A crowdsourced map for ranking Boulder gym stinkiness and difficulty. Get a detailed view of the gym. “Is there toprope in the gym?” “Any training boards?”

Funny and practical to know if the gym stinks.

Just my two scents: I find the font incredibly hard to read.

Everyone nose what you did there.

Bouldering at West Cape Howe above several hundred tonnes of rotting seaweed can get pretty stinky.

Good views though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLihtxNPB9U

The site didn't load for me in Firefox, but I found these fantastic for preventing climbing shoe stink: https://bootbananas.com/product/original-shoe-deodorisers/ They absorb sweat, not just mask the smell.

>ranking Boulder gym stinkiness

The capitalization makes me think it's about gyms in Boulder, CO.

Thought so too but then I scrolled to Europe and where I live literally every single gym is on the map, even one that is either very non-public or only exists on google maps (tried to get there once but there was absolutely nothing). Both eastern and western Europe covered very well, kudos for grepping those places properly.

It’s very odd. Bouldering gyms consistently smell of feet but yoga studios do not despite both being an open toed activity.

Bouldering is not a barefoot activity. Bouldering (and climbing) depend on special shoes.

The smell in a climbing or bouldering gym is because many climbers (and most climbers above a beginner/intermediate level) are probably taking OFF their shoes when not actively climbing. You do this outside, too -- the shoes are TIGHT and pretty uncomfortable to stand around in, so you only wear them when you're on the rock.

Climbing and bouldering are pretty intense, though, so you will get sweaty. And you'll sweat in your shoes. And the shoes will get stinky. Shoe stink is often somewhat contained if your foot is still IN the shoe, but if you take them off everyone gets to enjoy the aroma.

Unlined leather shoes handle the funk the best. OTOH, shoes with uppers made of textiles, especially when lined, end up being de facto bioweapons. I am not cursed with especially stinky sweat or feet, but I had a pair of fabric-lined climbing shoes that had to ride in the trunk going to and from the gym or the crag because having them inside the passenger compartment of the car was absolutely untenable.

Yoga, OTOH, is done barefoot. People often show up very minimal shoes. There's a sweat smell in many yoga spaces, especially hot yoga spaces, but it's not the funk associated with shoes.

The font you chose is borderline illegible. Password being 3-20 characters makes me nervous.

Fun idea though.

I see a lot of complaints about the font, and I'm just curious what makes it so hard to read? Is English your second language, I know reading Japanese for me in different or (worse!) handwritten makes it 10x harder for me to read. Are you just not used to a handwritingish font, and only read more typewritery fonts? Older than me (35+)?

It just feels weird that a perfectly legible font has multiple complaints, and I don't understand why or how?
