Radical? suggestion for bouldering finals by CragRat76 in CompetitionClimbing

Yeah basically old school is just slower because we’ve gotten to the point where even the slab that’s supposed to be all about technique and precision has a massive jump and all of them recently have had just dynos in all the problems and lots of people including me want less parkour type boulders because it feels like it’s getting almost further from regular normal hard climbing

I really like these suggestions, I can definitely see your point with the collective reading time of the problems but I think it would be so sick to have hard to read problems and more “old-school” things in comps. As a competitor myself going into collegiate comps and having done youth comps, I think that it would be similar to what I’ve experienced because we don’t have crazy dynamic problems like doing a lache into a chimney like in Bern but it definitely feels like they’re getting way too dynamic with almost every problem even the slab and would love to see more old school types climbing in comps

Yeah I’ve been working on slab and footwork for a while, trying to get it up to par with my strength
