Today I work on this orange V6. It has the hardest slopers that I've ever experienced. The feet feel so slippery. Each move feels like a challenge. For some reason I want to send it so badly. Will I be able to figure out the last move? I also return to a tough V4 slab and get further than I ever have before.

i litteraly did this yesterday lol. got a few v5s too
nice video, makes me want to climb asap
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Redemption ark
Nice progress! Have you tried smearing with your left foot? I cant tell how steep the wall is but from the camera’s point of view you wanna go diagonally to the right upward to the last hold so you might want to place your foot on the opposite of your momentum. Just a thought from a spectator.
That's a good point, I tend to get lazy with my left foot. The wall is pretty steep and it's a little tough to smear with the black holds in the way
Feel like you might be able to get your right foot up and flag your left foot out and to hook the wall. Looks tricky though. I have the sudden urge to find a heel hook somewhere at the end.
I think the big black cubes make it hard to flag my left foot and toe hook the corner. I think a high right heel hook is the best option
@@aidanuy please record it!
The meat jokes are so funny
good effort... something to be conscious about w dynamic moves, specifically the yellow 6, is that the more of your body is further from the centre of the move, the harder it is going to be to hold it. So if you're trying to move with your left foot high at 5:16 then all your weight left has got to be held when you swing right. I wonder if getting a high left foot, matching hands, then taking the feet back down central and more under the hold and go off the top foot chip with a right foot and left smeared would be a viable option? i also had something pop up the other day about channel members getting videos earlier, how far are these public ones behind the members only?
Interesting, I never thought about keeping weight centered for dynamic moves! I guess that's why it's much harder to control the swing for sideways dynos. I'll try smearing with the left foot for the dynamic move. The public videos are about a month behind the members-only. For example, I uploaded this video on August 6th but it only became public on September 14th
@@aidanuy That makes sense cuz I was there just last night and didn't remember seeing any of those walls there haha
@@aidanuy oh shitt aye a month is yonks
@@jkel8319 Yep sorry about that!😅 (un)fortunately the climbs stay up for like 2+ months so beta advice is still helpful!
For the green v5 at 6:30, are you sure those are the start holds? There seem to be footholds that you're not using below.
Good catch, I forgot to mention that I was skipping the first move so I could focus on the rest of the climb
@@aidanuy Okay, makes sense. I like your videos because there's always small progress. Good work!
@@nc622x Glad you enjoy the videos! Hopefully the little bits of progress are adding up to make me a better climber ☺
A little tip! I see in almost every move you try and make that your foot not on an actual hold has no pressure through it whatsoever. It's important to apply pressure to keep control of your body and take weight of your fingers and arms. It's not always necessary and can sometimes hinder, but I'm sure it will help you understand body tension a little better. Good climbing!
I appreciate it the tip! I need to very consciously think about pulling out from the wall through the hand/footholds to effectively apply counterpressure through the flagging foot.
An ENTIRE SESSION! Welcome to Projecting.
It's a love/hate relationship so far haha
you don’t really ‘suck’ nobody does but you can be more efficient in your climbing. You seem to get half way up and in the crux not have a plan and waste time and power that’s needed for the whole session. if you just have a plan and execute the singular plan as fast as possible less power is wasted and you can develop the flash mindset better that will help overall. Also keeping progress through a weighted system such as weights pulls on ur fingers to track real progress rather than a climbing grade to see if you are getting better. keep it up tho 🫡
🦧UMM... SWEETHEART! REMEMBER EVERONE IS DIFFERENT SO WE WILL NEVER KNOW UNLESS WE DO THIS OURSELVES!! SILLY BOY!!!🤪
🔥🔥 the one time i visited this gym with a friend, i found the grading pretty hard. im hoping to visit back again soon tho 🙏
I love hard grading! I think it makes people stronger in the long run 😊
are you still able to access this gym or have you left the area again?
Nope, no consistent access to this gym. I try to go back whenever I'm in the area visiting friends and family!
@@aidanuy yeah i figured as much i was maybe gonna drop a couple things that i read with routes, but it dont matter hahah, although if its not too hot wearing longer pants is usually a good option, the blue v5 looks like it could have been a kneebar 10:25, and if ur swinging out crazy like at 12:04 maybe look at ways to keep yourself tense, like right foot low left foot up for a heel :D
You should totally try homebrewing. I would either love to see a battle of the Brands: Birch Beer edition, and after, maybe a Root Beer Vs. Sasperilla Vs. Birch Beer, to see if you can pick out the subtle notes of each (Nailing down the best brands of each might make the distinct difference though. Best Birch Beer Brands you should try are Boylan, Pennsylvania Dutch, and Sioux City, and I won't tell you which is better.
Congrats on the V6. Idk if you tried switching your launch position for that last v6 but it might help keep you in the wall more for the jump if you switch your left leg from having the knee out to the same direction as your right knee so your energy is pushing you through the paddle
Turning my left knee and hip in at the bottom makes it harder to hold the pinches and generate force, but I think I could definitely rotate my body to the left more throughout the move!
Nice job on the 6 man, kinda wild how you seem to send it in like 20 minutes tops hahah for the 5, the beta youre doing right now is great, but i would recommend looking at what a pogo is/how its done, and try using one for the last move. At 1:40 your throw doesnt go very high, and your left leg stays pretty low and in line with your body the whole time. Instead, if you sink low with your right arm, and then swing your left leg from behind you and out towards the big black volume you'll be able to use that circular momentum to swing further up and around in that direction which might give you that extra distance you need LMK how it goes homie keep it up
Haha it definitely took me longer than 20 minutes, probably closer to 2 hours. It also took me a bunch of sessions just to figure out the starting moves. I try to pogo in future sessions, so stay tuned to see how that goes!
This guy pogos
@@aidanuy yeah my bad haha its hard to gauge time with a cut video, just seemed like you smashed it out quick and for sure ill keep an eye out
Friends from Europe Come to Moscow if you want to visit a café like this:) Anyway, Russia is closer to you than Japan.
👏
Coke. Pepsi tastes like someone with morning breathe gargled flat Coke and spit it into a bottle.
I was hoping you would have looked at the fat content of each of these brands. It seems premium ice creams have 20% or more 'Total Fat', while more affordable brands have much less 'Total Fat', but may use ingredients or processing to suggest it's has a certain texture. Since you like milk chocolate, you might want to source some 'Milkiest Chocolate' by Jeni's Ice Cream - or 'Dutch Milk Chocolate' by Graeter's. Jeni's also have 'Darkest Chocolate' and 'Blackout Chocolate Cake' ice creams, but (obviously) those are dark varieties. Jeni's are fairly expensive and may be difficult to source. I originally was going to suggest Häagen-Dazs 'Double Belgian Chocolate Chip' and 'Coffee Chocolate Brownie' (perhaps my favorite coffee ice creams - maybe I'll try their 'Irish Cream Brownie' at some point), but one of my favorite chocolate varieties is Talenti 'Double Dark Chocolate' Gelato. They also have 'Belgian Chocolate', but I would assume it (along with the other suggestions) are all dark varieties. So, I hope you can find Jeni's 'Milkiest Chocolate' (19% fat) or Graeter's 'Dutch Milk Chocolate' (20% fat) ice cream -- and hope it's worth it! Also, one reviewer (who had reviewed Talenti's 'Belgian Chocolate') seemed to prefer Izzy's 'Chocolate' (which might be available from Whole Foods). Though, sorry if you can't find any of these brands! I know Scharffen-Berger makes an excellent milk chocolate bar ('41% Extra Rich Milk Chocolate Bar'), though it too may be difficult to source locally. Ben & Jerry's makes an excellent 'Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough' ice cream with sizeable (and tasty) cookie dough chunks.
Get your girlfriend some Blenheim Ginger Ale. They have three varieties: '#5 Not As Hot', 'Old #3 Hot' and '#9 Diet'. I've only tried the Diet, but (from what I remember) they have lots more carbonation and ginger flavor than any of the brands you compared. I hope you can get all three varieties and compare it to Seagram's. For myself, there is no comparison. They have a 'Store Locator', but you might need to contact them to find a vendor near you.
Thank you for the recommendation! She'll definitely be interested in trying those
hey mate long time, still crushing it man well done
Thanks, it's good to see you again! I've missed you in my comments section
@@aidanuy yeah sorry been watching some on the side here and there but been pretty flat out lately On the orange at the end, what is the lip on the wall like? Is there any chance of holding it and moving off it or is it super slopey
@@jkel8319 Darn, I hope things get better for you! The lip is super slopey, don't think I can hold it at all
Great climbing! Do you think a left heelhook on the orange hold is possible matching hands on the higher one creating opposite forces. Keep it up loving the videos.
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! The footholds are really small crimps so I found it difficult to heel hook them in previous sessions. I haven't seen anyone match on the higher pinch, but I was thinking it might be possible. My feet just haven't felt stable enough to let go of the left hand 😅
I fuckin love it ...
Climbing youtuber homie
Awesome, I got to the same conclusion where Regular coke and Coke Zero is better but Diet Pepsi slaps Diet Coke
Diet coke is some terrible old formula, I can't believe they still sell it.
I know you're not LDS, cause Coke has caffeine, which Mormons won't drink. Perhaps under 21? Or some other variety of evangelical tee-totaler? These are the only reasons I can think that you've never heard of Seagrams (pronounced CEE-grums). If none of the above, why not a video on which of the winners taste best with some REAL Seagrams mixed in. If you don't know what real Seagrams is, Google it. But overall, I agree. All the Cokes are better except for Diet Coke. And Sprite and Diet Dr Pepper rock.
for the orange, at the top, u definitely need to swap feet and keep leaning left to pull up or just power through!
i would say slab is one of the only type of climbing that you cant cheese and so you actually have to practice which is why its so good
I used to hate slab, but not long ago my added a "no hands wall" and my footwork improved so much! Slab climbing is less awful now and sometimes even fun.
everyone hates slabs

Well done! Amazing progress in 4 months.
Nice one! 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m also a new climber, I will have been climbing for three months on the 8th of August. Projecting a 7A+/V7 that I want to achieve before the 8th.
Thank you, and good luck with your project! You got this!!
def a bit soft but still impressive
NICE!
If this is V7 I climb V13's
Congrats!
I work at the only california gravity vault it’s crazy how different we set. Our gym is the hardest of any in the SF Bay Area that I’ve tried
Yup, I've been to 3 different gravity vaults and the setting is different at each. I guess it's better to just view them as unrelated
soft
That's what happens when there's a soft problem in an already super soft gym 😅
@@aidanuy stay hard
Way to keep working it! If you're a v5 climber and felt it was probably closer to a v5 than a v7 then it might be haha, but I think routesetters will sometimes soften some boulders and sandbag others to encourage people to try harder stuff and also practice techniques. I sent v6 before I sent v5, but that was a huge boost to encourage me to try more 6s and 7s and sent my first 7 shortly after. End of the day though, it was graded v7 so can't nobody tell you that you haven't sent a v7 before haha. Good work!
Great insight, I agree!
Seems like all the jersey GVs set so different. Ever thought about trying the other ones my favorite is the Flemington gravity vault
I've tried GV in voorhees and the setting was pretty different. They're essentially unrelated but with the same name. The GV in Hoboken is literally 3+ grades softer than the GV in Radnor on a lot of problems
nice climbing dude im around the same level in the same amount of time such a buzz when you send a hard climb isnt it
Yep, the feeling of sending hard climbs is addicting!
Man, I really gotta start going to these super soft gyms so I can climb like V14.
I started climbing here last week. Just sent my first V17!
Nice vid! This was my third day climbing and i hope to do a v7 someday xD
Dude no way, I'm in exactly the same boat! Like exactly! As I'm commenting this I've just finished my 3rd day of climbing too! Btw same for the v7 :)
Welcome to the climbing community and good luck on your climbing journey! Feel free to check out my earlier episodes to see what my first few days of climbing looked like. Hopefully it's relatable! And maybe you can learn from my mistakes xD
First time watcher, this type of video is actually exactly what I'm looking for. Watching a newer climber learn a hard climb without just brute forcing like most is really entertaining! Btw, great job on this one, you'll definitely send it soon!
