Nice video bro! Im projecting the yellow v6 rn but pasir panjang a little bit too far 😭

thanks for the lovely video bro

Miss your videos!

There’s a rock wall at I place I go to, and it is slightly slanted and has 4 orange rocks. The challenge is to get to the top with only those orange rocks. Three of them have great grip, and the other one is at the bottom so it’s fine. The challenge is how far they are vertically spaced, but the day after I get it they made it so much easer adding a hand grip and a green gtip

😐🔫

Hello Casual Climbs! I would like to tell you that I like this video a little more than the others since there is more commentary going on about the routes, and, at the same time, we still get to see a wide variety of climbs with an assortment of different moves and techniques being showcased. Keep up the good work, and I am looking forward to seeing more videos and clips like this! I hope that you will consider this idea. Thank you!

Ahh yes, this drives me slowly mad

There's a lot of different microbetas for toehooks depending on the route/specific move. However I do find the most common reason beginners struggle to engage their toehook in due to not sticking their butts out and straightening their legs, which leads to naturally better engagement just from the shift in the angle at which the toehook is latching onto the hold. Of course there's the actual activation of the foot inwards/upwards that increases the 'contact strength' too, but I think that comes more naturally once you straighten your leg. Of course I'm not a professional, so let me know in the comments how you best approach a toehook!

I have La sporta and I love them so much

Did you get a shoe of your own as a beginner?

rip carla the singing cat :(

One has an x other has a check mark

This was a great video. I've been climbing for a little over a year and managed to hit my first v7 in 7 months, but I DEF was not improving by 1 grade a month haha. I agree that the best thing someone can do in order to improve as a climber is to climb consistently and frequently and experience will naturally give you skills and techniques to improve, but beyond that, if you want to climb harder, you have to *want* to climb harder. There's nothing wrong with climbing casually either! When I first started it was mainly just because it was the most fun way for me to stay active, but because I'm a naturally competitive person and saw myself progressing quite fast, I decided to climb intentionally and that was what eventually helped me break into the v6/7 range

Coqui 🇵🇷❤😂

Consider vegan options for an ethical shoe

Ah yes, the La Sportiva Instinct

Hmm, I can't tell of course without being on the problem, but would it not have been simpler to switch feet, backstep on your left foot, flag the right foot out, match your left hand on the big hold where your right hand is, and then just go for the sloper on the right? You would have also hit it without cutting your feet completely and having to manage the swing aftermath. Easy to say from a computer screen, of course - you know best. The move looks cool! It just strikes me that there may usually be better solutions? Nice send! Must have felt good.

That caught me so off guard bc I’m doing the same thing rn I messed up a pulley and hit the kilter board hard today

It really does vary a lot. I got in to climbing at 34 and within 8 months I did a v5. Now about 17 months i regularly do v5 but I’ve done only one v6 that barely felt like a v4 especially considering I was coming back from a hand injury. Then again I was on creatine so maybe that helped?

I definitely can't give my body time to rest and recover. It's just too fun.

I disagree with the "Projecting" Part. I have seen, ESPECIALLY in asia, people love to throw themselves against a route they cant do, for hours on end. If thats what you enjoy, thats cool. I would never recommend it tho. All my routes I couldnt do before I was able to return to later, by stopping to try an "impossible" route and doing other stuff. Maybe you find a route that uses similar tech as the one you struggle with , where you can practice it. Trying the same route over and over and over again can not just be demotivating, but also cause injuries due to frustration and loss of patience. Do not think you NEED to finish every route, move on, climb something else and come back stronger and harder.

I think the principle of ‘Just climb’ will work extremely well for a vast majority of people, provided you actively have the intention of making improvements and enjoying the process. My primary sport is cycling and I didn’t do any specialized training until 4 years in and I got very strong from just putting in the miles. I would say it’s probably not much different here.

I've been going climbing every 2 weeks so not as much as I would like to.. I have been doing it for around 5 months and just done my first v5 last week. Great video.

👍

Been pushing v5/6 recently but still an avid v3 enjoyer you can try funky moves that wouldn't be possible on harder routes

One thing about grading is that gyms in particular have made V0 into something it was never meant to be, it was never meant to be a ladder, and there's also a reason VB exists. If we look at something like the Joshua Tree Bouldering Guide, every boulder less than V0 gets a YDS grade from 5.9 down, the easiest climb is like a 5.5, so that gives us five grades *below* V0. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, grades outdoors are consensus graded. So while there is certainly variation in areas, it is less severe than in gyms because in gyms it is merely the setter's, and a few other people's (at most) opinion. If more gyms did consensus grading you'd find things a lot more consistent. Lastly, gyms seem to want some sort of "progress", so they'll have an internal scale of what things you can do on a V2, for instance. Meanwhile outside, difficulty is not created, but found, so the rock does not care what you can or can't do.

I got into climbing about a month and a half ago and did my first V4 just last week (aside from an obviously soft v4 I had completed a week or so before). For the next few weeks I'm going to be focusing on V4s, but I think I'm not too far from doing my first V5. I tend to be most limited by strength, so I've been doing at least an hour of workouts at home on top of climbing 3-4 times a week, to get stronger. Feeling super motivated, just wanted to share. Great video, by the way!

thanks a lot, great video :)

You got this!

Cool route, by the way are those the scarpa instinct vsr? How much u downsized them and how long did it take to break in them? I'm asking cuz i got the same pair:)

WOAH...

Hi

Nice

Hiii, for the rockworld, are there parkings for motorbikes/cars nearby?

Amazing 😂

I've designated getting up from my couch a V7. I don't care what anybody says, I'm going to be real proud when I send it one day.

I'm going to stop you right there and tell you that you need to stop worrying about what the tag says the grade is. I bet there's some V3's and maybe some random V2's out there that give you trouble even though you climb higher than that usually. It's all about the style of the climb. Do climbs that challenge you, regardless of the random grade that some stranger gave it. And remember to have fun

the route doesn't even have to be long either. Right before the crux of a problem, it's great if I get to find a stable position so I get to mentally prepare and go for the move. It might be like 2-3 seconds in real time, but that mental break is something that helps me a ton

If your worst lesson so far is a bruise, you're doing pretty damn well.

Metal meets climbing

HELL YEAHHHH, Highly underrated short

That Minecraft music wtf

Looks like a v5 to me

My gym set one of these recently! I want to try it now haha

Tf is a rose move? You just crossed hands.

Maybe your strengths just met perfectly with the wall and it really was a solid v5

Using Maplestory BGM is always a win. Nice videos!

I think your right foot cheated and used the yellow hold

I've heard things can be graded based on style. I find slab grades in my local gym are always "softer" than the overhangs. Or a dyno is graded higher than what I usually do, but after learning dyno basics, it's become a very easy route.

I have had this problem too and I think I was more happy with the idea that I had the skills or technique that make the climb hard. On the topic of your send, I think it is pretty accurately graded. You have big movements with slipper foot holds that are all angled in bad ways and after a big power heavy climb it ends with doing a pullup on two angled crimps to get a drop knee on the far left? That aint easy to do at the end of a climb and a younger you would have seen that and been like 😱 I know I would have 😂 We all plateau at some point and to make any progress during a slow period should be celebrated. Great job and keep it up bro!
