Thanks for the info. Hopefully we will see more of him in finals

Got lots more footage from the comp that I need to post

Totally agree! CRG sets a great comp. Was an awesome way to kick off the comp season 😎

Setters have to accept that it's going to happen eventually 🤣

Thanks for the insightful reply! I would be interested in seeing videos of parkour like problems that are set at comps. Yes we've all seen clips on social of gyms that set a "climb" that spans the entire gym & requires spamming one jump after another but we don't see those in competition. The closest I could think of was the women's final problem 3 at movement Harlems Sleeping Giant last season which was a leap to a huge volume but it was a single move and it was obvious to the spectators that it was difficult. I do agree that parkour shouldn't be part of competitions but dynamic (not just coordination) movement should/will remain a key element in comps.

@@BetaBreakerz I think what parkour-like means is quite subjective too. For me I don’t know another way of describing the super coordination type moves that don’t really involve any traditional climbing moves. Laches at all the Olympic boulders is like one example. I personally can’t think of a worse or uglier move than a lache to demonstrate how physically hard bouldering is and an be.

@@nickdefrancis ahh yes the lache. I'm not a fan of the move myself especially when it requires landing on one foot along with a low catch. I think that although the move in it's entirety doesn't scream 'climbing specific' the individual parts of the movement on their own do. I'm not justifying it but just looking through the lens of a route setter. There's more show behind the low percentage moves like the lache. Spectators love to see people soaring through the air and feel anyone can understand how difficult a lache is without explanation or the right camera angles. I feel the due to the showy nature of the move it will not be going away anytime soon especially as there's a push to drive the sport more mainstream. I've noticed a huge crossover from other sports like ninja warrior and crossfit to climbing having movement that they are familiar with (dynos, laches, steming) has helped solidify their journey over to the dark side 😆

😂

Double clutch felt like a tough catch. It's possible the friction was there when they first set the climb but they were super gummed up when I was giving this a try.

Agreed! She's just casually hanging on for what seemed like forever 😁

No

Climbers feed off of the crowd's energy.

Very confined space. We opted to not limit visibility for the crowd in attendance for the sake of the Livestream

Our pleasure! Great meeting you as well!

Interesting. So you would rather watch in silence? Maybe just music?

🤣. The crowd was definitely at another level!

Either downclimb or jump. Both are fine, it's not that high and there are big crash pads below

Yes typically if the climb ends with the climber not climbing all the way on top of the wall (topping out) you can just drop down or climb down. You should never jump down from a top out climb like this... It's too dangerous. Most gyms have down climb holds set up to easily descend as if climbing down a ladder but that's typically set up on a flat section not overhanging like this one. In this setup after topping out this climb the climbers can walk to the back of the wall where they can access stairs to get down. It's funny because Movement Valhalla only set climbs that go this high for the finals of competitions and even Sabrina was confused as to where to go because she wasn't about to jump down 😬.

Tf is wrong with you that is a teenage girl

Glad you enjoy the livestreams! We need to find more contacts in Canada so we can see what we can do. If you know any gym managers send them our way 👍🏾
