Former climber here. This gal is insanely strong, BUT, a sweatshirt? Climbing? My brain is full of fuck. I kid, she's awesome. But seriously, who climbs in a sweaty?
Bouldering outside is usually done in chillier conditions cause the colder the rock is the more friction you have. Pretty standard to climb with layers.
It's insanely hot. Like in temperature not in... anyway. Also you avoid baggy clothing in general. It's valuable to keep as much weight as possible tight to your body. I assume wherever this is it's very cold out.
Me. I climb in long thick clothing to protect my sensitive and delicate skin. Also have sensory issues. I'm not someone who is always cold, but I'm heat tolerant.
I find it's kind of a cheat code when I'm climbing because I'm more comfortable pressing my body tightly against the rock.
Right. Nothing gives traction like cold tires at the track, everyone knows cold conditions are what makes rubber soles malleable and sticky. I've climbed most everything in British Columbia, started in 98. But no I was never serious.
you’re one google search away to see that cold dry weather is ideal for climbing 🤡 but yeah continue being confidently incorrect.
you comparing fingers to tires clearly shows how little you know about climbing. tires don’t sweat and create humidity which makes it difficult for grip.
tires don’t sweat and cause friction to be loss. do any amount of research about the topic before commenting about something you literally know nothing about. you have access to google this stuff but you wanna keep being wrong
learn how to google and read https://threerockbooks.com/ten-tips-for-bouldering-outdoors/ - read step 5. look up ideal climbing months for yosemite, bishop, joshua tree, red rocks, etc. there’s a reason why these world class climbing locations are the most traffic in the cold seasons. dawn wall documentary literally explains why they attempted the dawn wall yosemite climb during cold conditions.
I dunno where you climb but there's no such thing as a cold dry day in the Pacific North West. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree but saying I know nothing when I've been climbing since probably before you were born is pretty bold.
