Show HN: Yourshoesmells.com – Find the most smelly boulder gym

https://yourshoesmells.com

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?”

Comments

boxedsound•3mo ago
Funny and practical to know if the gym stinks.

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

sunrunner•3mo ago
Everyone nose what you did there.
defrost•3mo ago
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.
coolbeans500•3mo ago
great idea - stinky font
Thorrez•3mo ago
>ranking Boulder gym stinkiness

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

kakacik•3mo ago
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.
KomoD•3mo ago
> or only exists on google maps

Because it is just Google Maps data and includes tons of just random places (like sporting goods stores, parking lots, cycling parks)

boshenz•3mo ago
True. I did fetch data from Google Maps. Can't guarantee that the data is accurate in every place. But i think i will implement something like a "add/remove your gyms"
KomoD•3mo ago
> Can't guarantee that the data is accurate in every place

Of course but doesn't Google Maps have categories for this stuff? Feels like it should be quite easy to filter out

Ajedi32•3mo ago
I wonder where they're getting the data. I assumed OSM but I found at least one place on this map that I couldn't find on OSM or in All the Places (but it is on Google Maps).

If anything it seems to err on the side of false positives. A lot of these places seem to be traditional gyms or trampoline parks that I don't think have any bouldering walls.

Ne02ptzero•3mo ago
I wonder as well. Most of the climbing gyms are missing in France's big cities (Arkose, ClimbUp, etc) and the School Room is not even on the map :( !
boshenz•3mo ago
I used Google map API to fetch all the gyms then cached it locally. It only allows (at least from what I can find) text search within a viewport. I think there are some problems when loading boulder gyms in France. At first glance, I thought France was not really into bouldering...
Ne02ptzero•3mo ago
> At first glance, I thought France was not really into bouldering...

You'd be very wrong! There is at least 40 bouldering gyms in Paris (and suburbs) alone.

yapyap•3mo ago
That first glance was a very wrong glance considering that Fontainebleau is widely considered the bouldering Mecca
lxgr•3mo ago
You should consider feeding your data into OSM! Surely there's already a suitable metadata tag for olfactics?
davedx•3mo ago
Amazing, the one I go to that only opened last year in Ede, the Netherlands is there! I was its first vote :)

nailer•3mo ago
It’s very odd. Bouldering gyms consistently smell of feet but yoga studios do not despite both being an open toed activity.
ubermonkey•3mo ago
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.

turdprincess•3mo ago
Must be a shoe type thing - I’ve never had any smell with La Sportiva (solution, futura, Muira or katana)
petsfed•3mo ago
All of the velcro katanas I've ever owned ultimately ended up pretty stank. I think its the textile lining. Meanwhile, my Muira VCS have stayed pretty clean. My Muira Lace, not so much.
ubermonkey•3mo ago
My go-tos for outdoor climbing were La Sportiva Mythos, which never got too stinky because (I think) they were unlined leather so retained less moisture & funk. However, the laces made them less attractive for the shorter routes in the gym, so I branched out.

I just looked at the LS site, and it's been so long I recognize nothing aside from the current iteration of the Mythos. The biohazard shoes I had were from someone else, maybe 5.10? Maybe they were UFOs?

Nothing in 5.10's lineup looks familiar to me, but apparently they were acquired by Adidas in 2011, which probably explains it.

My stanky shoes were all black with some grey accents, and closed with velcro, which made them ideal for the gym. I wore them outside exactly ONCE, to a place near Austin. They were fine until I got above the trees, and the sun started BAKING MY FEET. They got super super hot in the sun, which was very uncomfortable and relegated them to gym-only climbing thereafter.

Talc powder, baking soda, or NonScents Shoe Deodorizer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NYTTV4C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shar... whenever you’re done can help substantially by removing moisture so the funk bacteria die
fishbacon•3mo ago
The font you chose is borderline illegible. Password being 3-20 characters makes me nervous.

Fun idea though.

amypetrik8•3mo ago
> Password being 3-20 characters makes me nervous.

You're kinder than me, having a login and password to place a vote seems like a dark pattern to me.

atrus•3mo ago
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?

abound•3mo ago
I think the font is just "different" enough that it sets off something in people.

Ironically, it's also the default font used by Excalidraw (Virgil IIRC), and people seem to generally like the style + legibility of Excalidraw-drawn diagrams.

stronglikedan•3mo ago
To me, it's not the font face in particular, but that it's sized too small for the complexity of the font face, specifically.
diziet•3mo ago
The font is very small. And unusual.
lukeinator42•3mo ago
Is there a way to request the addition of a gym?
boshenz•3mo ago
There will be. Wanted to get this out to see the public reaction
0_gravitas•3mo ago
Looking around my area, unsure what the heuristics are for determining whats a climbing/boulder gym, but there's quite a few false-positives. I got excited because I thought there was some new options in my otherwise duopolized island.
dddddaviddddd•3mo ago
For urban gyms, at least in Montreal, a slider for bicycle parking is more useful than a checkbox. Some gyms have many more bicycles parked than cars, sometimes in winter too. Many gyms don’t even have car parking because transit/bike/walking is the expected way to get there.
boshenz•3mo ago
Interesting! Noted!

mikestew•3mo ago
When I click the "use my location" icon and I'm in Redmond, WA, 2 out of the 3 gyms listed are in Redmond, OREGON. I imagine it might be doing to same for city names that are in multiple states. But when I zoom into Portland, OR (rather than use the "my location" button) I don't see gyms for Portland, ME (maybe there aren't any in ME?).

And, yeah, that font sucks for readability.
