    Since i found this video really entertaining, now imagine Magnus. You set a boulder on one of these walls every now and then. You film it, doesnt have to take the whole time of the video, maybe just like an outro "thanks for watching, if you stay a little longer ill show how i set up this months boulder in timelapse, see you next time" people then can come to your gym and try it for a month - they can film it and send it to you - you choose the one who did it the "coolest" or "most aesthetic" way, and this person wins to set up a route for YOU, and you try it then and rate it. It´ll also be kinda lika a "meet and greet" but which is truely earned since they have to do the boulder. F***, i would totally watch that! i would even fly in to try yours.

    It was so incredibly satisfying seeing him fail that last one, get taught the clock move(s), then try again, push through, and succeed. Such a fun video. Hadn't watched anyone design routes before. I can see how it could get addicting and feel like an art--making it visually appealing, forcing satisfying moves and shapes, etc. FIVE STARS, plus chalk!

      @philaeew4866 4 года назад +15

      the downward dynos they'd have to set for world cup level climbers would probably be much further and harder - and therefore much more taxing on the shoulders. A small one should be okay, I guess...

    • @cornelisgraper8678
      @cornelisgraper8678 4 года назад +14

      @@philaeew4866 Exactly. The problem with downward dyno's lies in the fact that you gain a lot of downwards momentum because you're basically falling. Catching that creates huge peak force which might cause shoulder problems. So as long as the momentum is not too big both downwards and sideways it's quite OK.

    Figure of four is usually used in steep ice climbing. If you wrap your leg around your arm, sometimes you can reach farther. It’s helpful when you have a good hold with a big move to a bad hold that you can’t dyno to.

It was cool just to see how the pieces are bolted to the wall, and some of how the routes get set and tested.

    Hi Magnus!
    Loved the explanation of the holds towards the end.
    It gives newer climbers an idea of how you're supposed to tackle them.
    I'd love to see a a series of "ABC's of Climbing" videos, where you explain Terms, Techniques, Holds, what they look like, etc.
    Climbing RUclipsrs tend to mention these things in passing, but never a fun/interactive/detailed explanation.
    On a side note,
    Thanks for your videos!!

    Get a 1/4 inch *impact driver* to fasten those bolts and screws, that is literally the best tool for those particular fasteners. I recommend a Milwaukee M12 Surge. This has all the torque you need, it's super small, and there is no wrist fatigue like with a normal drill driver, so you can fasten the bolts one handed.

    Figure four is where you hook your leg over your arm and use your own body as an assist. Keep up the good work, love your videos

    That eerie noise that ventilation makes on 36:12 sounds exactly like middle part of the song Echoes by Pink Floyd... i think that part of the song starts around 11:25 on original recording...

    I haven't climbed for a long time, and I have never done a figure 4, but I know what it is from watching climbing videos on youtube! :D
