    Hi Emil, thanks for another fun video. Loved the Collab!
    I wonder, do you usually crush commercial gyms like this? Even the hardest grade does not take you too long to top.
    Isn't it kinda boring for you sometimes? I always enjoy seeing you in battle Mode, but this seemed like a walk in the park or is that only down to the editing?
    Obviously you are freaking strong and I wonder what it must feel like to enter a gym and not having multiple projects when walking out again.
    Thanks for all your inspiration over all these years. There was more than one occasion that your videos made try smarter and harder.
    Keep the great work up!

    • @EmilAbrahamsson
      @EmilAbrahamsson  ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Haha fun question.
      It differs a lot from gym to gym, but generally I’ll most likely flash everything except maybe 2-5 boulders in a medium sized gym, as long as they set stuff that’s kind of my style. Then again, I’ve spent full sessions trying to top tricky slab routes in commercial gyms only to leave empty handed.
      At Hang I did all the boulders, but it was a great session for me anyhow with lots of fun! It’s definitely not boring getting to climb all the boulders, but consequently 95% of my climbing training are on spray walls or Kilterboards. Hope that answers your questions :-)

      @EmilAbrahamsson  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@TheXeeman just don’t find the moonboard so applicable to rock climbing and stuff I enjoy doing. With my size it’s just high-step into a crunched position and explode. Also a higher risk of injury for me because of the shape of the holds.
      What moonboard kills it with is the progression and gamification system though, for that I’ve used it here and there.
      This being said, my ideal world would be a mix of the two into one board!

    Yonder is probably my favourite wall and much closer for me. But Hang is definitely worth the trip on occasion. I'm not naturally a very dynamic climber but Hang incorporate momentum in lots of different guises (not just big dynos), so don't be put off by the comp style setting

    Emil has the best fan support for crushing boulders, haha!

But B was relatively cool considering his shallow water solo wasn't really all that solo anymore ;).
    In all seriousness, looks like really great setting and a beautifull nice gym! Sick dynos!

      Wide, non-specific grades gets climbers to try stuff they otherwise wouldn’t.
      As a case-study example, I set a 7C once in one of the gyms I worked at, but left it ungraded for a week to see how that affected the traffic on it (holds were pretty good, moves looked fun). In the week where it was ungraded I saw countless climbers who usually max out at 7A try it and fight on it, after the grade tag it saw little to no climbers on it anymore. People will always let grades dictate their experience (sometimes for good reason, sometimes not), so it’s good to try and make them as wide as possible.
