Awesome series, thanks for taking the time to walk through all these and explain how you decide what the grade is and all the edits and everything. I'd love to get into route setting some day!
Thanks for the encouragement. We have some home wall videos on this playlist and another one coming out Friday! If you have any friends who would enjoy this content be sure to share it would help bolster our stoke!
This is awesome, I would like to see more explanation on the hold size selection for each grade. Are they full pad crimps, half pad crimps, slopers ....
Right on, we can definitely do that on our next setting series. We already shot and edited 0-6 before releasing any of them and hearing the community feedback. We can't wait to go back and reshoot the grades with more explanation. In the beginning we were worried people would be bored so we left most of those shots out. The next series may be titled "Vertical Science" what do you think?
in my gym they would have left it without that last foothold to make things more spicy. I find it cool that they like to make hard v4 or whatever it is rather than make it a soft or solid v4, even the soft ones tend to have things where it could have had a convenient foot hold or easier start etc. Good video though!
I am loving the series guys. Id really like to hear more inner dialogue. What movement are you looking on achieving? Are you trying to make your climber use any certain techniques like back flagging or a gaston? Like "okay so as we get into the v5 i really want the climber to have a compression start on some crimps to try and engage the core". Some dialogue along those lines.
Thanks so much for the suggestion. That seems to be the biggest request from everyone. We shot these videos all in sequence before we ever released them so we will likely release another series where we go much more in depth with what we are doing. At first we were afraid we would bore everyone!
There is alot of technical nerds out there. A huge problem im having is the lack of a specific type of technical coaching im used to from doing jiu jitsu so long. I got spoiled lol
It’s preferred over a drill when you’re screwing bolts and fasteners. The impact driver has better torque. You could use a drill I suppose, I have seen it and when my driver was dead used a drill for a sec. But when you’re setting a lot of routes and constantly tweaking holds and placement the impact driver is the better tool.
Vertical South thanks a lot! If you‘re running out of grades to show sooner or later - just give us some advice on how to change a v0 to v1 etc. by changing holds, distances or whatever one can imagine.
Awesome, thanks so much for the inspiration. Do you think we could get by with diagrams and explanation or do you think we need to actually be moving holds on the wall?
Great, thanks for workshopping this idea with us. Moving forward we want to create a series called “vertical science” where we go a little more in depth over body position, hold choice and difficulty etc...
Looks like a bad boulder I am not going to lie. Unless you were going for really awkward positions and moves. Especially the move going over the lip is just bad
Personally, I prefer the climbs where the difficulty is from the moves involved rather than just the holds being smaller/ crimpier
Keep em coming
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Stick around for v5, it’s got a little bit more vibrant movement! Well, we‘ll let you be the judge of that ;)
This series is the best!

No problem at all, it means a lot that you enjoy it! Just keep climbing and I’m sure you’ll be setting eventually in some capacity!
Great video, I've always wondered the thought process behind setting problems. Thanks!
Nice, I especially like how you stood back from the wall to see how the wall looks and if the holds are all clustered in one spot.
Yeah! Sometimes that wide view is really what counts. Diggin your channel!
Totally into this channel! Could you guys set a problem on a home wall?

I was thinking this gym looked familiar than it changed camera angles and I was like ooooooh, that’s my back up place

Oh that’s awesome you do BJJ so does John!
Ik wondering. Is there a reason you are using an impact driver instead of a normal drill?
It’s preferred over a drill when you’re screwing bolts and fasteners. The impact driver has better torque. You could use a drill I suppose, I have seen it and when my driver was dead used a drill for a sec. But when you’re setting a lot of routes and constantly tweaking holds and placement the impact driver is the better tool.
The 5th part?
Yes sir! We started with v0. :D
Incorrect - pockets are most definitely not your friend 😂😂
Haha I think in this moment nick was referring to his work belt pockets. But that maniac likes climbing pockets just as much.
How many holds are there in total (hand-and footholds) on what overall lenght?
This is a fourteen foot wall and there are about 6-7 hand and probably 3 foot chips and two naturals
Vertical South thanks a lot! If you‘re running out of grades to show sooner or later - just give us some advice on how to change a v0 to v1 etc. by changing holds, distances or whatever one can imagine.
Awesome, thanks so much for the inspiration. Do you think we could get by with diagrams and explanation or do you think we need to actually be moving holds on the wall?
Vertical South a diagram (+ maybe showing a special hold) would do fine!
Great, thanks for workshopping this idea with us. Moving forward we want to create a series called “vertical science” where we go a little more in depth over body position, hold choice and difficulty etc...
I loved this video but problems like this at my gym are like v2?? Lol
It’s always tough to gauge a problems difficulty via a video! Wall angle, hold quality etc...
Thanks so much for the kind words!

This guy talks like an SNL character.
Eye protection while drilling lol
It’s kind of a no brainer right?
@@VerticalSouth only in a business setting and on camera. I get it, I just don't do it. Kinda like condoms, so far so good.
I hope your luck continues into the ages! Your right on camera the glasses are certainly more important.
@@VerticalSouth haha, 🤞🙈
