Pro Route Setter Vs 1st Timers

[@perplexedon9834]

This video was great! I'd love to see the format refined. I reckon the judges shouldn't know who did which boulder (though it may be obvious), and there should also maybe be a theme that should be aimed for. Something like "big moves", "pulling hard", "facing away" etc. just to try and bring the style of the competing boulders a bit closer

[@BoulderingBobat]

I like these ideas!

[@SF-br8bu]

The Great British Routesetting Hoedown. I'd watch that.

[@nap_time_]

the thing is is that the idea of the competition was based on hold choice so they'd already know

[@lucascharrier1740]

yeah I would also love the opinion of "random" climbers in the gym !

[@SH-bw9nw]

I would also like to see the competitors to set with the same holds! When using different type of holds it is harder to compare.

[@patrickkrawczykowski2793]

Really loved the almost educational style of this kind of comp. I learned a lot about what makes a boulder good from a setters perspective. Definitely do more iron chef style setting comps.

[@ShakespeareanBroncobuster]

Best climbing channel in the game is blessing us with regular uploads. Perhaps the world truly is coming to an end.

[@AustinCooper]

This is a cool vid idea and format! I've been a routesetter for 7 years and mostly agree with the scoring. The only thing I might suggest is to add a scoring category for Fairness. For example, the blue boulder may seem V3 for a very tall climber or V6 for a very short climber. IMO, "accuracy" of grade is much less important since all grades are heavily based on a system of false precision.

[@algiovannelli1271]

Love this style of video you guys should definitely do more of this sort of thing!

[@atti_010]

I've done that blue one, really enjoyed it, nice job! hilarious to see how you set it. also thanks for the no hands rest, used it on the way to the top.

[@SandbagBouldering]

This video is pure gold. Luke and Barns pure comedy gold. Bobat bouldering is pure climbing gold.

[@rglo1016]

love this format, boys did some good work. would love to see some setting-related videos featuring female setters and/or female climbers!

[@screw2loose2]

Would love to see this format again. Thought it was brilliant

[@andrewshaw7862]

I would love to see a full day of jake setting and hear his thought processes as he creates his climbs

[@biltongandboba]

Shame Tom didn't seem to get the 'smack the lip, wapahhh' reference lmao. I did, and it certainly gave me a laugh!

[@rookjameson]

I really like this format! More of it please :) Both boulders look great!

[@G.Giorgio]

for someone who never set a route it was very insightfull to see beignners set a boulder and you point out their wins and mistakes:)

[@anorangewithadvil]

Would love to see these two set again after a bit of practice to see how much they improve

[@fakename757]

please more routesetting content!!

[@Theboardbro]

Such a great idea for an episode!

[@wadball]

lol at John's inability to not help xD Great vid concept more pls

[@impactroutesetting]

Cracking stuff! Let’s do some setting challenges 💪

[@markusmuller65656]

Awesome to see how respectful you get the competition going!

[@RealWorldClimbing]

I like Jake! What a classy guy. "I prefer their boulder" I think I might too... once everything is fully secured, that is :D

[@thewateringwiz7118]

Love setting videos ! Hope you bring the format back in the future because it was super entertaining to learn what you guys judge as good setting or not ! Awesome video

[@grennangoeshiking]

What a great training idea for new setters. They smashed it! Great video too. Looks like you guys are hiring well too. Creating and sticking with the culture is what need more than anything. Skillset can be trained!!! Bravo keep it up

[@svenningen]

Yes and forever yes to more setting videos!

[@hannibal3143]

I think it could be a lot of fun if a gym did a raffle where you could help set a boulder if you won the raffle.

[@FidgetBearGames]

Love the route setting videos. Maybe another challenge is that Jake can't take anything off the wall once it's screwed on. Don't know if that's too easy

[@andynathan1969]

I've always wanted to set a boulder for fun myself, I'm not that good and don't know if I ever will be, but it just seems like a really creatively exciting process. Anyway, fun video, hope to see more setting stuff!

[@mikalbonner5599]

Tom straight Hatin on my boiz boiz boiz

[@lucasfournier8195]

Very nice video ! Could have been great to see Jake and the others tweek the blue boulder at the end to make it viable for the gym !

[@timon753]

This was great, would definitely love to see some more, if you are up for it!

[@cantonis1999]

Would love more of these videos!

[@bas2245]

"I think they were too argumentative when they phoned a friend" As a music teacher, that's a phrase I'll have to remember.

[@westarchildren7197]

liked the format! Pretty informative and fun to watch, youu should definitely make it a regular.

[@boildabeast9994]

This is a brilliant series idea. Get a series of random noo bikes to compete against the Hang residents

[@BlitzDG]

Make the important stuff worth 10 and the less important stuff stay at 5. Loved this one, and I honestly believe the boys made a more fun boulder!

[@griffenalexander5597]

It’s the unbridled, fully bodied, absolutely testicular lads. Loving the regular uploads

[@Mindofliz]

I love watching Jaker set! MAkes me miss setting so much

[@codecay]

This was great, could be a series with non-setter guest climbers 👌

[@miel_ap]

"Climbing is dangerous(...) that's why you sign a waiver form, folks" 🤣

[@jeremymager4515]

unreal format!!

[@blitzchalk]

Jake vs. Nikken. Battle of the century!!

[@emmanueldannug6255]

Loved this one guys

[@jsboone1979]

I’m building a home wall. What’s the spacing you use for tnuts on a 4’x8’ sheet of plywood?

[@chris_devlog]

Awesome video! Would be cool if the judges didn't know who made each boulder

[@tomdavies6481]

Need more Luke and Barnes chaos on this channel! 😂

[@martinwindischmann1943]

Hell yeah, more of this please! 🔥Always love route setting vids, especially with people who are less experienced at it. I hope I get to try it out some day. Must be so fun :)

[@ERSninety]

Well done Barns and Luke ;)

[@donnecheli2721]

More of these lads

[@swordriffraff-green6319]

Old school Bobat is back; moonboard muppets vibes

[@dgilliess]

Would like to see another video in a similar format between Jake & Matt Cousins.

[@k1ttyfurball]

Jake with the mr fruit tshirt?! not the collab we thought we needed!

[@hyau23]

Is it safe to say that most if not all first time setters will set a dyno? To easy go to move and not really think about movement?

[@PIZZAS4UC3]

We need a Jake vs Nikken setting colab!

[@wassillontherocks]

More please

[@TheRealMrDanPancan]

awesome video !!

[@hobgobbling]

yo where'd you get that sweater?

[@hyau23]

Moonboard muppets but with setting. Also, where is the the next moonboard muppets ep?!

[@seanrobinson203]

Can jake do a little learning series for setting a home board? 🙂

[@cookie5171]

Is the gym the hang out?

[@JibbyT93]

big up white peach records

[@meitalkupfer6436]

fab content much prefer to watch this than the superbowl

[@benjaminpatterson8891]

An hour to set a bloc, luxury

[@DemirAylak]

Cool format but if you give advantages such as good holds, you shouldn't cut point saying "you had good holds, be better". Give the lads some slack, they did well!

[@fat82much]

This great bois. Appreciate how supportive you were of the new guys

[@jwest8330]

love it

[@jannadevries9067]

How are there not more thirsty comments about Jake on this channel

[@wajas2631]

banga

[@SameerLalji]

If this was a blind vote, I wonder what the score would have been? 🤔

[@Jagknorr]

To say the blue one isnt aesthetic and the purple one is, is just criminal. 🤦‍♂️

[@moonti6820]

They made it pretty clear that given the choice of holds they had at the beginning, the blue boulder could have been way more stylish. Of course those holds look better than the purple ones, no one is denying that.

[@Jagknorr]

@@moonti6820 yeah it did make sense when they said it was more of a grading based on potential of holds selection…but still !!! That purple one, to me, was muuuuch less inviting. 😆

[@the0neskater]

Jake's block was so simple and boring, expected a huge amount more from him. It's literally like 3 moves with left right left right jeesh. Wtf those scoring hahaha..

[@rasmusblomberg7373]

someone is not a setter

[@inigoose3723]

MORE LUKE AND BARNES!!!

[@shaneh7519]

How did Jake’s score a 4/5 in aesthetics. It looked incredibly boring

[@colemantrebor6574]

The moves on Jakes boulder were so basic :( I get that it's partly because of the holds he got but still disappointed

[@mrbkent]

first

[@harrymanion3007]

lol, i was ready to do my first ever

[@krzysztofsota9602]

4/5 for Jake's 🪨 aesthetics is BS. Stop the steal
