So I got a little bleeding under my calluses after a pretty rough bouldering session. It's nothing to be worried about, right? I just let it heal up for a day or two and go back on the wall? I'm used to calluses from deadlifting so they don't bother me but the blood is new.

You really need to be sanding your calluses down

I have never in my 8 years of climbing seen anybody bring their own rope to the gym.

Save your money.

At every gym I have been to you need to bring your own rope to lead climb. They may have some loaners if you want to pay to rent them

The gym has been 90F and near 100% humidity the last week and a half, everything is so greasy. I wish I had tubes that went from the chalkbag to straps on my wrists that continually sprayed chalk all over my hands.

I seriously felt like chalking my shoes too, the old holds are getting shined up like brass doorknobs.

Walking into my gym feels like walking into a movie theater, it's AC is ice cold. Great on a hot humid day
