Did my first 7a in fontainebleau this summer while only being able to project a route for a single day because we went to a new spot each day. Your v4 to v9 video definitely played a role in motivating me to push my climbing further! Good luck on your challange, mate!
I read this comment 2 nights ago after a long day and it really made me smile, I didnt answer but here I am and it made my day again. So x2 happiness! Congrats on the send!!!
curious to know how you handle tendonitis elbow pain. I am suffering from it as well. Any recommendations besides resting and properly warming up? What kind of exercises or pain relief are you implementing? Just subbed to the channel!
Hey!! I'm doing some weighted rotations with a barbell, it has helped reduce my pains about 80%, also doing the flexor eccentrics but I'm not always sure it works. I was doing it a bit more religiously before and now not so much but it helped. The biggest thing was climbing better with my hips and trying to have my wrists more extended. If I ever fix it 100% I'll make a video for sure
Cool to hear that you made it back to Japan! Where are you from originally? Congrats on the new sponsor… I will be sure to use your code for all my warm tap water needs 😂
😂 I'm originally from Argentina! So I really did come all around the globe to get here Thanks for the support I'm sure the sponsors will be really happy
Thanks Kieran! Might be kinda weird but why? Is there something I do you think is different than other channels? I'm still new to this so im trying a ton of stuff but dont know what helps connect with people and what doesnt
I have been climbing in some "beginner" climbing shoes for a while now and am finally at the point where I want more "performance" based shoes for indoor/outdoor bouldering ... what shoes would you personally recommend?
The first thing I would say is 100% try a bunch of sizes and models, do not blindly follow other people's advice because the most important thing is a nice fit with your foot and we're all different. Having said that I personally love my souped ups as a soft shoe and solution comps as a stiffer one. If you do more outdoor stuff with lots of crimps a stiffer shoe is usually better and if you do a lot of indoor walking on volumes and polished chips a soft one is better. I hope this helps, I want to make a video on shoes but It'll be a few months before that so I don't think I'll make it in time for you. If you want describe your climbing style, goals, and where you spend most time and I can give you some options 😁
I would love to! I do think ogikubo is harder and would take more time than i have in my visa so for the moment my plan is only in akipan but i'll be going to ogikubo to do some sessions.
I mostly lost the small nuances on technique. When I was climbing I thought I was weaker but then went to another gym that was not as technical and was able to climb almost as hard as before (it's gonna be a video in like 2 weeks) Lately I've been able to improve a lot on the flow between moved and finding more relaxed positions
Man, I have a v10 goal as well. it was till the end of this year after taking a on and off 4 year break, but I don't think it is feasible. so I set the goal post to September 2025
@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing Thats fine tho, I couldn't really climb them when I visited last year anyways. I remember that I was really sad that I couldn't even climb V3-V4. But after I returned home I realised that Japan is just really hard.
I dont know if it's all of japan tho 🤣 There's a few very easy gyms here. I do think the best thing about getting humbled here is that you start to forget about sending X grade and just worry on climbing better. (btw I'm editing the second episode right now but I think it'll be a day late)

This is the beginning of what will probably be the longest most arduous series in this channel. I'll give it my all!

Thanks Benji! Next week's one is gonna be extra spicy
Are you gonna try do 2D at Ogikubo as well?
I would love to! I do think ogikubo is harder and would take more time than i have in my visa so for the moment my plan is only in akipan but i'll be going to ogikubo to do some sessions.
what do you think was more important strength or technique? did u lose more strength? or was ur technique rusty?
I mostly lost the small nuances on technique. When I was climbing I thought I was weaker but then went to another gym that was not as technical and was able to climb almost as hard as before (it's gonna be a video in like 2 weeks)

We'll be going at it together! I don't think it really matters if it's feasible or if you make it, it's about trying 😁
I want go back to b-pump tokyo and see if i have become any stronger, but sadly I won't be able to in the next few years 😭
I think the grades here have gotten even harder lately, especially at white/ligth blue grade

nice vid!
whats your height?
Thanks! I'm 175cm ish, not talk but not short. I'm literally the world's average. The next video is actually a short vs tall climber at BPUMP 😂
@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing I have the same height and now wanna go to japan to feel tall climbing once in a lifetime:)
Lol I know the feeling, you wont feel like a giant but a bit above average. Good luck in your quest my friend, maybe I'll see you here
what kind of visa do you have?
Last year I came with a working holiday one, this year im here with a student one
