There are so many ways to do it. I’m sure you’ll find yours when you try it next time

Oliver Stone, Celebrity Crags, Blue Mountains, Australia

@@denclimber Cool, hope I can make it there someday. Thanks

Thanks, Matt! I tried the meat wrap. Not sure if I liked it. Still early days…

Thanks, Bruno! My main problem is to get out of the cave efficiently

@denclimber I'll come and try with you soon :)

Yey!

Thanks! Oliver Stone crag in Australia

Lots of room for creativity, for sure!

Totally. And then there is a glued in side pull in the middle for connoisseurs )) Had to forget about left heel hook due to my hamstring injury…

Let’s do it again!

Not sure this is all real 🙃

Hope we can try it together one day. Nik said the runout was on jugs. He was right

​@@denclimberI miss the blueis and our weekend climbing, I'll be back at some point :)

@@denclimber on jugs?:)) seems like you are doing some full crimps on the last bit traversing right to the anchor lol

@ nah, the top traverse is all jugs. The only crimps are at the end of the lower traverse that goes left

@@denclimber I see. The route looks really cool, thanks for the video!

Thanks, man! Wait until it’s a few days without rain. The bottom crux tends to seep. And it’s not that scary at the top

Thanks mate! Yeah, this one should go

Nah mate. I shamelessly cut out all the sits

Thanks Jorge! Definitely going back there ))

Thanks, Bruno!

Thanks Irena!

@@thelifeoutdoors4952 can’t wait, mate! Binary Cave is in full sun from around 2pm 😭

Thanks man!

Thanks Marty!

Спи давай 😂

@@denclimber 😴

Thanks Jason!

Thanks Jorge!

@@climbstamina hope you are enjoying life too!

❤️

@@GymsAndCragsCasually thanks man! 151% to 159% but my plan did not focus on finger strength. The focus was on power endurance which is still my weakness

​@@denclimber above 50%, that's solid. Makes sense watching your other videos, including focus on power enduro to get 25-27s range sends.

@@GymsAndCragsCasually I actually found it hard to improve power endurance. Fingers improved naturally due to the volume of climbing. The plan attacks my power endurance via multiple angles like conditioning, aerobic exercises and board climbing. Getting there slowly

@@denclimber agree. I also struggle with power endurance on several 25-27 projects in gym. Even with somewhat perfected sequence execution, simple run out of gas close to the top section which would usually be a cruxy bolder. Reflecting on my last six months, I had good success with two things in gym - weighted double laps and Moonboard. The doubles and weighted doubles on 2-3 grades lower is my big bet for next 3-6 months to unlock capacity for 25 and above. 1/2 - weighted doubles laps on 21-23s (in gym) Doubles and triples often mentioned in training plans. I was preparing for Bunny Bucket, the 300m worth of climbing, so gave 6 weeks of solid double laps on 21-23 ranges in gym. Managed to get 5-7 double sets (so 8-12 routes mileage), then singles to get total mileage to 15ish routes. The absolute best was 20 routes on 21-23 grades. Then incrementally added weight into backpack, all the way to ridiculous 5kg! Thinking was to factor additional kilo worth of quick draws + backpack on multi, the over-prepare. Would have 2-4 double sets on weighted backpack, then drop either weight or go with doubles on body weight - whatever works. 2-3 sessions a week for 6 weeks was awesome learning - body awareness, being smart on second lap, perfecting technique and body control as added weigh won't leave much space for clumsiness. That feels like hangboard repeaters, in some sense. Added weight on doubles gave me a solid feeling of pump and somewhat power endurance on lower grades. Worked for me, surely there are better ways to handle this. I came back to 24 and 25-27 projects, they felt so much easier at body weight. 2/2 Moonboard, nothing to say here Finally got stronger and put a dedicated day every week for only Moonboard. I am on week 7 with four V4 and one V5 benchmark sends. Session is structured similar to 7/53 max hangs. So single attempt is 30/60 seconds for work/rest, 1 set is 3-4 attempts, with 3 min rest between sets. 6-8 sets depending on efforts. Saw noticeable difference on the wall after 4-6 weeks of one dedicated day of moonboarding. I recon 4-5 moves aren't enough so I might try doubles on some !easy! problems to get into power-endurance on 40 degrees rather one-hard-move-efforts. General conditioning with antagonist - all by the books (two by Eric Hurst on how to climb 5.12 and conditioning for climbing, worked well for me. Can highlight "Convict Conditioning first edition", best calisthenics book I read and incorporated into supplemental training for climbing.

@@GymsAndCragsCasually you’ll progress quickly with that approach ))

@@keyvanjaferzadeh2866 near Sydney, Australia

​@@denclimberthanks. Is it on Blue mountain? I am based in Victoria.

@@keyvanjaferzadeh2866 no it’s in Minto Heights suburb

@@MatthewG-b9l thanks mate. I will try that next time

@@thelifeoutdoors4952 awesome and atmospherical day!

@@JorgePacker when are you back?

@@denclimber believe it or not, but not even I know 😬

@@MrRadicalsheep a little bit but mostly intensely hard
