Is this climbing's most hated move? We did a comp around it

[@makoko6812]

I like mantles quite a lot. What i really hate are moves on tiny footholds that are a mix of smearing and edging and will send you sliding down the wall if you mess them up

[@JoshDoes]

those are terrifying cause u can scrape ur shin all the way down it!

[@moritzwegge6835]

agreed

[@a-j.2002]

@@JoshDoes Or your face, like I did two weeks ago. I got hit in the eyebrow area, but you can get a new face out of that if you're unlucky.

[@rcblitzfpv8346]

@@a-j.2002yea and you hit other holds with your chin on the way down 🥴

[@JPsk8core]

There are ones even worse: dual texture footholds. I don't think they even make sense at all! just put a foothold 1/4 of the size, I'm fine with it, but not that shit that has 70% non texture and 30% grip which makes me test and fall (and potentially injure myself) many times until I get it well...

[@nascentclimbing]

I love how one move mantles are usually lambasted in gyms & get the routesetters a bad name for being 'lazy', but you guys have made an entire event out of them - big kudos 👏🏻

[@moleSG]

I relate so much to Tom sitting down on a hold, halfway up the wall, shouting "I've fucked it!".

[@AidenDesJames]

I love mantles, they're usually a fun challenge and embody the essence of climbing quite well. Also suites the muscle groups I like to use My most hated thing is pinches ~~ I never feel stable on a pinch.

[@BoulderingBobat]

Thanks to smash it holds for lending us some holds! Check them out at friendlyclimbing.co.uk Luke: @futurecentremanager Barnes: @barns2314

[@joolsgrommers1466]

Thank you! It’s been ace seeing them on the video!

[@marcbecker1431]

Racism is also my least favorite move to be fair to Omar.

[@Ericxnugz]

That’s racist I’m in a transition rn.

[@urabagofcells2228]

That bro was like racism exists on climbing??!!? Lol

[@TheLoserface45]

And they built a comp centered around it!

[@kuhenelan]

Loving the editing with the slow-mo motion blur of that one try on the last problem. Very 90s-esque skateboarder part. Also the other cilmber looks like Nicholas Hoult.

[@SoftReplica]

17:11 so cool! For anyone curious, this style is often called "step-printing"

[@ThePopeOfAllDope]

My least favourite is definitely the figure 9 (I just made that up) when you have to match on the final hold on a slab, and you need to work an arm over your head.

[@iedison3839]

A figure 9 is already a climbing/ice climbing move haha, its like a figure 4 but your leg goes over the same side arm instead of the opposite side arm

[@FtwXXgigady]

A well done mantle is incredibly fun or satisfying. Sketchy outdoor mantles are terrifying, especially on lead lol

[@ayaep2061]

is manteling really one of climbings most hated moves? every time they put a good mantel up in my gym i work on those routes for hours, its a grand old time

[@aidanjohnson7571]

Found the one guy who enjoys mantles!

[@guustvanuden2968]

its actually one of my all time favorites@@aidanjohnson7571

[@bowenkeller1836]

I think mantles are great, and the video name is A+ clickbait

[@thefrenchpilot]

I think they're just a bit rare in most gyms, if you go to Fontainbleau you'll do mantles all day.

[@JoshDoes]

at my gym i heard a ton of people saying slopers were there weakness but actually hate crack climbs lol

[@ThommyTheThird]

My most hated move(s) would have to be jams. Fist jams, hand jams, any jam. They look cool, but they freak me out and they hurt like fuck

[@outandabout259]

I have only tried one jamming boulder, first it practically scraped the skin from the backs of my hands. Then I tried it with wideboyz gloves and it felt like I had both pillows and glue on my hands, it was comfortable and the grip felt solid instead of being constantly scared of slipping out.

[@HochstartHarry]

Jamming volumes and holds is terrible, i hate gym jams, but once outdoors i rather use a jam than a crimp all day and my hands still have skin after. Gloves are concidered aid over here so you just man up and jam the fuka. Pain goes away after a couple moves

[@sketchag7048]

I love these kinds of mantles. I wish I couldve sent some of these climbs with yall

[@climbing_thomas]

nice, exactly the kind of video i needed to pop up before i start eating my 400g bucket of pudding

[@ollieovis5436]

Can't look at Tom the same anymore after that ultra marathon. Expecting him to flash everything.

[@SandbagBouldering]

Luke is something special. This might feature as a question in an up coming quiz “what famous super hero’s catch phrase is “it’s time to get the rig out”?

[@andrewkim9503]

Bad feet on slab are my least favourite 😢

[@andrewkim9503]

@@VaughnRondo Yeah but I mean those really slopy or dual tex foot jibs they sometimes use 😔

Little Utrecht teaser there at the end...

[@d0ug6raham]

Joe's disappointment at the end is immeasurable

[@ferryvantichelen6521]

Yes mantels are horrible! I also just don't really understand how to improve on them, it feels like i miss flexibility or something...? What is it?

[@100.-.clim_bing]

Try-hard-muscles. You need to try hard! 💪

[@StefanClimbs]

I love mantles. They always look so cozy☺️

[@devin8533]

Joe out here making things look easy

[@exyrux]

heelhooking slab is terrifyung

[@Fallenangel_85]

My least favorite move will always be the Dyno. You much more prone to injuries, your skin wears off very quickly and it can be so time intensive to get right.

[@Theboardbro]

Such a sick vid!

[@ReaperUnreal]

Personally I'm not a big fan of dynos off of no-tex feet, but sure, mantles.

[@matthewdavies1415]

Get Joe on dynamics of change!

[@davyvanderschoot6406]

Damn, when were you guys in Utrecht. Would've loved to go cheer

[@michaelb2938]

[@climbing_thomas]

does anybody know the brand of the exclamation mark logo holds?

[@joolsgrommers1466]

They are Smash It holds from Sheffield UK. Not allowed to link to socials, but easy to find.

[@climbing_thomas]

@@joolsgrommers1466 awesome, thanks so much!

[@Rdenver08]

Triceps are burningggg 🔥

[@mpgrim3312]

Hand foot matches gotta be my least favorite. Hip mobility is hard!

[@Zekew24]

Hand foot matches are always fine for me until the hand is a palm press. Then I lock up and absolutely max out trying to get the foot up.

[@allright21654]

ahh this video came out just in time lol, my gym just set some new boulders with mantles that absolutely kicked my ass

[@conserve_climber]

So Joe did a problem that no one else could do?!?! 🤔

[@EverEnd1663]

The bouldering move I dislike the most is having to start by running over foundation or other holds.

[@moritzwegge6835]

nah, mantles are fine, small box climbing like narrow presses or crazy dropknees are worse imo. But i know that those are up to the body hight so i guess that my dislike comes naturally cause I'm quite tall...

[@swoggofroggo9320]

I remember Joe being the worst climber on bouldering bobat, he’s come so far 🙀

[@kylemann6275]

It would make the competition easier to follow if you posted the scores on the screen at some point.

Mantle is my favourite

[@skoot2629]

Mantles are my favorite move tbh

[@jonathanchon8261]

double mono gaston just MIGHT be worse than a mantle, just maybe

[@BulldeerProduction]

does anybody know what pants joe is wearing in the video?

[@isaackst-louis7678]

mantling is super fun. pockets on the other hand suck

[@Nuadin]

I just hate anything with slopers, probably because i have weak wrists... mantles are oddly fine though.

[@shinraninja]

as a short person - mantelling is super easy

[@Zekew24]

A whole 5 problems of mantles and hand-foot matching and not a single shattered kneecap? 🤔 seems suspicious

[@JoshDoes]

im pretty sure slopers are the most hated in my gym

[@piececake5820]

My least favourite move are dynos and balance moves. I dont get a lot of dynos and no one on my climbing grade.

[@legend99ish]

0 knees left after this

[@dirtytablecloth123]

i HATE toecatches, only because i place them wrong and after 5 attempts my foot hurts

[@HochstartHarry]

I hate huge layback sections, when the crack is in a corner and you cant climb it straight but have to layback 30-100ft. So pumpy, so lame.

[@conserve_climber]

Personally; I’m pretty crap at “dynos” but sure, we’ll say mantles 😉

[@imOverWhere]

Mantels just kill my wrists
