How are CLIMBING HOLDS CREATED? | ft Japanese Master

how are climbing holds made? I visited the Under Blue Hold studio in Tokyo, the only Asian Brand which has holds in the IFSC comp, and tried to learn a thing or two about the art of creating climbing holds from the shaper of the Brand, Masaki Yasuda!

It's nice to hear how he wants to create for everyone, not just for comp climbers. Dual-tec is not my favorite, either, but they do change things up so it's not too bad to encounter them. Still, I prefer things that feel more "natural." He's a lovely person with such a creative mind... thanks for this interview!

Amazing Video and interview! Every hold looks so beautiful and kind of natural. Also it was really pleased to see that Masaki Yasuda said all climbers, whether its a comp climber or not, are equally important. It is nice to hear that.

[@strategictoast3714]

Hey man love the vids!!! Ive got some quick feedback for ya to improve the videos if you're interested I found that the volume mixing was a little off... so in some clips the audio was low, and when I increased the volume it would be pretty loud after so I would have to change my volume again. Don't forget to check the audio volume levels between clips! Thanks

[@Jonathan_sin88]

alright I will definitely check that out!! thank youu!

[@BoulderingHighlights]

i can only imagine how difficult the interview and filming process was for you haha but you did a great job piecing it together Surprised he let you film inside the studio! thats a huge priviledge! there must have been alot of footage you had to cut because you couldnt show certain things

[@Jonathan_sin88]

it took a lot of work to make this video happen but definitely worth it!

[@underbluehold]

Thanks for watching! @Jonathan_sin88 did a great job!

[@JustinCasey216]

How are the holds textured?

[@captain-levi139]

this is a art

[@Jonathan_sin88]

it really issss

[@underbluehold]

Yes!

[@muhammad3165]

I hope Jonathan has been learning Japanese so that it'll be easier for him to communicate with them in interviews like this

[@christophh9477]

Maybe I'm a freak but since outdoor holds often are everything but ergonomic I like indoor holds to be as awkward as possible 😂.

[@akwa90]

Interesting video! Aren’t you both Japanese. Why don’t you understand each other?

[@Jonathan_sin88]

haha nah, I am from Hong Kong
