I am such a fan of the videos you’ve been putting out. Even before this “higher effort,” your videos changed my climbing completely. Now with these longer videos, i feel bad for any climber who doesn’t know your channel exists

[@PowerCompanyClimbing]

Thank you! We’ve got a long way to go still, but the plan is to make it the best teaching channel out there.

I think I've been contemplating this subconsciously for years, but have never been able to capture it in words. You've done that perfectly. I think a fantastic athlete to represent what you're describing here is Sorato Anraku. Coming from a lead-background, his setups are so flawless that he makes moves look twice as easy as his peers!

[@PowerCompanyClimbing]

I’ll check him out!

[@PapaBenny]

This is amazing. Content like these get me psyched to climb more.

[@PowerCompanyClimbing]

Yes! Psyched that you’re psyched!

[@JUSTINCHEN-zs2lj]

really good breakdown of a new way to think of momentum and generating for me. thank you!!

[@PowerCompanyClimbing]

Glad it's helpful! I probably spend too much time rethinking how we look at things, but occasionally it pays off.

[@AlecARGH]

Thanks for the tip! Will try later today!

[@rock_joy]

Excellent Kris! Congrats for these and for written in stone, aka the best climbing podcast out there (from a fellow podcaster). If you ever want to know more about Bernabé Fernández give me a shout ;)

[@PowerCompanyClimbing]

@rock_joy I suspect that Bernabé will play a role in the 2000s when we get there, so I absolutely will. Maybe sooner than later actually, and I’ll just hold on to it until the 2000s come up! Thanks for the good words!

Another very helpful vid.

[@PowerCompanyClimbing]

Thanks. Figuring out our system over here. More coming!

@@PowerCompanyClimbing I think you’re on to something. : ) I knew those drills from your proven plan. Still the video add context and help better understand concept and how to apply it.

[@PowerCompanyClimbing]

@@pier-oliviermoreau4374 to be honest, in the case of the false starts in particular, it took a while for me to understand why it was valuable! I'd seen it work for some high level climbers in very specific situations, but wasn't entirely sure why.

[@joolsgrommers1466]

I'd been doing the hover drill again after decades of not bothering, and then decided to do the false start one. Then watched this video a few days later... Ha, learned something from your constraint led approach podcasts..

[@PowerCompanyClimbing]

Good to hear! Glad you’re getting something from them!

[@khakicam5400]

Shit hot Kris, thanks heaps

[@danielparsons2859]

Are you allowed to use starting blocks for the 800m? Races are being decided by hundreds of a second these day so is this something that should be considered. Athletes are basically sprinting 800m these days. It's evolved.

[@PowerCompanyClimbing]

If that were entirely true, the record would be closer to 1:15 (or even less) instead of 1:41 since it's normal to see 100 in under 10s out of blocks. 800 runners just aren't going as fast. Top speed can only be held for a few seconds by anyone. Most of the best 100 runners are decelerating slightly in the second half of the 100, so there's no need for 800 runners to go out of blocks and reach top speed faster. It would be counterproductive.
