climbing on my new home wall! (⚠️lonely alert ⚠️)

hellOOOO everyone! i hope you're all doing your best to stay safe out there! how have you been doing? have climbing gyms in your area opened yet?
adjusting to the home wall has been an interesting process - i've learned that setting is not an inherent skill that you have once you've been climbing for a couple of years... i'm really, REALLY bad at it! but i'm going to move some of these holds around and maybe try to come up with some bangers for the future :~)

My dad built me a wall too! Love your vids! I'm a climber too, I started about 5 years ago and I'm 11 now! ❤️👍😀🧗‍♀️

Just remember that problems are set 3-7 times and constantly adjusted until the setter feels that it is perfect or close to how they invisioned it don't give up you'll get better at it

[@charlotteutschig2010]

I think most of us stuck at home are dying for climbing content! So we'd love to see more of your home wall! It's not a flex Also I like these little chats! I like that they're "optional" but I always stick around because it's nice to learn more about you beyond just your climbing. You speak very real-ly and somehow it feels personal, which is nice. We're all a little lonely these days.

[@CrossoverGenius]

Liam from vertical thoughts is posting pictures of his wall on instagram & having people submit routes (they draw on the picture & send it back). That might be fun if you’ve hit a wall w setting (pun absolutely intended).

[@nzd3742]

I've seen a couple of people using the Stokt app to do this.

[@brianswanickeverythingswan]

Everyone I know just feels weird, so you might feel lonely but you're definitely not alone. We've definitely caught up on some of your old vids during quarantine so you're very much appreciated...especially as we've begun to plan our first outdoor trip in a few months. (Tenatative trip, of course.)

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Just kinda binge watched a ton of your videos 😂 you’re frikkin hilarious! I feel you with the quarantine situation- I decided to post the home wall videos I edited on my channel and it definitely felt like a flex, but in the end people have really appreciated it. I think it’s really nice to have a climbing related escape from the very real, very serious, very ubiquitous covid19 pandemic. Looking forward to watching more of your vids!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Here and READY. The home wall looks amazing! Hope you’ve been enjoying it! 😎😎😎

[@JenniferLangen]

GAHHH thanks hannah!! i've been enjoying it, my fingers though?? not so much!!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Jenn Sends feel that! we’ve been able to climb outside a couple of times in the last couple of weeks and I think every fingertip is split! 😳

[@rockentry]

OMG Jenn your wall!! I freaking love it!

[@bossclimbs]

your videos are so strangely engaging haha. inspired me to build a wall and make a vid of my own :D :D :D cant wait for rona to end so you can post more outdoor vids!

[@CourtneyWarren]

Honestly the little chat was great! We’re all is this super weird phase and figuring out various ways to get through it.

[@kaiwenhuang9105]

I don't have a home wall and gyms are still on lockdown. Gonna take quite awhile more before it opens here. But watching you climb, have fun, flop around, brings my headspace to almost feel like I'm sitting on the mat and cheering friends climbing. So keep posting!

[@ivybennett773]

I feel you on that purple hold that slipped!!! Our home wall is littered with toes that absolutely REFUSE to stay still. Also, feel you on the science, science for ever and also ever :)

[@billwhipple9039]

You can definitely drill screw holes in that hold. Put a T nut in your work surface and anchor the hold before drilling. Countersink your hole before you screw it. Ask your roommates if any of this doesn't make sense Get some colored gaffers tape (duct tape will work but leaves behind residue) so you can mark out alternate or mixed-color routes That wall could definitely use 2 or 3 volumes. There are a few types that are easy enough for a novice woodworker to build and would make for interesting videos. I'm thinking 2 different size triangles and a mis-shaped rectangle. Less than a full sheet of plywood, wood glue, screws. Watch Climber Dad's videos on building volumes and in one he brings up a small yellow tool. It's an angle finder or square or some such thing. I found it absolutely priceless while building volumes. It costs a dollar or two at Harbor Freight. The triangle volumes are so easy you don't even need it though. A learning experience for you and your viewers. It would be neat to see your wall have more dimension, plus they make the wall more fun Also, agreed. I used more math and trig building climbing walls and volumes than I have anything else

[@ambervanvliet4122]

I am not subscribed really long to your channel. I think the first video I saw was about the climbing shoes. It is really helpful and inspiring to me to see another climber just dealing her own way with the crisis and with the impossibility of climbing in the gym right now. I think your home wall is amazing! The fact that you have one is really lucky ofcourse :) The routes look great already! I can't imagine building my own routes haha, it would end up in being a mess. I liked that you talked to us as if we sat right next to you. The reality of you and your videos is really calming. I don't know if this comment made sense, but I just want you to know that you are awesome and inspiring and that you should do whatever you want and don't feel the pressure from the outside world. You are perfect just the way you are! Can't wait to climb again!

[@leonolium]

I always wanna give Jenn advice and tell her not to worry what people think so much... but I also think it's the fact that she considers how her videos might impact her viewers that make her so down to earth, so I never say anything... it shows she has a level of empathy for her audience most youtubers seem to lack. And if you're reading this Jenn, the little bit at the end was the best part - it was like catching up with an old friend :)

[@TS-ws8mh]

Thank you for sharing your home wall, I don't see it as flexing at all, I'm just glad to be able to still receive new videos from you despite gyms being closed. I think this just shows your dedication to the sport. Sending you big love and appreciation from Singapore!

[@MisnomeredHandle]

Hi Jen, try not to worry about if your sets are good or not! If you enjoy climbing the route, then I'd say it's good, if not good enough. Everyone starts somewhere. I mean... I set routes commercially, but I felt insecure about a lot of my stuff for the first 3 or so months. Even my amazing head setter said he was the same! Oh, and if it helps any with your setting, a few setting procedures are hands-only then add in feet to adjust difficulty, putting a single feature hold on the wall, and then setting around that (usually the crux), or thinking of a theme for the route (heel hooks, crimpy holds, dynamic, etc...). Also, here's some technical and general safety advice below, if that's okay! (1) Always be sure to have eye protection or look away from the bolt-holes/T-nuts when blowing debris out or resetting the wall. Metal shrapnel occasionally flies out and may get in your eyes. Look into a T-nut tap as well for "fixing" messed up T-nuts if you're worried about that. (2) I would recommend not tightening holds too tight because it may crack the holds (especially smaller ones). (3) If you'd like to continue using the large, purple hold without worries, I highly recommend you buy a countersink bit or make your own with two different drill bits! This is what you call "set-screwing" a hold so that it does not spin. :) Do not just put a screw in without the countersink made first, though. You may notice some holds already have a countersink for you (looks like a little dimple). Just make sure that when you put the screw in, that the head sits flush with the hold, but it does not go all the way through the hold; "just enough" is fine. (I have gotten a screw stuck in the wall before. Oops...) When removing the hold, always remove the set screw first, then the bolt. For "screw-on" holds (holds that are not bolt-on), you can always just put the partially removed screw against the head of a bolt as you drill it outwards. (4) One thing I like to do is to get the bolt or screw a hold in just enough so that I can adjust the angle of the hold to my preference while grabbing it and miming the move I want. I then go all the way in. A good rule of thumb for difficulty is to see if adjusting the hold 10-15 degrees makes it too hard. I try to aim for that so that the hold doesn't feel "wrong" when I grab it. Flow is nice.~ Anyways, I hope that wasn't too unsolicited. Have fun, and stay safe. :)

[@kevinlyon9501]

Don't worry about posting vids of yourself on your own wall, loads of other people are doing it, plus it's good entertainment for us that haven't. It's the social aspect of climbing I miss, and does feel like you're talking to us. As for the setting stick at it it'll begin to make sense, for the big hold usually they have a locating screw hole, to stop it spinning, if not you can put screw next to the bottom and top edges to stop them spinning. Keep at it.

[@lunalovegood7431]

I love your channel so much! One quick tip - I have the same holds as you and also had the issue of them spinning. Like you mentioned I just drilled holes for extra screws which worked great!

[@gumbynomad]

I always love your videos! And also, you’re absolutely not an idiot, I honestly thought just tightening the bolt super hard would have been enough. Also, the “I’m talking to you” feel of this video is amazing. Thanks for posting❤️

[@meowxallie]

thank you for the content Jenn! always so relaxing to watch your vids, they bring me peace

[@reubenb1258]

Whilst I really wish I had a home wall watching someone climbs whiles I'm stuck at home is oddly inspiring, especially watching another introvert who like sport.

[@petzlpretzel2940]

Your homewall is absolutely fantastic! I love seeing the spicy home routes and climbing! And the talking bit at the end is very apreciated

[@amandajchan]

So lovely how you're bonding with your grad class with the journals. Also your climbing setup in ACNH looks sick!

[@jwill2931]

You might be ok to drill a screw hole into the purple traitor hold depending on what it's made of, if it's polyurethane resin you can definitely just drill it. You've set some fun looking routes there 😊

[@andrewmitchell5807]

3:38 IS THAT OH KLAHOMA!?!? Its weird but I get so passionate about hearing my favorite songs on KZbin videos it just makes my day!

[@ivanah.557]

Jenn! If you want to use that problem hold but think it will spin, you can add a screw right under the hold on the side you think it will spin on. Not sure if that is the right way to do things but it worked for us. That's what we did until we got our Moonboard holds. I thought this was a really fun video btw!! I liked seeing what you set and thought the orange climb reminded me of a classic board climb! :D

[@greenlightcity]

Great video! Keep em coming! I'm sure all your fans enjoy your videos whether you're climbing in a gym, on a rock, or on your home wall. I also built my own home wall, and am a beginner climber. I just got into it last summer only for COVID-19 to mess with my new hobby. Like many of us who's gyms closed, I just had to build the home wall to keep things going, but as a newbie, it's awesome to see how others set their own walls, learn any tips and tricks, and see how they deal with issues that I'll likely run into. Stay safe and stay awesome!

[@Luxx0002]

Hang in there, some people think quarantine is introvert heaven, but for many of us it's not. Introvert is not loner! Just because you're an introvert it doesn't mean you don't like people. Hang in there, keep strong on the homeboard, feel free to take a break if needed. I always love your vids, see ya in the next one!

[@RyanACheatham]

Thank you so much for sharing! You are not alone! Keep up the good work.

[@Balgore8]

Awesome to see this video you have no idea how long ive been waiting for you to post this since building the wall!! All KZbin climbers aren't posting anything right now because shops are closed so lets see those climbs on your home made wall!! Also you fully inspired me to build my own wall! But i can't find where to buy holds so they're all wooden hand made for now. Cheers from Canada

[@projectanmu4546]

the thing that is keeping me sane is actually designing, 3d printing and testing climbing holds. its so much fun and since its kinda like what i do as a job it helps me to get better at my job :D

[@Pennaflumen]

Route setting is a skill and an art. It's gonna take some practice so don't feel bad messing around and learning what works! Actually do it a lot-lot. The quarantine has been kinda lonely, and we're all trying our best to stay sane. Your videos help keep me sane while I work from home, so keep making them! :D

You're not just talking to a camera :). I never thought you were flexing with your wall. You've got my respect instead for building it. I've been thinking to make one as well, but in hindsight I would be able to look into my neighbour's backyard, which weirds me out a little. Not really into the animal crossing thingy, but I like that you share your hobby's to us, really felt like you were talking to me one on one. 5:43 , you're my favourite idiot though :).

[@EllaSmellaxo]

I've been living vicariously through you. Finally getting to go back to the climbing gym tomorrow, so I've been watching lots of videos to prep as that's the only way I can practise? That doesn't really make any sense but again, no access to a wall.😭 Your wall is really cool though, good job!

In Germany, we can go back to climbing for a week now and I am going to try soon but sadly I have some anxiety because I feel they opened up way too soon. But anyway, thanks for all the motivation and really well-edited videos. :)

[@SiSi-rf8hj]

Watching from Germany here. Luckily the gyms in my area reopened last week as long as they keep to some strict regulations. I hadn't taken a break from bouldering for more than a week in the past 3-4 years; I felt it was getting more and more difficult to remember the passion I put into climbing before the quarantine. Took only one session to come back though. As for your wall, I think you are grossly undervaluing your own work, especially for a first time setter ;) The green start looks like a really fun start to figure out with like a drop knee or so. I think I like the orange one best, you're using all that wall space pretty nicely. Ever thought of adding a few sit starts? Could make up for the lower height compared to a gym wall...

[@begga9682]

[@n3v3r1s4]

As a European, we've been lifting many restrictions lately, so many people have begun resorting to climbing rock outdoors (gyms might reopen soon tbh, but for the moment, not just yet). That being said, I discovered that a publicly accessible and open outdoor artificial boulder (large, 4m tall 2-mushrooms-connected-with-an-overhang concrete thing with hundreds of holds) in a local sports park which is in fact operational and fully accessible, and since my climbing career is still in the "I need to loose another 5kg gah" phase, perfect for the next couple of summer months hehe (actually it's quite a large structure, and usually populated by experienced climbers, so theoreticaly I could develop on it for many years, it's actually that good). We'll see how the situation develops though, would suck if gyms stayed close for the entirety of upcoming winter as it would be nice to initiate some sort of self-measurement (grades). Also heating.. PS: your speech about being lonely definitely hit a spot lol, personally I'm what you'd call a hidden introvert (appear sociable, but actually bother with socializing very rarely) but even I have to admit to missing some serious social contact by now. Hang in there! xD

[@JenniferLangen]

i think so! i'm currently living with some folks who are more at-risk, so i think even after the climbing gyms open up, i might have to stick to the home wall for a little while longer. hope you have a fun and safe time in joshua tree!

[@crescentfuze]

Haven't finished the video yet but so far I see you're setting with different colours for different problems, boards like this are generally splash walls so don't restrict yourself to staying to one colour and make stuff up using everything as it is.

[@mayaloza2140]

also it’s a great idea to watch climbing videos to get route ideas :) there are instagrams for this if you look up “route setter” on there. when i set at my gym I do this & draw out ideas & certain holds i want to use. i think about how i want to position the hold & what moves i want to force the climber to make :)

[@SendSeries]

i can't speak for everyone but don't feel bad about posting videos on the home wall.

Was that a Calcifer cushion you were making?! Omg! I found setting my home wall really difficult. I went for a symmetrical set rather than setting specific problems, then I use an app called Boulder Challenge to set problems on there :) It's really nice seeing other peoples home walls, I'd love to see more videos of you on yours!

I am so jelly of your wall since you got one I have really been wanting one XD. just have to stop buying bike parts. I myself am a Introvert and its strange I started climbing right around xmas and doing more people stuff like trying to get out and now I cant and its just killing me so I can feel you there. Also I would love to watch other videos on other topics that you enjoy like sure I like climbing and thats how I found you but I also like bass and crafts.
