    Give Nikken more time, but chose really awkward holds. Like jugs on a slab and target 7b+. Or slopy crimps on 60° wall 6c. I think he might have some cool creative ideas.

    You should have a bag with different prompts (ex: toe hook, face the crowd start, hand jam, etc) and have him have to pull one before each build

  • @mopc3041
    @mopc3041 3 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    If Nikken is blind to the holds and then has 10 minutes to set a route, then once Nikken begins setting you guys should turn around. Then when Nikkens 10 minutes are up, you guys turn around and have 10 minutes to send! Route setters vs climbers!!

    Sorry but this looks like CEO Nikken slapped a problem up in under 10 mins and then jumped straight into an important business call in the corner while everyone suffered on it; this is the content I KNEW I NEEDED and as always, Erik has provided 😌 love you Erik, you’re doing great stuff

  • @KirstenRietveld

    Can confirm, this boulder was an absolute banger! Can't believe it was only set in 10 minutes. It was so intricate and delicate to climb that I was sure it would need a lot of tweaking to get right. Great video!

    How it started 1:30 vs how it ended 19:46 ... Nikken is on another level man. If you really wanna challenge him you need to tie up one of his hands to one of his feet and give him a screw driver instead.... only then he might struggle. Hats off to you sir.

  • @n8n8n8
    @n8n8n8 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nikken is a setting genius! this could be a new sport. speed setting. 4 setters all the get the same 10 holds and get 10 minutes to set them. you then have any number of climbers attempt the four climbs like in a competition and the scoring is based on how much separation you can create between the climbers just like in a competition. so if everyone sends your set or if no one sends your set, you get 0 points for the round. you ideally want a distribution of how many climbers can who top out, zone, or don't get past the 2nd move. something like that.
