The optimal strategy for this seems to me to be a "Treadwall max" - moving boulder wall. They are fairly rare, but they'd solve the auto-belay down time whilst also solving the repetitive fall issue you experience here.
@@mrrose1681 you could put a piece of tape and measure how much track is in feet per rotation then determine how many "laps" you need. Definitely harder to determine but could be easier
@@MrBoubource What? So with that logic people on treadmill also wont run any miles because they stay stationary? Ofcourse if someone is staying at same height on treadwall they need to lift their body or they would go to ground.
YOOOO I started my climbing journey at that gym 10 years ago or so. Glad to see it modernizing by adding features like the boards while still maintaining the back-of-a-trucking-depot grungy vibe.
I do think this cord would be fairly easy to beat if you were on a bigger wall and in place of the auto belay you just had a belayer who could lower you faster. I also think the rappel time you get is good rest time!
Whoever tries to belay for that long will have a real neck injury unless they get belay glasses... But honestly I think it saves nothing in the end; the slower autobelay descent is good resting time; if the descent is faster, the climber will just get more tired more quickly, and end up taking breaks earlier/longer. So, no point in having some poor soul belaying for 2 hours 😅 Nevermind the chance of serious injury when the exhausted/unfocused belayer drops the climber to the deck
I've done "El cap" challenges in the gym before for speed and you just sort of run forwards as the belayer giving more of a "soft catch" than a regular lower
@@Mythricia1988 this is only fair if you assume the record can't be done much faster. I honestly think the record could be done in 30-45 minutes by the right endurance nut job
I love how he is tapping on the end of each ascent so he burns additional energy and achieving absolutely nothing since he has the watch in his pocket, world record too easy, lets make it harder i guess
I'd love to see Toby Segar try to break this record! He's used to jumping from heights and taking impact, and the multi pitch climbs done with Pete show he's got some lever of endurance too 😁
Pete's endurance is far higher. He proved that when he out "hung" all 7 of Storror. I feel you should climb down about a meter and then jump and roll. Also wear gloves or use lots of tape.
@@TonyFisherPuzzles Oh absolutely, and probably any trad climber's endurance for that matter. It's just the constant jumping down in this boulder mile record that would more likely become the restricting factor for climbers, which is what parkour people in general would do well with. Since there's no limit for how easy the route can be, and anyone can climb a ladder, pure climbers aren't necessarily the best suited for this record. Just needs to be someone who can both climb and jump, and has enough endurance to keep it up for an hour and a half or so.
I dont know about how acclimated to falls you would need to be to make this any better. I feel like taking 500 ground falls in 2 hours from 2 meters up is likely still really bad for you no matter how gracefully you roll into every fall
@@kropotkln Probably yes. But I think it would be more about landing techniques than being acclimated to falls really. Most climbers, even boulderers don't really practise landings, since 1) they don't do that many repetitions on a normal session, spending way more time either going up or resting, 2) they've got mattresses or pads to lessen the impact, and 3) the landing part isn't what interests them in the sport, and quite often is an actual fall rather than a voluntary jump down (since they try hard stuff and don't top most of the times unlike in this challenge, and when they get to the top they often down climb a bit as recommended). In parkour on the other hand landings are a big thing, and they've got many different techniques for that alone, so they can vary how to land and dampen much more of the impact than Branden here did. Not even by rolling most of the times, just by using a wider range of muscles and styles and a better form. Plus they usually train on concrete, and often take much higher drops than just 2m, so this landing part should be easier on their bodies even with more repetitions than it is to any climber. The bigger issue I see with parkour people is that they're usually more sprinters than endurance athletes. Which is why I suggested Toby, who also does some trad climbing and has demonstrated being able to climb for a longer time than parkour athletes usually do. I'm not saying he'd absolutely be able to do this, just that I'd love to see him try 😁
Very nice climb! The official rule is that one measures the height from the ground to the hold that one grabs at the top (one hand grab). So yes one gets the distance from ground to top of reach for free. This does indeed make for an advantage for shorter walls and taller climbers. Guinness limits this advantage by requiring the wall to be at least 7m (about 23ft). Since the watch is in the climber's pocket here, it's theoretically measuring the distance from pocket at bottom to pocket at top, and so quite a number of feet are not getting recorded. This presumably more than compensates for the shorter-wall benefit of the bouldering wall. So it's possible that you actually beat my record, though not by Guinness rules. :-) I share the worry of some commenters about the altitude watch's precision at short distances, but I think this is actually to the climber's disadvantage. For instance, the Coros website says that in a workout the watch monitors altitude every two seconds. So if one jumps off right away, there is a good chance the watch won't catch the altitude at the top. The web also notes that altimeter readings are affected by wind. This makes sense to me: if air blows into an altimeter's barometer, it increases the air pressure, which is interpreted as a lower altitude. So the falls could end up getting interpreted as going down to a lower altitude than they are. That could inflate the distance. I don't know if pockets would prevent this effect. In any case, in terms of unofficial records, I am quite sure that when Tim Klein set his official indoor height-of-Everest climbing record, he unofficially did better than my one mile record. His one-mile pace over about 5.5 miles of climbing was, incredibly, only one second worse than my one mile pace over one mile of climbing. So unless he paced all his miles to within a second, at least one of them--and quite likely several--of his miles was better than my one and only mile. But he didn't apply for that record to my knowledge.
That was probably the most effort ever put into a sponsored video i've seen. Great vid and I already checked out the watch haha so it seems effective :D
At first I thought that maybe he'd actually be cheating by jumping down, landing on the ground, then counting the WHOLE walls height each time he restarted (cause, you know, he has like 5.5-6 feet of height off the ground to start on each time), but the addition of the height-onomer was a great idea Also I just noticed he has the watch in his pocket. If he had it on his hand, and assuming this wall was 12-15 feet tall, every top out would give him an extra 2-4 feet, meaning at the low end of 12 feet tall and 2 feet of height, he'd add an extra 880 feet across the duration of the climb (5280 feet/12 feet per wall), and the high end of 15 foot tall wall and extra 4 foot per climb he'd add 1408 feet across the whole thing with 352 climbs at an extra 4 feet reach per climb. Keeping the watch on his left arm (the one he tops out with) would have saved him a TON of time and energy
Agree with you about the watch, but then it'd be kinda cheating, right? Because he isn't actually climbing up there, just lifting his arm. While I agree that the topping out by tapping isn't necessary, keeping the watch in the pocket tracks actual height much better!
Yeah, if arm height counted then he could just stand on the ground and wave his arms up and down. Pretty sure the record would be easy to beat that way.
Entertaining attempt! Agree that it makes sense to be its own stand alone record, the bouldering approach comes with its own problems! Wouldn’t mind giving this a go but definitely on auto-belay. I wouldn’t want the risks to my back, knees etc of all those falls, and if you are down climbing effectively that adds in some climbing effort that isn’t accounted for the headline “height climbed” figure!
I once did 2400 feet of horizontal on a steel beam system in 1:35 without touching the ground. So like a horizontal NW face Half Dome if it was a roof. I was 65 at the time.
DUDE. Alexander Pruss is actually so cool, he teaches at Baylor University! He came and gave a talk at my philosophy club last week (about math, of all things), and we went out for dinner after. Super interesting guy! When we were reading his bio he included his climbing world records (he also has one for highest distance climbed in an hour, I think), and we were all a little mind-boggled.
It is a good idea. In my fantasy (I do not know if anyone would ever listen) there would be. One could make 1 mile (or 1km or 1.6 or whatever) speedclimbing using the competition setup that never changes. Since that speedclimbing setup never changes, and it is the same for yearsit makes things too repetitive. Therefore I would have 2 setups for the speeclimbing. One as reference, what is already used, an one as yearly change. The international federation can communicate the yearly setup in December, so competitions can use it from January. For the mile climbing I wouldn't use the speedclimbing setup or any fixed standard, rather I would require a certain proven difficulty, say, V3, a minimum ascend length (say, 10 meters) and then computing only the time during the ascend and not the descend. Proven difficulty : many climbers confirm it. Because otherwise people are going to game it.
@@steelex44 in the gym.. tried comp boulders from german cup, one had a sideways dyno to the top, tried like 30 times, went home feeling fine, woke up and couldnt feel my legs the next morning.. 3 years recovery, climbing again since a year :)
Have you ever broken something or injured yourself badly whilst climbing? Love the content by the way! Even if the title sounds uninteresting to me, I end up watching the video purely because of your humor and personality. Definetly steps above more magnus😬 Keep making the videos (i need something to do while eating)🙃
I feel sorry for you. Not for what you did, but for what you started. Going forward, you will be expected to do this at least once a year. But I'll watch it. ;-)
I love this record! You have a huge set of balls on you to go for the "1 Mile of Beta Spray World Record". Goodluck though beating Logan's 1984 WPR, he was a Frat President at an Ivy.
(on second viewing he kept the watch in his pocket and due to the fact that he didn't seem to fall all the way down to the mat he probably didn't get too much extra out of that) Your measurement is way off. You are using the watch to track it, but the watch touches the ground when you fall and you touch the top of the wall without pulling yourself up, gaining extra distance there too. You shouldnt count the distance it measures with that last reach up or the distance it measures as you stand up from having touched the ground. If you count those you could just not climb at all and get it all from touching the ground then reaching up in the air over and over.
In this case it would be better if you wearing the clock on your arm. So you get high, when you grab the edge and when you fall down. You have more range then at the hips. You would do it like 20% faster on this wall.😊
The climb this way technically isn’t “climbing” as much as with the a taller auto belay wall. With bouldering you reach the top and leave an arm’s length that you don’t climb through, and then come down and stand up, getting “free” distance depending on your height. This happens much less with the auto belay. All that aside, I’m sure all the impacts from jumping off actually made this even worse than the auto belay.
I'm not sure how his altitude watch works, but I assume it only tracks upward movement. If it's in his pocket then it would only go from his pocket height on the ground to his pocket height at the top of the wall.
@@derekstanyer that is true. I mean honestly this is the worst way to do this record, as having to repeat small sections like this is gonna give tons of errors. Even a 30+ft climbing wall isn't really that good of a method to do this. Something like the climbing wall on that dam would be much better. But it's really just him doing it for a video. I don't think he's serious about the record.
Everyone saying treadwall but I feel like those can only be set overhung since they’re for training. A slabby 5.7 auto belay would be perfect, you need to rest anyways
You could prolly break the record easier on one of those new treadmill-like moving wall? Dont know if thats gonna count as climbing as youre basically staying in the same place, except for the vertically moving wall
One problem with your approach is you are not actually climbing the full height of the wall, which is negligible if you do it once but terrible when you do it 500 times. Imagine the wall is 4m from the ground to the top. You are "up" when you touch the top with your stretched out hands. Say you are short and are only 2m tall with your hands up. While using a standing startz this effectively halves the mile into a half a mile as it makes the wall 4-2=2m tall.
I feel like if you put the watch on your wrist and touched the floor every time you started a climb, you'd probably gain a few more ft. than with it in your pocket
"can't tell if you can see this" 1/2 inch flapper clearly visible to the camera. Thank god I wasn't eating while just casually eating some fake crab meat I defrosted. Super rad, brah. Good effort, though!
I'm genuinely curious, how durable is a COROS watch? I have busted two fitbits in 2 months while climbing, not even cause I wanted to track my workout, explicitly cause I forgot I was wearing them. Not that I'm mad, they aren't designed for that kind of wall impact, but can this withstand it?
Look into the Garmin instinct if you want a bullet proof fitness watch. Basically a gshock but with all the features of a garmin fitness watch. It’s got a specific impact rating.
I worn my COROS watches for years including multiple El Cap ascends. The watch bezel scratched from with those offwidth and chimney pitches but the sapphire glass watch faces never had issues.
oh my god practice your falling. i cringe so hard seeing way better climbers than me fall unsafely, like you learned all that technique but not how to save your own knees?? but then again im 'that guy' that shoulder rolls out of everything
if it counts where you touch the top. then te fastest would be a one step up and touch a top to step back down lol. I think this can only count on a tall wall.
dude that is savage, but isn´t 25 reps in 350 feet quite optimistic? Isn´t the height over like 8 feet some? What about the height of the climb actually suspended? Technically speaking, does the WR holder get the last 8 feet in by stepping on the first hold and reaching up? How does that count towards scaling a wall, and what the actual height reached is? Brthaa
What is your name? Seriously, does anyone here know his name? I find him so funny and entertaining but he never says his name and I can't find it anywhere else.
speed autobelay down use that time to rest and climb faster? I know this is not serious, but yeah. And that watch is not accurate on a bouldering wall lol.
Can't you just further optimize that by getting onto a really easy slab and basically just squatting on good pair of feet? You just squat and maybe sway the watch up and down until you got the mile done. That would eliminate the need to jump down entirely, while still, technically, being rock climbing.
Bruh, you get how much altitude from a squat? Let's be generous and say 2 feet. You still have to do 2640 squats in less than 2 hours 😂 Besides, why use just 2 limbs when you have 4 lol
@@acmaiden5236 I mean, you could take one of those beginner jug ladders and use your hands aswell, if you want to. So it would be arm assisted squats. But that's why I also suggested swaying your arms up and down, so you get the squat distance plus twice the length of your arm each rep. So now you are getting about 7 feet per rep on assisted squats where you can have one hand on a jug to pull with and the other one carry the watch.

climbing 2 hours with no proper rest is insane actually

I'm not sure how his altitude watch works, but I assume it only tracks upward movement. If it's in his pocket then it would only go from his pocket height on the ground to his pocket height at the top of the wall.
But the times he jumped down and sat on the ground, he would get credit for the distance standing back up@@yoketah
@@derekstanyer that is true. I mean honestly this is the worst way to do this record, as having to repeat small sections like this is gonna give tons of errors. Even a 30+ft climbing wall isn't really that good of a method to do this. Something like the climbing wall on that dam would be much better.
But it's really just him doing it for a video. I don't think he's serious about the record.
I think the auto belays actually helped him as it would be a cooldown period. Someone lowering you down would prob be best
Does it has to be a vertical climb? If not i think the best you can do is traversing on a wall from left to right and back.
Everyone saying treadwall but I feel like those can only be set overhung since they’re for training. A slabby 5.7 auto belay would be perfect, you need to rest anyways
You could prolly break the record easier on one of those new treadmill-like moving wall? Dont know if thats gonna count as climbing as youre basically staying in the same place, except for the vertically moving wall
Can you pick the grade of the climb on the coros pace 3 to 17:27
just wondering does your watch tract distance down, so did you have to climb double orr somthing
Whould it be possible to use one of these infinite Boulder walls?
actual distance he climbed was a bit more than half the wall bc the hips start off the ground and end below the wall
Guys I think it happened, he’s completely lost it
The problem is that you dont climb all the height of the wall. Your hand already start about 5foot off the ground.
One problem with your approach is you are not actually climbing the full height of the wall, which is negligible if you do it once but terrible when you do it 500 times. Imagine the wall is 4m from the ground to the top. You are "up" when you touch the top with your stretched out hands. Say you are short and are only 2m tall with your hands up. While using a standing startz this effectively halves the mile into a half a mile as it makes the wall 4-2=2m tall.
homie using the first ever go pro
Honestly I think with some cardio training your early technique would do wonders for that record
Yeah, why don't you do Tope Rope, Lead Climbing or Trad?
Use one of those climbing treadmill things
I feel like TR is the way you’ll get dropped faster than an autobelay but it still save your back
I feel like if you put the watch on your wrist and touched the floor every time you started a climb, you'd probably gain a few more ft. than with it in your pocket
Thats cool, but can you dyno it?
I need an altitudeinator for skydiving
Why not use a treadwall?
cannot go wrong with some 100 gecs
"can't tell if you can see this" 1/2 inch flapper clearly visible to the camera.
Thank god I wasn't eating while just casually eating some fake crab meat I defrosted.
Super rad, brah. Good effort, though!
10 years of back aging in 1 hour damnnnnn
should also have used deffirent routes to avoid fatique
i feel like you would be able to beat it if you used an autobelay, since you would get to rest on the way down
was this guy just Magnus in disguise? I have trust issues now
YOOOOOOO 100 GECS MOMENT
I'm genuinely curious, how durable is a COROS watch? I have busted two fitbits in 2 months while climbing, not even cause I wanted to track my workout, explicitly cause I forgot I was wearing them. Not that I'm mad, they aren't designed for that kind of wall impact, but can this withstand it?
I hate apple but my Apple Watch has held up incredibly well for climbing
Look into the Garmin instinct if you want a bullet proof fitness watch. Basically a gshock but with all the features of a garmin fitness watch. It’s got a specific impact rating.
I worn my COROS watches for years including multiple El Cap ascends. The watch bezel scratched from with those offwidth and chimney pitches but the sapphire glass watch faces never had issues.
@@scootybooty9626 that's interesting, I know 4 people who have destroyed theirs while climbing.
oh my god practice your falling. i cringe so hard seeing way better climbers than me fall unsafely, like you learned all that technique but not how to save your own knees?? but then again im 'that guy' that shoulder rolls out of everything
would be the easiest on a rolling climbing wall. No issue with descending
if it counts where you touch the top. then te fastest would be a one step up and touch a top to step back down lol. I think this can only count on a tall wall.
dude that is savage, but isn´t 25 reps in 350 feet quite optimistic? Isn´t the height over like 8 feet some? What about the height of the climb actually suspended? Technically speaking, does the WR holder get the last 8 feet in by stepping on the first hold and reaching up? How does that count towards scaling a wall, and what the actual height reached is? Brthaa
What is your name?
Seriously, does anyone here know his name? I find him so funny and entertaining but he never says his name and I can't find it anywhere else.
His name is Quentin Gaylord the third.
His first name is Branden, it's mentioned on this video too, but also showed somewhere on Rungne website iirc.
His last name was like Bodnner or something. He said it in a video one time.
I used to climb a mile every year for charity, takes me 3 and a half hours or so
can someone explain the lore behind the singular barbie doll sitting at the top of his shelf hahaha
speed autobelay down use that time to rest and climb faster? I know this is not serious, but yeah. And that watch is not accurate on a bouldering wall lol.
5:25 I would not recommend that. My uncle screwed up his back and displaced his spinal cord or whatever it’s called.
You didnt have to drop kick that 10 year old that asked for turn... But i appreciate you anyway. Gumbies be spawning early these days
Can't you just further optimize that by getting onto a really easy slab and basically just squatting on good pair of feet? You just squat and maybe sway the watch up and down until you got the mile done. That would eliminate the need to jump down entirely, while still, technically, being rock climbing.
Bruh, you get how much altitude from a squat? Let's be generous and say 2 feet. You still have to do 2640 squats in less than 2 hours 😂 Besides, why use just 2 limbs when you have 4 lol
@@acmaiden5236 I mean, you could take one of those beginner jug ladders and use your hands aswell, if you want to. So it would be arm assisted squats.
But that's why I also suggested swaying your arms up and down, so you get the squat distance plus twice the length of your arm each rep.
So now you are getting about 7 feet per rep on assisted squats where you can have one hand on a jug to pull with and the other one carry the watch.
i hopepewds responds lol, thatd be great
Was that 100 gecs playing? Lol
Specifically Doritos & Fritos
You know it
