Replica Boulders with Drew Ruana at the Tension Training Center

In this video, Michael and Quinn hang with Drew Ruana as he uses The Tension Board 1, The Tension Board 2, and Tension’s “Beast” spray wall to replicate some of his hardest current projects in Colorado.
Using a spray wall to replicate outdoor projects has become an increasingly popular way to train. Drew, having been forced to climb inside due to a recent bout of bad weather, has found this replica method especially useful to keep him ready for his projects when the weather clears up.

i want more videos with drew but i am not attached to the idea of seeing that flexible ankle demon again

[@nathanogara9660]

Wouldn't recommend woah climbing then

That heel hook it's just unbelievable, I really don't know how he could make it work, literally no idea. Respect boss 🤙🏾

[@amethyst8399]

must be some nice ass shoes, mine could never

[@crescentfuze]

@@amethyst8399 It's not just the shoes.

[@amethyst8399]

@@crescentfuze of course not but of all the techniques in climbing heel hooking is probably one of the most affected by shoe fit and make, of course he’s also just super skilled

[@crescentfuze]

@@amethyst8399 My point is, neither is this the most expensive climbing shoe and neither are the most expensive climbing shoes as expensive as something like skates so a shoe capable of doing this is much more accessible and therefore technique is a much more overwhelming part of it that in my opinion it seems you feel like. All of this is of course assuming that your shoes fit well, which is a big deal.

[@amethyst8399]

@@crescentfuze yeah ofc there's a massive technique in heels, I agree with you. But finding a shoe that fits perfectly on your heel is pretty hard. I think we agree we're just saying it differently

The editing on this video is hilarious. PAUL REVERE

[@Connordrs1123]

Unfortunately since each fan doesn't produce enough thrust to lift itself, we're going to need some balloons. Buoyant Force = (Density of air - Density of gas) * Volume * Gravity, assuming 0.833 kg per cubic meter density of air at bear lake, and about 0.164 kg per cubic meter density of helium, and let's say we're using conveniently large balloons of 1 meter in diameter, 9,194 of these will lift an 160 pound person and a 29 pound(from the data sheet) big ass orange fan. If you do the math with the orange fan producing 1625 cubic feet of air per minute, and assuming an acceleration of the air leaving of a couple meters per second, thrust = mass flow rate * acceleration, mass, the fan produces about 0.636 newtons of thrust. The difference in elevation between bear lake parking and lower chaos is 865 feet, negating the horizontal distance needed to travel this would take about 245 seconds, or 4 minutes to get to lower

[@Connordrs1123]

So 9,194 balloons, one big ass orange fan and one massive extension cord should do the trick

[@user-ih3jl9um6e]

Have we considered the increasing weight of the extension cord?

[@tensionclimbing1022]

Incredible. Now we know 🙏

This type of videos make me happy. One of the best climbing channels out there no doubt. Keep it up

[@etdrefiel]

Great video again! Would be cool if you had Drew, or some other pro climber, back for another video where you set some benchmarks for idk V8, V9, V10 or something. It's so fun to try problems that pro climbers have set! :D

[@tensionclimbing1022]

Noted! We'll get something like that in the queue

Hahahaha let’s goooo😂

[@devinrocks11]

That movement is due to hip flexibility, not ankles right? Foot seems to be neutral and in line with the shin so not much ankle rotation

[@gatosospechosop3]

drew is so cool, i wanna be like drew when i grow up

Got sick of gym climbing videos, started watching only outdoor bouldering. At this point im sick of even outdoor bouldering videos - all I wanna see is board climbing.
