I just found your channel and I wanted to say I absolutely LOVE this content. Projecting, showing the holds, showing the process, showing all the hacks you have discovered.. this content is what I look for all the time on RUclips. Immediately subscribed!!!
Thanks so much! I've been a guidebook author for 10 years, which has been the focus of the channel up until recently. Documenting all the bouldering in Nova Scotia. That project is wrapping up, so the VLOG style content is an experiment in a new direction for content creation. I really appreciate your feedback at this early stage and I'll work hard on providing value with future content!
Great example of how Nova Scotia bouldering is incredibly frustrating unless you are, to paraphrase an old MEC blurb about the La Sportiva Mega, 'knocking on V11's door'. There's no fricking holds!
Tim Doyle of Squamish fame (no stranger to small holds) is alleged to have said: "these are the smallest holds I've seen in my life" about a Nova Scotia line very similar (but actually easier) to the Grover bulge project.
Vizslas cameos are the only reason my partner (non-climber) watches these videos. Nice to see another vizsla enjoyer. You may enjoy the Mobeta Nova Scotia bouldering guidebook - vizslas for scale on majority of boulder pictures 😁
Yes, that's important to say. Never use a torch, propane heaters, or heat guns on anything but low setting. Also, no campfires near climbs. Some rock types simply shouldn't be heated or climbed on period in the wet.
Generally correct. However, there are specific circumstances where increasing humidity drastically impoves friction. Conditions people call "glassy". Common in our sending season in NS. Sounds like a good topic to discuss in detail in future vid - thanks!
I'm planning on getting out doors for bouldering starting when the weather finally dries up. What would you consider our "sending season" to be? I'm unfamiliar with the term.@@Mobeta
@@tristanduke4296 If you are just starting out, don't worry about it, just get out and have fun. The more experienced, the more pronounced the impact. There are only a few months a year where you can climb at your highest level. Outside of this window, you will have to drop down the difficulty 2 - 4 grades to have success.
Grading projects is difficult. Grading power moves is also difficult. They go from impossible to easy in a narrow range. Hard to say. My crimps strenght is 30% stronger than when I sent the nearby 11s and bulge feels way harder, but short clims are not my style. I'm a power endurance specialist.

Playing your local microphone audio over drone footage is a subtle thing, but I love it.
Nice pick up! Noise cancelling on DJI Mic 2 is good enough to turn drone into a usable B cam
Nothing scares me more than Jen saying "This is a good hold." 😂 She said it about one of the worst holds I've felt in my life.
Congrats for this video being written up on Gripped! Much deserved.
Thanks! Never expected to be featured for not sticking a single move 😂
You saw my reaction 😆
Love your videos!

'The smallest holds you'll ever fall off of'
Amazing video!
I got super excited when I saw the Vizslas lol

Looks definitely possible. Careful who you show your videos to. Watching from the U K ....
I'd be more psyched if my video lured a strong UK climber here than another personal FA
Be careful when heating wet holds as it will make the rock very fragile

What's with the wetting of holds and need for humidity? Humidity is usually a bad thing for sending conditions!

Pure luxury! 😂
how hard do you think this is?
