This really highlights how much slab is Anna's superpower. She makes it all look so easy. But I know that Geek Climber isn't a pushover, so seeing him struggle while Anna coaches him through little smears and stuff makes it so clear how good she is.

Awesomely fun video 🤩 Derpy & micro shakes-that’s genuine and cool. Appreciate Anna being like a normal climber, eventhough so high level. That slab is fun-done it with my daughter many times, but of course she was much better. 😆 Had the good fortune of an exclusive outdoor climber that had been climbing at Santee boulder for 25 years and outdoor for 45 years. He showed us how to climb a 5.9 with smear only on top rope. Of course my daughter, Jasmine got it, but not me.

Man I love Amphitheatre, from left to right it goes easy to hard so it's the perfect boulder to practice slab climbs in increasing steepness. I'd recommend to anyone going to Santee boulders to check out the Black Spot Problem and the Lieback on East Mudball/Lieback Rock.

Thats my neck of the woods (Prior to moving to switzerland). literally would run out after work and climb till sundown. Santee can be brutal though, there are some tough climbs as well as Mission Gorge (Can be slick).

@thelonelyphish Жыл бұрын

East county SD is underrated when you compare it with the rest of California but man we've got Woodson, ECM, Eagle Peak, Corte Madera, VOTM, Culp Valley, and even the small bouldering crags like Santee. We've got slick rock reminiscent of Yosemite all the way through to grippy rough rock reminiscent of JTree, I love it here.

@zhechao524 Жыл бұрын

Slabs are usually not as easy as they might seem ( or other people climbs), so much balance and body tension...

@tommeyer3871 Жыл бұрын

The difference between indoors and outdoors slabs really is massive, especially when smearing, but even on edges (cause there's always some smearing involved) - indoors you can always test a foot before standing on it and tell whether it will hold you. Outdoors there's many footholds that are only good once you decided to just trust them and put all your weight on them, you can't test them or they'll feel like you'll fall - at least that is my experience outdoors. And it's definitely been a challenge but I'm starting to get more used to it.

@tommeyer3871 Жыл бұрын

The slab experience is so relateable, I love that you did not just walk up that rock like Anna but needed some attempts and sometimes lacked the courage. It's so impressive to see the progress throughout. Anna really did a great job with the tips AND encouragement :D
