5:29 "I guess I can show how a mortal looks like on it" - said a guy who does +35kg 20mm one arm hang (which I could barely hang for 4 sec one time one side in a weird position after 8 years of hard training). He sure isn't a mere mortal (iirc correct he doesn't climb that long, and +35kg on that crimp is like 8b-8c grip strength, isn't it?).
Considering that just hanging that edge at bodyweight 5+ seconds is well known as V10 finger strenght benchmark, doing so with close to +50% BW is pretty insane indeed. Seems like Micky has strong enough fingers in this very specific direction of force applied to climb almost any boulder problem in the world if that were the only requirement ;)
Seeing Nikken first trying the moves in isolation and cruising it and then trying the full thing and struggling really makes you appreciate how hard it must be to climb 8C boulders + an 8A-ish sit start, such as Soudain Seul
ik legs are kinda forgotten about but i would love to see how nikken and mikey train there legs for climbing, because having strongs legs makes everything easier
Exactly! That is just crazy!. I think they mentioned 3 years when he fist appeared, so it is probably about 4 now. It is very very rare that someone starting as an adult reaches this level of strength. Exeptional. I could hang 30 kg- after 4 years with two arms and i am proud of that xd.
