39th Birthday Challenge - 2016 Moonboard

Getting old again. Turned 39, so I did another birthday challenge. The challenge: birthday themed problems, three v9 benchmarks, and ranking in the top 100 of the USA moonboard rankings.

Happy belated Alan!! i just started playing with the moonboard (2019) and its rough. So glad i came across your channel, it's been super helpful. keep up the good work!!

[@AlanHauser]

Thanks! Yeah my first few weeks on the moonboard were rough, I seriously thought about rebuilding it to 25 degrees. But stick with it and your body will adapt.

Happy birthday to you!!! Nice session. Next year you can do 4x v0’s... so that’ll be nice 🤣

[@AlanHauser]

That will be a relief.

Awesome setup! Whereabouts are you based? The garage is massive!

[@AlanHauser]

I'm in Los Angeles. The garage is for a duplex so there are actually 4 spots + where I built the climbing stuff.

[@themartinlozano]

Amazing! How long have you been climbing for?

[@AlanHauser]

Started when I was 21. So... 18 years at this point.

[@oliviercourtens5540]

I totally thought you were like 32

[@AlanHauser]

I wish I was... Have so much longer recovery time these days between sessions.
