We get Alex Waterhouse (who is also pretty handy on the cracks) to set us IFSC World Cup standard boulder problems that incorporate cracks. Alex was only 1 of few who managed to top the Men's Semi Final crack in Salt Lake City so has a good idea on the standard.
We then do international comp rules and get 4 minutes to try and complete the problem
Problem 1 is a sample of the standard of crack climbing within current World Cups circuit at the moment.
Problem 2 is an example of where Alex would like to see crack climbing go in the future, on the international circuit
Massive thanks to Alex Waterhouse for joining us for this episode, you can find him on Instagram here @waterhouseclimb

@AndyGumpster 2 года назад

Yeah, a version of this video with Jakob setting a world cup problem in his style, with a wideboyz counter would be rad as heck.

I don't know how you'd do it with COVID now, but I love to see you guys have fun with some older American crack climbers like Alex Honnold, Tommy Caldwell, Timmy O'Neal, Ceder Wright, etc. Maybe you could compete in a sufferfest big endurance race, or just on some hard cracks.

That first Boulder is just phenomenal to watch you all fight through. And the second was just beautiful art.

@kyukyu5982 2 года назад

As a non climber I watch these videos of you guys doing these very challenging climbs and my brain just can't compute how you're able to all of a sudden be moving up the wall when you where only a moment ago like fucking upside down with your head between your legs lol. It's really so impressive just how much knowledge you guys have about the body and how to manipulate it in order to get up these walls!! Mad respect!!

@nicholasyouds3142 2 года назад

Pete's cracking knees on the start of problem one were not cracks I was hoping for. Hope your knees are ok! 😂

@rayft1422 2 года назад

Brilliant Guys !! as always a pleasure to watch you ALL !! Alex, I am Impressed. Awesome setting ! Pete, You are just a beast !! Tom, with me being "slightly" out of my prime, I seriously feel your frustration. I hope you continued after the camera turned off... Awesome attempts !! 5 Stars for all three !!

@juanjohnsonfoncea5956 2 года назад

Hi, in the local gym where i am from we are thinking of creating a climbing competition for the people and we are running out of ideas. We want it to be cool and fun and the main objective is that it has to be doable for everyone, either to a first week begginer to a 7b boulderer. In other words, a fun comp that involves climbing but avoiding "the harder the better". So, could you think of fun tasks to include in a climbing comp, like climbing a boulder in pairs hand to hand or somethings like that? I really think it would be so funny and interesting at the same time. Also it might help smaller climbing gyms to create bigger communities and hold them over time. Huge thanks, big fan!!
