Adding another shoe to the rotation means getting another sticker made by @kathfalls. Eventually I’ll put these in a notebook to catalog all the shoes I have owned throughout the years.

Hi everyone, welcome back to episode 3 of Spray Sessions!

In the last session we talked about warming up as we get on the wall, but it’s just as important to practice getting off the wall safely.

For a lot of beginner to intermediate climbers, the fear of falling often times prevents them from fully committing to moves high off the ground.

So for this episode I wanted to highlight the importance of rehearsing falls, to help lessen the fear we experience on boulders.

Here are some tips for your next fall therapy session:

- Breathe! Exhaling helps cue the body to relax before letting go from the wall
- Avoid landing with joints fully locked out (elbows, knees, etc) Don’t try to stop all of your momentum with your arms only
- Instead learn to disperse the impact across the mat (roll through your ankles, knees, and torso)
- When in doubt, phone a friend! A little bit of reassurance goes a long way, especially when it comes from people you trust with your own safety.

The more we practice falls, the more prepared we are to take them. Let’s not let the fear of falling hold us back from trying our hardest.

DM or comment if you’re interested in being featured on a future episode

Until then, try hard and have fun!

delightful visit to @trianglerockclub_rva as always - my go to gym when i’m visiting Richmond! the wall features are interesting (lots of corners and curves) and the setters always make such excellent use of them. lots of neat traverse sequences and a whole tech town (multiple walls w routes that teach you technical moves) which i adore.

2/29/24: V4 set by @hansma @movementlic (📹 one of the team kids 🫡); Really loved this climb, especially the delicate transition to the left. Didn't really know how to start it initially, but then saw @petahkang stand up and balance first to touch the start hold. Was able to flash it from there 😁

Happy Friday, y'all! Hope you all had a relatively good week

Had a great session yesterday with @climbingjaron returning, Peter, and @williamsooter ! As slways, thank you for climbing with me 🫶 Couldn't really send much with just one shoe, but it was fun trying ish anyway haha; Thanks to some schedule changes, it looks like I could get one more sesh in this Saturday early afternoon so hopefully I'll see some of you then. Hoping to get on this new lead cave set 🤓

Have a good day/weekend, y'all🫰

🔥Evolv Creator Series #2🔥

Last month, we started a little project to highlight cool creators in our climbing community. We love seeing the creativity, skill, and passion that the climbing community embraces and we want to share with you the many ways that climbing and creativity can intersect for different people. So now that we're in February, it's time to share our next creator!

Everyone, meet Kathy (@kathfalls)! Kathy, this is everyone. 🤝

"Hi everyone! My name is Kathy, aka @kathfalls. I’m currently a 4th year medical student and I’ve been climbing for a little over 2 years now. I’ve been making one line art and stickers for the past year. I mainly create climbing inspired designs and have done a lot of commission work as well. I've always loved art, but never had anything that I wanted to create. Overall, climbing not only became my inspiration for my art but also a physical and mental outlet for my well-being.

If you or a loved one (or even a stranger to be honest) are interested in having some work shared with our community for our ongoing Evolv Creator Series, slide in our DMs or comment down below!
