Creating A Very Special Move
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Today we are routesetting with Cheech, The head routesetter of First Ascent. We are once again in the sick gym, first ascent humboldt park.
Cheech Is going out of his regualar style of building and tries to create a very special move that we rarly see in the gyms these days, mainly because they are really tricky to get right and consume a lot of time.
Luckily Cheech was determined to create this problem and we were all happy he could make it happen!

I love route setters. They're like the mystical wise wizards of the climbing world. Great video, I really liked the background music choice in this one.
Ah sweet, i really like this kind of music with the routesetters :)
A bathang and a figure 4 on the same problem! Awsome!
I'm new to climbing but it's not hard to put two and two together in that route-setters are artists in their craft. Cool to see how a problem unfolds.
As a routesetter myself I can agree that you don't see that move rarely at all in bouldering. It is harder than it looks to set a route and have it be climbed the way you imagined. Good video, crazy fun looking boulder problem. I like that routesetter's style.
Yeah figure 4s are more for ice climbing
Very true, and to set one up is tricky for any routesetter, everything has to be set up just the right way in order for it to work. The figure 4 is still a fun move to do once one figures it out
Agreed, some contortionist-y moves like these are really tricky to force, especially when you try to set within a grade, and not just "bloody murder difficult"
So excited to see Michaela! She's one of my fave climbers!
Eric, while you're on gym gym touring spree you should totally visit "Oslo klatresenter" in Norway and meet up with Magnus Midtbø. It's his home gym where he trains everyday. A pretty cool gym with exciting features. He's a youtuber himself and it would be cool to see you create some episodes together.
yeah his gym looks really sweet, hopefully i can visit in the near future :)
Bring Nikken & Tor!! :D
@@EricKarlsson And the rest is history.. :D
This guy is insanely and so quietly strong at the same time...
Indeed he is. His boulder are not quiet though, they are sandbagged!
LOVE the routesetting vids! keep em coming!
will do :D
Probably above my skill level but that is one of the coolest problems ive seen!
Watching an artist at work... so so so pumped to climb there
you gonna be there for the grand opening?
I wish :( If I was in Chicago I would, but I am at school in Iowa at the moment
Cheech is a great setter (used to set at my local gym) happy to see him featured as I haven't seen him in years! His routes flow very well and are always fun. Neat to see the process.
Ah cool that you know him, will you be here for the grand opening?
Hope to be, the gym looks amazing! I love that you are covering First Ascent.
Seeing michaela Kiersch was such a surprise! Loved this video. I really enjoy the route setting vids :)
Very cool problem. Hope to see more of this gym and Cheech in the future.
calling nikken is gonna skip that figure four
edit: lmao
love anything related to climbing already, but this music is just so good! keep coming back to this video.
Probably the coolest problem I've ever seen! The route setting vids are really cool
Glad you liked it man :D
Amazing vid. This guy is a beast! And awesome to watch his setting process
yeah Checch is super strong :D
Came looking for ideas for setting on my home wall...was very surprised to see my favorite setter! I miss you guys.
This is the best route setting video I have ever watched. It is really well explained and the way it is edited together really works well. Thanks.
As it seems so many do, I too love the route setting videos, and would love to hear even more of the strategies behind the process. Cheech seems so chill! :)
Ill see if i can find new interesting ways of getting the story across :)
woah I loved this video. this type of story telling style is amazing. I would love to see more!
Glad you liked it! :D
Awesome setting! Very creative.
So awesome. I love route setters vids! Keep having fun, and I look forward to seeing more :D
Oh my Gawd! This looks to be the best gym in Chicago for bouldering...
I can't wait to get home and try it!
Was definitely my favorite out of all the gyms that I climbed at in Chicago :)
This is your best episode. Really like the new style of editing. Excellent camera work. Nice job dude.
Maan thanks a lot
Excellent vid. Super nice guy (Cheech), I like to see how he developed the problem. Really excellent. Thanks a lot!
Yeah Cheech is a super nice guy, really stoked he was able to join us :D
Good video.
God luck with your brand new climbing gym.
Lol, he looked like an iceclimber with that move 💪
really well done video and cracking venue! keep it up guys!
Loving the routesetting videos, very informative. Keep 'em coming!
Will do Noah!
BEST routesetting video so far!! Chapeau!
Thanks Johannes! :D
This is my favourite video of yours in a while, so interesting and fun!
Thanks a lot! :D
What a move! Never seen that one awesome!
Nice boulder! Nikken looked so happy 😊 Job well done everyone♡
Thanks ^_^
i would definitly love to see more routesetting vids!!
Once i come back to sweden there will be more of it :)
genius episode! would love to see more setting episodes like that ;)
Awesome problem and video
I REALLY want to try that white problem! It looks so cool
Ahh, the setting process. This video depicts the changes and thoughts of a setter well.
YASSS more videos with route setters!!! We want to know theyre thought process
:D:D
Okay I think I would have to work on my strength but I'd love to try it once it just looks amazing!
Really well done video and topic. Keep it up.
Awesome vid Eric :) keep up the good work
Will do Fares!
oh shit! first ascent! brings back memories
Loved the background music on this video. Good choice!
Thanks man :D
looks fun
Nikken just beasts through the problem like it's nothing!
A friend of mine has been wanting to set a figure 4 , but every time he does, we just hack it by campusing it. Appreciate the mentioning of some considerations for setting that specific moves!
That looked like a really fun climb, im gonna try to remember chicago if i ever go to america
He seems like such a nice guy!!
He sure is! :D
lol this video really made me feel like dropping out of medschool LOL. i miss climbing and being able to set and climb all day sounds like a dream. great video man.
haha there will be plenty of time in life to climb and set problems ;D
That move seems very similar with the movement in Ice climbing, but it´s the first time i see in bouldering jaja
Greetings from Chile!
Awesome episode!
That was such a cool vlog. Wish I lived in Chicago now. :-(
I watched like half of the video and was just looking at a guy in the back and thought "Is that Nikken? He sorta looks like Nikken..." Turns out...it was Nikken😂😂😎
I have climbed this route setter's problems for 5 years. He's made me cry once or twice lol (semi joke), but I'm a better climber today because of him and his crew. I'm also healthy and strong because of him.
Psyched to hear it :D
Nice set. Now I need to build some strength and figure how to set my own figure 4 problem.
It would be really cool to let the fans know ahead of time what gym and when you guys are visiting! Have a meet up sort of, it'd be cool to climb with you guys.
Loved this episode
It looks so fun, i want to be able to do climbing like that. But i guess it will take a few more years to get to that level.
Those finger pockets look gnarly af :D fun problem.
Man awesome vid, love it!!
Cheers! :D
Now with second camera to see eric filming :D great episode mate!
haha ;D
wow so cool
Yay for Michaela!!!! :D
Wow nice one
How high are those walls? They really high for bouldering.
And that figure-four move is insane.
really nice problem dude!!
fricking awesomee!!!
Very cool vid!
Film something with michaela! Ask her how to climb so smooth? She's a crusher
Love it
This problem is beautiful! Watch the camera focus though ;)
sick
Nice!
Being from Chicago, love FA! You guys coming to DC anytime soon? :D
I hope so! Think i will stay in Sweden for a while now, but next year maybe ;D
Very nice problem.
5:33 you can see it in his eyes he wants to jump it ;D
Fuck yeah Cheech
;D how is your injury boi?
bad haha. out for a few months at least
What'd you do dude?? Get well soon.
thanks dude! full AC separation. it's fucked.
Shoot, @Adin. Is it the superior ligament (connecting to the clavicle) or intra-scapular? Both rough injuries to go through...
Can someone explain how the figure 4 is beneficial, just seems like the weight of the leg around your arm can cause you to fall off a hold
Im fairly new to climbing, but I think its like a lock-off where you can stabilize your lower body? Cause otherwise you would have to campus it like Nikken which is harder.
I think in both cases, you're still supporting your weight with just the 1 hand, but figure 4 makes that sequence more static and controlled
Thanks!
TwistinFool i think it's to push too. Like when you do a one arm pull up, it's easier if you put your other hand on your bicep to push... am i being clear? Sorry for bad english
It's a good rest - you can let go of anything but the holding hand. And you can reach pretty far from there (already in a "locked" type position).
it can offer extremely good static reach above anything else
nice move ! nice music ! gj ;)
Then they opened the wall, people fell over and over on that move and were told: "You just got Cheeched"!!!
Sweet first problem
looked like a sick route well made after how it looked for me
NANANANANNA BATHANG!! Awesome problem
So I'm very very new to Bouldering, but I was wondering: what is the benefit of doing a figure four? Does it make your body more stable when you're making that move?
Chichuan is the man!
Super
More route setting :D
I’m on the team.
Excuse my ignorance, but I just recently started climbing and am wondering about the figure 4... WHY? What are the advantages of that move? I would have thought moving my leg over my arm would upset my balance point and add more strain to the arm the leg is hanging on.
Someone please enlighten me, so I can go and try this move myself :)
Thank you!
I'm a climbing novice, but i fell in love with the figure 4 the first time i saw it. I think the benefit is that it helps bring your hip higher and closer to the wall when there is no good foot. However, I was told that "if you can do a figure 4 to hit the next hold, you can do it without a figure 4". I've found this to mostly be true. You're putting a lot of weight on your hand, so the hold has to be good for a figure 4. If the old is THAT good... might as well just campus or dyno. Go try it out, it's fun and makes you look like like you know what youre doing... maybe?
This guy is so cool. All I can say. Ahaha
:D:D
Nikken & I have the same shoes 😎 love the music... I’m so sick of the typical techno music in climbing vlogs ...and gyms for that matter.
what grade does Cheech climb on?? He looks mad strong!!!!
I think around 7C/8A outside, if i remember correctly :)
Thanks for your reply Eric!! keep up the good work!!!
I think your choice of Music ist in point Good Job
Yeees 4:38 ;D
Video with Michaela coming up?
We didnt have time this trip sadly, but maybe next time :)
How do you become a route setter?
Erik it seems like your focus is a bit off when people are talking in the interview parts of the video i.e. 0:30
Did Nikken not try to cheat the final form?
