I remember when Colbey first came into the gym and I saw how crazy strong he was out of the gate but his feet cut every move, lol. Watching his technique really get dialed has been fun to watch. It's great to see him really take it to the next level. Great attitude and that hair!
My friend got outdoor v12 in a year of climbing. I think genetics definitely play a role but so much comes down to body awareness and technique on the wall
I enjoyed this thoroughly. Somehow usually when people talk about barriers and/or being stuck on a grade it doesn't stick for me, but something about the way Colbey spoke got through to me. Maybe it's just me, but either way - thanks. Hope to see some more 2024 Moonboard videos, Miguel 😆.
Your intro on this video was mad good, Miguel! And of course the rest of it too 😂 But the first 30 seconds really reeled me in! Loved the climbing and tips from Colbey… and how great that he discovered climbing thanks to a Groupon 😆 Hadn’t heard the word Groupon since college days 😁
I remember when Colbey started climbing...It was really great to be that person he wished he could catch up to for 3 whole weeks. **edit** aww i got a shoutout 🥲
He is basically a young adult climber if he started at 18. haha but crazy development and that’s def not easy by any means and good attitude and recognition of his strength / weaknesses ! Excited to see what he got in store in the future
There are levels to crazy. V12 in 4 year without training off the wall is 6/10 crazy. Not knowing who tf Magnus is 4 years into climbing in 2024 while being able to send V12 is 9/10 crazy.
IMO finger strength matters even more for tall climbers. You really need that extra security when your getting into small boxes to drop knees or high foot.
@@MiguelClimbs kinda explains why those intermediate grades seem to hit tall people really hard. You progress fast into the V4-V6 range but then the fingers aren't there yet.
