Amigos in Albarracin | Bouldering w/ Jesus Muñoz Chuchi Climber, Roci, & Gala
What's better than amigos in Albarracin?! Climbing duh!
We're back with another video of shenanigans in Albarracin bouldering with Jesus Muñoz Chuchi Climber, Roci, and Gala. This footage is from May 2024 over a long weekend before extending our Albarracin trip by an extra few days (second installment also available on our channel).
Come with us as we try some banger boulder problems 6B to 7C+ across Albarracin in sectors like Entre Aguas, La Mezquita, La Frontera, and Ronin.
Please note that the grades listed are according to local consensus and are relative when compared to other boulders in Albarracin. Climb and have fun! 🙈

    Awesome video! I’m a professional pole vaulter. I completely ruptured my a2 in my right ring finger while not warmed up for a small pocket. Unfortunately my right hand takes the most force while vaulting. I have loads of questions, but mainly these: When did your inflammation return to normal? My injured finger is the same size and it’s been 4 weeks post injury. When were you able to dyno to a comfortable jug? Once I’m healed to that level I think I’ll be good to try vaulting again. Thanks!

      Hey Trevor, thanks for the comment! Sometimes my finger joints are stiff and enlarged after a hard day of climbing...especially during hotter months or after lots of crimping. When I had this injury, I wasn't able to make a full, tight fist for a handful of weeks. I could still close the hand but not with full force or free of pain.

    • @AlexTighe
      @AlexTighe 7 месяцев назад

      Thanks for checking out the vid. Hope your finger heals up quick! Sometimes it would get a little purple or a faint dark red from the tape, but I could usually tell when I made it too tight because I couldn't bend my finger at all. In that case, I'd just re-do it to allow some movement. You might need to re-do it in the middle of a session because the tape eventually stretches.

      Really appreciate that Josh! We are fortunate to have access to quite a bit of outdoor bouldering venues within a two hour radius (and sport crags if I dare hop in a harness 😅). Targasonne gets a bit hot for my liking in summer since I know what friction is like in winter. When it gets warmer, I'll shift over and focus on indoor climbing during the week that consists of the Moonboard and some weighted finger boarding. I get the most enjoyment being outdoors, so we usually save weekends in summer for going out...even if it's in the 90's! We just cut the grade way down and use the heat to explore new places for the upcoming season.

    Cool, straightforward video without any unnecessary verbiage, great job. If I understand correctly, the Vauxhall (Opel) Combo Life's second row of seats is not designed to be removed (like, for example, in a VW Caddy) - did it take you long to take them out, and do you think it would be feasible to do this on an occasional basis - for example, if gong away for a brief holiday - and then re-install them afterwards?

    • @AlexTighe
      @AlexTighe 9 месяцев назад

      Really appreciate your comment David! It's been a while since we've done a talking video. Maybe we should try one again soon when we get our Dacia Duster which we hope to put a platform in too! Our rear passenger seats are still in the vehicle and to be honest, we never considered taking them out. I'm not sure if it would be easy or not (we are not good with cars, woodwork, etc). For our use, there wasn't a reason to remove them. We have enough storage space for 2-3 days worth of food, several weeks of clothing, bedding like pillows and down blanket, and tons of rock climbing gear. We do not have a second battery, heating, refridgerator, potty, or portable shower. Maybe removing the seats would be helpful if you'd like more creature comforts. The major hassle we have is certainly storing food in warm months. We typically go climbing 2 days and buy meats or fresh goods to cook immediately when we take rest days. The shower is solved with water bottles or a trip to camp grounds/local pools. It stays pretty warm inside even in winter, but we do bring feather sleeping bags in case temps drop alot. All in all, we are pleased!

      @@AlexTighe thanks for the quick reply! That's interesting _ I couldn't tell from the side view through the open door that the bed frame was propped up on the folded seats (I thought the struts were resting on the floor). I was thinking of trying a cheap and easy camping/sleeping arrangement (just placing a blow-up mattress on the floor/folded seats), but the folded seats slope upwards, so not sure how comfortable that would be. I'm planning to buy a Vauxhall Combo Life in the new year. I was hoping to get a Berlingo, but they rarely come with petrol engine/auto gearbox in the UK. Combo Life looks a great option, though. Although I'm not really into climbing, I took a look at your channel videos and it looks like you were a gymnast at Temple. I studied and taught in the US for 16 years, and my masters level exercise physiology teacher (Vince Paolone) studied at Temple. I think his brother (Al Paolone, maybe?) actually taught ex phys at Temple.

      ​@@davidrowe8747 No problem! Happy to help out if I can. We once slept in the back of a Subaru Forester with just yoga mats over the sloping seats (it was pouring rain and our tent leaked). It wasn't the most comfortable experience to say the least. I bet you could probably come up with a way to reduce the slope though. I know they are starting to phase out some of the boxey style vans in diesel to bring in hybrid or electric versions. Hopefully you can score a nice one! The last name Paolone actually sounds familiar. What a small world! Cheers from the Pyrenees!
