      Climbing sloth style is very cerebral. You have to really have your mind in your body the whole time feeling each hold, each position, each shift, and choreographing it all together so it looks effortless as smooth. I think this is the epitome of “style”.🙏💪

    I think Jonathan's strenght would be his balance and feet accuracy, he's an incredible slab climber and that kind of routes usually require that kind of slow tempo... I think readjusting holds in a slab is something "common" (as those microcrimps are hard to hit precisely and you have to hold them perfectly to pull your body up) but readjusting on big jugs as in 100 Proof means lack of precission/confidence/power... in fact, in La Sportiva's video "Confort Zone" Jonathan himself says big overhangs with good holds are his weakness... On the other side, you can't compare slabby outdoors redpoints with competition style onsights, the way of climbing has to be different no matter what you prefer...
    Anyway, nice video, it's always a pleasure to see Jonathan in action :)

    • @ascentionism

    Hi! Really cool to see people investing time into climbing content! Keep up the good work! As many stuff you said about climbing technique are true in general, I think you tried to apply them in the wrong examples many times. Also, the video doesn't have any structure, instead of repeating the footage, you could add some text, breaks, chapters, themes, topics (that could be used in every video in order to be able to compare between climbers). I rather see a shorter video than seeing a good footage in loops 3-4 times. For now, in my opinion, and without disrespect, I feel like I've heard a beginner climber talk about and repeating stuff he doesn't truly understand for 10+ minutes. I'm sure pro climbers, except for those who are already asked a lot, would be very pleased to answer to your questions in order to create their profile on your channel. You would probably have mentioned more than once the importance that Jonathan Siegrist puts into finger strength if you had asked him. As I said, keep up the good work, there's a lot of room for you on CZcams! Peace

    Climbing efficiently is just like the rest of climbing, there are no hard rules. Sometimes it requires smooth technique with lots of feet and sometimes you cut feet and quickly blast through a couple campus moves.

    great video but i gotta disagree. Jonathan siegrist is an absolute beast but when he readjusts his hands and feet i believe that this is not a strength of patience but actually one of his biggest weaknesses. Readjusting hands is almost always a sign of bad technique, and more so that he just doesn’t have the beta memorized and has to waste energy getting the hold right. for example Adam ondra spends alot of time memorizing intensely on the floor so that he doesn’t need to readjust and can climb quickly. love the video analysis is one of the most interesting parts of climbing, and jonathan is a big inspiration. looking forward to the next video : )

    • @jessebclimbs
      @jessebclimbs Před 3 lety +5

      Those hand readjustments are all on limestone routes. There are a lot of different kinds of limestone, but pockety limestone, and super textured limestone both require a lot of readjustments to get the holds perfectly, as compared to a place like Ceuse where the holds are more like uniform scoops, or Oliana to a lesser degree.
      Speaking from personal experience, the difference between the number of readjustments needed on that type of limestone, vs on sandstone or granite is night and day. It's not a weakness, it's adapting to the demands of the route.

    • @ascentionism
      @ascentionism  Před 3 lety +4

      Great point! You're totally right that moving slowly does burn more energy than necessary. I actually have an entire video on Ondra for that exact reason. What's insane about him is that he moves quickly AND efficiently - he gets the best parts of both Siegrist's method (getting a hand in the right place) and the 'speedrun' method of not spending lots of time on each hold.
      You're right - doing what Ondra does is definitely preferable to what Siegrist does. There's only one Adam Ondra, though, so I didn't want to hold everyone to the standard of the (maybe) GOAT.

    One thing I've always wondered about Siegrist, he's obviously a world-class climber but you never really hear about him onsighting anything - whereas all the other guys/gals who've climbed 15b and up onsight 13d on the regular, many of them have onsighted 14b and a few have onsighted 14d. It seems like his onsight level is pretty far below that. Why is that?

      @ascentionism  Před 3 lety +4

      Hey, thanks for the comment! I used indoor videos for a couple of reasons:
      1. It's so much easier to find. There are very limited videos of Tomoa or Janja climbing outdoors, and I've been banned from using any footage of Adam.
      2. Some indoor climbers still climb slowly. If you watch a video of Kim Jain competition climbing, she goes at a very similar pace to Jonathan, so I don't think it's necessarily true to say that all indoor climbers go slowly.
      The point I was trying to illustrate was more about the movement styles - sacrificing the 'right' move for speed, which is what a lot of climbers do. Totally fair of you to think that the comparison doesn't work because they're indoor videos, I just wanted to highlight why I chose them!
