My GOAL: ⭐
All The 7B+ / V9 on the MOONBOARD 🌙
I started this journey at V3, and I'm slowly working my way up to my goal of climbing V9 / 7B+. The fun part of this challenge is embracing all the failures along the way because I want to climb each grade before moving on to a harder one!
Climbing on a MoonBoard can be an exciting and unique experience, especially if it's your first time.
What to Expect on Your First Time
Familiarize Yourself with the Board: The MoonBoard typically features a vertical wall with holds arranged in a grid pattern. The holds can be customized, and the wall can be used for both bouldering and training.
Check the App: Download the MoonBoard app on your smartphone (available for iOS and Android) and create an account.
LED Lights: The holds on the MoonBoard are equipped with LED lights that indicate which holds are part of the route. When you climb a problem, the app will light up the holds in the specific sequence for that problem.

EEEE PORCO DIOO
No pain like it bruv, twatted my shin at SQ last night. Climbing feels relatively pain free, smashing a body part off a hold/rock by accident is a rude awakening!
How did you twitted your shin?! As well did you managed to do that green in the cave you were working on long time ago?!
@@francoclimbing lack of spacial awareness? Age? The list of possibilities is endless! Nah, the great thing about indoor walls is the reset. When you don’t/can’t finish something, at least you never see it again 😂
@@that_which_is_not do you need to do any rehab?! Or planning to train on it to make the shin stronger?! I'm interested of what you going to do?! Need that knowledge for my future self 🧓 Yeah! They remove those problem so quickly, that projecting is becoming a mythology now in climbing gyms! 😯
@@francoclimbing no rehab for the bump required, simple rest my G. Tbh, that’s my top tip, the older I’ve got the more rest I need. Sleep is money!
I enjoyed your video and just wanted to let you know that the moonboard you’re climbing on is the most sandbagged. Also the holds are in terrible condition at that gym.
Thanks 😊! Yeah, end of the day the grade is just a little motivation! What I truly care is improvement! Oooh 100%, those holds are slowly becoming double texture :D... although, imagine if I can hold this horrible holds, when I will be climbing on the good ones!! Oooo is going to feel like HEAVEN 👍
For good you are not a doctor
I got blessed of knowing what is that I don't want to do in life 😅
Lift that!!
It's coming soon!! It's coming!!
These are the 4 things I’m incapable of with a proper fever 😅
No worries! You rest, I train!
Moisturiser convert, love it 😘
Bobo balm ! :D
I tried to climb without underwear... how do you sit down when you have shorts 🤔
Don't be shy of showing your beauty to people 😅
The meat thing become a foldable chair where he can sit. Don’t you know how anatomy works?
GG
you got insane pulling strength bro
My mom loves to cook! So all those grocery taken to the 3rd floor... they kind of paid off! 😆
I was hoping you would climb the thing 🤷♂️🫤
I did :) not in this video though! You were one click away :D
i recommend relaxing your arms when you catch holds. your applying good feet pressure but you keep holdin a bent arm position when you catch the hold meanin your constantly applying downward pressure with you hands making your legs to lift off wayy easier. try to grab holds with minimal pull and effort, catch and pull out not up so the counter pressure automatically makes your feet dig into the wall
Oh!! Interesting, I been reading your message over and over cause I was trying to understand the dynamics! What's you are saying does apply especially on the Moonboard, right?! So just to make sure that I understood, when I go to grab hold with my arm relax and a pull out motion, this will make sure that my arms are straight and my body tension is on point, correct?! :) I appreciate this tips so much, you cannot even believe how many things I want to try now with this knowledge!!
@@francoclimbing yeah you got it, its all about knowin when to tense and relax, breathe then tryhard but back to relaxation unless your in a bad position then hold the tension. moonboard has a different style of climbing and one way to climb, i’d like to call it the deadpoint style as every move is gonna require momentum to get to and then just learnin how to apply counterpressure to stay on. the main strength it involves is crimp strength so i recommend building that up to make sure your able to hold on to every and any hold that is either small, bad, weird angle, etc. just adapting to whatever the hold is and then applying the techniques to complete the climbs
@@powslayz3690👏 my man!! At the moment I feel like every move I do is a bad position 😂! Never beard of this climbing style "dead point" and couldn't agree more as I feel like that most of the time 😅! Yeah, I always thought of thinking to train crimps but as I find hanging so boring I mainly do campus at least once a week! What kind of training you do for crimp training if you do any obviously?! :)
@@francoclimbing if all moves feels like a bad position to you then its either your not relaxed or the hold is too hard to hold onto. my training program involves hangboard and fingerboard (portal hangboard as some people call it) and yeah just warmup with no hangs then slowly add weights and just hang on whatever mm edge thats comfortable for you. make sure you actively hanging though otherwise you gain nothing like no strength, no nothing. on climbs your actively engaging your muscles as you hang so you’d want to do the same in your training program
@@powslayz3690 I feel the bad positioning plays a big part in my climbing, reason why I started recording as it's easier for me to pinpoint my mistakes! As a warm-up I usually use the Captain Fingerfood 360 which did make my warm up less stressful and easier to track my progresses! I appreciate you took the time to explain all this to me, you been really helpful Thank you Powslayz :) Where are you from?!
I try to explain this to people but they don't understand. You don't have to eat at the first signal of hunger from the brain. For thousands of years, food became very scarce for humans during winter. So our bodies have become very efficient at taking energy from food and storing it as fat. Our brain is essentially hard wired with the desire to eat food in case of times where food is scarce, to ensure our survival. But in the 21st century, food is not scarce (for most people) so we have to re train our brains to understand that you don't need to eat when hungry.
That's right! You couldn't have explain it better!! I'm glad you took time to write this down, I appreciate that! 👏
V3 first day! Nice
Yeah! He did quite well for his first day
Wow he did such a great job for his first sesh! So strong! I loved the tips you give for the foot positioning also. Now I’m curious to watch him climbing the yellows! 🔥
Yeah! There is actually a yellow that you tried in Ep.2 (Coming out tomorrow), you will see how he struggles with that one :)
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Some good content!! Thank you Vito 🙂
🤯
As long as it helps in the soul!
Are u high?
Not when I record my videos! I get to chill out at some point and stop talking 😅
Putting chalk on holds and brushing it off can make them feel less humid. Cleaning your shoes is even more important. The gym and rocks would all be better if everyone cleaned their shoes.
Interesting! When you saying cleaning the shoes, you mean the inside or the outside?!
@@francoclimbing the outside. Particularly at the boulders. Small amounts of dirt and sand get ground into the rock as you stand on your toes. It polishes the little feet away after hundreds or thousands of attempts. Very noticeable in high traffic areas. Extremely important in sandstone areas. Also helps your friction on poor feet of course.
@@skipperv7884 Oh, I understand now! Thanks for the explanation!! I guess now it will be even more effective since you told me is useful :)
That jug one move is 100% getting sent next session
Yeah!! I need to send it for you :)
you're making the moon board look fun! 4:40 fantastic catch my goodness!
Yeah! It's incredibly rewarding and frustrating at the same time 😅 I feel is so fun cause I'm able to track my progress with ease! As the grade in the gym can vary so much and you don't have much time to project. You should try to do the same :) Start from the easiest grade and you are only allowed to go to the next grade if you done all the grade before, is super fun!!
Abrakadabra!! Lol
Thinking about that I could have just set up the hold the way I wanted and send the boulder easily 😅
😂😂😂😂
Unreal things happen at The Arch 😆
those veins are insane
Thanks! Happen most of the time at the end of the session where there is a lot of pumping in my arms 😆
sick sent! what angle is the moonboard set at?
The 2024 is set at 40°
Amazing foot tension bro.
Thanks! That's how I build my relationship with the Moonboard 2024, a lot of tension and mystery
😂😂😂
👋🫂
What’s the hardest one in your opinion?
1. Twisting In The Wind 2. Fractal Geometry (Cause on this Moonboard the wall doesn't allow me to get in the right position) 3. The Deadly Rhythm This one are by far the 3 more difficult in my opinion
You did that with ease😊
Yeah! I was feeling particularly strong that day, especially cause I didn't sleep that day 😅
Sorry mate, but it hurts @ 40+. You got that to look forward to! 😉
Ahahahah! We will see at 40+ for now I'm going to destroy myself 😅
😳 he’s back baby
Back into the cave 🚇

Can't hear what you are saying my friend
There is an easy fix for that! Turn on the volume
looks like a nice problem - is this the arch bermondsey ?
Strong!!!!
Thanks! Want to be even stronger 💪
Damn that looks so hard! Any tips on how to start?
If you have climbed for over then a year you can jump on it and try it! As the tendons in your finger will be strong enough to support the training on the Campus Board and avoid unnecessary injuries!
@@francoclimbing nice, let’s see how I’ll be in a year then 🪓
Despise slab, totally agree haha
I actually appreciate Slabs much more since they don't require much strength and can be climbed everyday! Still would like to see the slab wall out of the gym for free, as the mental and physical pain that they provide is not worth the money 😬
@@francoclimbing agree, the juice is very much not worth the squeeze!
@@that_which_is_not ahahhahahahha!!
👋 😘 So funny you mentioned my tips! #carparktalk
I waited and waited and waited for you on Sunday :(
damn u wearin a jacket nice climb tho
Thanks! This is one of the soft 6C
Big up J!
Jamie?!
@@francoclimbing Jada!
Is this arch?
Yes, it is! Do you climb here also?!
@@francoclimbing I used too, then I switched to their location in Surrey Quays. Nowadays I climb at Castle Climbing near Finsbury Park.
@@dryhump420 yeah! I mean The Castel is just another level of gym. They have every time of climbing you can imagine off!!
It seems that you're Italian.That's the first video I see on your channel so I don't know if you already said it
I'm half Italian yeah! You could discover the other half if you keep watching my videos 😊
@@francoclimbingokay, thank you for answering my question
@@Laugh_gamer Thanks for commenting!!
Great job! 🎉
Thanks, this was easier for me! I'm struggling now on the 6C+
@@francoclimbing keep trying.
What a cool sport!
Cool and quite social
I kinda wanna climb also 🧗 really cool video
You can always join! You know where to find me 😁
Nice shirt!
SHEIN 🤫
I have a big tip too
probs got a big tip but not as big as mine
Good for both of you! Good for her as well 😏
Good job!
Thanks! Do you climb as well?
very poor quality... I have to turn up the volume A LOT and it's recorded with a phone. This would be fine if it was a short. Not sure how this is HD when it's on a phone in portrait mode
Have you tried to change the quality of the video? Cause most of the time youtube will use the quality that matches your Internet connection. The footage is filmed on a Panasonic Lumic GH5 in 4K and then converted in HD to satisfy all the people that may have poor quality Internet! I appreciate your comment and I think that the issue is on your side as I know and always double check that everything is up to standard! With the audio you are correct, I'm still trying to figure it out how to get the best of it
@@francoclimbing Are you trolling? It's recorded with a phone in portrait mode and the audio quality is bad. Why do I have to repeat this?
@@jonaskarlsson5901 ok
Awesome dude! New Moonboard looks dope! :) great vid
Yeah! It's a great board to train pinch strength for sure! How is the new place?!
