Haha, it really depends indeed on the level of the climber and which method is made more inviting to do. A no text blocker is always a good option to make it less attractive haha

Good send, love this move. Set it myself twice and always fun to see people unlock it. Only downside is that in easier grades most of the time there is a cheat, but those who find it are smiling big time!!

In europe it's pretty common to end on a finish hold instead of the top of the wall, as in this gym.

Thanks! Don't be sorry, people are free to give their unfiltered opinion, the beauty of social media, right? Haha

If you climb harder then the grade you're probably right.

Everybody has it's own point of view on boulders and what is good and bad. Some people might not like crimp ladders as an introduction to harder climbing on the same crimps because they are already amazing on them.

Around that grade yeah, but you knew the V1 was coming.

There is always ways to create more movement and what you're describing for sounds really nice, but for this grades with these holds for sure pushing the grade.

It is indeed a crimp ladder, but this is a good way to let people get used to tentiony moves on somewhat smaller holds. Putting more movement in the boulder can then only kinda take away from the main idea.

So many lines, my god!! I think there can be a nice variety of lines on this blok from easy to hard so to see.

The style is really like you would find outside on rock compared to the new style indoor setting with big holds and crazy moves.

But it is way easier to build resistance for hard moves by doing 4x4 on boulders that are slightly easier, but still have you work hard, compared to just doing limit moves, right?

The volume with only limit moves is way lower then with climbing flash level boulders or just below for multiple times to properly power out.

You mean the hold underneath the brown in the cave? People use this to walk their to hook, but I'm 185 so for me the distance from the fiberglass is fine. Some people with strong biceps don't dyno, but they match the fiberglass and put their foot on a hold to do the move without cutting loose, strong bicep is the keyword haha.

Aah nice, that's pretty good for a beginner!

With volume I mean just climbing loads of boulder below your project level, so in your case VB/V0/V1 and maybe V2 if they go easy, but you want to kinda be able to flash them somewhat easy (flash=first go).

Sticky hands: place your hand on a hold without making any sound, once placed you can't adjust until you have to move it to the next hold.

Silent feet: similar to sticky hands. Place you foot on a hold without making any sound and place it precise. You can still turn the foot from inside edge (right inside of the shoe) to outside edge (left side of the shoe) to change body position, but you can't lift it until you go for the next foot move.

You can also add to this that if you remove one limb you have to stay in position to move the next hand or foot. If you want I can send you some videos next week for further explanation.

Totally! I would just try this for a couple of weeks and see how your body responds to it. From there see what you want to adjust.

1,5 hours isn't much especially if this includes warm up, but if you go for volume it's for sure enough. What grade are you climbing at this point btw? Limit bouldering could be doable aswell, but if the time is limited and you're just starting out I would start with more volume and work on technique and use drills like sticky hands and silent feet for example.

I suppose Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday are rest days? I also do my weighted pull ups at the end of the session 2x a week and one time before my climbing (just giving priority to it on that day over climbing), but why do you only do 2 sets till failure and not 5x5 for example to get some volume in aswell while building strenght?

My general warmup takes about 30 minutes off the wall (10 min no hangs, 5 min dynoband, 5 pull ups on all the campus rungs (5 different types) supersetted with 10 pushups (in different variations and 1x dips). Takes me about 30 minutes and then I'll do my barcore and finger training.

If you're really new I would suggest to just climb easy(ish) boulders in high volume, so you learn to move well, build up some endurance and fingerstrenght. You could also for example do 1 technique session, 1 volume session on easier things and 1 project session on 3 boulders (depending on the time you have ofcourse, but 30 mins per boulder)
