The Beauty of Tuolumne Meadows | Feat. Cathedral Peak, Tenaya Peak, and the Medlicott Boulder
Went up to Tuolumne for the first time for some rock climbing with two of my best friends and made this short film of our adventures. Got rained out on Cathedral and didn't manage to send Detached on the Medlicott Boulder but we'll be back for both.

      You can build it at 45/50 and cutting a bit of both sides top and start of the pannels. So you can do all the problems but with a half grade harder for each problem maybe

    2 questions about the crash pads, How big do you think the fall area is? The wall comes out approximately 8' in depth but do much further do you think it's possible to swing? What did you use for the mats? Did you just use an old mattress? is that thick enough/large enough? Using outdoor crash pads seems way too expensive for such a large area.

  • @ClimbAndTeach
    @ClimbAndTeach Před 2 lety

    Hey, I'm building my board in a week. Could you answer too small questions for me? 1.)Any regrets for going with vertical supports as opposed to diagonal? How often are they in the way for you? 2.)How are your hinges handling the load? I'm thinking of doing hinges too and am not sure if I should go with joist hangers instead. Do you know which hinges you bought?

    Hi from Australia! I was just wondering what specific bolts did you use (since you mentioned we should use heavy duty bolts instead of screws)? Don't bolts usually have thinner threads which would mean less penetration into the wood?

      @BlueberryAvenue Před 2 lety

      I used a free online 3D modeling software to sketch out the design and then measured the height of the vertical beams that it calculated for me to get a 40 degree angle. The exact length of the support beams will depend on multiple factors such as where you drill the holes for the bolts and how thick your horizontal beams below them are

    • @BlueberryAvenue
      @BlueberryAvenue Před 3 lety

      If you’re just purely trying to focus on finger strength, then obviously hangboarding of some kind is the most efficient, such as max hangs, but honestly these days I recommend that most people just limit boulder on a moonboard/tension board/kilterboard/overhanging spray wall instead since it’ll get your whole body strong, not just your fingers. Steep training boards also help with training full body tension and technique while being pretty damn intensive on your fingers

      The opposite actually! The first ascentionist didn’t use the no hands rest ledge that I did and gave it 13b. Most people use the rest tho which definitely makes it easier and closer to 13a

      @BlueberryAvenue Před 3 lety

      About 20 inch centers (so 6 verticals studs) but the spacing was slightly uneven to avoid the t nut grid. If you do 16 inch centers (7 studs) you’ll also have to offset some of them to avoid the t nuts but if you do 24 inch centers (5 studs), there’s no need for spacing adjustments

    FWIW, the Skwama isn't really a "soft" shoe, it's a flexible shoe with a stiff toe-box (from the plastic insert). I didn't like them when I first got them because everyone calls them "soft", but they really aren't. The Theory's are mega soft, and only gets its structure from the rubber (and maybe a very thin midsole), which is part of why they feel like such talons on steep terrain. It's a small distinction, but realizing that made me like the Skwama's more because I could actually use them for the footholds I wanted, instead of being disappointed I couldn't wrap my toe around holds like I can in a truly soft shoe (like the Theory).

  • @MJCain-ye1uo
    @MJCain-ye1uo Před 3 lety

    Awesome climbing! And climbing is climbing. Anyone can lift a finger and point out technique, those people cant lift the same fingers to get up off them and do exercise themselves. My advice don't listen to everyone because everyone will give you bad advice. Listen to people you trust and who only make you better at everything you do, if they don't, don't give them your time. Only you make the value of what your time is worth.

  • @nicjcorn
    @nicjcorn Před 3 lety

    I think the foot thing is actually a couple things that come together to make the move easy. Fundamentally it's a balance thing, but having it flagged lets you create more torque naturally into the foot hold, so when you go for the move, the pull from the right hand bring your weight closer into the wall, and more onto your foot, instead of spinning you off and away from the wall, which is what usually happens. Theoretically, you could do the same move with the foot close if you thought about "rolling up" into the move, but flagging wide just makes it more natural, and more balanced. It also makes engaging the glutes and posterior chain easier, and those are the fundamental muscles needed to keep body tension through a far toe.
