Setting the HARDEST!? project on the Tension Board 2

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Let me know if you get this one done and what you think :). And at what angle

[@denislejeune9218]

Gimme a slab man. None of that overhanging nonsense.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

You can crank the TB back. Anything less than 40 is a slab 😂. I hear you though. I’m a slab lover when the opportunity arises.

@@TomOHalloranAus In my world, anything more than 5 is a roof.

So psyched for the TB2 content! I have the 12x12 arriving for my basement in early July and can't be more excited!

[@jiehua5340]

looking for a roomie?

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Haha wow! Thats going to be awesome! Can’t image how good the whole setup would be

[@JulianBarnett1981]

Damn you have a tall basement ceiling! I'm looking at ditching the moonboard (2024) for the 12x12 TB2 this fall since my new garage will have enough space. Just gotta try it out locally first to get a feel. But so far all the video content I've been seeing has been amazing and got me super psyched!

[@TomOHalloranAus]

You’ll have zero regrets!

@@JulianBarnett1981 Here in Austria plenty of rooms are ≥3.4m tall. Somehow especially old flats in Vienna have these ridiculously high rooms.

[@RealWorldClimbing]

I love that you try problems with eliminates and secondary sequences. I have been doing these a lot more lately and I do genuinely find it to be a great learning tactic.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Yeah really good fun. Doing it with a friend and trying to climb it as many different ways to each other is quite fun and funny too

[@Soccercrazyfanatic22]

Would love to see another video on this boulder or just more of these setting videos in general. This was super fun to watch

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Definitely keen to make more 😀

[@parkeroliver1061]

There is such a need for more climbs at this 10x8 crop. PLEASE keep opening new problems! We desperately need V5-8. Subscribed to you just to hopefully see you warm up on my projects 😂

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Definitely keen to add to the set database. Stay tuned for more :)

[@Gadinski]

lol at 6:19 did you say “a bit of a Solomon Brushdie…” ???

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Haha yeah. Salman Brushdie

Dude you have to come to colorado and climb with the tension guys

I would LOVE to 😀

Thanks for sharing the process! Sweet boulders

Glad you enjoyed ✌️

loving the jungle background tune ^^

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Haha yeah I liked that track

[@piotrosc]

I love Your content, You just literally seems to always have a good time climbing and that is so cool ;) and doing the same bulders in a different ways is something that I tried od my training last days and is super nice too!

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Trying to climb the same thing a few different ways is a great little drill to play with. Or climb it in the style of your fav 3 pros.

[@senorblondie]

5:56 I hate using slopers for feet, it ruins the texture. Stinks you are forced to in order to complete some problems. I'd substitute a different foot just so my slopers stay clean 😁

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Haha you sound like me with standing on wood

[@amethyst8399]

You should try Acta Non Verba, tough shouldery V12 at 40°

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Yes! Very keen to try it! I’ve seen it there but not lit it up yet

@@TomOHalloranAus it’s cool, there’s also an extension on the full sized board that’s a ~V15 project at 45° called deus ex machina

100%

[@ianpayne9345]

No sure if you’re aware but if you type ‘no match’ in the description, you can prevent those “cheeky beta breaks”!

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Ahhh sweet, yes I’d seen that but not thought to add it here. Thanks for pointing it out

[@lachlanpower9482]

Could you send links to where you bought the adjustable board and the Tension board 2 in aus?

You can find the info on the board here climbicp.com/au/climbing-walls/icp-home-wall/ :)

[@joolsgrommers1466]

“Oeh, that’s hard” Must be the main sentence when setting board moves.. Saud it myself, seen all the videos. 😂 Somehow loads of those moves get done pretty quick. Cool how fast we learn movement.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Crazy how quickly they can go from ‘impossible’ to done. I’m always blown away

[@joolsgrommers1466]

@@TomOHalloranAus On the other hand, plenty of moves on Moonboard/Kilter which still stump me 5+ sessions in. 😅😭😅

Haha yep!

[@JulianBarnett1981]

How do you like the holds and climbing style vs the moonboard? I currently have a moonboard but have been struggling with injury after injury at 43yrs old and have started looking into the TB2 as an alternative. I'm going to try it locally (in Denver) this week but curious what your thoughts are vs the moonboard and how much better this is for warming up too. Great content keep it coming!

[@TomOHalloranAus]

I totally feel you on the Moonboard finger problem. If I want to tweak a finger, I pull on the Moonboard a few times. Even when I keep the session comfortably sub max. I haven’t done tons on the TB2 so far, but it feels so much better on my fingers. There’s diversity in grip types and movement possibilities that the MB just doesn’t have. For me, so far, the TB2 is a much healthier finger option.

[@JulianBarnett1981]

@@TomOHalloranAus Awesome man thanks for the reply and feedback. I've loved my moonboard (multiple hold sets) for many years but getting real tired of the injuries mostly related to climbing on it. If there's a better training tool that's less injurious I'm all for it. Can't wait to try the TB2 on Friday. Cheers!

[@jeffeyanderson]

Yo Tom, out of curiosity what kind of mobility you got? Whats your middle & front splits , pancake etc like?

[@TomOHalloranAus]

no idea how to measure them or what a pancake is. but im naturally very mobile

@@TomOHalloranAus Be cool to see some benchmarks of your mobility. Feel likes its where most my gains have been in the past year.

@@TomOHalloranAus no stress of course, enjoying the board froth and all the content regardless 🙂

[@serwiki]

Is it possible on your project after the first left black hole to cross over with your right hand to the other black pinch skipping the right one? Idk if it's possible, you might need to get your right foot a bit higher.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

I tried. Not doable for me. The slopers are too bad and the foot isn’t helpful haha

[@HatoriHanzo1]

How big is this board? It looks smaller than the Moonboard

[@TomOHalloranAus]

10 x 8. 2 feet shorter than moon

[@le1vodkaseller575]

Bot as seasoned of a TB climber as I, who forgets matching is allowed on regular climbs because all the climbs on tb1 are no match.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Haha there's a trick!

[@bragoss4290]

i think that you'll never touch your regular board ever again 😂

[@TomOHalloranAus]

I leant a piece of timber against it the other day. Does that count?

[@oliverdenford6214]

I'd say it's widely accepted that matching on Any TB is not aloud unless otherwise stated !

[@ComputerManDanMiller]

You can say no matching when you create a climb to tag it that way, it's allowed by default.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Yes, have since learnt about the ‘no match’ button when setting
