Reputation (V14/15 FA) // Anatomy of a Project

[@Mike_McClure]

Out of curiosity, did you bulk for the 4th move and cut weight for the 15th move? Also what was your height and weight for the 10th move?

[@Synthysizer]

😆

[@matt_fultz]

Bulked up for the end. Kept a protein bar in my mouth that I start chewing after move 10.

[@EpifanoEntertainment]

Lol

10/10 support filmer as always 🙏

It looks like the last big move to the lip is primarily hamstring dominant in order to generate the momentum needed, but from the start rips, you're getting the heel hook set and holding the tension and the knee at roughly 90 degrees, but not extending slightly beyond 90 degrees in order to lengthen the hamstring before initiating the movement again from the hammy with the extra 10 percent pull from the increased ROM. Seems obvious watching behind the screen, but I'm sure the move feels absolutely limit from the start! This has to be one of my all time favourite climbing videos, although I will - most likely never come close to climbing at this level - it's still awesome when you can learn and take away subtleties from such a simple video. I really enjoy watching the pros through their processes of sending limit rigs. The movements or how you take the holds so precisely somehow reminds me of Gioia for some reason.

Loved seeing the process! Those things are sharp!!!

[@piotrosc]

I love your approach to falling! Just smile and keep going, having fun with the process :)

[@thique_nicc]

Congratulations matt. You killed it

[@adamhaas141]

Hey, thic nic.👋 As a guy with a some Viking genetics myself, you and Matt inspire me. It's really cool to see bulkier dudes defying the conventional wisdom that you have to be small or thinly built to climb hard.

[@alexbiale]

Such a relatable experience. Way to stick with it and not get too negative and in your head. Looks savage!

[@benburkhalter1858]

Dude this looks way harder than V14 hahah. I think safe to say its solid at 15!! Nice work 👍🏻

[@matt_fultz]

Thanks Ben! You would smash this thing.

[@BridgerAstonClimbs]

I’ve gone out to reynolds a few times now and been wanting to try absolution but haven’t been able to find it. How do you get out to it?

[@mromanat]

What do your skin tactics look like for being able to go from nearing a split to having a session the next day? Do you cover your skin after moisturizing?

[@herbiejohnson]

such a cool line!

[@brennanrobinson6640]

looks sick!! nice work dude!

[@matt_fultz]

Thanks Brennan!

[@TheMarkvq]

Awesome hermano

[@ilian7646]

crazy good

[@andrewskerratt8353]

Nice work! 😅 Another “14/15” in Idaho lol

[@matt_fultz]

Polaris, Warp Speed, No Peace, and now Reputation. You've got to repeat them and let me know which grade is correct!

[@jakestout2439]

Do professional outdoor climbers get paid enough by their sponsors and brand deals to climb full time?

[@matt_fultz]

I’m lucky to have incredible sponsors that support me with a salary and provide reimbursements for gas, tickets, etc. but I also do remote coaching through OTGstrength which I love! Additionally, Hailey is a nutritionist for climbers and athletes, so that provides additional income for us as well.

[@jakefallin9748]

you are lucky haha, not any in video ads or product placement, no links in bio, small page....

[@gallanonim6535]

@@matt_fultz Hope you will get a much deserved raise in the near future. Thanks Matt for giving hope to taller climbers (I'm 6'5"). Any plans towards: ROTSW, Alphane, Burden? Also Cheers for Hailey and her lovely support as always.:)

[@matt_fultz]

@@gallanonim6535 Thanks Gall! Right now I'd like to get back out to Tahoe this Spring to try Big Z some more, then just training through the Summer.

[@imnotjoe]

After some searching I found it and had a look yesterday. Those last couple of moves look even more impossible up close.

[@pumpkini586]

That looked harder than Veccio sit

[@matt_fultz]

Might be...😲

[@dawsonpelletier9162]

Sick send dude ! Looks like a crimpy masterpiece:))
