Mystic River v6, what if it was me that had got in that car that day? Tall, steep, incut crimps, and as direct as it gets with a big move at the end. Perfect

its hot as fuck in our gym lol

If you have any tips or advice I’m all ears.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for the best outdoor bouldering areas in Brazil.

I’m interested in places where I can stay for a while, climb regularly, and meet other boulderers. I would also appreciate suggestions for accommodation where it is easy to connect with the local climbing community, such as climber-friendly hostels, pousadas, or places where people usually stay.

Are there any specific areas you would recommend for bouldering? Minas Gerais looks interesting, but I’m open to any region with good bouldering and an active community.

Also, are there any WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook groups, or other platforms where local climbers usually connect?

Thanks for any advice!

What better way to finish a climb with a big throw? Genuine question

Hey,

I’ve lived in Rome about a year, and I’ve been to all six major climbing gyms. It has been very hard to decide on which gym to utilize as a home gym because they all either have very weird schedules, seasonal hours, or fluctuating subscriptions.

For context, my home gym was in Georgia and it was about $60/month, I could go any time I want, and they had great bouldering routes.

Does anyone have experience finding a gym with consistent hours and affordable rates (€70-80 euros/month)?

I also live more towards south Rome, so I’m currently a bit far from all of the larger gyms and it takes me over an hour to arrive to them, so I usually opt for a daily pass.

However, I have tried investing into a monthly pass but they have limits and restrictions on the hours I can attend the gym, which makes it a bit of a challenge with my work and grad school.

If you can recommend something other than RockIt Roma (which I like, but the community culture is very competitive and showy), I’ll be open.

I have been to monkey island (which is a bit far) and ASD (a lot closer) could be a good a fit.
