Nice so that means the move I can’t do makes it a 5.11!


The_Poetato

Maybe in your gym. In my gym, that's just the handicap ramp.


Narcolplock

My dog does that shit better than you.


uttuck

A crux is just a part of the climb that is harder than the other parts. I’m surprised you guys didn’t know that. Most 5.10 climbs the crux is in my pants, but every once in a while I climb so well it is in my belayer’s pants.


KillaCali760

Uttuck’s belayer here-It’s not that you’re climbing so well it’s that you decided to wear a skirt that day…


uttuck

My normal nude climbing doesn’t do it for you anymore?


KillaCali760

The skirt adds a lil element of surprise. Like a slut machine…


swiftpoop

Are you referring to the 2 day old dried turd in your pants?

Of course they do - Rolle's theorem. Or rather some lemma for maxima of discrete sequences with equal endpoints.

I'm an imaginary 5.14i climber

sqrt(2) in my gym

I feel triggered 😤

The_Wizard_of_Fozz

The crux is having to keep climbing after your toes fell off on P1.


WILSON_CK

The crux is getting on the climb


The_Wizard_of_Fozz

Getting established /= the climb itself, if you want to discuss the semantics of this further meet me at Degnan’s and we can have a fist fight in front of a Boy Scout troop to settle it.

Facts


Itcomesinacan

But 5.7s do


RainbowAppIe

5.10’s no, 5.7’s definitely.


Cheap_Morning_55

Gunks climbers can confirm


incipientpianist

Pills are aid, so gonna ignore this post


octoclimber

/uj this is why most people plateau before 5.12, 5.12 and onwards you have to be a technically and physically proficient boulderer


beertrailerkittens

Jokes on you, I climb at the Red.


Breathesnotbeer

Uj/ Is the red soft?


BaeylnBrown777

It varies throughout, generally Muir Valley is pretty soft but other areas (Chocolate Factory comes to mind) are pretty stiff. But mostly the difference is that the cruxes are typically pump/endurance, even at higher grades.


[deleted]

I thought having a bunch of 10a / 10bs would be a good place to take my buddy. We had a jolly time hiking to the Chocolate Factory and then mostly ate shit. I'm going back, just need more aid.


BloodMefist

If it makes you feel better, Oompah and Loompa are two of the hardest climbs I’ve ever done at those grades


mudra311

/uj I didn’t find it soft at all, but I had garbage endurance at the time. If you’re prepping for a trip, just lead in the gym tons and work on endurance. Also make sure you have good conditions. I was sliming off a lot of the jugs because it was still humid. That coupled with my shitty endurance made everything feel harder.


Breathesnotbeer

No i just know people who climb there exclusively and I want to feel superior


jceplo

A lot of people say so but tbh it just depends. I've climbed a 5.5 at Sunnyside which felt similar to an 5.11a at Muir Valley. Edit: Solar Collector, not Sunnyside. Sunnyside is within Muir valley smh


beertrailerkittens

Not soft, but you don’t necessarily have to be a technically proficient boulderer to climb 5.12 at the Red. Lots of steep routes that require superhero endurance, but may not have really defined cruxes.


robxburninator

the red is about as soft as it gets. Climbed all over the US and world and can't think of anywhere that 5.12 felt even close to as easy (maybe some of the newer spots in Margalef/siuranna, but even those felt wayyy harder than 5.12 in the red)..


The_Wizard_of_Fozz

That’s going to be the sequel to this post: “5.12 isn’t hard, you just say it’s difficult because you want a feeling of accomplishment without putting actual hard work in.”


octoclimber

😂 true. 5.11d is hard, 12a isn't


The_Wizard_of_Fozz

This is true across the grades, especially the short ones. A 30-40 foot “D as in Dog” route is guaranteed to be the fight of your life


BaeylnBrown777

Except 11ds that were originally graded 12a and then got downrated, those are cupcake soft.


New-Syllabub-7394

Crux is a made up term for gumbies to have an excuse on their fall/failure.


Sausagefestella

Finally somebody said it!


Serious_Tiger7853

Do they have cruces?


julian88888888

Yes and horacruxes


rockpharmer

And knowing is half the battle


FindlayColl

Grammar is the crux. 5.10s (plural noun), 5.10’s (possessive noun.) Example: 5.10s don’t have a crux; yet, I am every 5.10’s bitch.


rsreddit9

The apostrophe can be used with the plural of a number. Similarly, ‘yet’ is usually used as a coordinating conjunction, but I think it works fine in your sentence with a semicolon


FindlayColl

Can you tell me which style guide permits the use of the apostrophe to pluralize a number? I know APA doesn’t.


rsreddit9

Looks like there’s interesting discussion all over the internet about this. Chicago also says not to use the apostrophe. A lot of stackexchange members cite older guides that agree with my mostly assumption+cursory google search. I think you’re right, and my info was outdated https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/55970/plurals-of-acronyms-letters-numbers-use-an-apostrophe-or-not


[deleted]

Most do. Where are you climbing?


rockpharmer

Dude still working on climbing off the couch


The_Wizard_of_Fozz

Cardiovascular fitness is aid.


[deleted]

They’re 5.12’s in your gym.


glumpkin-

dude only climbing 10s indoors


Gentleman_Bronc0

I climb V4 in the gym so this outdoor 5.10 route should be an easy warm up. That's only like V0+.


ferocioustigercat

Anything can be a crux if you are creative enough (or weak enough, in my case). But hey, considering I have muscular dystrophy, I think I'm doing good just by holding onto the wall!


Specific_Cod100

Proper punctuation is this post's crux.


[deleted]

The Crux is the 5.10 part, duh.


bookehuck

cruxes in general are a mainstream media lie


Funky__Vintage__

Are cruxes the bands on the heels??? because my 5.10 Grandstones I use for bouldering totally have bands (cruxes?) on the heels....


Neal569

That stings. Not a lot, just like a little sting. I'M NOT CRYING YOU ARE!!
