Just go climb 6 pitches of 5.7-5.9 trad and quit worrying about all those micro edges.
tape up if a lot of cracks like Veadawoo. (Sp?).

I never gym climbed a lot.
just climbed in the cold.
now, there are crowds on routes on any decent day within an hour of the front range. Apparently lines for the nicer routes. 😱

I'm a trad at heart. I got into bouldering when in school at CSU. Rotary Park is still fun. Vedawoo will get you properly adjusted in the head, or maybe crumpled at the base. I lived in MI for over 20 years and living there, you will need to train on plastic. It can be great training if you do it right. The thing is, I've climbed in many places - Canada, all over the US, Mexico, Europe. If you climb hard, you will end up on tiny edges. It's OK, your tips can get real tough. Like anything, too much is not healthy.

I had a good friend (RIP) that wrote a humor thing about the different grades of 5.11. Hint: 10+ offwidth was the hardest. I need to dig that out.
 
Is that a halo over her head or is she buffering? 🤣🤣
That's a ring light of some sort with what could be the camera blocking part of it.

You can sometimes tell if someone is using a ring light especially on video when their eyes look like this. Sometimes bugs me.

I served under him in AFG when he was a BG...and will admit I’ve been a bit concerned about some of the things I’ve seen from him over the past couple years, but this gives me renewed faith.

I gave a (very much abbreviated) version of that speech every time I reenlisted or promoted folks...been retired a few years now and believe (hope) that sentiment still holds true for our brothers and sisters in arms.

That’s nuts! Even after seeing and comprehending the black (poodle?) coming towards the camera, I still see the man running.

The only thing that looked like a dog to me at first is the ‘white lab‘ (made of snow) up in the upper left side of the pic. LOL
 
You gotta luv a sporting gal in public…confidence that doesn’t mind giving some special enjoyment… 😉🤙. And only the women that understand that “game” don’t worry about what anybody else thinks about it, very special. And somewhat rare, on occasion I’ve been privileged to view such a sight in public, every one of them remembered because they are far and few between. 🤙
Mine knows about that "game". All the fun to be had.
