Testing out DIY Climbing Holds... or something like that?

[@SendStory]

Drop a thumbs up and all that jazz if you want to help support this guy so I can afford to waste more premium (less hydrating) beverages on myself. Thanks for making it through all the clichés and showing some love.

[@DeformedLunchbox]

This is the most hardcore thing I've ever seen.... ...and I am a huge WWE fan.

[@SendStory]

Coming from you, that's a huge complement. We'll try to get more gore in the next one.

[@EricKarlsson]

Tor sent me this video, the first sentence after the link( "So fucking sick!!!), and I 100% agree! I can see all the details in the edit and the crazy amount of work with it. You legend!

[@SendStory]

Oh man, this means so much from you sir! Absolute honour. I have been subbed to you since the eeeaarly EKB days. Super stoked for you to stumble on over here. Thanks a lot for the kind words, it really does mean a lot!

[@EricKarlsson]

@@SendStory psyched that you enjoyed the videos for such a long time :) and I have seen your comments over the years, love the support

[@climberdad]

Flexing more than just your climbing muscles in this one 😎 Awesome skills

[@SendStory]

Haha, thanks a bunch!

[@sgiacomel]

This is definitely not the kind of video I would have watched if I didn't know all the background story but I totally enjoyed it, especially when alternated with more vloggy videos! Very good effects, good job!

[@SendStory]

Totally fair, thanks dude!

[@kiyashko86]

Watched all your videos about climbing! Thank you for making them!!! Cheers from Ukraine.

[@SendStory]

Cheers! Thanks for checking them out, glad you enjoyed them!

[@DieByDieProductions]

This is the best climbing video I have ever watched.

[@SendStory]

Thanks dude!

[@thisiseric]

This was... the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Appreciate the Mortal Kombat fatality at the end too! This is how to do a creative rock climbing video. DAMN! I just really want to see some behind the scenes videos of your neighbours looking out the window being like, WTF is Braeden doing this time?

[@SendStory]

Glad you stuck around to the end and dug it! Not entirely sure we can classify this as a rock climbing video, but there was definitely some climbing in there somewhere. Haha. Thanks, as always.

[@CourtneyWarren]

Holy smokes that was so freaking entertaining! The amount of sfx was insane, loved it!

[@SendStory]

Thank you very much for the complement, I am glad you found it fun!

[@RealWorldClimbing]

Oh MY!!! Loved it!!! And the metal!!!

[@SendStory]

Thank you sir! Appreciate it!

[@thisiseric]

I'm gunna share this in my climbing group chat because it deserves so many exploding eyeballs.

[@SendStory]

First time I've given two hearts to one person in the comments haha.

@@SendStory biggest fan

[@tommytoon18]

Great serie😊, thanks a lot for all the advice!!

[@SendStory]

No problem, glad you worked your way through it, hope it helps!

[@DJShaheedAD]

Great stuff dude!!!

[@wurfttobias]

Nice!!! This was definitely different than what I expected. :) I guess it was a lot of editing. Nice camera work!

[@SendStory]

Thanks a lot! Love your holds!

[@wurfttobias]

@@SendStory Thanks!

[@yeahbuddy5004]

Sick video. Hella metal. Love the head banging

[@SendStory]

Honestly, what metal montage is complete without some windmilling?

[@ryanbalan2087]

Great vids Braeden, love it bud!!!

[@SendStory]

Thanks. Miss you man, hopefully I'll see you outside in the spring!

[@camt1818]

Well shit...I need to go climb now. I don't think I've experienced a climbing hype video until now. Also, you look like a young Dave Grohl haha.

[@SendStory]

Haha, thanks, my dad, Dave Grohl, would appreciate that (just kidding). Thanks for the comment, now go pull on some holds!

[@ryukagai]

haha sick edits!

[@SendStory]

Glad you got a chuckle! Thanks!

[@austintrotta9417]

Incredible video, inspirational stuff, I’m going to make energy crisis my project

[@SendStory]

Thanks for the comment dude, appreciate it, and appreciate that you checked out other videos! Energy Crisis is such a fantastic problem and an obvious line on that boulder, definitely a fantastic choice. Good luck, you got it!

[@copycatlyn]

brother. fucking so sick. loved this lol. also, just gave me another pro of building my own climbing wall..... I CAN DRINK WHILE CLIMBING

[@SendStory]

I mean, it's the only way, you gotta stay hydrated, right? Thanks for the support and other comments, it's much appreciated! Hope you are having a good weekend!

[@nickjplace]

You kinda kick ass haha how does this have 1.3K views?! Plus the 3d scan stuff wtf!?

[@SendStory]

Haha, thanks man, I really appreciate it! KZbin is a tricky space, if it doesn't serve your video up, you simply don't get the views. I know a lot of people trying to build their channel have a decent network of friends and peers who watch and comment on their videos as soon as they are posted so youtube catches the momentum and starts sharing it more. I'm too introverted and don't want to bug people to do that. Hopefully more people like you feel like dropping some comments and such on my videos and they can grow. With that said, thanks again for the comment and checking the video out, I really do appreciate it!

[@EvanWisheropp]

Hell yeah

[@bondlesDH]

I'm gonna build my own wall soon enough.. But do you think this would be a better option than buying holds since they are fairly expensive?

[@SendStory]

By chance did you watch my series? or just this video? In the first video I kind of touch on this. It might be a good idea to watch that over if you haven't, but I'll try to give you the jot notes here if that helps save you some time. Essentially, it COULD be cheaper to make your own, depending on what you want, but to make it cheaper, you will probably want to make less molds (the most expensive part of the process) and end up with many of the same holds and it would probably lack variety. There is also a learning curve and you might find some of your holds are not that useful and your overall inventory might make your wall less inspiring/repetitive. If you were to want to save some money by making holds, stick to making foot-holds/foot-chips at first; they are more forgiving, require smaller molds and thus less material all around, and you don't care as much if they lack variety. My advice would be to look for some second-hand holds at a discount (check your local gym, because sometimes they get rid of old holds as they get new inventory, and check facebook groups and marketplace, etc.), and then make some wood holds, then buy a few sets of holds from one of the hold companies. When buying holds, look for cosmetic seconds (many companies sell these at a discount because of blemishes and imperfections that they don't want on display in commercial gyms) and look out for sales. With it being cyber Monday already (depending on where you live) today might be a good time to place some orders. I would also stick to ordering more small to medium holds for a home wall - you wont get the best use out of large holds or macros on a smaller home wall and you can always make holds/problems more 3d by making your own volumes to set on. Making your on holds is time consuming and when you build a wall you will be excited to climb on it and wont want to wait to set. So I think it is best to explore making holds once you have some time and energy to play around with it and can make your own holds to fill in the gaps in your wall that you are lacking with your existing inventory. Woah, that ended up being longer than I thought, hopefully you made your way through it and it helps you out! Again, check out the other videos if you haven't. Thanks for the comment!

[@bondlesDH]

@@SendStory Thanks alot for the reply, I will definitely look around for second hand holds.

[@rachelcannatelli834]

Are you on TikTok yet? I feel like you would become instafamous

[@SendStory]

Ha, not on there yet. But thanks for the suggestion, maybe I will!
