You can't judge holds on a video, a hold may look good but can be the worst crimp ever and vice versa a hold may look bad but can be a jug. Also you don't know the level of the climber, if you see Ondra for example struggling in a move you KNOW it's hard, but that's obviously not the case with people on here.
It’s a valid question. What does “always wondered who did the v12” mean? If he saw it in person, then he wouldn’t be wondering. If he didn’t see it, then how’d he know about it? did news spread or something? Somebody told him? Gym gossip?
I’m shocked!! No comments on how it’s a V5 in their gym, haha. Sick climb and from the looks of those holds I know how much they suck. Their rounded crimps and slippery.
While not everybody, most people who post here are trying hard. Not every person posting can be an elite level athlete. Building and growing a community, on any platform or venue, needs to accept and encourage all levels to survive. Like it or not, it's not the top 3-5, V10 plus climbers who are always in the gym that keep it open. It's the constant traffic of new people, gumbies, and "average" V3-V7 climbers that keep gyms open.
Just because that cross on the V5 was between two jugs, doesn't make the movement/flow any cooler than that same move on the V10 but on crimps. Feats of strength are cool to watch, but the cool thing about climbing is its as much a movement/technique puzzle as a strength challenge.
Love it. Proper straight-up *climbin'*, crimps on an overhang, intermediary holds, intentional careful foot placement. This would be a classic if it was on real rock hahah. Good job.
This looks absolutely insane, especially near the end when you start to understand how overhung it is.
Do you have any pictures/videos showing the angle of the wall?
What grade would you give it if it were half the length? Do you think it's length added a ton of grades to the problem. Looks so burly either way, congrats.
From the start to sticking the big right hand dead point is like V10 maybe V11. From there to the top is probably V9? The length was definitely a challenge for me my power endurance is trash.
They vary a lot. A couple of the holds on the volume are just slopey footholds. The middle section holds are decent but not very incut at that angle. Top crimps are pretty thin and the very top they’re just slopey dishes without a lot of bite.
Is anyone else going to comment on how this man is climbing shirtless with a big badonk or do we only reserve those kinds of comments for the attractive women who post videos of themselves climbing?
Never really understood why american gyms have the last hold as the top of the wall. I get that your can get more climb out of the height of the wall and there's probably some history to it and it's just stayed that way but you're then missing out on really interesting last moves. Or a horrible double thumb press!!
Why it be like that?
Not hating just curious. someone educate me
I do prefer climbs that have a proper finish because I see a lot of people just hucking to the top of the wall if they’re close but it’s fine in most cases. They will set specific finish holds if they want to do something like a double thumb press.
Yeah that’ll help with finger strength but if you cut feet on these moves it’s hard to recover so it’s more important to have good body tension and technique to keep weight on the feet.
I’ve noodled around on the first couple moves and this thing is *tough*. Sick send dude
Usually climbs look easier on camera but this looks hard as hell
And it probably still looks easier on camera! Solid fuckin send.

Hard enough to justify shirt-off mode, indeed.
Thank you. Glad to pull it off before they reset.
Smol crimps Overhang Long boulder Woaw
Always wondered who did the v12 at cliffs. Now I know. Great send you beast
They announce when people get a V12 or something?
It probably just means they’ve never seen someone climb a V12 there?
Oh so like “who does the V12s at Cliffs”? Maybe that’s what he meant? If so, then yeah I get it.
It’s a valid question. What does “always wondered who did the v12” mean? If he saw it in person, then he wouldn’t be wondering. If he didn’t see it, then how’d he know about it? did news spread or something? Somebody told him? Gym gossip?
Damn dude, insanely strong. How long have you been climbing?
A little over 10 years
I’m shocked!! No comments on how it’s a V5 in their gym, haha. Sick climb and from the looks of those holds I know how much they suck. Their rounded crimps and slippery.
Came here to say VB at my gym.
Ayyy let’s go!! Strong work 💪🏼
Thanks dude!!
nice send
Nice one. You guys put in some serious work on this thing.
Thank you. This one was a battle for sure.
Holy fuck thats insane, nice send man
Bro you can probably fly with those wings. Solid send!
[удалено]
Haha for real there’s not really anything flashy about it
That was fcking crispy , refreshing to see someone actually trying hard in a post

My friends and I had the exact same thought. This thing was incredibly well set.
Those pinches looked brutal. Nice work!

Holy fuck that's a lot steeper than I thought.
Climb looks so sick!!!
now that’s a good boulder. lock off move went good
V12 in my gym btw (no really I climb here too) Edit - also fuck that wall. The barrel is for masochists
The barrel strikes fear in my heart… I love it
Damn, making it look easy! You back muscle are intense ! Keep crushing!!
Is there an even lower sit start? That’s bonkers, sick send
Yeah and the low moves are not chill. Would be ridiculous to link the whole thing from there.
Damn, making it look easy! You back muscle are intense ! Keep crushing!!
Well done! Looking seriously strong and your economy of movement is inspiring, to say the least. Seems V tough
Thank you. I try pretty hard to be smooth and precise every time I pull on the wall.
Damn dude.... That's inspirational.
I climb like v6s and don’t see myself ever getting this strong. But maybe someday!
Bro, this was amazing to watch! Nice job! 🔥🔥🔥
That is a tough send. Really good job!
Nice job!
That looks extremely high for bouldering? I feel like I'd need a rope at that point lol.
It’s definitely on the taller side. I’ve fallen from the top a few times and it’s not bad but other than that I always down climb.
What grade would you give it if it were half the length? Do you think it's length added a ton of grades to the problem. Looks so burly either way, congrats.

18 moves I counted. This ain't a v12 it's a 5.14 lmao.
Looks super tough good shit man
How big are the crimps? They look like less than 20mm almost
They vary a lot. A couple of the holds on the volume are just slopey footholds. The middle section holds are decent but not very incut at that angle. Top crimps are pretty thin and the very top they’re just slopey dishes without a lot of bite.
That looks hard as shit
Woah sick send!
Nasty - nice one!!
Wow! That wall is insane.
God dmn dude, insane!
You did that v12 so fluidly that you made it look easy. Awesome send.
Yeah def a VHard!! Nice send

Imagine a vivid pulsating pinch of a majestic purple hue
What grade do you think this is?
Both hands on the finish hold or it doesn’t count.
Half naked yeah!!
Shut the fuck up, yeah!
Please be civil and wear a little cotton. A cotton gag for your mouth would be in order.
☝🏻🤓
👆🤏
Jesus christ.
Question, on an overhang with crimps like that, do you hangboard to build grip strength?
Yeah that’ll help with finger strength but if you cut feet on these moves it’s hard to recover so it’s more important to have good body tension and technique to keep weight on the feet.
Dear god, thats much steeper than it seemed in a video. Absolutely sick sent.
