    Kajsa's climb at 12:40 left me entirely speechless! The way that she used the momentum from pumping her right leg to launch to the final hold just looks so supernatural! I really want to know if that was her plan from the start, or if she just found a really creative way to capitalize off her right foot coming off the hold when it did...

    Some thoughts:
    1) Awesome to see Kajsa and Sofya's differences in style/beta.
    2) Great to see some slightly easier problems, really helps to see efficiency and flash technique.
    3) Interesting to see their different personalities side by side. Would've been great to see them talk about the problems or more in general.
    4) Is Sofya shorter than Kajsa?!

    What’s a good strategy for choosing problems at the gym? There’s always a ton of problems I wanna do. Sometimes I warmup, then jump to the hardest one I wanna try, but then I’m shot. But if I try to build up I feel too tired to try hard ones after all of it. How can I be more efficient choosing problems on the gym?

    • @leoingson
      @leoingson 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Build up from real easy to about flash level until your muscles are warm and energetic. Takes about 30min. Then do whatever pleases you most - flash away, or project that hard shit. When your power fades (another 45min?), stop. Stretch.

    These two are amazingly good climbers. I find it interesting that quite a few of the boulders don't go all the way up the wall. I have to keep in mind that my sample size is the two gyms I've been to in Oregon, but they don't do that.

    • @bryanosorio3958
      @bryanosorio3958 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Christopher Fanning yeah when you climb outdoors some boulders are 8 feet tall and overhung so it’s like 3 super hard moves to top out, and then you have 20-30 foot highballs. A good climbing gym will simulate as many climbing styles as possible. If you want to link a bunch of super hard moves together but still make it doable, it’s gonna have to be a shorter problem that may not reach to the top of the wall. Your local routesetters should try it.
