    I love route setters. They're like the mystical wise wizards of the climbing world. Great video, I really liked the background music choice in this one.

    A bathang and a figure 4 on the same problem! Awsome!

    I'm new to climbing but it's not hard to put two and two together in that route-setters are artists in their craft. Cool to see how a problem unfolds.

  • @nickbandler5103
    @nickbandler5103 7 лет назад +47

    As a routesetter myself I can agree that you don't see that move rarely at all in bouldering. It is harder than it looks to set a route and have it be climbed the way you imagined. Good video, crazy fun looking boulder problem. I like that routesetter's style.

    • @nicklozica8914
      @nicklozica8914 7 лет назад +6

      Yeah figure 4s are more for ice climbing

    • @nickbandler5103
      @nickbandler5103 7 лет назад +1

      Very true, and to set one up is tricky for any routesetter, everything has to be set up just the right way in order for it to work. The figure 4 is still a fun move to do once one figures it out

    • @svenningen
      @svenningen 7 лет назад

      Agreed, some contortionist-y moves like these are really tricky to force, especially when you try to set within a grade, and not just "bloody murder difficult"

    Cheech is a great setter (used to set at my local gym) happy to see him featured as I haven't seen him in years! His routes flow very well and are always fun. Neat to see the process.

    Eric, while you're on gym gym touring spree you should totally visit "Oslo klatresenter" in Norway and meet up with Magnus Midtbø. It's his home gym where he trains everyday. A pretty cool gym with exciting features. He's a youtuber himself and it would be cool to see you create some episodes together.

    • @EricKarlsson

  • @TwistinFool
    @TwistinFool 7 лет назад +5

    Can someone explain how the figure 4 is beneficial, just seems like the weight of the leg around your arm can cause you to fall off a hold

    • @zan831
      @zan831 7 лет назад +4

      Im fairly new to climbing, but I think its like a lock-off where you can stabilize your lower body? Cause otherwise you would have to campus it like Nikken which is harder.
      I think in both cases, you're still supporting your weight with just the 1 hand, but figure 4 makes that sequence more static and controlled

    • @simonpino-buisson4929
      @simonpino-buisson4929 7 лет назад +3

      TwistinFool i think it's to push too. Like when you do a one arm pull up, it's easier if you put your other hand on your bicep to push... am i being clear? Sorry for bad english

    • @leoingson
      @leoingson 7 лет назад +1

      It's a good rest - you can let go of anything but the holding hand. And you can reach pretty far from there (already in a "locked" type position).

  • @izzylippold4296
    @izzylippold4296 7 лет назад

    Excuse my ignorance, but I just recently started climbing and am wondering about the figure 4... WHY? What are the advantages of that move? I would have thought moving my leg over my arm would upset my balance point and add more strain to the arm the leg is hanging on.
    Someone please enlighten me, so I can go and try this move myself :)
    Thank you!

    • @Chuggadew
      @Chuggadew 6 лет назад

      I'm a climbing novice, but i fell in love with the figure 4 the first time i saw it. I think the benefit is that it helps bring your hip higher and closer to the wall when there is no good foot. However, I was told that "if you can do a figure 4 to hit the next hold, you can do it without a figure 4". I've found this to mostly be true. You're putting a lot of weight on your hand, so the hold has to be good for a figure 4. If the old is THAT good... might as well just campus or dyno. Go try it out, it's fun and makes you look like like you know what youre doing... maybe?

      Jamie Stewart in short: leverage & stability. Somebody commented that it keeps your lower body stable for longer moves. Not often applicable to bouldering or sport, mostly in ice climbing oddly enough.
