Thanks for the perspective Albert, definitely have a newfound respect for speed climbing.
Appreciate all the content you're putting out there! My new favourite climbing RUclipsr since you add such fresh content to the community.
Speed climbing is so hard. I tried it for the first time last weekend and got humiliated.
Yea its already a 5:11 without momentum, a five 10 ish with momentum, once you learn the beta you start getting faster quick
It's so difficult to nail down quickly, but it's fun regardless!

Dude, your killing it! Your regularly uploading more and more content and it's all still well articulated and and easy to digest, even unscripted. There's been a speed route at my gym in Nashville, TN for months now, I've climbed it, but never taken the initiative to climb it seriously. This video makes me want to actually get to that hold and try the technique myself! Thanks for the motivation, keep crushing it!
I’d love to give the speed climbing route a try.
Heck yeah! If you ever get a chance it's worth a try!
in case you're in Europe, come to Innsbruck! They have everything, including several speed walls
Henning ah nice! Will have to arrange a trip 👍🏻
What a great vid! Really shows how hard these betas are, and why they take time to find!
there's a video of alex honnold trying this move with a speed climber, and the beta is interesting. If I recall, honnold never gets the move. Obviously, Honnold is not out there crushing top tier comps, but he's a pretty good climber.
And for you Albert, if you watch that video, you get some good pointers, a couple of which you retroactively point out yourself.
He actually made a video based on that video not long ago.
What Jonathan said!
Nice, you must be at Summit in Plano. I recognize that speed climbing wall!
I was coming here to say this!
Plano!
I thought the same thing!
We have a speed route at my local gym! It would be great to see you do a tutorial on how to get started speed climbing! I really can't start since I always take it so slow and it seems that one really needs momentum. How can I start to build up speed?
I favor speed climbing the most of all. Mainly for the jumps, and thinking about where could I save another half a second.
I got to try the speed climbing route a while back and it only looks easy because of the training that many athletes have put into it. My first attempt took me about 2 minutes and I still had slipped on a hold. (granted, this was at the end of my climbing sesh, but still!) - and also, before I tried it, I had never realised how the incline of the speed climbing wall is also something that one has to take into account. it's a minor thing, but it does add to the challenge.
Yeah it's not the hardest route in the world, but to do it at the speed that they are doing it is extremely difficult!
I tried it at my home gym. It’s a lot harder than it looks. You watch the video and you’re like, not too bad, but it is so hard.
Yeah, especially if you try and nail it down fast! It's way harder than it looks!
I can definitely respect how hard speed climbing is. Usually it gets flak for being repetitive to watch and an illogical inclusion into the climbing medal, not for being easy.
Hey, I work at Summit Plano!
Would love to try speed climbing but we don't have a speed wall here, sadly.
Have you been to the summit climbing gym in Plano? And if so do you plan on ever filming there?
This looks a lot like it
For me, as I am on a short site( 159 cm or 5,2) I have a problem with the last move where you have to jump :/
In Russia there is really lots of great speed climbers. You could arrive here and work on this discipline :) This move is really sick!
I got those same pair of headphones
Same!
Someone let me know we put out a video of the Tomoa skip at the same time, random! 🤣🤩 I'm super suprised I did it in one session as I was way off the first few attempts! You'll get it, maybe not after 8 hours climbing as you really need maximum power 💪Good luck 👊
Is this at summit Plano?
Don’t know why i see many people pull their arms very hard then get their foot up first when trying it but i think your suppose to step up first with arms straight then smear with other foot and pull at the same time. This should help you get to the tile.
Summit Plano!
Woohoo
Hey dude! I live in Ogden, UT, and I’d love to treat you to dinner if you’re in the area 🤙🏻
I'm a bit far from Ogden, but if you're in Joe's when I'm there in the next few weeks we should go crush some boulders!
Albert Ok When you say Joe’s are you talking about the Joe’s valley bouldering fest?
@@Bobbyhiddn Unfortunately not, I'll be in Denver for the festival!
It would be cool if more gyms had speed climbing walls. If speed climbing gets its own comp season, my gym’s team is going to get smoked 😅
Yeah they are quite expensive to make, but either way good luck I"m sure you'll do great!
Not a fan but I do respect the appeal for speed
I'm very new to climbing. Wouldn't a more angled foot be better on the step up? The closer your heel could be to the right side of the hold the closer you could keep your hips to the wall, right?
I think the idea of having a soft shoe is to be able to use the wall with your right foot before placing your left one. Softer shoes help getting more surface and friction
@@oaxacenio I get that the softer shoe would allow more flex and thus more surface contact. I mean to manage a more lizard crawl position would be better right? More open hip means closer to the wall?
It's extremely difficult to generate in that position (If I"m understanding you correctly) as your foot would be extremely high. I'm just a much taller climber and even though I'm very flexible it was difficult for even me to get it to the position that you are referring to. I'll definitely be trying to nail this move down in the future and I"m sure if I have more time than I had I'll be able to get it!
@@AlbertOkay you may check out the lizard crawl exercise. Looks goofy as hell, but the movements and flexibility, to my laymen eyes, look like they could apply to speed climbing. Love your videos. They get me motivated. :)
Odd how a practice wall becomes a major sport. Alex said he got the basics on a practice wall so it's gotta be the way to go.
1:22 i checked my messenger...
Is there a difference between the tomoa skip and the Reza ?
I'm curious about that too
I just looked at a couple vids, i think it is which foot you step up with but i could be wrong
Right foot on the step up bit for the reza and left foot for the tomoa skip
@@minifishy7162 thanks for the info! I was wondering if it was a debate as to the original creator of the move
Idk i didnt read any articles or see anything online, i just watched a couple tomoa skip vids and some rezi vids
i like chicken tendies
I love vegan tendies
Hellllllooooooooooooooooooooooo, i did the speed climb in my gym and got like 3 mins, w.r?
Yes
@@AlbertOkay ez
Well maybe the wall texture just isnt great at your gym???
Every speed climber is doing this wtf
This is the "speed climbing is dumb" comment you're looking for
Not a fan of speed climbing tbh.
