    This is random but I really like the fact that Tor Johnsson took time and made sure to state that he wants to make sure the rope gets tied properly and that he takes his role in keeping someone safe seriously. I think most people would have just laughed about it and paid very little attention to it, not mentioning it. Respect the guy a lot.

Watching you climbing 8a and above with such ease having tested grips like that is nothing short of stunning. My dream is 7a right now. Mad respect for what you do and what you contribute to the scene through your videos!

    • @bernhardlangers778
      @bernhardlangers778 Před 5 lety

      You will eventually run into a plateau. The important part then is to just keep going, doing a lot of routes at that level. Mine was 6c. That was really something else initially, but by now it is either endurance or just one move that keeps me from sending on the first go. 6c+ is another beast altogether. Depends on the route a lot and generally requires a lot of finger strength. Have a couple of 7as in the book, but am yet to flash a 6c+. So just keep going and things will start to feel easier as time progresses.
      And most importantly: Don't get injured.

      @willthr336 Před 5 lety

      David Stevens how are the furia s? I was going to get them but couldn’t find them to try on in stores so I was scared about them not fitting right, do they fit a narrow foot or a broad one?

    • @chillierdavro
      @chillierdavro Před 5 lety +1

      @@willthr336 I have a fairly wide foot I'm normally a size UK 11 these news ones are UK 9 1/2
      Many climbers (myself included) dramatically downsize their aggressive climbing shoes. But with the Furia S, I think you have to be extra careful not to downsize too much. your feet and experience may differ, so I’d first and foremost recommend that you try on the Furia S to see how it works with your feet.
      I find the Furia S to be very comfortable considering how tight they are, especially for such a downturned shoe, they really hold the front part so you can climb quite well with the heel unslipped. But once completely on the rubber seems very sticky and malleable, one of the softest shoes I’ve ever worn.
      Think they are going to take 10/20 climbing sessions to break in.
      But now my old red chilli climbing shoes feel like slippery carpet slippers now in comparison.

      Sometimes not knowing the grade is a good thing. when I started leading I wasn't comfortable on anything higher than a 5.8, but I projected 5.9s, not a lack of ability, so much as just a fear of whipping, but one day my gym did a reset and they love to wait a few weeks before grading, so I hope don what I thought for sure was a 5.9 one day trying to push myself and flashed it, later they graded it as a 5.10. But it gave me the confidence I needed to really start pushing my leading harder than I was.

      @@thinkpad20 Emil is definitely an amazing climber, but I think you seriously underestimate the level of competition present at ifsc climbing events. Emil would need to do some serious competition style training if he wanted to be even slightly competitive on an international level, since being talented alone is simply not enough.
      At an estimate I'd say 80% of the people who climb in senior ifsc boulder events have bouldered v13 or harder outdoors, and almost everyone who has made finals boulders at least v14.
      Fredrik is slightly better than Emil ,and even he was only placing in the mid to lower end of the rankings out of all the competitions he participated in, and even Ondra (arguably the best climber of all time) missed finals in the boulderng world championships this year.

    Perfect videoooo, what knot variation is Eric using by the way?

      Bowline Knot. There are just 2 knots used to tie in the rope. The figure of eight and the bowline knot.
      Last one, because it is much more easy to untie, even if you fell in the rope. That's the reason for the figure of 8, because o normal overhand knot gets so tight when weighted, that you can't untie anymore.
      Bowline disadvantage: it is not as easy to check while partner check, while everybody knows a figure of eight knot and can see if it is right from far away.

    Hey Magnus, do you do any antagonist training? Because it seems you have a very good posture. Maybe you could also film it. Keep it up!
