for real... i had to move towns and yesterday went to the only gym around. They didn't even have a grading system and just told me to wing it. Cool if you are a pro and know what you are doing, but as a beginner it is difficult to do so or have measurable sense of progression
The easiest climbs on the 40° moonboard (somehow labelled v3) are very hard for even intermediate climbers; it's completely unapproachable for beginners
@@DaneRossenrode in my gym I did a v5-6 before I did a v3 on the moonboard haha but after breaking that barrier it was much faster to move up the grades, and the higher you go the closer it is to "normal" grades
On a 40⁰ Moonboard I started with just getting on the wall and holding the positions. After a few weeks I could move out of those positions. It took about 5 weeks to send my first V3. From then, a lot of climbs came quickly because most of the V3s use the same holds, with minor variations. It was not a lot of fun 😅
I did 7B/V8 indoor, flashed 7A+. I miserably failed a 5A/V2 on a 50° board, I couldn't get more than two moves. It's wild. And gym grades are often too damn soft
I recently started trying to Kilter Board, and I can just about climb some V3 indoor climbs. However, I cannot complete even the easiest rated Kilter Board climb (our board is set at 50°)
what the fuck do you mean v3 on the wall?? is this ragebait? thats like a v0+, if you climb v3 in the gym and fall of v3s on the board, then your gym has soft grading and youre not really climbing v3
Its just a very different style of climbing, Ive climbed at loads of gyms, even ones with community grading for all the boulders, and yeah im generally around v6-v7 on the stuff that I like, but the stuff that I like tends to be more crimpy and technical or slabby. If youre not used to the more powerful super overhung stuff board climbing can be really tough. I can only do v3-v4 on the board and thats working them for a bit because Im just no where near as good at the more burley stuff I am trying to do a lot more board climbing just now though to improve that aspect of my climbing, its for sure helping my body tension and building my explosive power (which is still shit lol)
Step 1: have a decent gym nearby with decent equipment
Step 1 failed 😢

Exactly
I wish we had an easier board than just the 40 degree moonboard

board climbing is so humbling if you only do indoor bouldering XD
so real, i cant even do a V3 while climbing V4/V5 indoor

Board climbing is my preferred method unless it’s outdoor ofc
love the dolly
The holds 🤤
The grades are so hard because the gyms just pump their grades to the sky and the board is made by a community
great tips🙌 never thought of changing from twisting to square on
true that
I've never understood the point of forcing either, surely you should utilise whatever is best technique
any tips on when to start board climbing?
Start doing Australian pull ups and body weight squats, i would say. Or, ask ChatGPT or any other AI chatbot.
climb up in a vertical fashion on a board

When you want to
Great
Is anyone familiar with the app running on the screen used for the Woody?
step 1: get stronger
in what world was that red a V3 straight jug run to the top i would say easy V1
Nothing's worse for your ego than a kilterboard
