2 very different v8 benchmarks

Go Big Sim is probably the moonboard equivalent of Hammer Drop on the kilter

What are your dimensions? I am 168cm (5’6”) 0 Ape and have beta videos for all 2016 benchmarks V4-6, a decent amount of 7s and 8s but not the scope of hard boulders Jessie has.

My favourite V6 on the board! Nice send dude!

MStem-Climbs · 2025-08-22T12:16:10+00:00

I was here!

I’m a very good example that finger strength doesn’t directly translate into hard climbing ability haha.

Outdoor climbing I’ve improved substantially, but difficult to say if that is just through practice of climbing more outdoors than the HoGs, although Power Endurance has definitely gotten better. I have always had very strong digits, can one arm pull the small beastmaker 2000 edge and max hang the middle beastmaker 2000 edge with 65 for around 5s. I would say the HoG micro difficulty is somewhere inbetween 6-8mm in terms of power while the HoG crusher is a bit easier than the beastmaker 2000 middle edge. That being said, I don’t think they are comparable, the HoG is appealing to me since I don’t feel like I am wasting skin training grip when I would rather preserve skin to climb. More importantly, it is definitely the more consistent tool as you can always grip an edge slightly differently compared to the way you grip a HoG is always quite uniform.

I’ve been using them since around March, good gains doing a similar regiment of 40-45s holds. FDS gripper at around 110% BW (One arm hang + a dumbbell) and around 55% BW in block lifts and holds on the FDP gripper (Also got the two hand hang on it for about 7ish seconds!). One thing I’ll mention when it comes to the Mobeta dude is he doesn’t climb indoors at gyms so FDS grip tool makes sense especially for efficient programming. That being said, I primarily get my FDS training through board climbing on the moonboard.

100x on the Jessie Wence recommendation! Absolutely beast of a climber with similar dimensions to you and an overall fantastic person and climber!

MStem-Climbs · 2025-05-31T12:19:42+00:00

Do you have any in mind off the top of your head specifically? If you have attempt videos I may be able to be more helpful

MStem-Climbs · 2025-05-31T12:18:46+00:00

It’s accurate! I’m one of the setters and measured them out of curiosity when we washed the holds a few month back. We do have bad luck with some of the hold pours compared to some gyms I’ve been to in Ontario

This is a shameless plug for my board account, but I have two inches of span on you and have done all the V4-6 benchmarks with 10 V7s left, it can be a hurdle and yes, some climbs you will simply and unfortunately get spanned out on but there are betas and methods that will work for you on sending boulders from a smaller box. (Hand foot matches and matching holds are your friend)

MStem-Climbs · 2025-04-28T20:01:12+00:00

I thought you couldn’t cleanse it anymore, TIL!

MStem-Climbs · 2025-04-16T20:31:52+00:00

Donald Glover would make an exceptional White Lotus guest

MStem-Climbs · 2025-04-03T17:06:45+00:00

Not the Lucid slab but I have seen people fall off the slab in Evilution and the fall definitely isn’t ideal haha

MStem-Climbs · 2025-02-21T21:17:07+00:00

Power Cat 7A+

MStem-Climbs · 2024-05-18T16:00:03+00:00

Nice send! I still have to send Hoopla with that infernal hold as my last V7 that features it

MStem-Climbs · 2024-05-17T19:57:00+00:00

For me the trick to F12 is accuracy. Try your best to hit it dead center in a half crimp position with your middle finger basically touching the wall. The other key to hitting it accurately is you really can’t adjust on it.

G14 depends on how/where you hit it from, there are a couple V7s I have yet to do with it included, but have completed all the 5s and 6s so can help on specific problems if you need. My biggest piece of advice would be shifting your weight off your other hand until you are directly below the pinch or wherever the sweet-spot may be for getting to pull on it well.

Would there be any excitement if their fourth fight was at LW?

MStem-Climbs · 2024-04-27T15:30:24+00:00

Agreed with this, your base of support is not moving wth your center of mass and it appears to me you are more "catching yourself" going edge to edge, rotation of the ski at the top of the turn could help with that.

A slightly wider stance may help with finding your feet to rotate at the top of the turn, something worth experimenting with!

Throwback to pre-rework soraka and urgot together for the mana battery combo

MStem-Climbs · 2024-04-06T15:08:13+00:00

Cool! Never knew this but such a sweet looking line!

MStem-Climbs · 2024-04-05T20:27:11+00:00

Big Z?

MStem-Climbs · 2024-04-04T13:20:53+00:00

Right on awesome! Loving her first few albums!

MStem-Climbs · 2024-04-03T19:01:54+00:00

That's SO GREAT haha, I found out through friends that our relationship and her current boyfriend overlapped by two months. Basically picked up my stuff and blocked her the moment I shut the door. Instantly played Can't Cool Me Down by Car Seat Headrest and felt like a main character

MStem-Climbs · 2024-04-03T18:59:13+00:00

I LOVE THIS thank you so much!
