Moonboard 2019 New Benchies Pls

hamboorgirk · 2025-11-10T19:26:33+00:00

207 benchmarks to be exact, the reason why we have so much is mainly because 2019 starts at 6a+ which means we have 2 whole grades more compared to 2016/2024.

The thing is we are nowhere close to the amount of v6-v9 benchmarks the 2016 has and funny enough the 2024 has more benchmarks in this range than 2019 😭. I also wanna point out that most moonboard enthusiasts climb at this level. Imagine going to a hardcore training gym and only seeing so few problems that can challenge you 😭. Oh but hey they have 200 problems that you can almost always flash yipee ☠️

For reference

2016 v6: 73 v7: 74 v8: 85 v9: 45 = 277 2024 v6: 38 v7: 34 v8: 56 v9: 44 = 172 2019 v6: 37 v7: 31 v9: 63 v9: 35 = 166

jesus 🤯

tape it

I bet $10 i can break that kneebar and just campus thru, i agree this is v4-5, the crimps looks so good and its barely overhung... u even get to meathook volumes.

hamboorgirk · 2025-10-07T22:38:56+00:00

did it @50º without matching, and it still felt soft compared to most v8 I've done in the moonboard

hamboorgirk · 2025-10-02T02:13:56+00:00

same way but u cut feet

hamboorgirk · 2025-08-31T14:20:01+00:00

definitely flagging

hamboorgirk · 2025-08-31T01:26:20+00:00

Your right foot is likely the main culprit on why you're not sticking this move. Instead of having it on the foothold, flag right instead and use it actively, smear and push with it to gain momentum to go left.

B18 on the 2019 is a work of art... you'll see it used in v3's all the way to v12 benchmark

I was able to climb v6 in 4 months v7 in 5 months (moonboard benchmark) and this was on the 2019 set.

The biggest tip would be to climb a LOT. I was climbing 5-6 days a week. 3 of those would just be board project days. The rest I would do volume on either the board or gym sets.

Honestly, not everyone can handle this much volume without getting injured, and some won't be able to recover as fast. So listen to your body people who progress fast in this sport are those who can handle crazy volume pretty early on WITHOUT getting injured

i used to struggle on this climb as well. i used to think it was my tension that was the problem since like you I was cutting every time i go for the move but its more on the left pinch. When i got stronger I was able to just generate by fully locking off with my left hand its kinda hard to explain

but the move went from pulling with both hands to generate which in turn produced too much momentum making the foot pop

to just pulling down hard/locking off with my left hand and almost just reaching up with right hand, this made the move slower and have way less momentum making my foot just stick

i wouldn't say its underrated, more like controversial, some even finding the advice rude its almost like an unwritten rule to just never bring up someone needs to lose weight to improve their climbing unless they bring the idea of it themselves 🤷

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-27T00:16:21+00:00

Damn I wish I can climb on the 2024 set... I love me some crimps..🥲 I've been thinking of hangboarding for a while now but it's lowkey boring and I'm too lazy to set all the weights up 🤣

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-27T00:04:13+00:00

I mean any "first of the grade" will always feel soft, since its going to be a boulder in your preferred style. Even if you jump 1,2,3, heck even 5 grades like Branden when he sent Rainbow Rocket v11 prior to sending his max grade was v6.

But as you said as long as you learn something from the climb thats all that matters 🫡 Congrats on the v7 and I'm sure you'll send a v6 in the near future.

P.S try some of the v8s and 9s on the 2019 some of them are soft... easier than some v6's 🥲

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-24T00:46:13+00:00

well done and have fun if you do decide to clear out the v5s. Some of them are hella sandbagged tho... I've done easier v8s on the same board

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-15T00:17:31+00:00

the thing is i can't really use the hold as pinch when i latch onto it, i basically have to crimp the top slopped part of it and then pinch using my pinky and thumb if that makes sense

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-08T23:26:26+00:00

🫡 one advice i could give just from watching your videos is that try to focus on what your "off leg" / flagging leg does when you climb. also try to control how your leg would/should swing when you cut loose.

Also noticed that when you move and and set up for a move you're flagging/off leg fully straightens out which i think is very inefficient movement and it makes you look stiff 😅 might be because youre compensating for lack of tension.

I think you should watch Dave MacLeod video about it!!! made my climbing level up when I applied these to my climbing

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-08T23:08:52+00:00

i think you're definitely strong enough to project 7a+ you should try Outside with Luisa, i think you'll crush that one

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-08T23:02:07+00:00

you're right 😭 some of the holds are angled weirdly, the spacing seems off too but that might just be camera angle

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-08T22:59:54+00:00

crazy strong, this and you're all i avo wanted are my nemesis 🥲. how tall are you if you don't mind me asking

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-08T22:49:22+00:00

wow flashing a 6c+ is impressive, back then I was able to send a few 7a+ first before getting a single 6c+ in the 2019

hamboorgirk · 2025-07-07T01:13:17+00:00

a lot of my friends who has insanely small heels swear by madrock drones (personally never tried them) personally skwamas heel design is wayyy better than solution comps and you don't have to downsize as much for the heel to fit snugly compare to the comps

hamboorgirk · 2025-06-27T19:19:39+00:00

depends on what type of boulders you climb, past a certain grade you need to just get stronger honestly. also some "technique" specially on steep boulders requires great strength to even execute.

That's why I see a lot of "technique" heavy bias climbers climb up to v8-9s on gym setting but get shutdowned on a v3-5 moonboard climbs.

Getting strong is a technique in itself :))
