Today we are routesetting with Cheech, The head routesetter of First Ascent. We are once again in the sick gym, first ascent humboldt park.
Cheech Is going out of his regualar style of building and tries to create a very special move that we rarly see in the gyms these days, mainly because they are really tricky to get right and consume a lot of time.
Luckily Cheech was determined to create this problem and we were all happy he could make it happen!

I love route setters. They're like the mystical wise wizards of the climbing world. Great video, I really liked the background music choice in this one.

A bathang and a figure 4 on the same problem! Awsome!

I'm new to climbing but it's not hard to put two and two together in that route-setters are artists in their craft. Cool to see how a problem unfolds.

@nickbandler5103 6 жыл бұрын

As a routesetter myself I can agree that you don't see that move rarely at all in bouldering. It is harder than it looks to set a route and have it be climbed the way you imagined. Good video, crazy fun looking boulder problem. I like that routesetter's style.

@nicklozica8914 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah figure 4s are more for ice climbing

@nickbandler5103 6 жыл бұрын

Very true, and to set one up is tricky for any routesetter, everything has to be set up just the right way in order for it to work. The figure 4 is still a fun move to do once one figures it out

@svenningen 6 жыл бұрын

Agreed, some contortionist-y moves like these are really tricky to force, especially when you try to set within a grade, and not just "bloody murder difficult"

Eric, while you're on gym gym touring spree you should totally visit "Oslo klatresenter" in Norway and meet up with Magnus Midtbø. It's his home gym where he trains everyday. A pretty cool gym with exciting features. He's a youtuber himself and it would be cool to see you create some episodes together.

Can someone explain how the figure 4 is beneficial, just seems like the weight of the leg around your arm can cause you to fall off a hold

@zan831 6 жыл бұрын

Im fairly new to climbing, but I think its like a lock-off where you can stabilize your lower body? Cause otherwise you would have to campus it like Nikken which is harder. I think in both cases, you're still supporting your weight with just the 1 hand, but figure 4 makes that sequence more static and controlled

It's a good rest - you can let go of anything but the holding hand. And you can reach pretty far from there (already in a "locked" type position).

@izzylippold4296 6 жыл бұрын

Excuse my ignorance, but I just recently started climbing and am wondering about the figure 4... WHY? What are the advantages of that move? I would have thought moving my leg over my arm would upset my balance point and add more strain to the arm the leg is hanging on. Someone please enlighten me, so I can go and try this move myself :) Thank you!

@MeatsTzarI 5 жыл бұрын

I'm a climbing novice, but i fell in love with the figure 4 the first time i saw it. I think the benefit is that it helps bring your hip higher and closer to the wall when there is no good foot. However, I was told that "if you can do a figure 4 to hit the next hold, you can do it without a figure 4". I've found this to mostly be true. You're putting a lot of weight on your hand, so the hold has to be good for a figure 4. If the old is THAT good... might as well just campus or dyno. Go try it out, it's fun and makes you look like like you know what youre doing... maybe?
