Can you.....

Post by pigsteak »

stand up and put on your shoes? I see skinny, wiry kids doing it like it is no big deal..but I get out of breath, and pinch my belly in the harness if I try it...not to mention losing my balance. One said he doesn't like to sit in the dirt...

what is your preferred method? standing or sitting?
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.

good post, I like to stand for sure, don't really know why just always have, I don't feel comfortable sitting to put shoes on. But I also sleep with my pillow over my head instead of beneath it, so my vote may not count

Who sits? There is rarely a good place to sit, and doing so usually results in spilt chalk....
I've been a gumby longer than you've been climbing.

Standing while tying your shoes, no matter what kind, increases balance.

first off, kramp, no post pigsteak posts is ever a "good" post. 2ndly, i sit, and even that makes me lose my breath b/c of the whole getting back up part!
efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening

I bet the people that put their shoes on standing climb at a lower grade than those that sit. Most of the standing shoe put-er on-ers would be considered gumballs.

I can't even put on my sneakers while standing, let alone tight ass climbing shoes.
