I like Eric's video format (not only the Legends Only coverage but also the regular videos): it is not too condensed like a lot of other bouldering videos. Seeing the climbers struggle and fail and talk to each other (in addition to seeing them succeed at difficult moves) really adds to the videos.

I agree...nice thing about Eric's videos are: they are about the climbing, not about the damn commentators face/talking and a bunch of lame fancy edits with flashy music that don't give you an experience into the world of climbing or the personalities of the competitors...EK show's us climbing nerds what we want to see - the inner circle...keep it up EK

In a "normal" competition, like the IFSC World Cup, would they try the problems before the actual competition? I get that this is Legends Only, but what about the other competitions?

@StuffSlimey 7 жыл бұрын

No. Legends is more about fun and entertainment than the comp itself. They get to try the problems first so that they can set harder problems that are more entertaining to watch as they are a lot harder.

That's just some taping. It is supposed to help with loosening fascias, combat inflammation and such, even though Jongwon Chon (the climber in question) is using them almost always (as do many other athletes in different disciplines).

@randomgirl313131 7 жыл бұрын

As someone new to climbing, can anyone give me a quick overview of legends only? It doesn't seem like a regular comp, as usually they don't get to practice the climb first! Do they just have the one day to learn the problems? How does the actual comp work? Cheers!

@menarniallvar3927 7 жыл бұрын

randomgirl313131 Previous Legends only can be viewed on KZfaq if you rally want to knows. The format has changed somewhat but usually the climbers set the problems them self with the help of Klättercentrets routesetters. They are harder than the worldcup problems because the climbers get to try them before the comp. Rules during the comp follow the standard format. Hope that helps.
