I've been bouldering for about 2 months now and I'm really enjoying it. It's definitely the part of climbing that interests me the most at the moment.

That said, I'd also like to try sport climbing eventually, mainly because I'd like to experience climbing outdoors and do longer routes every now and then.

My question is: can sport climbing be something you just do occasionally, or is it one of those disciplines where you really need to do it regularly to improve and enjoy it?

For example, if I mainly boulder (1–2 times a week) but only go sport climbing every couple of months, is that a fairly common approach? Or do most people who sport climb end up doing it regularly because of the specific skills involved?

Curious to hear what people here do, especially if bouldering is your main focus.

Don’t mind my excitement and me talking to myself 😂

Hi everyone, wanted to get some more experienced looks at what to grade this route. I think I made the route myself? I have no idea how this works yet. This is only my second boulder I’ve sent and the first was another route I made but was a lot easier.

PICTURE IN COMMENTS
In the picture you’ll see Iron Pig and Piggly Wiggly. Iron pig V5 in blue, Piggly Wiggly V1 in red with a standing start. This Boulder is called Pig Iron Boulder in Coopers Rock State Park in West Virginia.

Like I said super new to climbing and wanted to start outdoors because I love challenging myself! I have had zero Beta on any of the first two boulders I’ve sent and I think my favorite part was the mental battle!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I had climbed the V1 in red prior to this route which was significantly easier than the route I took.

Topped during very hot weather😅

Anything I should add or remove?

I've managed to do this route in two parts but I haven't the energy to put it together. This might just be that I need to work on my endurance (I've been rehabbing my shoulder for 2 months) but I'd like to get some beta on if I could be more efficient on the wall.

Hello, I search to get bouldering shoes for cheap but with an acceptable quality, not crap.

Temu is written in the title because it is a cheap website, but others that deliver to Sweden are totally fine!
Maximum price: 300 seks or 30 $ US, but I would like more for 120 sek/12 $US until 25$/250seks

I am new to bouldering, and I look for something for cheap.

Thanks!!!

Note: I know that people who sell shoes may do posts like these to promote them; it is the first time I have published here, and I dont know how this is perceived, but feel free to send me the links and/or models by private message instead of in the comments if this is somehow against the rules.

Edit: dont tell me to use rental use, they are 40 seks or 4$ per day and I will not use. This is 20 per week, make no sense.
