after consuming a ball of peat moss and doing several lines of Mica powder. In the deep darkness beneath the shadow of the Chief, two figures, also shockingly inebriated, approached me. They asked me where my home was. I told them “Superfly”. In darkness I existed, for an amount of time unknown to me. When I woke, I found myself in a granite kingdom I did not recognize. Surrounded by towering walls of granite I [illegible] here, gathering stories, and watching the [illegible] around me breath (sic). But now, it is time I go home. If you find me, please take me home to Squamish! - Portable”

Went to number 8 of my project to climb in all Dutch bouldering gyms (64 total right now). This one was Beest Boulders in Rotterdam. Best one so far. Can really recommend going there. The gym is on the 7th-9th floor, great views and great setting :)

It’s my third time bouldering, and I’m really enjoying it. This was my second time try this line. But each time, I have run completely out out of strength at the exactly same spot. I’m bit confused now, should I keep trying until I can make it or should i focus on improving my physical strength first.?

I’ve also come across many different techniques on social media. I’m curious, did you all seek out specific training when you were first starting out, or did you just figure things out through trial by you? I’m considering signing up for some courses, but to be honest, I’m worried that I might not be able to afford private lessons.

Sent it right after this, but only after dusting off my pride.

Hello! I am a rock climber coming up on a year of the sport! I’ve recently been working on moves I’m not fully familiar with (running toe hook starts, coordination moves, etc.) and one that has piqued my interest is paddle dynos!

I currently climb v7 as my push/project grade, with v8’s being where I’d like to break into! With that, I found a very fun dynamic v8 in my gym that has a paddle. I’m a big fan of dynamic moves, though, I am slightly directionless on where I am making shortcomings movement-wise. Provided this video, would anyone be open to giving feedback on where I may be making mistakes or tips you may find helpful in projecting a move like this?

Thank you so much in advance! Looking forward to chatting with yall :-)

Hi! I’m stuck on the transition to the big sloper. I need to get my right hand on the sloper and switch my left hand to an under grip. So far, if I do one before the other, I fall off. But also if I do both at the same time, I fall off lol. Would really appreciate suggestions!!

... hope my ankle continues to heal
Little untouched cave out near the Ocoee River TN
hope to beat my friend for the first ascent!

Call me crazy, but I am a board fanatic, I love the difficulty of going on the board and getting a serious struggle grabbing holds, even just volume days I find so much more fun. Just trying to find other board addicts, my personal favorite is the TB1 (even though it's not the one shown) because of how hard it is.

I am 15 years old and I have only climbed at crux climbing center. I have been climbing for about 3 1/2 months and around 4-5 times a week. I can pretty consistantley climb v5s and some v6s at my gym and i just recently sent my first v7. I feel like I am progressing almost too fast so does anyone know if crux grades softer than normal? (here is the v7)

Fun double arete problem in Morrison Colorado! Cool use of toe and heel hooks and compression to get to the top.

hiya looking for people to come to with to bouldering gyms or active activities in vancouver bc and the surrounding areas (new west, burnaby, coquitlam, surrey, vancouver), just started a few weeks ago and want to find people who are looking to go once or maybe twice a week or do other active things like pickleball, trying tennis, trying basketball, volleyball, badminton, trying running etc.

still learning on V2s and V3s and have tried the occasional easy V4 so anyone in the range would be great so we can work on them together (:

I go to Hive Van, Hive Surrey, Progression or Approach

age, gender, etc. doesn’t matter - just looking for bouldering buddies ❤️ im in my twenties, if you send me your instagrams, numbers or discords i can shoot over a message.

Heading out on a roadtrip to Joshua tree for the first 2 weeks of November, curious of what the best boulders/bouldering areas are from anyone that has been there/around the area. I do have boulder project and use it religiously for outdoors although midwestern bouldering is quite mid to say the least so I fear this will be a different ball game.

I climb v7-8 indoor so not much is off the table in terms of what I will try. I will be coming from Ohio so any recs of outdoor boulders or good indoor gyms on the way are also welcome!

for those who helped me (or who care) i finally got this guy today 😮‍💨 thanks for all the tips and advice also hella people called me dude and bro in my last post lmaoo i’m a girl 😅 i just like basketball shorts
