  • Ahead of his appearance at The La Sportiva BMC British Bouldering Championships, Hangar Ambassador Alex Waterhouse hits the yellow set at our Liverpool Matchworks wall. Can Alex flash our hardest grade? And does attempting to flash change the way you hit a climb?

    Insane. Yellows are crazy hard here. Even the best local guys struggle. He made them look like blues.

    You know you are good, when you make other think they can do the boulder too. After watching this, I totally think I can flash all of them, but I know I cannot climb these in several sessions. :D

      Dude made me feel like I can literally fly, and I would probably struggle to get my feet off the ground on most of these boulders.

      Yeah, and the word 'Pro' infront of 'climber' in the title may also be a little hint at him being good ;)

    Nice route setting and cool video. Correct me if I'm wrong though, to my knowledge I thought you can only use bolt holes on walls and not on holds! Use of bolt holes on holds usually make holds twice as easy, especially on slopers!!?

    • @slapthesloper
      @slapthesloper 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Bolt holes on the wall are not allowed for hands but you can step in them (barely lol).
      They can block bolt holes on actual holds if they want but it's pretty rare for it to be easier to mono a bolt hole like this and have it be easier than the intended beta so generally fine

    • @zacharylaschober
      @zacharylaschober 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No bolt holes on the wall for hands, volumes and holds are on, and if use of the bolt hole made a problem tremendously easier then the setting is poorly thought since often thumbing the bolt hole as with a pinch is the most useful, but would almost never take a worse position on the hold just to get a slight improvement on pinching. There are those sinker monos… I mean commercial gyms don’t often set with plugs but few people want to mono for a random plastic problem, you just know you’re cheating yourself, same as not trying the run and jump because technically you can climb in off volumes or some such.
