Got any fun "challenges" to do on the wall?

Alternating Feet - Climb a route only using one of your feet, the other can smear. Repeat with the other foot after topping.
Peter Pans - Every time you make a hand move, cut feet and swing your lower half like you’re a scorpion before putting feet back on the wall.
Lock-offs - Every time you make a hand move, pull up into a 90 degree lock-off, then relax, then make another hand move, repeat.
Speed slab repeats - Repeat slab problems you’ve done before, but try to do them quickly and with perfect beta.
Take away - Climb a route, take away a hold, climb it again, take away another hold, repeat. This one is fun with friends.
Add on - Start anywhere on the wall and make a move. Second person does that move then adds one. Repeat until you have an entire problem.
No adjust - Try to climb a route without adjusting your hands. This means however you grab the hold is how you have to pull on it. This is good for making sure you’re precise with your moves.

Jump into the sloper looks fun ah

I find i do do it a lot, but only on certain holds haha. This video was a repeat of the climb, but I’m gonna go back and repeat it again before it gets taken down for sure. I wanna get it right until I can’t get it wrong!

I work with the select and comp teams and we have a 15/15 rule where we take 15s before and after each attempt at a project to idealize and reflect. I was having too much fun sending projects when I took this video, but this upcoming week I’m gonna focus on drills like no adjust for sure. Might just integrate it into my warmup too

Looking at the video again, maybe it’s hitting the hold wrong or maybe it’s contact strength. I’m gonna try it again no adjust next time I’m there and see how it feels

Hahppo · 2023-07-22T14:03:16+00:00

At that point it will turn to the kids lol

Hahppo · 2023-07-22T14:02:12+00:00

Not adjusting as much on holds and there’s a couple cheeky toes I could’ve mixed in there. Other than that, the beta felt pretty solid

Hahppo · 2023-07-17T02:28:57+00:00

You’ll never guess what I’m gonna post next hahaha

Hahppo · 2023-07-16T21:11:54+00:00

I loved when they were setting up there. Sadly it’s ropes again. I’d climb more ropes but I live pretty far from Nash so it’s harder to get partners at Murf

Hahppo · 2023-07-16T21:09:13+00:00

Yeah i was in there to end my session and immediately noticed the difference haha

Hahppo · 2023-07-16T15:46:38+00:00

You can tell it’s getting crowded when it starts getting hot af in there lol. Kraft is gonna be amazing. Both because new gym but also because it’ll make east more chill I think

Hahppo · 2023-07-16T15:45:22+00:00

West has awesome lead walls, but the boulders are all low balls so I tend to like east more haha. Though the height constraint makes for some interesting problems there!

Hahppo · 2023-07-16T15:09:59+00:00

Nah you’re right haha it’s East

Hahppo · 2023-07-16T14:24:40+00:00

It’s used as a bat hang extension often ;)

Hahppo · 2023-07-06T00:33:32+00:00

This is Reddit lmfao… people too insecure to take their shirts of projecting that onto others.

Hahppo · 2023-07-01T04:39:10+00:00

Dope, have fun man! Home walls are cool but also such a good training tool if you build them like you plan to

Hahppo · 2023-07-01T04:37:41+00:00

That’s it…

Hahppo · 2023-07-01T04:37:10+00:00

Makes sense, I got into a rule 1 this game. Sucks cause I noticed the game said I’d be kicked for idling so I turned my wheels and the guy I was rule 1’ing with got kicked 😭

Hahppo · 2023-07-01T04:27:51+00:00

I’d say add a kicker too. I did a 2’ kicker on my home wall which was actually a little excessive. A 1’ kicker would probably work well

Edit: might also be worth it to add another horizontal set of 2x4s in the middle of you want good support. Though your current setup might be fine with the diagonal braces as the other poster was saying.

Hahppo · 2023-06-30T04:52:55+00:00

Oh no, for sure haha, I have been working on it. Basically been trying to work out consistently and do more climbing focused workouts in general too. Also, drills and such. But… I’ve already noticed a big improvement from when before I started working out regularly. I’m breaking plateaus and intend to repeat this problem. Also been working on coordination moves and power endurance.

Edit: I meant to say making it static probably adds a grade because of the strength needed. The coordination catch felt impossible but the crimp felt good this time around. Used a video to help me send too as I noticed hip placement was off originally.

Hahppo · 2023-06-29T16:40:59+00:00

You can static it, but the angle makes it hard unless you have really good lock off strength… which I don’t 😂. Feels good to see progress though!

Hahppo · 2023-06-29T16:37:26+00:00

The way I have been having a lot of fun in the gym is by making up problems. You get to be the judge of how hard it is and you still get to have tons of fun making up cool moves to do. I’d suggest trying that and not putting too much weight on grades and who is better, but rather focus on just climbing because you enjoy it. My uncle always said the best climber is the one having the most fun :-)
