  • This boulder problem is impossible, except when you use these climbing tactics...which is climb the boulder problem together. It's like doubles in tennis...but climbing
    Wide Boyz Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker, show what the future of competition climbing could look like. Find an Adam Ondra on your Left and Shauna Coxey on your right and throw and swing them across the wall to reach unreachable climbing holds.

  • @jozefvesely6913
    @jozefvesely6913 Před 3 lety +45

    Hey, from my experience with "czech style" it is better if top climber climbs on the supporting climber that stays static and well braced. In much of your attempts support tries to raise the top climber and looses stability. Static support enables also multi level people towers. In real climbing you use harness loops (both leg and waist) as steps.

      You should also try two-man-chimney as classic example of a problem impossible for a single person. Either braced back to back or hands against the shoulders of the other with feet on the opposing sides of suitably wide chimney. facebook.com/stenaholesovice/photos/a.2058195927760488/2058196081093806 drive.google.com/file/d/0B5S-mXfbg0VBcUFBa0RKcnNKVzg

    This looked like a barrel of fun, would love to try this! Someone suggested a series of these with guest partnerships - sounds like a great idea if you can keep setting them. Maybe a problem where it's doable with one but with two people it's not possible because they take up the necessary space so they provide the second person's access to another part of the route?
