Oh wow some mini hold the width of a quarter ($0.25) and then the next hold the width of three stacked credit cards is six feet above it nothing else to hold onto between the two

People who climb above V6 are some combination of lighter, stronger, more flexible, taller, more skilled, and more daring than you.
In my case it’s like every single one of those problems except “taller.” But fuck if I’m going to spend any part of my life on a hangboard just so that I can pull harder on little chunks of plastic to try and increase my sense of self-worth. Overcoming the GC-induced ennui working-class-rich modern hellscape is impossible. Why bother.

I would love to be able to rock a fucking V6+ and laugh at the other V2 or VB losers around the climbing gym.
As it stands I can barely even complete part of V4s, I can do a V2 pretty well though lmao. I tried a V6 today just to do the starting position and hold on and I could barely do that. I think my shoes are too flexible, I don't trust standing on them on tiny holds, I slip
I’m no better. I can do most of the V3s and V4s in my gym, but I’m pretty sure they’re sandbagged to shit and I don’t care to try any other gyms to find out.
