    @scusi02 3 месяца назад +376

    I think seeing Carl (or another beginner) set a boulder without giving him a specific hold set just letting him choose holds in the storage room would be a cool follow up. All in all a really cool concept.

      So at my gym there has actually been an event where people could try out route setting. It was like a competition where we set boulders and customers could vote for them.
      I really enjoyed it and the results were actually pretty cool.

  • @ewanbennett4001

  • @brethollingsworth5257
    @brethollingsworth5257 3 месяца назад +127

    That was shockingly good from an inexperienced setter. Having seen a lot of new setters try to set above their abilities while working as a setter (myself included) most of the "hard" moves are hard because they are garbage, this actually looks genuinely interesting to climb. Win to Carl!

  • @DMan93

  • @zacharylord-rule5368
    @zacharylord-rule5368 3 месяца назад +50

    What I think is so interesting is how he unconsciously or unintentionally mixed several different climbing and movement styles, which is something you almost never see in a gym. Super dope.

    • @EmilAbrahamsson
      @EmilAbrahamsson  3 месяца назад +6

      Totally agree

    • @SlevenKevin7
      @SlevenKevin7 Месяц назад +1

      I agree. Too often setters have one really cool core goal and build the problem around that. This Boulder was like 3 different problems / styles in one. I actually think he is more creative because his mind is more open because he knows nothing 😂. Make sense?

  • @MaadcoClimbing
    @MaadcoClimbing 3 месяца назад +118

    As both a game dev and an occasional routesetter, I find the links between game design theory and routesetting fascinating. Routesetters usually come from a strictly climbing background and I think lessons from game making about finding flow, fun and difficulty are highly applicable to making boulders. Climbing is basically a puzzle game with your body and as such there are mechanics to learn and carry along as you climb up (haha) the grades.
    Being a good routesetter involves being a good climber yes but it's more so about putting your heart into creating something fun and creative for others to solve. It's game making and it's awesome. I think the emotional and selfless aspect of setting really shows in this video 😄
    Great job Emil (and Carl) ! Dope videos, dope holds, you never miss 👏

    • @StankeyWang
      @StankeyWang 3 месяца назад +7

      I was gonna say something like this too but noticed your comment. 100% agree, interestingly enough projecting a climb has some similarities to bug fixing i.e. not always sure what's wrong but continuously try to solve the issue(s) you have in order to achieve success 😂😂

  • @ldees3505
    @ldees3505 3 месяца назад +18

    As a fairly experienced route setter myself i found this fascinating. For me, whenever I set a boulder I am always thinking about how a climber will move in each position, how every move is gonna feel, how cool/fun/hard all the moves are, etc. There have been times in my setting career where I have felt almost stuck, like having a hard time coming up with new and interesting moves. It was awesome for me to watch this because it seemed like Carl wasn't thinking about any of that but still set some really cool moves almost by accident. Love it 🤘

    That was super interesting. I think for pure enjoyment, I would be really into the dynamic one you’ve set, Emil. I can see myself and my buddies taking turns on that dyno, pumping each other up and just having a blast. Carl’s boulder would definitely be a fun project if I was trying to level up and just try to push myself. I would t say it would be an enjoyable boulder, but definitely one of those problems where I’d be super stoked to have conquered.
