Im a color blind climber too! Never let it hold you back from enjoying what you love

@@lordinch8282 i feel you guys. beeing on the wall like "that hold? no? that? damn it? what about this one?" :D all the time

Color blindness really is a bitch at the walls with multiple routes and tape. When I climbed outside for the first time I thought it was so much easier because I wasnt stressing about grabbing the wrong holds.

Grasshopper sell a home wall that lights up and has routes set by josh larson, (us climbing team head coach). Obviously quite expensive but so are the kilter and moonboard

@@easteregg8699 i'm not even that colorblind and i still have this problem all the time. one of the gyms i went to always had a dark red tape right next to a black tape route. id always have to stare at the problems for a while to remember which is which

100% agree

A well thought-out perspective =) I love the idea of transferable, world-wide boulders - a metric to compete with, for everybody and regardless of their other circumstances - but also consider "custom" individual gym settings important, because you know, standardization tends to simplify things generaly speaking. So I think it's a good idea to keep a wall around that has its own, unique problems, gives climbers something to adjust to on the regular to keep the whole thing from getting too universal and predictable.

This really lacks volumes in my opinion. Volumes are an interesting part of indoor climbing and reciprocate pretty well the different shapes real rock can have.

Good point. Imo there should be one of these walls in each gym, just like a speed wall. Having another way to 'benchmark' is interesting without giving up the original feel of the gym.

True! If there is everything standardized, where is the human in it.

How comparable is that to the O-scale?

Oy! Frankie, I'm running out of power! It's okay, Bob, try this one. It's only rated light pink!!

​@@since1876 "Light pink"? Are you mental? This is an easy magenta!

@@DoubLL I'm expected to remember the contents of a video from 9 months ago?

@@since1876 no. That was a joke

All the new climbers won't feel such a tool now as Magnus cocked up too happens to the best of them 😁

@Wide Boyz - Pete! Looking like your recent knee injury is better dude! What did you do to aid recovery? Just rest and avoid savage moves? Asking as I've had meniscus surgery recently.

DAY 1 of requesting a " TOTAL BEGINNER CLIMBING GUIDE! with such informations included

@Eric kicking liberals I'm not any sort of expert, but climbing routes would not be a problem at all for your knees and would be a great way to lose some weight. You'd probably want to stay away from bouldering as taking falls on to the ground is hard on knees.

The approach for the last hold was different for Pete than Magnus. Magnus uses his right hand, so left hand stays on better hold to decrease the swing. I believe if Pete would try Magnus's beta he would get at least one angle more sent.

I wonder what grade it would get at 59 degrees, v8? :p

@@davidschneider6640 above 50° it hasn’t been logged/graded by anyone (Magnus probably got the FA) wonder what grade he thought it was… I’m gonna give it a go tmrw!

@@dimensionaldot Love to hear your grading :)

@@davidschneider6640 the difference between 40 and 59 is massive. it would probably increase by a couple V grades unless it's set in a way that is conducive to overhang climbing.

I know, would be interesting to try. Magnus made it look roughly the same, but it could be 8A, considering how well he knew the moves by the time they got to 59 degrees.

The climbing gym I go to has a kilter board you control with your phone but the angle is fixed. I haven't used it yet but I think I'll have to try it out.

What about when these boards become the size of gyms. Using some standardized hold set pattern or procedural algorithms to make the boards, they could tesselate to arbitrary walls and sizes. With a configurable wall consuming an entire gym, I really thing we the route setter's creativity has just been moved to designing it on an app rather than having to screw into the wall. Sure, the obvious routes will be designed fast, but just like a guitar with just 6 strings can have effectively endless melody pour out, so can a large enough wall be reconfigured. I'd go for adding even more holds for more options, in the future perhaps we can use electrostimulatable polymers to differentially harden pressurized volumes to reshape holds on the fly. That stuff is too experimental, just talking fantasy, but some idea should work... Maybe just holds designed to be rotated by a servo to give different hold styles and more hold density. IDK, I'm sure there's a possible, good idea along these lines. If we could modify the hold type, we could really up the degrees of freedom to "guitar" levels. Personally, as a programmer, I prefer letting my procedural children paint my pictures for me.

hey i am from the future by 2 years and i can say with ai and routing maths this isnt a problem

🤣

🤣🤣🤣

When in doubt. Campus it. Sounds good. If it only worked just as well

Im here since he had 50k or smthin haha

Ye man

I think this channel is too niche too reach 10 million subs, although climbing is growing in popularity so idk

He might not reach 10 mil but even 2mil as a >90% climbing channel is impressive

Woah i just noticed how many subs he has. I remember subscribing at like 100k total and that wasn’t even that long ago

This is a fantastic idea

now that's content xD

You can just try this problem. Start at a shallow angle and see how far you get, just like they did in the video.

+1!

That wall and a crack cellar built by a reputable carpenter 😁

The LEDs are pretty 😉

give it a try

@@anashaddad9144 I surely will as soon as I get the chance

You can build one at home. I did.

Wish that was what my retirement will look like.

The manufacturers could use standardized tilesets, maybe procedural generation and produce tesselatable boards to fit on a whole gym. At that point, variety is increased by route size. In the future, electro-hardenable polymers could be used to reconfigure holds on the fly. More reasonably, we can use servos and holds designed to be rotated to have different grips/shapes presented to the climber based on rotation. That'd add considerable options, if the holds can be designed cleverly enough. It'd be inordinately expensive, but motorized walls could totally be used to reconfigure face shapes. Potentially holds could be mounted on XY servo tables if cost/mass production wasn't an issue. Definitely can't beat screw mounting for the placement and cost-effectiveness. Yeah, that last paragraph isn't going to happen. Still, I think tesselated over a whole gym, and rotatable holds would be enough configurability/variety to entice people through the idea of being able to design their own routes instantly. Just pick the surface shape you want, then pick route start and end, pick climbing style...and have an app which procedurally chooses/generates a route for it. The costs though, would be a novelty now...I guess it's only really sensible to have a kilter board in the corner, even going into the future.

Pete's the best!

I‘m actually a huge fan of big holds and haven‘t seen any of them on LED boards yet... 🙈

I actually think there will be walls that are completely, but you can set any route imaginable and the holds of different shapes and sizes just magically pop out of the wall. I am always annoyed by the look of these kind of light up walls. It just looks messy^^

I mean until now we only saw gyms doing both at least in magnusus videos. So possibly the climbing gyms will do exactly that

@@catjuzu I think it would be cool to do the same climb as what we'd see in these videos and know it is the same climb.

Yes.

Most gyms that I have been to do both

Some people can't afford to do that though sadly

Thank you! Routereading is still important in terms of thinking out the moves before you go as it can help reduce the effort and time you have to spend on the wall. That said, we understand what you mean, and we're glad you like the Kilter Board!

@@KilterClimbingGrips Thanks for making such a cool board 🙏🙏🙏

I think they just meant it’s part of the future, not the whole future. Bright colored holds that don’t light up will always be with us

I suppose Magnus actually stopped doing a thing or two "because of her", namely chalking up every other minute, as that can be inconvenient once it gets to cooking or having a great time together as a couple... :D But it would be interesting to hear the actual answer to the original question, too!

this is actually really cool idea, but it requires that the holds have sensors to know when someone has touched it, which i’m not sure that this does

Yeah def 😅

Five minutes in and it already looks a bit creepy, in a sterile way. Reminds me of HAL 9000.

Oh, this adjustable light up wall is much more interesting.

@@BrandonLongwell Thank you!

@@BrandonLongwell I feel the same way. The bouldering walls are really cool, but the climbing walls look like a hospital hall

Maybe on each hold there like coordinates sorta thing on the back.

i would hate it if all the walls are like this LED wall. each route is pretty much the same. the gym i go to has a ton of inventive routes with big moves, overhangs, volumes, etc. this just looks like 10000 different crimpy routes

Also these holds are pretty straight forward how you can hold them. Normal routes have much more options on how to grip them, where to place your hands and feets etc

notation would be easy to create/organise for routes with co ordinates and tags/titles for each specific hold type

Thank you!

Yeah kkkkjkkk boom dia

🇧🇷

sotaque de Angola ;)

sabia que ia ter alguém que tbm reparou nisso kkkkk

Shoutout to metro rock Everett, MA?

@@zacharyquigley7527 yep:)

Damb- my gym used to have beer light off and headlamps night; oc stopped cuz of covid. But definetly a cool idea

Right?! I’ve been trying to convince the rest of Kilter that we should use red for feet so they show up better and maybe use the yellow for the finishing holds. No one will listen to me though. I’ll show them this comment.

We loved it as well!

There is a Kilter Board at one of The Hive gyms in Vancouver.

Also. Let’s get you to 1mil soon please

Wait other countries don't say led?

@@paulelderson934 I've never heard that here in the US. It doesn't surprise me that, that happens though. People say L-O-L and "LAWL" it just threw me off when I heard "lead" the video.

Jfc yes! I was thinking the very same thing and also, ‘Get to the benchmarks already!!’
