  • All the holds of Bibliographie, the second 9c of the world climbed by Alex Megos last year that I'm currently projecting... have a closer look of some of the "best" holds of the world!

    This is so well done, a great insight into what makes the climb so hard. I think another thing which isn’t directly mentioned is just how overhanging it is, this can be seen by the angle the quickdraws are hanging at lower down and it looks like this includes the first boulder problem too- Stefano is a beast!

      @francescomonini8882 3 года назад +7

      I guess a serie of hard moves are hard, but straightforward, so you "just" need enough strength to go past. A boulder problem requires more work as the moves are not obvious and a precise sequence must be found out, not to fall out of balance or slip

    thank you stefano, great video. some holds we're actually better than i thought, but of course most of them look insane, especially considering how much hard work you to put in, to even reach those holds haha best of luck, you will suceed, of that i am sure :)

    So nice to see how you’re grip is on the holds. Seeing what you do with you’re thumb etc.
    More difficult to see is the inclination of the wall … as steep as the moonboard 40 degrées?
