what is your opinion on the following: competition style and new moves make the barrier of entry to competition climbing undeniably very high and dilutes the total amount of talent entering the sport at high level competition. For example, the amount of space, holds, and expertise in route setting is simply not available to the vast vast vast majority of people who climb. If you aren't from a major metro area with access to world class multi multi million dollar gyms (which don't exist outside of the USA and rich european countries, and some rich asian metropolis areas) you really don't have much of a chance. Many of these problems cost close to 10 thousand USD to set and take up huge amount of gym space. You constantly see success from the same names on the same teams who train in the same gyms/areas. If you're not geographically located close to these facilities good luck learning the new hot movement. Before competition style and new moves took over in the early-mid 2010's it was possible to learn climbing from simple homewalls and poor areas could have access to just a 10ft by 10ft board which can get you to the v13+ level and beyond. The high level of competition now are completely dominated by who has access who which level of facility. If you don't have a huge variety of problems set mimicking world-cup setting it's really not possible to reach any success in the world cups, which was not the case before, for example daniel woods, malcolm smith, etc, could win by focusing on outdoor or basic board style gym climbing style which have extremely low barriers of entry available to essentally anyone who can access some plywood. In my opinion it makes the sport overall less accessible and especially favours rich countries with massive resources even more than sports already do.

We have some amazing rock climbers in utah, Brooke is one hell of a female climber. I've actually seen her at a few places in Utah before.

Love these videos and your setting videos! Looking forward to more

Why do you have spotters in indoor bouldering?

Great sequence. Was very spectacular high on the lead wall for Mia Krampl & Janja in the World Cup last year. Super happy to have done an easier version (V4) at my local gym.

v10 in my gym

Only dynamic stuff :( Id like to see also static moves in the top list. Always dynamic is also boring...

So good

i would love it if you also talked about the wall angle!

Sick flow

My toxic trait is falsely thinking I could do some of these 😂

A route setting channel? Let's subscribe and binge watch!

Mix that with parkour

Cool ad.

Camera angle is so annoying

What’s the ladder you’re using there? Any idea what it’s called?

Should be mentioned that the hand match was intended to be impossible by the setters

V1 in my gym

excelent content, specially for us route-setters! One question (or maybe several), when setting boulders like this, where the arm span can be a critical factor, how do you take it into account? When setting these forced dynamic moves, do you guys have/set limits for distance between holds for example?

I am an incredibly mediocre climber who struggles on v4s and can occasionally do v5s, but these people have inspired me to try my hardest to reach their level one day. I’m making progress as well, and climbing is all I think about now besides Elden Ring

What is the wall angle here?

On non easy boulders, do you think it's sometimes beneficial to have a very cruxy problem? Or do you always try to keep the difficulty as consistent as possible across moves?

I absolutely loved it. Sure, the parkour style, paddles and laches are sexy, but this is the real stuff

The wall should always have the right to refuse you. Brooke rabatou can always refuse first.

this is incredible

Adam Ondra's pinwheel of doom

What the hell

Must be really tricky to spot the subtleties that the original setters were playing with when replicating these blocs.

Love your vids

They tried to make the same wall as the first video but they both so different they definitely not the same

Holy the crumbling rock 🫣

Spirit friends... 😍👍💪💪💪

Very nice..

I judged a comp and was in charge of a slab boulder. Brooke flashed it, turned out to be a v12. I couldnt even start it. Shes a goddess. All of the competitors were, especially puccio.

I love crimps

Absolutely awesome.

older school, best school; I guess 1 out of 4 boulders can be a crowd pleaser as a compromise hehe.

I like the boulder, but I really don't like the music you put over the video.

seen all types of font videos... from the music to filming to the choice of problems this is probably the best ever... left me psyched beyond my mind at home! also most of the problems are from the lesser known sectors (at least for me) so even better!

This is absolute quality. Top notch content from start to finish! I dream of visiting Font, thank you for the upload and insight!

Nice vid! This gets me psyched to get into bouldering, would really help having a strong boulderer to go with 🙂

Hey guys, any idea when the online course is going up?

this makes me want to go back so bad. Amazing video.

So good! More of these please, music, bloc selection, pysche. 👍 Big fan of this kind of content 🔥

really nice to see easier boulders with a more interesting feel

awesome!!

6:53 Lee Dohyun's top of this boulder is the one that has always stuck in my mind. IIRC, he was the first one to actually get stood up on those volumes, and his subsequent excitement when he topped it just made it even more memorable for me.
