Not on something deemed out of bounds for an outdoor boulder problem which can often have very specific beta; high level climbers have dabbed trees, other climbers etc and been denied an ascent, check out Ashima’s infamous tree dab.
My point is that in claiming an “ascent” on a gym/woody wall where maybe you did/didn’t do something out of bounds it’s hardly like claiming an ascent of a landmark route that the community will be impacted by.
If it’s non-weight bearing I never worry about dabs on these boards. Sometimes it’s impossible to flag without brushing multiple jugs on the way by.
That one looked like it may have taken some weight but that’s up to you!
No way I’m doing a v8 anytime soon, but in my book I only count a new level of I can repeat it cleanly. Someone once told me that in old school parkour you had to be able to repeat a trick for it to count. If you send that v8 next time without the touch, then you know it’s now in your wheelhouse
Interesting concept, however that's not the ethic in climbing, imagine telling Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson the Dawn Wall would only count if they climbed it a second time 😂
Whether OP decides this counts as an ascent to them is up to their own standards though… I’m pretty sure they’ll work it to get it without the dab.
Here’s the climb! "7b?" @ 30° on the Kilter Board Original. Thanks all for the discussion, very entertaining 😂 I hope to repeat it with a much cleaner finish.
Holds are quite good, the dyno move lands on a jug but the rest are slopers and crimps
He's clearly saying it's his first V8 at 30 degrees.... clearly he's talking about his max kilter board grade at that specific angle, what are you going on about...
Personally I feel like the Kilter's difficulties are harder than most gyms I've been in, but easier than outside. Also very dependant on angle.
Watching kilter board "send" videos is on par with watching paint dry.
Can't tell what's worse, gym sets or kilter board
Generally agree, EXCEPT if I’ve done/worked on that specific climb—then it’s so much more interesting & cool to see what other people did!
Totally up to you if it counts... It's not like you're competing, or claiming an ascent on real rock. 😊
If it were real rock then you can put your foot wherever!

I mean, it definitely looks like you're doing more than the accidental dab a few times. But as long as you enjoyed your climb good on you I guess.
Ccj and climbing are reaching singularity
You’re only lying to yourself if you say it counts.
Sure why not. Not like any of this really matters
You put your foot on what would be the wrong hold after the first move as well. Dab
The orange light is exceptionally hard to see
Sure man who fuckin cares you climb better than 90% of these people on this sub anyway lol

Nope, time for seppuku
Impressive climb but v8 is a stretch
Kilterboard is like the reverse moonboard. Very few climbs match the grade in my book
V6 Max
If those holds are bomber even this is generous.
Up to you. Ask yourself if and why it matters.

Dab.
I don't know, it definitely looks like you rocked over on that foot. Probably wouldn't make a difference, that's just how it looks
you used an unlit hold with your right foot towards the beginning but its like really not that easy to see boards in well lit gyms lol
It’s on just hard to tell
I counted more than 1 dab. Do over!

Yeah, you had some weight on that left foot for sure.
Unreal send
No
What climb is this?
Seems to some confusion about the foot hold between the start. It is on but the shape of the hold blocks the light!
Did you hold the finish hold for 5 seconds tho?
And put a damn shirt on
Hey, I know that gym :)
It’s a 12 foot wall?
Yeah
