"That doesn't exist on real rock!"

Some indoor climbing moves are often called "ridiculous" because you would never find them outdoors. Today, we try to myth-bust that theory!

People REALLY wanna tell rock climbers that a certain rock shape doesn't exist when they haven't gone outside.

[@since1876]

It doesn't matter if it exists or not, you need to push yourself harder in a gym then you ever will outside so that you'll never find your limit when you're free soloing a massive cliff. You wanna find your limit somewhere that falling is safe 😂

Exactly. Solving on an artificial wall allows you to test your physical capabilities and problem solving skills in a controlled way. It's literally the same kind of thing as training for any other sport. It's weird to me that people don't get that.

[@hughesga1745]

It's not a technique that would probably ever be used in a team rock setting, but it is a combination of extremely technical movements and major strength that would most definitely be used on actual rock. Not to mention that was just cool as shit.

[@nanshire2278]

Yes, it's called a Knee-bar.

But it is a knee-bar that forces you to rotate around the knee-bar which is actually rare. However, it is still useful.

You do realize people don't make the mountains. The reason it doesn't exist is because no rock structures have really done that.

​@@WhoKnowsMang I think the idea is that when choosing moves to attempt, we're more likely to find moves like this in nature, now the we know they exist and are doable. Rocks form in a lot of different ways and we just do our best to look at what exists and say "hey I could do that." Now we can do more, and try more variety of rock formations. Emil has proven here that a rock formation already existing with this move is possible.
