the good ending

Failing to spot the brutal holds I see two crimps on vertical then nothing but jugs….

Thanks! Been climbing for about 3 years with some break in the middle for covid lockdowns and the like. I started very scrawny though so my progress has pretty much entirely been muscle building rather than technique blocks. Keep it up though, sounds like you're pretty strong yourself.

you progress fast! i started climbing almost 2 years ago and i still have only done 1 v6! i am just a kid though.

@@TCMPickle Thanks! I have a little brother (9 years old) who can do several V5 and probably V6 that i can't do if he had the patience to learn them. He is insanely strong, only benefits i have over him is i'm alot taller since i'm 24 years old and i have alot more patience. I can do some very easy climbs he can't because of height difference. It's good to start early because that means to will have way better chances at doing V8+ later. I could probably work out for 2 years from now and maybe never do anything above a light V8. You will probably be doing V10+ when you are my age if you keep it up!

Thank you!

Might be V5 for someone short.

Should’ve gone to specsavers.

@@JPRecordingshelp a blind guy out then, point out the hard moves.

@@bazwax77Aye man, I need glasses myself so it's the blind leading the blind here.

​@@JPRecordings bruuuuhhhh this is literally v8 IT Just Looks easy when someone climbs it! All the moves we're v8 starting from the beginning to the small pinches and the Overhang was soooo hard

As a climber, you should realize that you cannot understand a climb fully when you can't see the depths or angle of the wall. Chill out, stick to your own climbs and let others enjoy their triumphs. No one is going to give you a medal for being a tough guy.

fuck is he supposed to do. shrink? get over it

Look on the bright side! Tall people weigh more because taller = more body mass so they have to be stronger to climb. I don't know if i quallify as tall with my 180cm but i try to htink that way compared to the other 190cm+ dudes at my gym 😅

Just drink more milk lmao.

There was nothing there was necessitated being tall. It's definitely my style but I'm about 5'3 and I'm confident that wouldnt be a bad climb for me.

It’s not great advice saying “you’ll break your fingers” using an established and widely used grip position. Better the highlight the increased chance of a finger injury or to suggest actively training (eg hangboarding) in a full crimp position so it’s less dangerous when you have to utilise it in a climb.

Do you do bouldering? If not, it might look easy but 6 months back i learned that being on the wall is alot harder then looking at someone climbing it. If you do bouldering, you are just very good compared to must of us plebs in that case.

Homie made it look easy

To be fair the moves do look pretty easy, it's mainly the 2 crimps that make the climb hard (plus I broke the beta by being tall). Still, stuff always looks easier on video.

Thank you Nobody, you know better than the setters by watching a video

I don’t think he should listen to someone who calls holds grips

I have climbed for about 6 months now, and i can barely do v5 consistently. Ain't no way this is lower then v7.

@@ouwle6618 Dawg you’ve only climbed for 6 months, trust you wouldn’t know

@@sxif And in that time i have studied climbing and visited many gyms, so i know it's basically impossible to grade "accurately". It's up to the setters discretion in a margin of error. A V5 in my gym can be a V7 in another or vice versa. Also it's a bit hard since my gym is quite small, so it doesn't say what difficulty the climbs are on the V scale. They use tape and it goes: Blue -> Red -> Black -> White and some gyms have brown after that in other places. I think blue is V0-2, red is V3-5, Black is V5-7 and white is basically V8+. So this problem would be a top 5 difficult problem in my gym outside of the Kilter Board. But even with that in mind, nothing under V7 in my gym has crimps, flagging and requiring that much strength. Could be that my gym has very few crimps outside of the 5 hardest ones, mostly slopers and awkward holds. But im impressed because i'm not a techniqal climber at all. I don't think on the wall, i intuitively get the feeling of what i should do. If that doesn't work i try to find new ideas but im quite bad at it, especially in inclined/steep walls. And if that doesn't work, i just brute force it with strength amd dynamic movements if i can. But i highly doubt i would have the strength to do this even if i was skillfull. And i HATE crimps hehe.

Sir, this is wendy's.
