Baba who are you amk

Perhaps what would help you keep a routine like this going in spite of being bored with it is if you had a buddy to talk to while doing your training, or you were listening to an audio book or podcast or something.

The moonboard is not sandbagged, it is accurate to the difficulty of outdoor bouldering grades. The problem is that gym grades are soft

Moon board is hard. Yes my guy.

Didn't even give the man chalk for most of his session, he'd have climbed V7 lol

Damn, Mike’s out bouldering on Aldhani right in front of the garrison

Inspiring effort and confirms what I imagined about Tom, he's a top bloke.

Now, 8 months later: Did he come back to bouldering?

Please try the kilter board next!

oke ill start working on the moonboard transformer

you should try kilter board i think its better easier to learn and nicer holds

You have just discovered that board climbs do not have grade inflation like gym routes do. The lowest levels will feel sandbagged- in reality, they're accurate to outdoor. In addition, moonboard, except the mini, is probably right dead center on the true grades. Tension is about a half grade sandbagged, kilter about a half grade featherbagged, and moonboard right in the middle.

@MikeBoydClimbs I usually try to avoid beta spray, but it seems worth pointing out that your shoes are far from ideal for steep board climbing. I imagine you'd see noticeable improvement just by getting a pair of more aggressive shoes.

That Tom episode is so genuine, mans was straight up chuffed and it was so fucking wholesome

Not watched yet, if the answer to this is "no", try again!

If you think moonboard is hard, try climbing outside! Your mid will be blown!

you can't be better than something that doesn't exist

You gotta have a flash attempt before working the climb. Ya never know you might flash it. Flashing a climb is a great feeling especially when you just climb without thinking and intuitively climb it well. Anyway I think it's fun to try flash even hard stuff at your limit. Nice work on your progress mate.

This first 2024 looks weird in its dimensions (holespacing). Possible Goonboard?

very interesting!

Nice video. maybe i should do more moonboard and kilterboard stuff too.

You'll have to come and try my garage board mike 😁

Perfectly summarizes the experience... welcome to the club! Next video: pulley injury from being addiced to board climbing and ignoring the niggles in your fingers. We've all been there... ;-)

My climbing gym has 3 kilter boards and i really really like them. I usually use the route options, as i train for longer climbs, but it is really nice to have different angles. As we are able to set one of the kilter boards to -10 degrees, i am thinking about setting a slab problem :D

Your videos are so goodddd man Keep up the great work

mate you need to loose some weight. climbing will become easier if your lighter. I noticed this alot. I was to heavy and got better in climbing when i slowly start to loose weight

I think one thing that helped me with board climbing that most people fail to realize is that you don’t HAVE to climb what’s on the app. The lowest is v3 but you can make your own v2 or v1 climbs as if it were a spray wall. Just climb up a ladder and get used to the holds. I spent a lot of time doing spray stuff before I got consistent with the apps. Doesn’t hurt to do your own training.

during covid i managed to buy the old moonboard holds from my local gym for 300usd since they got new ones. while a great deal for moonboard holds i didnt appreciate the pully injury that i had just paid $300 for and the two years of nagging finger pain.

hearing that chalk was painful

Definitely give the Kilter board and TB a try. All 3 boards have been helpful in different ways for me! The Kilter board especially feels more beginner friendly since the entire outline of the hold lights up! And the holds are a little more incut. The TB2 really helps with footwork since there are some wooden footholds that really force you to keep tension in your whole body.

Hi, dab police here. 14:51 that’s a dab. 😜

moonboard 2024 is a whole other Story.

Dude your progress is insane for only 100 hours. Big stuff man 💪

The main difference I see in your technique after the month is the better tension in the feet and the twisting, which you did not do on the board in your fist tries! This was a major improvement I got from the board as well, realising how often and how MUCH the twisting actually can make a move easier on overhangs, or even possible. Great video seeing you learn! BUT be careful with your pulleys on the board, 10 percent of trying to hard for 2 moves can already be too much, don't ever try too hard on the board when tired, I got a tweeky finger just from trying one hard climb myself, "quickly checking out the new moonboard" in january at the end of a normal session. Nothing serious, but 5 weeks of annoying pain and less climbing!

Feels like my first session on the kilter 😆 But I think compared to modern climbing gym routes boards are closer to the reality and that's why people think they're sandbagged. It's just the commercial nature of the gym that makes us cocky and then when we see what actually the grade should look like we get that loud slap 😁

ive heard that the grade equivelant on the board is half youre bouldering grade XD

Moonboard is sandbagged yes, but not by that much, rather commercial gyms have just gotten softer to appeal towards beginners, moonboard is actually a more accurate representation of what the grades actually are, we’re just not used to them anymore

Tension tension tension. Learning to keep your feet on with board climbing takes a fat minute

The moonboard is not sandbagged. I will die on this hill. Relative to proper outdoor grades I find its fairly accurate and occasionally soft. Compared to modern indoor grades it's sandbagged. There's been a huge ammount of grad inflation indoors in the last 20 years to accommodate egos and encourage newer climbers to feel a sense of progress. It's primary purpose is as a training tool to get stronger for outdoor bouldering. So it has a grade scale and user base who are more familiar with outdoors grades.

Could you pls do a spar wall video (if there’s one available)?

So much cringe!

If you think the moonboard app is bad try take a look at kilter or TB😂 you cant even filter by holds, good luck trying to find a climb left on the board by the previous user

Be careful not to do too many or long (2h+) sessions on it. And back off if your fingers hurt. Also got injured on it

go climb jean jeanie
