Pro Climber Dominates Game Show

In 2017, Netflix released the show Ultimate Beast Master. This was a game show similar to American Ninja Warrior where contestants had to complete a series of obstacles to become the Ultimate Beast Master. This show featured professional athletes from all over the world, including 2 professional climbers, Heeyong Park and Felipe Camargo. These professional climbers dominated this show and had to compete head-to-head in the finale.

They let the climbers wear actual climbing shoes for the final wall while everybody else is in running shoes 😆

[@xCoNa14]

not many people have or would want to wear climbing shoes

[@santiagolopez9394]

I was one of the two guys that made for a "boring final round". It wasn't even close what we could do compared to what our climbing friends could do on that wall. And yes... trying to climb that with running shoes was... dumb, but we didn't know better.

[@ItsJustJakieG]

I wouldn't say YOU didn't know better, I would say the people who made the obstacles obviously had no clue what they were doing!

[@jrp7808]

I think they should make a copy of the nasty Nick (the toughest obstacle course in the us army) and see how professional athletes do on it. It would be way more fair. There isn't any Rick climbing but there's a ton of rope climbs. Time it because most should make it through and see who does the best on it.

[@ClimbingStuff]

Congratulations on making it to the final round, that course looked brutal! I don't blame the competitors for the final round being boring, that was definitely the production team's fault.

[@randomguyontheinternet5030]

Yeah I think that's just poor planning on the organizer's part on that. Obviously the climbers are going to do way better on a climbing wall, like duh. And it looks so hard that anyone without a specific rock climbing focus, or another sport that prioritizes a strong full body while being light enough to be able to pull yourself up, wouldn't be able to finish that, and climbing shoes would certainly be a huge advantage in a challenge like that, along with having practice using climbing shoes.

[@axepig2066]

[@richardbennett5115]

In defence of the rock climbing instructor, their job is not to be good at climbing, it's understanding how to safely climb using ropes and proper technique and being able to share their knowledge with a student.

[@randomguyontheinternet5030]

Fair. Usually they're invested in rock climbing too, but not to the point of actively training it. Their job is to teach the basics and show you how sometimes, not do it competitively

[@Joycrowsillygoose]

I coached and climbed in my younger years and while I never hit the same climbing level as some of my students, you teach them good technique, training your stamina, proper warm ups and stretches, confidence, reading a route, and creative thinking for those routes where you have to figure it out as you go. I love climbing but the greatest pride I ever had when I climbed was watching my students overcome obstacles and reach goals I never was able to myself 😊

[@ThatLaggyNoob]

Yep, some of the kids I coach climb 2 or 3 grades harder than me

[@FormlessDuck]

Right. I'm a rock climbing instructor, but my max is V3

[@DannyShifter]

Not only the things yall are saying about coaches aren't always very skilled in practice but also feeling rushed because this is a race could have easily caused him to have made a mistake even if he was skilled.

[@UAVTVideoTeam-qi3pj]

One of the Brazilian rock climbers in season 3 is also a lose friend of Mr Cammargo btw

[@MrJojoxD]

Felipe Camargo climbed El Bon Combat that was first ascended by Chris Sharma who graded it a 9b/+, followed by Jakob Schubert grading it a hard 9a+ a few years later. Then Felipe ascended it, proposing 9b which was a couple years later confirmed by Jorge Díaz-Rullo.

[@aristology6912]

Ngl I have no idea what any of that means

[@jonas223xc3]

@@aristology6912 it means Felipe has climbed one of the hardest outdoor rock climbs in the world.

[@aristology6912]

@@jonas223xc3 ok cool

[@Cheesus-Sliced]

@@aristology6912 basically climbing outdoors has number and letter grades, 1-9, A, B, C, where numbers are are primary, letters subdividing. 9b+ basically means its the hardest or second hardest technical climb grade in the world. at about 10:40, you see whats called a "figure 4", which is a technique afaik mostly reserved for higher grade climbs. The fact they chose to do that shows a lot of skill, because thats an incredibly difficult hold where all of your body weight is supported by the fingers of one hand, and you are pivoting to another position on that one hand.

[@GourmetBurrito]

Honestly, the show did a lot right for the spectators. Even having commentators from each represented country and having them close enough to showboat in the other booths. It was a spectacle

[@lurklingX]

i liked that part, having the diff countries rep'd that way.

[@bearelykoalified]

As a climber the main thing i notice is shoes and finger/arm strength as being super advantageous. If you're not a climber, at least use grippy approach or climbing shoes - they'll make everything soooooo much easier. Having the ability to hold onto small holds and even campus (able to monkey bar without feet essentially) will help significantly for nearly every obstactle.

[@durabelle]

Approach shoes would be my choice, since actual climbing shoes would be too painful to run and jump in.

Now I'm doing it for a living, working high-rise work and taking opportunities to climb wherever I can (worldwide!). Thank you loads man! You and the other climbers showed us how it's done!

[@mystyboarder910]

Being a rock climbing instructor, is more about systems and safety, then actually being a good climber. More like being a nerd then an athlete 😂

[@randomguyontheinternet5030]

Yup that's what I thought too. You dont need to be insanely good at rock climbing, you need to be insanely good at teaching someone how to rock climb. (it's just that the territory lends itself to people who already know how to rock climb)

[@ahmadkhairul337]

Makes sense. The best football players isn't necessarily the best coach and vice versa

[@SepiaSepiaKR]

I've seen Felipe Camargo in my local climbing gym a couple of times(Brazilian privilege I guess). He's a real down-to-earth chill person. But when he chalks up and goes to the wall, BOY OH BOY... YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT. I don't think I've ever personally seen him struggle at something, besides moonboard stuff and trying crazy shit on the spray wall. Never had the pleasure of seeing him set and climb a route there, though. Only on his social media. Dude is legitimately the pride and joy of the brazilian climbing scene, alongside a few others. Beast. Absolute climbing machine. I'm glad he was chosen as a competitor.

[@Alex.H99]

This was such a good show, I loved that we got all the different countries commentators perspectives

[@OliOliOliOliOli]

That was one of my favorite parts of the show. It was like the olympics. I still remember the Chinese soup guy.

[@Ylyrra]

There was a British spin off of it too, in the usually cringey way that always happens when we copy a US show. Loved the whole absurdly cheesy over-the-top thing, and while the climbers obviously dominated the obstacles that were climber orientated, it had enough of a mix in there for other people to shine and have some impressive moments even if they eventually got filtered out by the climbing obstacles. Seeing the climbers just breeze through without even breathing hard on the stuff that eliminated other people was kinda awesome too, to put into context the difference of skill and conditioning.

[@randomguyontheinternet5030]

Climbing is just such a hard task for anyone who's not already a climber, like certain tasks are generally upper body, or coordination, but the climbing ones require grip strength, good sense of footholds, etc that people who dont specifically rock climb dont know.

[@Arkhs]

I mean it was literally just the same as season 2 and 3 but from the British commentators perspective. I'm pretty sure that every other country involved had one specifically geared to their commentators too.

I remember in the original Ninja Warrior (Sasuke), the climbers always did well if they made it to Stage 3 because it was all upper body/climbing. In the beginning everyone thought free runners would have the most success. They did, just in the first two Stages.

[@durabelle]

Toby Segar (a parkour professional from STORROR) started climbing to get further in the Ninja Warrior UK, and now he's a pretty strong climber too. I'm sure more of that sort of thing will happen over time when there's competitions like NW, UBM, Gov Games in Dubai etc. Professional athletes from different disciplines taking on another sport to fill the gaps in their skills. I hope it eventually leads into a modern version of pentathlon that creates cool ninja beasts 😆 Not sure what it would consist of exactly, but some form of climbing, gymnastics, jumping, and running at least?

[@gezzapk]

Most pro parkour athletes would pass stage 3

[@JacobStevenson]

[@FM-db3ft]

Injured or older rock climbers become Instructors so that’s not fair. There is a lot more technical aspects to climbing and one may no longer be able to do the physical aspects but can teach the technical side. No different than a hockey coach or ski instructor as they age with injuries or otherwise.

I think that mag-wall or whatever its called is tricky because there's no chalk. You slip very easily if you're on a slippery surface and that seems to have happened a lot. Fingers were strong enough, but there just wasn't enough friction to keep people on the wall.

[@johndoe-sf6hk]

with the instructor falling on that wall it might be because it doest look like they get to wear climbing shoes and from what i understand the shoes make a huge difference in climbing. so without the shoes it becomes more about finger strength, especially with those wall angles, and the pros have enough technique to still power thru without the shoes

[@Rufgaudas]

It makes massive difference. You really struggle to use small footholds with sneakers (it doesn't matter for big jugs though). Though from time to time we do training sessions with sneakers, and during these you tend to use arm strength much more and tire yourself much faster. But still, you can't even properly stand up on a small crimp without a climbing shoes.
