Thanks! Appreciate it.

Thanks! I will be stoked if I make it to V10…..

Awesome!!! Go get some!!! Hope to see you around the Valley soon.

@@explorersurgeon likewise! Been following your journey since i moved from the central valley, you’ve been killing it

Thank you. It is a process for sure. 5 years ago I didn’t boulder at all, 3 years ago I had a devastating injury where I ripped my pec off and had to have it reattached. Due to a great training program from Lattice, an excellent coach, a great support team and a lot of hard work, I was able to realize my goal. It doesn’t always work out, but when it does the success is sweet.

@explorersurgeon take care my friend

yes....always interesting what is going on down on the ground mid-send :)

Thanks!!

@zacharydawson6278 - thanks! I think being a climber and being a surgeon is complementary. Anyone who is steering you otherwise is either a) ignorant of what makes a good surgeon or b) ignorant about climbing. Physically, sure, there are days I am tired after a long 30hr push in the hospital or a big weekend bouldering or on the wall. And I am sure that I could be a better climber if I didn't work so much. But the benefits of being able to do what I love professionally and personally very much outweigh any downside. The mental skill set of analytically approaching challenges, challenges with real risk involved, are highly synergistic. The mental preparation needed before a big case or a big climb are similar. Finding the calm in chaos during a hectic trauma resuscitation or strung out high above the ground or gear are similar. The humility provided by the fallibility of the human body and that provided by the mountains is similar. As with any sport or activity, there is always the risk of injury. But that is no different in climbing than in mountain biking, road biking, running, or hell, even biking to work. So if you love to climb, and you want to be a surgeon, leave the naysayers at the curb and go for it!!! Follow you passion, your future self will be thankful for it.

@@explorersurgeon Thanks for your resonse!

Thanks for the support!!!

Haha thanks, yeah it was a pretty fun session! Appreciate the shoutout!!!

Thank you @SamJulius-sy8nw !! Glad you have enjoyed. I have definitely thought about the 2025 set. Would love to give them a go at some point, but for now I am getting lots of mileage on the 2020 set. So still pretty stoked on chipping away at the BMs on the older set.

Thanks!!! It’s a fun one.

Thanks!!!! Hope y’all are getting up to the Valley this weekend:)

Thanks! It was just one of those days when everything clicked!

Thank you!!! I was quite stoked

yeah, came through strong in the vid!

Thanks!!! It’s a fun boulder

Glad you like them!

I moved mine 10cm over because it felt really close to the edge of the plywood and I didn’t want the nuts to tear out

Not really, it didn’t seem too bad

Thanks!!!!

Awesome! Congrats. I had to clean it off a bit when I was there. Agree, surprisingly fun.

Thanks for the comment @anthonyb3940 and good question. I seem to remember Dr. Pinch felt hard at the time. That e14 pinch can be tricky!!! What about you?

Thanks! I have found that the more I try to force myself not to cut, the harder it is, but the better my technique gets in the long run

Yeah, it’s hard for the grade for sure. A great benchmark

I purchased the bolts part of the package sold by Moon Climbing. But you can also pick up the 3/8th inch bolts at most hardware stores

Thanks, appreciate it!

Yeah, it was pretty hard for V5. I try to climb these without cutting loose as much as possible, but couldn’t really do it on this one

Thank you, glad you enjoy it! Appreciate any feedback on videos you want to see or content you want more of

Hopefully it’s helpful! And gets ya stoked!!!

Thanks!!

Nice send!

Thank you! Glad you enjoy!

Yeah, it sure beats a scream mid-crux....

Glad you enjoyed

Thanks! Yeah, it really flowed this time. Felt great. Standing up off the lower right foothold, rather than brining it high and rocking over, felt much easier

Could definitely add screw on holds. The plywood is think and easily accepts screws! Only thing I have found on my 2016 set where I have added holds is that I try to keep holds low profile, just so I don’t hit them with with my elbow or knee when making moves at my limit.

Thanks!!!

Thanks Caleb!! Yeah, been wanting to get on it for awhile. Hope you’re getting some reps up in the Valley!!

Yeah, it’s tall. The down climb is quite invigorating too!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks for the stoke and inspiration!!!!

Here is the full set-up @moonclimbing moonclimbing.com/mini-moonboard-diy-kit.html. I ended up getting the kit because it was a bit less of a hassle given other constraints in my life at the time, but you could make one much more economically just buying and painting some 4*8s and not using the lights. The actual lumbar for the supports, screws, etc was under 300$.

@@explorersurgeon thanks

Thank you!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks, it was a fun one

Thanks!!

Thanks! With little kids and working full time, having the home setup has been the only way to keep the training going!!!
