I rarely comment on the videos I watch. This was the first video I watched from your channel and I felt the need to say that this has been unexpectedly great in the production value and information provided in a consise manner considering the video's length. Really enjoyed watching it and want to see more from what you make. Subscribed! :)

Thanks so much! That means a lot! The goal is indeed to not make videos longer than they need to be 😊 Welcome!

[@stielbelgie]

I like the new setup!

[@tadeasulrich2946]

Awesome video! What about megos?

[@walrusclimbing]

Thanks! I'll add him to the list for sure!

Kmon, in which situation is it better to use the rubber part while hellhooking? Can only think of resting with kneepads, but its way more frequent to use the toes in this situation, isnt it?

[@emilianovezzani8751]

I didn't get either 🤔

[@walrusclimbing]

Definitely toes when putting a knee bar! I'll give it some more time but if no one gets it I'll comment the solution here! 😉

[@walrusclimbing]

So what I was going for is how when you heel hook around an arrete or on a large volume you actually use the rubber because you're actually using you foot as a hook.

@@walrusclimbing i see..

[@walrusclimbing]

What climber have you learned a lot from online?

[@RealWorldClimbing]

Magnus Midtbo. Also, I enjoy studying the movement of Jonathan Seigrist, since he has a style that I want to emulate.

[@walrusclimbing]

@@RealWorldClimbing Oh, I'll have to watch more of Jonathan's stuff! Magnus is definitely on the list so stay tuned
