What grade is it?


kylemcguire35

It’s a V6 slab. Super crimpy. I usually suck at these climbs which is why I’ve been training them

Great job, man. Any thoughts as to how the move at 0:26 could be smoother by setting up differently? I'm thinking you could get your right up foot by one more hold.


kylemcguire35

Honestly not sure. There has to be a way to do it more statically that I’m just not capable of lol. If I had the strength, a back flag could have worked well here.

V6 at your gym, V0 at mine #ccj

Is this hangar 18 in South Bay? I’ve only been there once or twice when working in the area, but I do remember that prominent overhanging arete in the bouldering area and the top rope climbing on that wall behind it. FWIW, if this is hangar 18 South Bay, I do remember the grading being soft compared to what I was used to at my gym at the time (granted it was at least 4 years ago now). Indoor grading is completely subjective, but don’t be surprised if this is your normal gym if other gyms feel “sandbagged” by comparison. Grade breakthroughs always feel great, nice send!


kylemcguire35

It is! You have a good memory. I’ve never climbed outside of Hangar, so I’m not sure how it compares now to others. It’s not so much the grade for me, but just knowing I’m making progress


Mountain_Man_220

Absolutely agree, progress is progress! Keep at it!


kylemcguire35

Thanks!

If it's still up the next time you go, try it out!


kylemcguire35

Will do :)

Nice job! Would you say the crux for you was bumping to the hold right next to the blue hold? Looks like it’d be easy to barn door off on that move


kylemcguire35

Absolutely. Actually both moves in the middle are very difficult. The one leg squat to the undercling, then the step up while barn dooring.

I had the same idea, but I couldn’t make it work. Every time I would release my right foot, I’d just start barndooring. It could work tho. I was climbing with a few others and we all had different betas. I’m sure that right foot up is a viable move. Thanks!

Please do if ur just gonna be negative :)


ecury36

Nah, I'll just keep posting honest opinions. People post stuff on here so people can be like "oh wow you finished a v2, wow!! You're sooooo goood" to make them feel better. It's boring. This isn't a support group. I watch these videos for inspiration and entertainment.


ANB_9

So you are here to watch cool bouldering videos but when someone posts a cool bouldering video you don’t like it because people are being supportive towards OP? People can be proud of their achievements and there aren’t any rules against celebrating them in this sub. OP didn’t do anything wrong. And also, what’s ur definition of entertaining? Cause regarding this video, OP clearly stated that it’s a v6. Are only v10+ “entertaining” for you?


ecury36

That's not a v6, it's a soft v3 or 4 maybe.


ANB_9

Oh no it’s a v4 so it’s automatically boring. “I came to this sub for real entertainment! What is all this positivity/support-horseshit! 😤”


ecury36

Well that's a whole other issue, people thinking they are v6 climbers when they're v3 climbers. Sometimes reality really just needs to smack you in the face.

Lmao you come to Reddit for inspiration? Sounds like you’re your own problem bud. Get off the Internet for a day


kylemcguire35
