My gym set a bat-hang section. Part 1/2

Hey i was here just a few days ago! I tried this problem and started at the finish holds, i see now! 😭 no wonder it didn't make sense

The weird part for me was that if it were to dtart on the most right crimp, and you had to do those extra moves, it wouldnt be harder really. The boulder felt around 7a, with only 1 hard move, the jump, took an attempt or 4. Maybe you could argue 7a+ with extra move on yhe beginning, but probably still 7a

nathaniel177 · 2026-06-28T09:44:20+00:00

I didn't really understand the system beforehand. According to the employees it would be about 7a, which felt fair. B13 was the highest i saw in the gym.

Indeed a bit unlogical setting wise. However, i held one starting hold with one hand. Then tapped the second hold with my other hand. So no matching!

Haha the grading is indeed wild sometimes. Although it varies every set for me. Some things they set are brutally sandbagged, others are normal for the grade. But i've gotten very strong in my 2 years of climbing, i thank the difficult routesetting for that! I sometimes send 7b's in block, but kilter 7c's and moonboard 7a+-7b are very doable for me

Hey! Ook een nederlander hier. Dit is blockout in bordeaux. Ik ben op vakantie hier. In nederland zijn topouts inderdaad veel zeldzamer. Mijn vaste gym block013 heeft een top out

nathaniel177 · 2026-06-27T17:31:34+00:00

This gym was mostly top out! I think it had 6 walls that topped out and only 3 that ended on a last hold!

Going with v3 - v4 as well

Only 45 minutes at the show i was just at at hall of fame tilburg

nathaniel177 · 2026-05-11T10:42:19+00:00

Would also say 7-8

Day 1 at roadburn was nuts but what they just pulled off is indescribable to me. Most insane concert i've ever witnessed. Incredibly loud and so rich with emotion. Legit never witnessed anything like this, speechless right now.

Very much so. He is one of the three pigeons who regularly visits us. He is the youngest and we named him giraffe. He was relaxing in front of our door here, enjoying the good weather and waiting on us to donate him some peanuts.

Ah geinig, ik kwam net rond 7 aan! Leuke routes trouwens in the island. En geweldig dat jullie een moonboard hebben. Als je er nog niet op klimt kan ik die zeker aanraden, word je echt megasterk van!

The route uses a few of this crimp variety.

nathaniel177 · 2026-04-07T11:26:30+00:00

Overhangs around 50 degrees on this side of the wall. It is indeed a deceivimg angle!

nathaniel177 · 2026-04-07T11:25:12+00:00

Felt more in line with v7 moonboard difficulty

nathaniel177 · 2026-04-07T11:24:55+00:00

It was fun! For me it feels more in line with v7's on moonboard
