Lol! Sorry, shoulda known

What do you mean they make no sense?

So while the T tip is really good, some of it are at really weird angles, and no place to put the feet 😂

Thanks for the correction! I'm not sure about the physics behind it so just said what it feels like to me

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing Your intuition is actually right! The comment above is true for flat/linear surfaces and inelastic objects. In climbing, skin folds and molds to the holds as you grip (especially with slopers) so the contact area is actually proportional to friction. ThreeRocksBooks has a good article on rubber/skin friction in climbing if anyone is curious on reading more. Temperature actually plays a large role as well.

For sure! I just know from personal experience you want cold hands (not too cold) and warm rubber

Thanks! Shoulder mobility can be really limiting but the good thing is you can always work it!

Same here lol

Where are you from?

Came in at a perfect time!

Glad to hear you are better!!! Yeah I don't really mind it gives me a chance to show funny stuff. And 99.9% of stuff is super nice so it helps balance it out, otherwise I might just let it go to my head 😂

I would recommend trying the false grip pull ups, the more you angle the wrist the harder it will be, the good thing is you can start slow and adapt. Also maybe try with a dumbbell forearm flexor and extensor curls

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing thanks man I'll try next time I'm on the wall 💪

Give it a try and tell me how it goes! Gook luck Julian 🔥

Thank you!!! Yeah for me this channel is not about me otherwise it would be called Marcos Climbs or something. It's the videos I would of loved to see before I came to Japan. So I always think of videos that will give you guys value, either by showing my own struggles, tutorials, climbing with someone cool or anything like that

I've been told I'm a marketing genius 😂

I think it was V3 but it's not at bpump

Can you smile? 😂 I'll check it out

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing hahahaha sorry I couldn't help but trolling. Actually I need to apologize and say that I like your channel, and thanks for the advice. That said, it is true there is some room of improvement in the non verbal language area(if you are interested, constructive critic comes at the end of the comment). I also should add I run no channels and I am not saying I could do it better. Most likely I wouldn't be able as I am pretty much not interested in being a content creator. Constructive critic below: Obviously Jenny Benny sucks, but the fact that you took the time to use about 1min of an 8min video to reply is that there is something in their message that hurt / annoyed you enough... you devoted a 12% of your video to that after all. My first thought is - it is not worth it. My second thought is that I can see you clearly reading the text out of your screen. Your tone of voice and facial expression are not engaging. This is not me bitching, it is just a fact. That said, I don't follow your channel because you are a great communicator, but because I think you are providing very valuable information towards my learning as a climber for free. The fact though, is that this leads to less success. Final conclussion - this is none of my business, but I think it would help you a lot if you turn annoying jennybenny comments into an opportunity for improvement. But whether you wanna do it or not is only on you, and ultimately, not even that important. Thanks a lot for the advice with sloppers, I actually really struggle with those and with keeping myself close to the wall. PS.: I actually can't stop smiling, but my recordings of myself also suck.

Hahaha yeah don't worry I do take everything as a learning chance and have a list of stuff I have to improve that I have learned about my videos. After all all I want is better videos for you guys. By thought process for the jenny Benny bit was actually to show I have a personality even if I don't smile but maybe for the first time viewer it's not worth it, but I think for someone that watched all my videos it is a way to connect and make them laugh. I have to work on my camera presence for sure and just as you said it does affect how well people receive the info and their experience. I do think there are people that pull it off like Davie504 but I don't think I can. As always thanks for the criticism! And if you have more I'll take it gladly, you guys already helped me notice about all the music and audio stuff I suck at (I have bad hearing) so I'm all for it

😂 love you man

GRRRacias!!!

🔥

Thanks!! I think that's always how it feels when looking up, but the only way to climb 2kyu is climbing 2kyu... Right? 😂

Epic!!!

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing 💪🏽

Yeah 100% true, grades are relative to each gym and just as you said there's just a ton of hard stuff

BPUMP Is a great goal to have, even if you get here and get humbled it's all a part of the process! These types of messages are why I kept making videos after that first one. Seeing people inspired by my experience is something that still blows my mind, I'll keep on making videos and improving and I'll see you when you come to Bpump 🔥

Thanks Charlie!!

I think there's that but also in Japan I've experienced the opposite and by opposite I mean grades have been getting even harder. Since nobody want to add a new tape because that would devalue the others + make it a problem in the future 😂 but the level is constantly rising grades tend to get harder over time

I haven't been to Europe but I would love to, now that I've been here I think I'll benchmark every single place I go to in the future against it 😂 I think you should check out my Bpump grades video if you haven't, I think it's a good insight in the differences with other gyms th-cam.com/video/_gmyVwp0X7c/w-d-xo.html

Thanks Mike! I'm always glad to help out and I'll keep them coming 😁 By the way have you ever tried out the English DOJO?

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing I've wanted to try it out, but my folks and I usually climb Tues and Thursday evenings. I know it's on mondays, at least for this month! I'm interested in leveling up to around light blue tape since I am currently climbing white and some light blue tapes. If the dojo also teaches around that level, I'll definitely make some time for that!

Ohh I think you might be a bit to strong for it 💪 but that's a good thing. I would still give it a try, I aim to set around white tape but sometimes moves trip up even 1Q climbers 😂 Yeah it's always on Monday night's from 8-9pm

Yeah it's crazy!

Thank you! Which one helped you the most?

Thanks for sharing, I'm curious! What grade range do you climb and where in the US? Most customers from America told me + 3 and from Canada and Europe +2. Personally I can't compare since I've only climbed twice in America and it was a long time ago

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing I climb around V9-V10 in my home gym in BC, Canada. Most gyms in the area are similar, but some are easier or harder of course. I would say some gyms I've been to in the US were definitely -3 from bpump gyms, but I think that very much ties into them being commericial gym so softer boulders means more climbers usually. At bpump aki I sent a couple brown tape and got every move on a handful of green tape, but didn't send any. At ogikubo I sent 1 brown tape and tried a few green. I'm looking at the grade scale that they put at ogikubo and I take back my initial statement, that gym is +2-3 if you go with what they say on their scale. Keep in mind I only went for one session at each gym so it felt about right, the V9-10 boulders usually take me a session or two depending on the boulder.

Epic! Getting those things in a single day is what I aim at. You're an inspiration! Ohh you are from Canada! I've been told by Canadians that it was +2 for them so it seems Canada is a bit harder than the US. I would love to go on a trip over there and try it out for myself Any gym you recommend?

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing In Vancouver, I have a bias, but Base5 Coquitlam is good for routes and boulders (though I can't say things will stay good going forward, lots of people moving around). The Hive North Shore has a good range of boulders, but their gym uses a grade scale rather than specific grades. There is a new gym opening in Vancouver called Progression that will likely be one of the best gyms here, so be sure to visit that one if it opens while you're here. For most gyms here I wouldn't be too concerned about grades and more just enjoy the climbing. In Montreal, Rose Bloc and Bloc Shop are really nice. I'd say the grading sometimes is always a little funky, but it's difficult to keep things exact with indoor boulders anyways. If you do visit Vancouver, best thing to do is hit up Squamish haha.

Yeah I've seen rose block and block shop in the Richardson's videos looks pretty sick. Would love to try everything out

Thank you for your constant support Mr. Freeman!

😂 V0 until the hardest grade

Epic!! I love outdoors and used to do a bunch in the past, especially for lead but lately I don't have much time so it's hard 😅

I tried to but it didn't work!

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing Sorry I was being mean. Pretty good vid

The shot was for demonstation purposes but very true, that is not something that happened in a year but more like 3 years. Having said that probably 70% happened in one year in japan. I had a hamstring tear a few years back so it was especially bad. My family always made fun of me for being so stiff, I swear its not an exageration

Yeah! It's a 2D that was one of the final boulders for the Iichiko 2024 Comp. its pretty crazy to think that 3 climbers got the send in less than 4 min but that's the japan team for you 🤣

Thank you my friend! Rolito88 for ever

Thanks for the sub Eric! We'll be waiting for you when you're back 🔥

Yeah I know what you mean, that feeling that the only way to climb harder is to train and be stronger is not something bad but that's just one of many things so having a group of route setters that promote that type of climbs really drives the need to improve everything not just strength

Thanks!! I'll keep it coming 🔥

Yes!! Exactly, plus it helps you see climbing as so much more than just I have to be stronger or pull harder on this move, it's really easy to default and think it's just about trying harder but at least for me that's an easy trap to fall into. In the long term spending time finding the beta and learning the move makes it much better

😂 Don't do that please! We love papa Magnus. But thanks for the support 🔥

Thanks! What's something you would want to see?
