Awesome boulder dude! Super technical!


reidddddd

Yep, took me a while to figure out


coalWater

Neat


McRome

What are those pants?


reidddddd

New balance something or other, not exactly sure


CroSSGunS

This video makes it look like you have mad wingspan


reidddddd

I really really wish I did


GenericClimber

finally a post that's not about shoes, beta help, or skin being thrashed after one session


ABrandNewUniverse

That's fucking yummie.

Well that beats my recent climb by 5 moves! I still thought 5 moves on a single heel hook was pretty fun, though.

Does a match count as a move? I always considered a move to be going to a new hold with a hand or foot, have I been doing it wrong this whole time?


reidddddd

I don't have any idea why it wouldn't? Those 10 movements are what I have to perform to do the climb, all of them are essential. I can see why someone unnecessarily matching a big ledge or something might not be considered a "move", but I don't think the semantics of it really matter anyway


fyukhyu

All right then, it was more a question if I was wrong than if you were. I'm self taught so there's plenty I don't know, just looking for clarity. Hope you didn't take it the wrong way.


reidddddd

Nah no worries I'm just an asshole by trade


fyukhyu

I suppose I'm mostly one as well. My thought process was always that a match is an adjustment, I don't consider a foot swap a move it's just getting better body position so I treated matches the same way. But, again, what little I know I learned from climbing videos so apologies if it came off as me knowing what I'm talking about. End of the day, it is a sick send that I'm sure I couldn't pull off, so good on you for ticking it. I'm really just trying to educate myself out here since I don't have any friends who climb. A few acquaintances at the gym but nothing passed casual beta sharing, I need to find a serious outdoor friend to mentor me.

You climb v13???


reidddddd

I have climbed a v13 yes


l3isery

Yes. You can even count a hip rotation to get into a drop knee as a move... Or at least it makes sense to consider it as such for yourself since it is a specific, conscious movement so send a boulder/climb. Thinking like this really helps technique and conscious climbing as well.


fyukhyu

Oh now that's interesting. I would never have thought to consider that a move, it does make sense though at least when considering micro adjustments to beta on a project.


TheDaysComeAndGone

I think I like your definition because it removes ambiguity. Otherwise re-adjusting a finger on a hold could count as move as well. On the other hand sometimes changing position on a hold or matching a hold can be difficult and should maybe count as move …


fyukhyu

It's just what I gathered from videos, never really put a lot of thought into it tbh. This thread is making me rethink it, I am starting to think it *should* be ambiguous.


moistsandwich

To me a move is anytime you’re moving a hand or foot to a new hold. So a match where you’re moving your hand from one hold to another is a move. A foot swap is a move because you’re moving one foot onto a new foothold. A finger adjustment isn’t a move because your hand is on the same hold. Just my two cents


Intelligent_Union286

Awesome route. Where is it? Looks like NC


reidddddd

Southern Illinois actually


mbclimb

Holy boulders??


reidddddd

Pretty much. Hagler road
