"Hallowed" can be used for places or days. "Hallowed manger ground" and "hallowed eve" (which, incidentally, is basically the source of "Halloween") are good examples.
"Sacred" can be used for times, places, and objects. Rarely for people. Typically this means that the thing has been made holy. (As in, consecrated.)
"Holy" covers all the above and can be applied to anything.
"Hallowed" is usually used in situations where a day/place has been often used in connection with or for sacred/holy rituals/things.
"Holy" is (generally) the only one that can be applied to things that are intrinsically holy and not made that way.
One phrase I think of is the term "holy site." Locations can be sacred (like, cemeteries or churches or whatever) but "holy sites" are places like Dome of the Rock, etc. that are widely-acknowledged for their religious significance.

@DJMcMayhem supper doesn't to me. I think my mom used it all the time
also, if none of you have seen Company Man: I've been binge watching him for the past week or so
he's great
although, I'm pretty sure that the google algorithms have put us in very similar buckets, and so most of you have already seen it because google recommended it to you already :P
it's crazy to think about it: but the fact that I clicked on certain videos and watch them likely has a non-zero effect on the recommendations you guys get on YT
Random thought/observation/question: A Klein Bottle is an object that can only exist in 4D that has a single 3D plane (instead of 2 like a typical bottle would). A Mobius Strip is an object that can only exist in 3D that has a single 2D plane (instead of 2 like a typical ring would).
Is there an object that can only exist in 2D space that only has a single 1D... Plane?
Also one thing that didn't make sense to me was the description of gravity. It seemed like he was trying to imply that gravity pulled the flatlanders south, but only slightly? I don't understand how that works out or the orientation of flatland
> That's one large, supremely complicated and unnecessary sliding-and-falling-and-tumbling step for a man, one giant but equally pointless leap for mankind.
Nice! The new gym in my town (that I don't go to) use to have them. I tried them once, and I think I got about 2/3rds up
They also had my all time favorite routes: A top-roping section that is entirely volumes with no other holds. They're usually 5.10-5.12 and ridiculously fun since you have to use completely different techniques than normal
You're right around my ability in that case. I have done a couple V5s before, but I can't do them usually. And I've done one 5.12 I think
@El'endiaStarman The gym I go to recently switched up their bouldering rating. They don't give a specific V-something anymore, they just classify them all as Rec/Int/Adv/Open. I'm not a fan of that switch
A climbing grade conversion chart like this mec.ca/en/explore/climbing-grade-conversion seems to imply that my gym's bouldering routes are graded harder than they really are or its top-rope routes are graded easier than they really are.
@DJMcMayhem I wouldn't be either. Less of a sense of progression and less indication of how hard routes really are.
Absolutely. They said it was so that people would try more things outside of what they think they can do, but I don't think actually worked the way they were expecting
@El'endiaStarman Ooh, another cool picture from the new gym:
Got a chuckle out of me, but no. Although there is a game that's kinda like a mix of Follow the Leader and Horse (for basketball). One person gets on the wall and makes one or two moves, then the next person repeats those and adds a couple more moves, and so on.
With that game, you can use any holds. I think you really only have to follow the hand holds chosen since it's hard to remember which rocks were foot holds, but I'm sure there are a wide variety of "house rules", so to speak.
