After my first outdoor bouldering session, which was awesome, I still can't imagine how gym climbing would ever be ruined for me! It just gives you that many more options for climbing!
That’s the right attitude! Ruined isnt the right word… but I did stop falling asleep thinking about my plastic projects lol. 😂 The gym becomes the place for preparation rather than performance IMO
Just sounds like to me that the grading isn't comparable in a gym vs a rock. I'm a beginner who can only just do a V1 in the gym and honestly this was kinda disheartening or a reality check for me going with my friends outdoor climbing next month for the first time that I'm just not going to find a climb I'm capable of doing.
Gym grades are way off for sure, but I think the time commitment is one of the biggest differences… for example, I expect to flash most V4s in the gym but outside could be a multi session project, but once the beta is dialed it can sometimes kinda still feel like a hard V4 lol
The hardest part of bouldering (outdoor) for me is that I never feel like I can get into a flow. It’s like speed dating the rock. Also 2:39 looks like hell on earth.
😂 they are so hard for V1! Would definitely recommend another go on In The Beginning. When you find the right little crimpy spots to hit down low it starts to come together quick and is a really fun climb
It's been a while since you posted a non-short video, I'm looking forward to the next one. 🤩 I also just posted a new video from when I went outdoor rock climbing up to 5.11a in Japan! Hope you check it out! 🙏🙏🙏
Gym climbing is already ruined for me. I liked the little edit where that one guy popped off the screen without affecting the flow of your climb. That was nifty
Also I got a horrific v1 for you at elephant rock state park in missouri. It’s called knob job and has one hold (a knob) on a 15+ foot blank slab. Fun stuff. I never sent it.
Yes, but you can train indoors until early September. I usually start going outdoors before the season starts to get acclimatized to outdoor climbing. Takes me about 3-5 sessions to get used to moving outside.

Don’t let it dishearten you! Worth pushing thru for sure 💪

lol yeah I know what you mean. The taller easy ones are quite good for that but also come with a bit of risk… lol 2:39 😂 I know…
Climbing outdoors is far superior to the gym 🙌🙌🙌
This is the truth
Those two Morrison boulders were some of the first outdoor boulders I ever tried, still haven't sent either!

Dude I know! I haven’t been editing lately as part of my wrist rehab but hoping to get back on it soon. Sounds sweet, I’ll check it out now!
@@TheJustinConnor take care of yourself first but I'm glad you'll watch it I hope you like it!
Now compare the inverse problem of moon board Vs outdoor!
Excellent idea 🤔
but the colors
I do like the colors
And your name

lol yeah man. I feel like a hollow shell of a man in the gym… thanks dude
Why the hell would you move from colorado to texas lol. Major downgrade.
lol I know man… we’re here 9 months for the gf mostly, then back to CO!
@@TheJustinConnorsweet. You should train on moonboard/tension/kilter whatever when youre there and come back a beast.

😂 definitely plan to get strong! Step 1 is a little wrist and hamstring rehab tho… I’ve heard of elephant rock but never been
lol knob job
You're in Austin?
For 9 months!
If you’re interested, I can show you the best (and worst) climbing in CenTex.
That would be great, I have no idea what it has to offer. You get out in these temps?
Yes, but you can train indoors until early September. I usually start going outdoors before the season starts to get acclimatized to outdoor climbing. Takes me about 3-5 sessions to get used to moving outside.

Yo, that’d be sweet! Yeah we’re here until April. Not sure if you mean now or when it cools off lol but I’ll hit you up over on IG 🤙
