    You can definitely do this entire thing static. The way those volumes are, you can walk on them with no hand holds as long as you have the balance down. Once you get the first handhold and walk over to the other holds, it should be okay as long as you can hold onto crimps, but if not, the top out will be challenging.

  • @HourRomanticist
    @HourRomanticist Před 2 hodinami

    Man if I didn't think the volumes were on, I wouldn't even have tried it. Brave for doing so lol

  • @HourRomanticist
    @HourRomanticist Před 2 hodinami

    Nice job! The best advise I can give is to firstly climb the same route a LOT (This is how I went from climbing 5.7 to 5.10+ in 3 months). Warm up on the same route everyday even. Climbing a route multiple times will force you to find the best way to climb it, which is essentially workshopping technique! That said, the easiest technique to unluck is twisting on a foothold so that your knee is parallel to the wall, which will allow you to reach further with your opposing hand, and also bring your body closer to the wall so that the strain on your hands is less, because you don't have to hold your grip as strong!

  • @HourRomanticist

    Those quickdraws are so close together I'd probably only clip every other one as to not waste energy. You'd probably benefit from climbing faster as well as to not waste energy by spending more time on the wall. It's only 5.8 and seeing by how you can still grip the holds, you only really need leg strength here, which will not tire out if you climb faster. Looks like a super fun climb, I wish we had walls that high at my gym!

    • @HourRomanticist
      @HourRomanticist Před 2 hodinami

      It's him asking the person controlling his rope to tighten it down so he can sit on it without him falling. This allows him to have the rope hold him in his current position so he can rest and workout how to continue.
