"was I close?" "yes" Loved it ! Also, that V7 is just mean, the angle of the dyno hold is basically meant to faceplant you or whip you back into the wall... Not a fun problem lol.
3:00 super useful technique, i find myself doing it on slabs a lot. your two arms form a 'support beam' when doing this. it weird but works because it takes some of the weight of your upper body which is too far to the left of your foot, and kind of redirects it to the right of your foot, making your weight more balanced over that foot and easier to push down on it. I didnt realize thats how it worked till i watched this video and my engineering degree coming back to me.
I find myself cheering for you when you get a difficult move down like I would with my other climbing friends at the gym 💓 and I'm glad I'm not the only one afraid of running starts!! They're so intimidating and I feel like I'm gonna run into the wall face first every time ;_;
ahh that's so cute!! thanks for cheering me on :~) and i'm glad i'm not the only one!! i'm so uncoordinated, i'm surprised i haven't smacked my face into the wall yet doing a dynamic move
definitely!! projecting on camera is always tough, because i want to choose a problem that i can eventually send :-) and i don't know that before i try it! but looking forward to filming some longer projecting videos in the future!
Loved the mellow music cut in the middle as soon as Martin started to scramble over the big pink volume 😂. Also you made the static version look super smooth!
ahaha that music transition isn't the smoothest!! i actually ran into some copyright issues with the original version of this video, so re-editing it with non-copyrighted songs was sort of a challenge. and thanks! i try to go static whenever possible :~)
Very nice short video. I have to say though that these climbs look too easy for you, it’d be great to see you set a project for a bit longer. Thanks Jen see you next time Oh and p.s the reason that putting your hand on your knee helped you squat is because it creates tension in your core!
Another lovely video. Watching this with my coffee, attempting to rest hard after bouldering for 5hrs yesterday for the forth time this week :D Your hack is amazing. I would love to see the routesetters face ^^ That blue v7 ist just meant to hurt yourself. Either faceplanting the mat and twisting a wrist or stabbing yourself with a hold like shown. Damn. Have a lovely weekend. Jen (psychopueppi)
I have enough to worry about, with overhangs- outside of toe, to get opposite hand and foot, hips not squared to the wall, tension between feet and upper body, etc. I just can't do much dynamics, but it feels like it's another level that I will get to. Just like you, I run to get something and run back! Good climb, Jenn.
Lorax Tribe i totally get the feeling of overthinking everything! a lot of people say that to be good at dynos, you have to turn that part of your brain off and just go for it. maybe one day!
@@JenniferLangen You're right, and it all just needs to settle into the unconscious before I will get it. I do jump with one hand on a hold, but I don't think that counts. At Halloween, I will be climbing one year, solid, and have had so much fun the whole time.
You seem to not really be able to let go both your hands when you were trying that last dyno. Important thing for dynos is to not immediately try to do it in the first go. Try jumping towards the hold but intend to not grab it or only touch it. The better it feels then the closer you can go and try it. So maybe start out on another dyno or any kind of climb thats at least a bit overhanging to let go both of your hands and jump to get a safer feeling for that first and increase the difficulty each time instead of everything at once. I really liked the way you did that pink one statically. Looked a lot more skin friendly. Keep your sweet and warm spirit it always gives me a good feeling when watching you
that backwards dyno was crazy, i feel like id bop my head or injure myself somehow with my coordination lol also hope the car crash wasn't anything serious!!
Great video....are you still using the soill shoes? If so, which ones....I wanna try them but I don’t know much about them and I do more lead climbing and too roping than bouldering (though I really want to get into bouldering), but basically trying to pick a good everything shoe or maybe a pair for each...right now I have the la Sportiva finale and it’s decent but not good for small holds or hooking or bouldering....anyway, Love your videos and keep trying those dynos😃✌🏽(oh and you have the best music in your videos😎)
hey thanks so much!! i'm actually not wearing the soill shoes anymore, they didn't have the right fit for my feet! i haven't tried the finales, but i would recommend seeing if you can try the soill shoes at a local REI or something, just to make sure they fit your heel! mine would always pop out of my shoes. i'm wearing the la sportiva solutions here, which i love, though they're a little pricey and a little aggressive! i recommend them for bouldering if you're used to the feeling of a downturned shoe :-)
Jenn Sends Sweet, thanks Jenn...I recently also got a pair of Scarpa instinct VS and wow, talk about painful!!! Lol....They’re a really aggressive shoe with a break in period of a few weeks (so I’ve been told), so my feet have literally been in agony but I’m going to try to push through for another couple of weeks (got them last week and climbed in them a couple of times) and see how/if they break in. If not then I’ll be back to the drawing board and might try the lower volume instinct VSR. Anyhow, thanks so much for replying, best of luck with climbing and your channel and ummmmmm, happy bouldering (not good at closing out conversations, lol). Oh and I might start trying to film more at our gym (super nervy and feels weird plus I’m not sure they’d be cool with me filming), but maybe so we’ll see. But sorry for rambling and thanks again ✌🏽
You can do both :) I started with classes to prevent bad technique and all mistakes that beginners do. It's much harder to fight bad habits later. Plus training with a coach is a really cool experience and you will meet new people... and who knows, maybe your future climbing partners :)
that's what i thought!! but i've actually talked to the setters at my gym, and they always say that their slab sets turn out way "easier" than they originally anticipated. regardless of the grade, a fun climb!
Jenn Sends thanks so much for your reply!! so bummed they don’t have international shipping 😢 but the moment they do you beSt believe i’m gonna get a pair 😂❤️
SeraphinoII LOL i hope for multiple reasons they don’t watch my channel - too many people commenting about how easy the grading is, and i’m not ready to be demoralized by harder grading inside :D
Nicky Woodward Bouldering ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for what it’s worth, the routesetter who set this puts up some of my favorite routes. creative stuff, she’s a crusher. but yeah, the routesetters in my gym day that whatever they set on the slab turns out way easier than they intend
Idk, I'd say it's just an alternative beta for shorter people, which is still very difficult. I watched a lot of good climbers fail at the static method. And if you can't actually reach the bottom of the big pink volume at all when you're stood up on that first handhold (I tried and couldn't) it gets even harder.
Jenn, no running in the gym, it’s not safe
HAHAHA def the sketchiest thing i've done in the gym!!!
"was I close?"
"yes"
Loved it !
Also, that V7 is just mean, the angle of the dyno hold is basically meant to faceplant you or whip you back into the wall... Not a fun problem lol.
LOL i'd wager that i was pretty dang close.... but yeah, not into the idea of jumping backwards :~)

Love the lowkey humor (and the impressive editing that delivers it)
love the cute text on screen as always! would maybe like to see some indoor projecting?

The duck hold had us dying😂 and the static beta (2:42) was high key impressive! LOVE ALL THE VIDEOS!
Your drawings in the videos are always so cute ;)
Impressive static beta on that pink. Get'em
I really want to try that last dyno again...

The knee push is a next level strat.
in my opinion, the only strat since a double dyno is the absolute last resort

ahh thanks so much! luckily, no one involved in the accident was injured :~)
Been climbing for 25 years and I never could get the hang of dynos always have to find a static work around 😒
I really enjoyed this one. Nice work. Your doing great!! 💪🤨✊
thanks so much!! :-)
*wakes up from coma* oh boy I can’t wait to see more creative and low waste uses for almonds!
Broke my ankle rock climbing but these videos make me so happy ☺️
oh no!! i'm so sorry to hear that!! i hope your ankle feels better and heals super fast :-)
hey me too!! in four places!! threes years later and i’m back in the gym. you will be too friend, hang in there :)
I’m actually working on a Dyno at my University’s gym! I actually just got to it today. It was on a 5.10b so dope timing!
woooah a dyno on a roped climb? (i'm assuming that a 5.10b is a grade given to a sport route) now that's something i have to see...
That dyno hack was impressive
Can you make a video of you trying lead?
LOL I PLAN ON IT!! i need to take a class first :-)
Hey Jenn don't worry you are awsome!! No running in the gym! 😂😂💖💖 xx
Edit: also Jenn now I can do v2 and as I said I'm only 11 and I love you so much!
congrats!! i'm so happy for you! v3 next :~) cheering you on as always!!

"Was I close?"
"Yeah"
Good boyfriend answer!
I’ve been thinking about starting bouldering and idk if i should take classes or just go and climb at a gym
You can do both :) I started with classes to prevent bad technique and all mistakes that beginners do. It's much harder to fight bad habits later. Plus training with a coach is a really cool experience and you will meet new people... and who knows, maybe your future climbing partners :)
If you can statically do a V6 dyno, is it really a V6 dyno? Genuinely do climbs ever get set like that; wouldnt it make one or the other much easier
that's what i thought!! but i've actually talked to the setters at my gym, and they always say that their slab sets turn out way "easier" than they originally anticipated. regardless of the grade, a fun climb!
very epic jenn.. keep it up!!
unrelated but i love your pants! where are they from? ❤️
hi!! they're the rectrek pants from outdoor voices :-) i have a 20% off referral code in the description of this video!
Jenn Sends thanks so much for your reply!! so bummed they don’t have international shipping 😢 but the moment they do you beSt believe i’m gonna get a pair 😂❤️
POST THE VIDEO YA LATE!
Also great video I loved it!👍
We stan Jumpy Jenn
I ran into the wall once trying out a dyno problem
oh shoot, that's what i'm always afraid of!
Be careful! If some routesetter of your gym watch this video you will find all of those problems jump raised XD
SeraphinoII LOL i hope for multiple reasons they don’t watch my channel - too many people commenting about how easy the grading is, and i’m not ready to be demoralized by harder grading inside :D
@@JenniferLangen Usually keyboard warriors, to see a proble and to try it are 2 different things!
the trick is to just go for it hehe
I thought the thumbnail was photoshopped 🤣
Bouldering Vlog LOL it’s photoshopped, but only to add fun little accents :-) that bigass hold is real. big fan of your channel, btw!
Jenn Sends 🤣🤣🤣 yea that’s what I meant
V-dyno in my gym
Make your vids longer!
Pretty poor route setting if you can break the dyno beta that easy by going static.

I wish my gym had a V5 like that haha you weren't kidding when you said your gyms grades are soft. I really thought you were exaggerating a little
If you're climbing in a hat or climbing in bluejeans you're just limiting yourself. Just don't do it.
artisdying lol
POST THE VIDEO YA LATE!
Also great video I loved it!👍
haha soon, i'm on vacation rn!
