B-Pump Akihabara | I Got Humbled | Rock Climbing in Japan

B-Pump Akihabara is this amazing gym just minutes away from Akihabara and Ochanomizu Station. Great shop and great space. The gym is super clean and there was a pretty tight community with everyone being respectful about the rules to the bouldering gym. The routes set were super challenging but apparently climbing in Japan is just more difficult than in the US.

make sure when editing audio you put it on stereo, my right ear was very lonely this video :(

[@tiengraphics]

Thanks!!! It was my first time using that mic loll

[@nc622x]

Fantastic audio quality on the left side bro

[@tiengraphics]

Yep my fault, I saw it but didn't test it, I should've duped the channels

[@RossPotts]

Did I hear CRG?? As in Central Rock Gym?? Nice…
As far out of my league I have been finding descriptions of BPump Akihabara, I think I still want to try it out. I’m visiting in June this year.

[@tiengraphics]

You have to try it! It's a humble experience, recently I found out it's one of the hardest gym in the world and not the softest in Japan.

[@RossPotts]

@@tiengraphics yeah, I’m hoping to get some insight to working on technique…

[@tiengraphics]

@@RossPotts I’m really bad at teaching techniques but maybe I can make some videos on how I do some climbs lol

[@connorjeurissen]

I visited this gym this summer! It was truly amazing, a lot of strong climbers!

[@hanoo6982]

I visited the gym around a similar time when I was in Tokyo. I can see the climbs I was projecting! Ah, good times :)

Grading at B Pump seems super out of sync with what I'm used to with V grades. There's no way red would be V1 at my home gym, closer to V3 or 4. That being said, the setting here is awesome. So many creative routes set super regularly! Still haven't gotten that pink dyno. Making the next move after the jump is crazy hard

[@tiengraphics]

It definitely difficult! I was so glad I got to give it a go, completely different from how climbing in the states is like

[@junyuzhang414]

Yea def felt the same way it’s just their style lol n a lot of use of hips , heel hooks bc Japanese climbers r a bit shorter n more flowy. I would rec not doing so much warm up on easy ones n warm up something closer to ur grade to not tire ur self out too much but otherwise great vid !
