18:40 you know, sometimes when Louis climbs, I can't tell if I am watching a slow-mo or at normal speed. I aspire to that kind of composure to spend that much time to get the feet exactly where they need to be.
I'm sure he has great technique, but it's hard for me to look past the super strength lol, his whole body looks so relaxed while grabbing onto crappy holds
13:32 the sound of someone pulling strong Edit: no it was the drills behind him, but we all enjoy that sound when you're pulling so hard the boards creek
the lady who walks in at 0:26.... i believe that's alot of us after failing on our project yet again. ALLEZ! also, wondering how tall louis is? just curious and to gauge where id reach on these boulders.
He's about 5'7 but has an ape index of like... +4/5 if i remember correctly (might be wrong, but it's deffo high). That's why he looks about 6 foot in his videos and has the reach of someone who is, lol
@@AliceChengakaTheGreatCyanide thanks for the info!! just found it comical the way she flopped down haha. she probably just came down frm something really tough 🦾🦾🦾
Louis Parkinson and the mystery of the magically appearing second camera angle ;) Great video, and thanks for down climbing very happy you're giving the right example!!
you're gonna need to start putting the grade of the current boulder in the corner of the video because you make everything look effortless and I end up thinking I could do it no problem 😂
okay so can someone tell me what is the difference between those "Comp" boulders and the normal ones ? Because in a previous video Louis said that "comp" boulders nowadays require a lot of dynamic moves jumps etc. and not all in this vid are dynamic and jumpy
There's technically no difference , just different style of setting , I think usually comp style uses bigger/flashier holds/volumes, and like you said more acrobatic moves
Comp climbing generally refers to moves that aren't necessarily "difficult" but more "low percentage" Basically, it's easy to have the *required* strength to do it, but even if you're strong enough there's a chance it doesn't stick, and the stronger you are just reduces that chance but its always a pretty decent chance you don't stick it And like a commenter above said, generally when people are talking about comp style they mean world cup/IFSC, not necessarily any climbing comp as gyms will have their own setting team that might not like the IFSC style
So I'm wondering what these would be in V grades? It's so hard to tell especially with someone like Louis making it look easy but...to me it looks like 1-10 is V2-V4, 11-20 is V5-V7, 21 is where V7/8 and harder starts? anyone have any input on that? I'm just trying to get an idea of how hard these are?
Yonder does post their grades on the griptonite app. They usually are in ascending order as Louis mentions in the video, even though in this reset they are a few exceptions to that (at least based on griptonite). But anyway grades are a bit of a ballpark game especially with those comp walls. Based on the app: 4-6 are V2 7-9 are V3 10-12 are V4 13, 14 and 16 are V5 15, 17 and 19 are V6. 18 and 20 are V7 21 and 22 are V8 23 is V9 I haven't tried any of the harder climbs, but I can attest number 13 is very hard, that's when those climbs get proper hard for me.
Having tried the boulders I'd say you're actually pretty spot on with your guesses. 21 is around v7/8, 22 is around v8/9 and 23 is v9ish and the easier problems are as you stated.
