I was actually here a couple of weeks ago (my home gym is Arlington Heights)! Crazy climb which I thought was a dyno but who knew drop knees could be so useful! Did you end up full sending it yet?
If you check on Kaya it is a 2 hold start, you had the right idea. Where you put your right hand is where the other start tag was. The second start tag did indeed fall off. Absolutely crazy you skipped those two holds to the right at the top. Took me a bunch of tries even when using them. Great send!
One tip my coach gave me a few weeks ago was make sure you’re fully committed and have decided where you want your foot to be placed. Watch it all the way onto the hold and don’t look away until you’re certain you want it there. Helps you trust your feet a lot more and make sure you’re stood on the best part of the hold. Really helped me! Hope it helps you too 💪
Hot take “muscle memory” is tendon strength in n disguise. And you’re right. Time is what works to grow/strengthen that tissue !!! Bonus points. Tendons don’t degrade the same way muscles do so that strength once built will always (potentially) be there !!
Its good to train in between too. Keep in mind that even if bouldering is a workout you still need to train to strengthen important muscle groups so you can achieve more later on.
It definitely isn’t a V4 looks more like a V2. I know grading in the US is quite generous and the grading in the UK is quite sandbagged so maybe meet in the middle with a soft V3? 😂 The move coming across from left to right is really cool, pulling on the gaston is harder than it looks and the dodgy feet is good practice for the more compy boulders! Overall really nice climb teaching you a few things before you move up the grades. Exactly what a V2/3 should do 💪
@@blindgeorged6386 I'm just letting people know what it's graded as in that gym. But, you are free to have your opinion on what you think its rated, even without ever touching the holds.
I’m just letting people know my opinion on the boulder. Thanks for your reply and letting us know that you were posting the grade even though I can see it with my eyes. I’m just letting you know that I was giving my opinion on the grade, the moves and the things you learn in the cool climb. No point grading something V4 when it’s not. If I wanted to be critical I’d have shit on the climbing not the grading 😂
@@blindgeorged6386 all holds but the last one are way too bad for a V2 (I think they are not only pretty shallow, but also apart from the third croissaint, slopey). Judging from the video, I'd agree on V4. Perhaps it could pass as a V3, but then it would be on the top end.
