Yeah, it did feel a bit soft for a 6a+, more of a 6a I guess

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks a lot! This was part of the competition climbs, so I was extra motivated.

Yes, I agree. Once you know what to do it becomes way easier. I really liked this one.

Thank you so much! This was very nice climb indeed!

Haha, my bad! It looked white from the top😅 must have been loads of chalk

Thanks! I think I've managed to be more efficient with it.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Kev! There are some really good ones for the second round of competition! I'm there tomorrow morning if you wanna check some out!

I am off to Bond tomorrow morning as I have some more routes in the 7s that I would like to try .....hope it went well today!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! This was quite hard route as well. The holds weren't bad but with the slight overhang wall it was really challenging to stay on the wall!

Thanks for watching!

Aye, I don't think it was the problem here, it was just far move and quite an overhand to go through. Well, we've moved on now to next round of climbs for the competition

Thanks man! That was really a big struggle to get that point

Thanks, will do!

Thanks! This competition we had a lot of routes requiring compression on the overhang with holding onto the under cling. My back was not happy about sending those in succession 😅

Thank you! Except the last one right? 😁😁

I am! Thanks man!

Me too, I really thought I'm gonna fall there 😅

It was, I was never able to get it. I wish the boulder was still there to try it more but it's gone now.

I really like climbing and wanna get the best I can be! Yes, I do not think I use enough of the techniques you mentioned. I do bouldering as a form of power training but recently the lead competition is taking all the time we have in the gym! Thanks!

The gym rules does not say anything about clipping two anchors as far as I'm aware. Obviously they are provided and both should be used as a good practice. Hahah, yeah, if I don't feel like I wanna push hard then I would just grab the other holds instead of taking a fall. Having said that, not that we started a lead series competition we are trying really hard to get more points so there will be more falls and pushing out of the comfort zone! Thanks for watching!

Keep it up and get better every week forever!

We think it was close to between 5.10b and 5.10c but I would need to climb it again to confirm, I'm not sure I was reading it right.

@@BetterEveryWeekForever 5.10b/c feels right

@@BetterEveryWeekForever I've never seen your content, keep it going dude!

Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I think so! It wasn't too difficult but definitely level above 6a

Haha, thanks mate! Let's keep it up and get to the finals!

Yeah, it gets us all sometimes 😅

Thanks !

Nope, I don't think so

@@BetterEveryWeekForeveryeah no I know haha I was JK he really looks like him though hahaha

Ah so that's what that was! I was thinking to myself I need to train clipping in awkward positions, this seems to happen often recently for me

@@BetterEveryWeekForever It took (and still takes) me a good bit of convincing to not clip as soon as I can physically reach the next quickdraw, but rather when I have a nice stable position. The (quite logical) advice I got myself is, it's perfectly fine and safe to clip just at hip height - since any point earlier you'll just take out more slack, and should you fall while clipping above you, you're gonna actually fall farther than if you'd just climbed on for 1 or 2 more moves. Just very conciously hammering that into my head and clipping "late" on easy routes at least got me farther in that habit. I hope you don't mind advice from someone who can just about onsight 5b and still is very scared about lead climbing any old 6a or higher. 😅

Thanks, I appreciate all advice! This is in fact what I am trying to do and say to myself on some easier climbs (if I remember about it) and then as soon as the difficulty increases, it's hard to listen to the right voice in my head 😅. We've done some fall practice before to unlock the psyche and get rid of the fear of falling but yeah the clipping timing is still something I need to remember to practice more. Stay strong and safe!

What's wrong with the music? Yes, the climbing starts at 1:50 😁

@@BetterEveryWeekForever Such a close send, now I want a follow up of you sending it! I think hey mean that the music might be too loud, I don't really have a opinion, I'm just observing. Hope you can resend this and complete it!

​@snorly1584 I will have to do it again. This time full send 💪

I'm not sure they are alpha sports, they do look like them, but are attached with quick links instead.

Thanks! I think I was just not trusting my left hand 😅 What's 5.9 in French scale? I always get lost with YDS

Aren't they redundant when you have two of them opposite and opposed? Or do you mean they are only attached to one anchor point? I would prefer a locking one for top roping but we were not planning on doing that in any case.

@@BetterEveryWeekForever they’re both attached to only one point of the metal hanger. There should 2 permadraws hanging from each attachment.

Ah ok, I see what you mean. Arguably, we should be attached to two different metal hangers to be truly redundant. 😁

@@BetterEveryWeekForever What’s the name of this gym? I’m looking at the top ropes and they’re just through a single quick link 😱

​@tracecarrasco3872 it's big rock bond, the best gym!

Thanks for pushing me to try it again!

Thanks! This was my second attempt so not a flash. Keep working on it and surely you'll send it! Stay strong and safe!

Thanks so much! Stay strong 💪

Thanks! These footholds are treacherous!

Thanks man! For the tips as well 😊

Thanks! I appreciate it! Trying to be better every week forever 😁

What do you mean? Thanks for watching!

I absolutely agree! Where have you been?

These designate zone holds for which you get points in competitions.

It's Big Rock 💪

@@BetterEveryWeekForever ah it is the one i went to, such a nice place

@@Teirei my favourite climbing gym 😁

I've done max 103 so far 💪💪

I don't think we have used ohm at all actually

I absolutely agree with you!

I don't know what you mean by that, but thanks for watching!
