Hey I got a rare blood disease and took medication that actually causes muscle atrophy as well as going through a course of chemotherapy last March. I could't walk up stairs and fell off of V2's when I started climbing again after like a 4 month break. But now I'm climbing V8 (7B+) solid. You can do it!

Holy shit dude that's amazing.

I've visited the World Ice Climbing Cup in France this weekend. Here are some pictures (probably, bad quality).

First, some official symbols:

Second, the construct itself. It is actually enormous. On the second picture there is a guy at the top part, you can see the scale. Also it is not as difficult as the "icicle" at Kirov (Russia) stage:

Speed climbing is one of the two disciplines. The best time among women is 10,56 seconds (men - 7,smth). In Chamonix it took 30 minutes for a leader to climb similar wall (putting ice screws every two meters and everything). I know, these things are not to be compared, but still impressive. They use special light ice axes:

And then there were "difficulty" finals. You are given 7 minutes; your route and height, you were able to climb, is what counts:

It was absolutely amazing and no words can describe my emotions. Too bad this sport is not popular and it's difficault to find similar construct to climb.

It's not about equipment, it's about people who climb. And wildlings are tough! Here are pics from Chamonix museum. Looks very old... But people were able to conquer Everest with this kind of stuff:

i recently got into bouldering. i've gone once a week for 2 months now (this is a huge commitment for physical activity from me if you know me! i'll step it up when i can) and i like it a lot. i really suck but even at once a week i feel like i'm improving and getting less out of shape. i used to get really tired from doing a few v0s and couldn't really do any v1s. i can do a bunch of v1s in a row now without getting the shakes and my general efficiency/strength/endurance all seem a lot better.

i'm starting some v2s now but i keep running into the same issue. i can do some, but on most of them i end up 'stuck' in a position where i feel like i have no leverage to get to the next hold, or it looks like it requires some burst of strength i don't have or a 'leap of faith' to advance. is this normal? it feels like i'm approaching/planning how to tackle a problem wrong conceptually and i'm just weak as shit (definitely true). do you guys have any tips for beginners trying to overcome this? i've just been throwing myself at it stubbornly. also how much more difficult is each level from the next, v0 v1 v2 v3 v4

Try to always keep arms straight. Using outside edge whenever you can makes things muuuuuuch much easier. I could climb a lot more when I started using it more frequently.

I had the hardest time going from V4 to V5. V5 to V6 and V6 to V7 was a lot easier for me. It got harder again from V7 to V8, and I've been on V8 for almost a year now.

When I started climbing two years ago I was in much the same situation where it seemed like I improved on the beginning stuff at a nice gentle rate and then hit the wall for a while at V2s. I think the way most places rate their problems, this is typical for beginners because there are certain skills and strengths you just don't have yet until you've built them up with steady (but not excessive!) practice. As someone who only ever did running and soccer with minimal upper body, it required asking my body to do things it had never done and until then wasn't even capable of. But everyone can get there by working on it!

Two things you should notice are that your ability to pull up with one arm and "lock off" with a bent elbow while you reach to the next hold is probably not what you'd like it to be, and this is a strength thing you'll just have to develop. It will become very natural once you start to get it, keep trying. The other is that your grip strength is just not that great for anything beyond ledges and jugs, and some holds will feel useless or impossible. You'll be surprised when after a few visits suddenly shit holds feel doable or even positive. This is just a process of increasing your forearm strength and your tendons/ligaments getting stronger, which takes time. I found it very helpful to attempt types of holds that were "out of reach" for my skill level, just to try and push what I was capable of. Try traversing (sideways) around without worrying about the tape on holds that challenge you, especially crimps and slopers.

While you're working on leveling up your strength, use that time on "easy" V1s to refine your technique. Pay attention to your arm extension, when and how you use your energy, how close you are to the wall, which way your hips are, and where your feet are when they aren't on a toehold. You can achieve a lot by adjusting your balance and weight distribution.

I'm still having troubles on simple slabs.
I need to develop the balance.
Also I have troubles with the tendons.
I can't climb 2 days in a row, I need at least 2 days of rest, is it ever going to get better?
I climbed yesterday, today after 3 routes I had to stop because I know my limit and then if I did more I wouldn't be able to use my hands for a week.
Maybe there are some tricks, like drink a gallon of water and inject some flaxseed oil in the rectum, or something climbers just don't talk about :D

I only need one rest day no matter how long my session is ;;
