A bit of a different style of video, sometimes you gotta work by your lonesome, what do you think? Oh, and let's pretend that people actually read this and want to guess in the comments the order of difficulty of the coloured problems that were set (inclusive of the time lapse video). Don't forget to subscribe if you want to see the followup video of me climbing them, and/or if you just want to show some love.
Glad you liked it! Definitely a bit rambly, but that's just seeing behind the curtain of my scatter brain, haha. I'm just finishing editing me climbing the problems for the next video, so if you're interested, there will be some more wandering commentary posted soon. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.
Yea, that's the hope. Not sure how well it will work out when it's properly cold, but we tried it out the other week with a little space heater and it worked, so we are hopeful. Thanks for the comment!
Your setter's box satisfies my type A personality. So congrats because not many people are organized enough to impress me on that front! :P also rose moves are so underrated! I like the vlog style you've done here! When I climbed at the hub the other day after weeks of no climbing, I went hard on a crimp and may have a minor strain on my finger which has so far lasted a week. So no kidding about losing crimp strength! Weird part though is that it's my index finger. I've never injured that finger before - it's usually my strongest.
Thanks Eric! Definitely not used to the vloggy style, but I think it turned out okay, and I appreciate that you think so too. Regarding the box... I am typically not very organized, but for some reason with climbing stuff I'm better at it. I also have been nursing a minor finger injury for a few months (on top of now recovering from surgery). So definitely going to be weak for a while. My advice for finger injuries (depending on how bad they are) is to stay off them for a bit, but reintroduce exercise and loads to them. They need stimulus to repair and get nutrients to them, but just be mindful and don't over do it. I also am a believer that collagen (or probably any high quality protein really) and vitamin c taken 15-20 mins before an exercise helps, although it hasn't been studied that much. Hope the finger heals up and we can do some climbing in the spring!
@@SendStory Thanks for the advice! Interesting to think vitamin c helps, I never heard that one before! Yeah this injury seems very minor. I have sprained two fingers in the past (and my more recent broken finger from earlier this year) and this is much less pain than those so I feel like it won't last too much longer. Vicki made us a hangboard so what sucks is resisting the urge to climb on that while it heals!
Hey! They are the Atomik Golfus set. It is a full set that is fairly massive, so I think they have pretty much every style of hold in it (pinches, crimps, jugs, etc.). I would say you can probably find something to route-set with most styles in that set. I do find some of the slopers and rails pretty insignificant on over hang, but they have lots of different holds to pick from, so I am sure depending on the level of climbing you are looking for, and the angle of your wall, you can find something. I think they try to put suggested angles and uses on the individual hold pages... if I remember correctly. I am going to put together a follow-up video of me climbing these problems, so they might give you a bit more insight into how they work on a 25 degree overhang, but that probably wont be for a while and I am sure you are anxious to get some holds up on that wall. Good luck, and let me know how it goes. Oh, and feel free the ask anything else if you have questions, I have no problem trying to help out.
@@SendStory Wait, did you buy the entire set!? O.O. I'm just so amazed at how much climbing holds are. They're basically gonna cost the same as building the wall itself. I have a combo 40 degree and 15 degree wall and I greatly underestimated how hard the 40 degrees would be.
Definitely don't have the whole set, but did get quite a few. Holds are definitely more expensive than you might assume. The shipping on them can ding you too, depending on where you live and where the hold manufacturer is. So be aware of that too. I built up my hold supply over a long period of time. Try to look for some companies that offer cosmetic seconds and discounts if your budget is tight. Also think about making some wood holds to fill the gaps as you slowly get your inventory of holds. Hope that helps.

How haven't i found this channel earlier??? This is so dope. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot, appreciate the comment! I'll try!
Sweet video dude! The new holds look so nice, and the new problems seem interesting! Can't wait to get back on that wall with you two 😊
Thanks dude, hopefully in the new year things make sense to do some sessions. You know I miss the crew.
This was super great. Enjoyed your commentary on the setting! Sick wall

Awesome video, and your tarp set up looks great. Hopefully you can get some winter climbing in

Thanks yo!
What hold set did you get there?
Just got a new climbing wall and have been eyeing the atomik holds but don't know which to get.
