Did you guys try to guess how things would climb? How'd you do? Did you feel differently about the problems after seeing them climbed than you did when they were set? Let us know, and give us a thumbs up if you want to make our day.
Just binged this entire series of videos surrounding the wall, absolutely loved it all and super entertaining. Quality is great too! Loving the vids brother
Thanks a bunch. It means a lot, especially that you worked your way through all of them. I've been trying to get better with each video. Hope all is well, thanks again for the compliments.
What style of setting are you doing? I definitely found setting a few intentional problems meant that filling in the rest for spray was a lot easier and you could be less precious about it.
I think you've mastered the highlighting route markers that we all struggle with to show which holds are part of the problem. I haven't seen any that have been satisfactory on youtube until yours. In my videos I did a "selective colour" thing to try and highlight the holds that are part of the route but I didn't like that it forced me to make the whole video black and white with the exception of the holds. I like your masked and motion tracked circles. Really polished and clear. Also, you might actually have a genuinely good use for DJI ronin's raveneye active tracking system. If you don't know what that is, basically it is an add-on for their gimbal that allows the camera to automatically move the camera to stay focused on the subject. So you basically have a robot camera operator that can track you moving up and down the wall. It may be overkill but if you ever find that Laura is tired of helping you film and you don't want all your shots to be static tripod shots, you've got a legitimate reason to invest in that system. I've always wanted it but can't find a situation on my channel that would actually call for it. How are you healing?
Thanks Eric. I think highlighting holds like this will also be pretty clear when I do it on footage of some of my outdoor boulders... hopefully. Is that the tracking system on the new r2? Definitely been eying that and for the same reason as you, I haven't got it. This is definitely just a hobby, although it would be great if it was more sustainable than that, and it's hard to invest in equipment. I do feel like I could make good use of it now though. Healing is going well, some days I feel better than others, but definitely getting better. Not sure if it is nerves regenerating or what, but some days I feel really good, then the next I have these weird random pains. Anyhow, I should be able to start exercising again next week, which I'm stoked for! Hopefully I can make the most of 2021. Happy new year dude!
@@SendStory Yeah. Until it becomes sustainable, definitely no need for expensive equipment but that's what was flashing through my head as I was watching :p. And yep the RS2 and RSC2 line. Glad to hear you're almost ready to start exercising again. Take your time, don't rush and get reinjured. That's something I always do! Haha happy new year!!
@@thisiseric I haven't been able to really work my core since well before the surgery, so I am pretty excited to hopefully fully recover and maybe even be stronger! Fingers crossed. Thanks again!
Honestly, it really depends. Some I managed to set pretty quick, like the pink problem where I barely adjusted the holds while setting it. I feel like the harder I purposely tried to make a problem, the longer it took and required more minor tweaking. I'd say the ones in this video took 30 - 2ish hours each. I doubt I'm the most efficient setter, haha.
maybe I missed it, but have you tried moving the wall up 10 degrees to work on your difficult projects? Could be a good way to train as the problem will still be difficult but may help you hone your skills on the route before making it more difficult again. Cool wall and video
The original position was 45, then we decided to bump it up to 35 because we didn't have many super positive holds and honestly felt pretty week for not climbing for months. Obviously this time, as mentioned in the video, we set it to 25 degrees to kind of do what you were saying. Some of the holds are pretty near impossible at less of an angle so this helped us set some different stuff. Technically I designed it so the wall could be set to 10 degrees, but I haven't done that yet, it gets pretty tall (especially being on a deck) and I feel like it might limit what we could set. Adjusting it totally works, as shown, but it is a bit of work and definitely heavier with all the holds on... as lazy (ie busy) people, we really don't adjust it until we are ready to reset the problems. With the square footage of climbing surface, we find it easier to set challenging problems the more overhung it is. Especially considering the main reason we built the wall was to maintain our climbing fitness/possibly even get stronger, the more overhanging the better, so we have set it back to 45. If you managed to build a bigger wall, you could get away with more subtle angles and get a lot out of it. Thanks for the comment!
@@SendStory very cool. Thanks for the in depth answer. I missed you saying you moved it to 25 degress. My bad. I was going to do your design but my 12 year old daughter might get hurt if she tries adjusting the wall on her own so we are going to design one that looks like the Escape brand wall but place the tip of the triangle on the fulcrum of the wall and add a hand crank and gear to it. That way we can easily tilt in any angle without fear of her hurting herself or a friend (or myself lol). I don’t see any designs like this out there so I am making it from scratch. Here goes nothing 🤞
@@sciencesaves I have seen a few, but not on RUclips, just in random corners of the internet. I would still be careful with a winch, anything mechanically loaded can be dropped/fail under the right (will, I guess, wrong) circumstances. I would still do any adjusting for her, regardless of the design and make sure there is an easy way to lock it in place when adjusting. Also, just a note, we actually find we don't have to reset or adjust it much, and often problems climb the best at the angle they are set at. If you have a good fill of the wall, there are nearly endless possibilities, styles, and difficulties at whatever angle it is set at, so you don't HAVE to reset or adjust - just use different holds. A good example is how the moonboard doesn't change angles but there are like thousands of problems from v3 to who knows what without ever changing the holds or angles. The adjustability is more or a luxury than necessity, and making up problems using random holds you have filled in on the wall can be a good game in and of itself. Good luck with your build and feel free to share what you end up with, sounds interesting!

Nice! I have been waiting for this vid! Setting on my homewall has been surprisingly hard.

Awesome video and love the idea. Really dig the music as well. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks a bunch, really appreciate it!
More tight low angle shots please! ❤️
Like right at bum level? Gotcha.
Sick content! Keep crushing :)
We'll try! Thanks a bunch, appreciate it!
Great video, and looks like some good route setting. How long do you think a typical problem takes to set?
