wowe !! probably one of the most helpful video to climb offwidth !!

[@healingaffirmations6055]

Thank you thank you thank you! Super helpful to see the techniques of two different sized people for the same climb

[@sourfruits9021]

about to do a crack climb 40ft “high ball” V2 boulder next week, glad i stumbled upon this on my feed. thanks for the help!

[@chrisadams9616]

What a great video! We can tell you put a lot of effort into making the concepts accessible!

[@andrewolesen8773]

Thanks, definitely got some new techniques to try when it warms up.

[@Ashesandrust1]

Wonderful Technique!

[@rikard.ronnkvist]

Thanks for the 101's, really good content! Can you make a playlist out of it so it's easier for us to share?

[@rikard.ronnkvist]

I just wish these videos didn't have music :(

[@weerobot]

You Cracked it ..

[@ASNIV_]

Awesome vids. Hopefully I can delete the step where I get so exhausted I puke on myself

[@robertpearson9137]

Crack training AND a Treadwall? Where is this? Everything I need is right there.

[@anthonyjohnson4703]

This is at the Vertical Endeavors-Twin Cities Bouldering location in Minnesota. Its really cool to see a gym invest in quality crack wall space!

[@rushthezeppelin]

@@anthonyjohnson4703 wth, meanwhile here in Denver we have a few gyms with a few cracks none of which are wide...

[@GhostofReason]

Okay so Trango is bringing back the massive Big Bro #5 in limited runs once 100 people have preordered and we are at 32 so far. trango.com/p-356-big-bro-5.aspx

[@anthonyjohnson4703]

Good to know! Though personally, I prefer the Valley Gaint #12 (it's nice to have the option to walk a cam and generally more stable than Big Bro's).

[@zltonyzhong]

does those kind of technique require wear-proof pants? seems really tough!

[@MysteriousMrC]

Hey Anthony, cool vids. How tall is the wall? Is it 12 feet?

[@anthonyjohnson4703]

Thanks! Close, the wall is actually at 14ft.

[@robertpearson9137]

Too bad they didn't make those cracks a little deeper for straight arm bars. Paraphrasing John Long: your bottom outside foot is your motor in offwidth, understand this or forever suffer. You can of course do those all those wide cracks without fancy stacking techniques.

[@robertdavis9065]

by outside foot do you mean the foot at the lip of the crack?
