Board climbing with the board boss is always an instant click!
A channel with just Aidan and a plank of wood with smaller wood pieces screwed on to it is all we need.
Always bringing the psych, thanks Wedge and Aidan!! 👊
Sometimes simple is best! Thanks 😁
Board sessions with Aidan is my favorite content on the interwebs! ty
Glad you enjoy it!
10:27 THIS is the smoothest and most professional save I‘ve ever seen
My usual morning: coffee and wedge climbing videos
Sounds like an ideal way to start the day! 💪💪
I think Aiden's greatest strength is his ability to not exhibit negativity, but instead to laugh, chat away with the cameraman, and focus positively on the incremental improvements and successes. There's little frustration or embarrassment, just trying as hard as he can.
Gaddamn aidan is looking rediculously strong right now! I died when he tried jims problem and made it look v2
Aidan is such a Chad. If he wasn't such a perfect man, I'd hate him.
😅
This man’s finger strength is becoming unreal 😩
Becoming? Man's done 9A on crimps and his fingers are just starting to become strong? 😂
mate it's always been unreallllll
This was great. Honestly I could just watch hours of people climbing their home wall and talking about it with passion and not get tired of it. Without the music it might even be a little ASMR-esque with Aidan's voice.
Thanks!
Mate Aidan was VIBIN here. So fun to watch.
Thanks!
Nice the way Aidan rolled onto his shoulder to avoid breaking his neck in the first 10 secs.
Wedge videos always feel the best to whatch pre-training
Thanks! Glad they get you psyched 💪💪
That first fall! 😂 I don't even know how anyone would manage that.
Aidan at the school room would be cool!
There is a vid of him on the school board from about a year ago. But I'm sure there will be more coming 💪
Nah nah nah, this man is my fucking idol legit. So much to learn from this absolute master of crimps, having climbed with him once, I realised I got a long long way to go! 10/10 quality. Love it
9:30 aidan saying "let's just keep things simple" after doing that crazy shit is unreal 😂
😅
ABSOLUTE SAVAGERY!!! LOVE IT!!!!🤩
Thanks!
keep the cellar content coming! love the custom woodies!
Will do!
this is, by far, my favorite climbing content on TH-cam
Thanks!
Jheeze, he’ll be pulling on by crimping the gap in between the plywood boards next.
Top notch content as per.
😅 thanks!
Inspiring to see even someone at Aidans level still making big improvements.
Now excuse me while I go and Moonboard
Good to see the legendary high angle crimp in real action ✊
Yeah babyyy, such a beast
Alright, the perhaps most impressive thing in this video now for me is the toe hook at 5:46.
I train at the 45er spray wall at Café Kraft where they got the same mini screw-ons and I can now confirm that it's impossible to do what Aiden did here.
There is 0 way to get any friction on these xD
Watching Aidan cut loose on those credit cards and regain makes my finger bones ache
Never saw the fun and joy in board climbing but since i found you guys im hooked.
Glad you're enjoying it! It's one of the few kinds of indoor climbing that I feel can come close to climbing outside 👌💪
Would love to see a strength off between Jim and Aidan, see what their metrics are and what makes them so good at their specialties
Would be an interesting comparison 🤔
He crimps literally everything!
In case anyone else was wondering - it's the flag of Yorkshire
Froth!! You know it’s hard when your face scrunches up while watching haha
I would want to climb with Aidan over almost anyone; such a positive chill attitude while being viciously strong
Have been waiting for another board video! Amazing to see such feats of strength. Aidan is slowly becoming my idol in climbing...
Glad to know I'm not the only one that gets that deep skeletal ache after seshing the crimps
beast
Yes! We need more Aidan! 💪🏽
Love a board sesh! 💪💪
Aidan Board video = Instant like
These videos are so dope!!
Thanks!
so strong!
1K views/hr so far, it seems like another great video from the Wedge team!
Thanks!
The paper clip necklace tho!
5:31 when my friends complain about how painful climbing is.
Aidan's skin is his only weakness lol
My fingers are hurting too after watching this 😅
Besides the content being great, the color grading is always so buttery smooth. I know I’ve seen this question a long time ago but what is the hardware setup? Cheers!
Thanks so much! I film on a Sony A7Siii and edit in Da Vinci Resolve 👍
already my 3rd time watchin this vid, always a banger
Glad you like it!
Mint video guys 🤙 I’m currently in the process of speccing out a woody for my garage. Would love to know the dimensions of this board as it looks great for the space it’s in 💪
Thanks! This one is 45 degrees, and about 2m tall
Next time please do some close up of these crimps, some like quarter pad half pad mm info is needed to really put this into grotesque perspective 👍👍
How often does Aidan make these sessions in a week?? And incredible strenght by the way🤯
I think it varies depending on his training plan, but it can be quite regular. He did have another board session later in the day after this...
@@WEDGECLIMBING Having this twice a week feels too much, he is having them twice a day??? WTF is he mutant or something?
@@bloctribe 😅 something like that...
Camera makes Aidan stronger! Cool little insight into a hard session. How long was the whole session?
Haha it seems that way! Probably about 2 hours in total
I love watching this. Q: All the crimps on the board can be taken with all four fingers, do you not set problems with 2-3 finger crimps beacause you find that you can always manage to get 4 fingers on problems outdoors or is it for some other reason?
I don't think it was a conscious decision as such not to have edges you can only get 2-3 fingers on. Although I think Aidan has made some holds more like that on his board back in the Lake District 💪
I wonder how many tendon injuries there were while watching this video.
cool session, very motivating as usual! What is the height of the board ?
Thanks! About 2m or so
Loved seeing the shit talking in this one
hey aidan, nice work , your finger strenght is unreal. Can you tell us the size off your training board and the angulation ?? thx a lot !
It's about 2m high at 45degrees 👍💪
Gets me pshyched to build a board😄 Whats the dimensions on that?
About 2m high at 45degrees 👍
Bit of an odd question, but what boulders would you recommend in fontainbleau ranging from 7a to 7c?
So many good ones! There's a load of bangers in the vids up on the channel. Some off the top of my head are:
Priapisme 7A stand 7C sit
Pancras 7A+ stand 7C sit
Bagheera 7C
Baloo 7A+
I watch some of Emil Abarhamsons video in fountainbleau he some cool one in some of his videos
@@WEDGECLIMBING Thank you!
I'll add them to my to do list!
@@anthonycelauro8920 Will do, thank you!
I think this is my kinda climbing lol low to the ground but a challenge 😂 I don't wanna fall 17 ft
What dimensions are that board? I’m thinking of getting one and that looks like the perfect size for my small apartment.
45 degrees overhung and about 2m high 👍
What off the wall training does Aiden do? (Jim as well!)
Oh to have 20 year old fingers again. The way damage piles up from hard crimping can be real bad.
How many mm is that left hand starting crimp? Looks ludicrous on a board that steep...!
I'd guess about 8mm or so. But curved in a way that makes it harder to hold
@@WEDGECLIMBING 🤯
@@WEDGECLIMBING That's so dumb
Does Aidan set the footholds for the boulders as well, or is he basically allowing himself using all of them?
I think he generally tries to use small feet only, unless the holds are really bad then he'll use the bigger feet
Has Aiden done the latice test? he must be one of the strongest crimpers out there.
Yeah he's trained by Ollie from Lattice so will have done I think. Although that test mainly tests your half crimp strength on a bigger edge, whereas Aidan's speciality is more full crimping on really small edges. So the scores may not be quite as high as you'd think...
So impressive!
I was wondering, how much time do you rest try to try?
For a session like that ?
Generally pretty long rests as the goes are maximal. At least a few minutes normally 👍
5:48 is that a toe hook? 😯
aaand I should have kept watching 😅
😅
Did u just walk up jims proj 😄 ya vile. 🤣
beyond bossy
Where are the holds from?
Loads of makes:
Beastmaker
Lock holds
Gucci grains
Jim Bowow
Hardwood holds
Loads more 👍
Anyone know who makes those rectangular crimps that look like hamburgers?
Gucci grains 👍
So time for a 4mm only problem i guess?
Alphane vid soon?????
Soon...💪
@@WEDGECLIMBING 👀👀👀
Aidan is far too strong
my fingers got a workout just watching this
