THE HARDEST MOVE IN CLIMBING

[@StoufSto]

Hardest move in climbing is actually warming up consistently.

[@Jagknorr]

Video idea: There was this kid at my climbing gym that would come in everyday and to warmup he'd climb around the whole gym without putting foot on the ground. Just free climbing every wall in one single horitonzal path. It was fun to watch because he would pass from the easiest flat walls to the 90° blocks. He knew the path so his movements were so smooth and calm but everyday the boulders would change so he had to adapt.

Honestly for video ideas I just enjoy watching you train and explain your training. It gives me ideas on things I should pay attention to at my own level. Maybe a few food things? What kind of diet you stay on to fuel your sessions could be one. If you do calorie tracking I'm curious how much that is for you. Maybe a video on things you do when you take rest days. Do you do active stretching to get your muscles back in shape? Do you just laze around? You could also just post videos of you climbing in general. You could look at a boulder and explain what you are thinking out loud to the camera before you climb it. That way, as viewers we know the kinds of things that catch your eye when you plan a boulder you've never done.

You could show us several warm up / technique games like: - fix holds for hands (or feet) and use feet (or hands) to rotate (decoupling limbs for beginners) - climbing without a certain limb (forces more dynamic style) - only allowed to use a hold after hovering 3 seconds (forces static style) - place poker chips on holds and climb without dropping them (ninja foot placement) - more It would probably be nice to see the three of you just have fun with something like that :)

Okay Magnus, here are a few video ideas: - Climbing in really warm clothes (ski suit maybe) - only allowed to campus - bouldering blindfolded - reaction videos maybe, where you react to climbing accidents/memes or scenes from movies - a food challenge, where you have to eat spicy or gross foods and then climb - a bouldering games video, where you try different bouldering games. (like touching the next hold with your foot before you can grab it with your hand) - climbing in slippery gloves - maybe more tutorial videos and exercises (footwork, dyno, slabs, etc.) (I know they are probably dumb ideas, but I wanted to help him out a bit, and maybe he can see them as an inspiration for other ideas)
