I would like to see artur climb after a coaching and some technical learning ! Lead forts time outdoor... that was awesome (and im jealous)

I never use an Ohm indoors, when the weight difference is less then 25 kg!!! The Ohmega will be way more usable

MB & Japanese gyms' grades are pretty similar. You need to have good techniques to do either, so it's not really sandbagged. Commercial gym grades tend to be soft to attrack more customers It's nice to see your progression throughout the vid. I think the biggest improvement is your footwork & body tension, which is what beginners tend to lack

6c/6c+

Is it not common to wear helmets when bouldering? I know the falls aren't massive but I'd feel quite uncomfortable taking a fall from that height with rocks all around.

I appreciate the video. But route setting needs more. I can't wait for the carpenter video next!

9:30 sounds like a soft core porno

This is cool to see! Currently I'm climbing V4 and I'm setting myself the goal that when I hit V5 I'll give the moonboard a shot as well.

higly interesting. perhaps this is more of a workout for the tendons in the arm. that can be why you fealt the arm becoming "harder". and the vanes popping out.

Initial fall belayer was way too far off the wall - adds 2-3m fall. Ohm is nice in many situations, but needs practise for soft falls and less clip fumbling.

great climb and great determination but...was the point learning to trust your gear or just redpointing a hard climb?

I shouldn't have watched this. As a guy who can maybe do a sandbagged v3 I'm pretty amazed. Going to need to get a squeeze bal or something to use at my desk job cuz my fingers def aren't strong enough for any of that lol

Will try it. You can maybe put a scale down to really measure how much weight you apply to your fingers.

I've found that doing practice falls was really helpful for me to get used to falling. I think that after watching this video I've realized I was never really afraid of falling but rather uncomfortable with it. It's really interesting to see your perspective on a legitimate fear as opposed to a discomfort. I have also found that clipping when the draw is around level with my torso helps with this fear because you pull significantly less slack out when clipping at "proper" height. This also forces you to be more comfortable climbing above the draw which is definitely something I struggled with at the beginning of my sport career.

One look at that ear and you knew he was gonna be strong af. Nicely done.

Biggest thing for me with outdoor sport climbing is as much as I'd like to try harder climbs I don't want to bail and have to leave stuff behind!

boards aren't sandbagged, gyms are soft. As well as board climbing is really focused on strength and tension. It hurts the ego when you first try but man do you get stronger once you get passed that.

Hahaha omg its like I watch myself from yesterday. I was so hyped to try it out. Been climbing for three years and can do the second hardest grade in my main gym. Yet I cant do two moves on any V4 on the moonboard. It was such a reality check. xD

This has to be fake. Footwork is too good.

I've just started climbing like a month ago. My brother's been climbing 3 years. Was sad cuz I couldn't do an underhung route and he said check out the tension board for practice. I couldn't do the v0, it may have been a v1 whatever the easiest one was

If you grew up on British trad rather than technically harder but safe 'outdoor' gyms, it makes perfect sense.

You can gage 60-70% of your bodyweight by putting a scale under your feet while you're doing it.

Hot take: if the top out is not interesting , adds no difficulty and the down climb is sketchy, you can skip the top out and tick the boulder legitimately. Personally, I hate dropout boulders and I always top them out , but most of the time I regret it.

Awesome! I have the exact same problem actually, but I really want to try and overcome it.

i don't think the moonboard is sandbagged, gym grades are just super soft in comparison

Good effort

I boulder outdoors because I’m one of the poors.

Arthur got that dog in him

Those pads look FRESSSSSSH. Josh, hook a brother up. 🎂 v 🥧

This video inspired me to give the boards a go at my local gym and I am now completely in love with it. Thanks Mike!

As the great Tom Brady has always said when asked what his favorite Super Bowl ring was well the next one. So now you go after the next 11d and then the next 11d and then the next 11d and then the next 12a

im sure you get asked this a lot but do you think a magnus collab will ever happen? also id just like to say you and your videos probably got me back into climbing, its been over a year since i last went but i just refilled my chalk bag and im about to climb again for the first time in forever

No Decoy board? 🥲

Congrats man!

I've found soloing trad routes to help a lot. Around 2-3 grades under my onsight lead grade. Obviously not for everyone but worked for me

Good video. Fun to wach :) Juust one question: Why you're clipping so early? if you do ine or two more moves You can clip more or the same confortable position without need to taking so much rope or using your moth to extend it and its faster

Fab video and congratulations on your achievements 🎉 Font next?

I found fall practice helpful and got used to taking big falls quickly, but that did not immediately translate to taking unanticipated falls. One tip is that if you're getting too scared waiting to fall, you should dial back the intensity slightly and let go as soon as you decide where to fall. You don't need to let the belayer know. They should be ready to catch a fall no matter what, especially if you tell them on the ground. If you can figure out an effective way to add some fall training, it could be quite beneficial as you can take many more falls than if you were falling from climbing hard.

15 kg is the problem In my opinion And the belayer is already doing so much for the climber so it’s nice to use the ohm to make there lives a bit easier

I've only outdoor climbed once but my common sense dictates that slab climbing is a good base for topping out, especially since most outdoor boulder topouts, are on slab.

I found you before the climbing, but I love seeing these climbing videos also. Keep going as I can't wait to see what's next.

Looks like beautiful countryside too.

Keep at it and it'll feel no different than the gym, you get a feel for the move you might fall off and know how to land it correctly. Very rare to fall of when you don't expect it

A week doing circuits in Font will sort out any fear of topouts. And, will make for a good video!

Edging myself out of the confort zone 🗣️

I love the comments here. They are so helpful. I also love that Mike is wearing a helmet. I wish that were the norm ❤

Sorry why do you think your going to fall before you even started climbing.... this shouldn't even enter your head....its not ok to fall.... your there to enjoy climbing.... figure the route out.... sorry just don't get that mentality......

Topping out is difficult for people that climb mainly indoor(me included). Top-outs doesn’t exist in most gyms, so it’s reeeeeally uncomfortable doing hard stuff outdoors, that you haven’t done easy versions if indoors. I was fortunate enough to find a couple of old school gyms in London that had top-outs. It helped so much with confidence to practice real easy boulders with top outs
