Best bouldering series on KZread, no question.

I LOVE seeing static moves in climbing. Being a tall climber I don't like to rely on dynamic moves, and it is soooo SATISFYING witnessing climbers that can pull off a hard move, yet linger there for a moment in moving to the next hold. In my opinion, that's a real display of prowess.

It's often the small things - you might struggle with a problem, and many times will you fail to see a way to achieve that next hold.. but then you just change something small and all of a sudden it's like you never had a problem to begin with - that, or you didn't see the humungous volume right in front of you lol.

“Shin muscles”

She's one of the best for sure! Honest question though regarding that boulder from the Adidas Rockstars. She was able to release the toe-hook opting for a slightly different beta than the other climbers. However, was she able to do that because she is better at toe-hooks, or because her insane core and finger strengths enabled her to take the momentum swing of the release and stay on the wall?

@Orynae

3 жыл бұрын

She also seemed shorter than the other climbers, some of them seemed like they weren't swinging totally out of control but just brushed the floor prematurely...

@AlbertOkay

3 жыл бұрын

It's a bit of both - releasing toe hooks slowly without swinging much is a very difficult skill. It's subtle, but very difficult. Often times the tension is so great that it's difficult to control it without slingshotting off. She was able to release it slow enough using core tensions - a crucial part of toe hooking and make the move.

I'm 100% sure that if you're pulling on a toe hook to prevent from falling off the wall then you're enacting a force onto the wall which in turn is creating potential energy - then converted to kinetic when you release the toe hook. I may not have a PHD in physics, but I'm 100% sure fighting gravity is an interaction with Newton's 3rd law.

@CJski

@@AlbertOkay Close. Using a toe hook does not change your potential energy. Moving higher or lower from the ground does. Newton's 3rd law has nothing to do with energy. Fighting gravity is not an example of N3L the way that you think it is. According to N3L, the Earth is applying the same gravitational force to you as you are to Earth.

@@CJski The entire premise of climbing is moving higher and lower/when you use a toe hook your center of gravity (hips) sag away from the wall causing a force to come outwards away from the wall. The toe hook fights that force by pushing the toe against the wall and creating force. If anything the mere act of pushing your toe into the wall is acting on the Third law.

The original use of the term Beta in climbing is generally attributed to the late climber Jack Mileski. "Beta" was short for Betamax, a reference to an old videotape format largely replaced by the VHS format.[3] According to some sources Mileski would record himself on tape while completing routes and then share these tapes with friends. According to other sources it was actually a play on words, as Mileski would often ask, "you want the beta, Max?".[7]

What does "break the beta" mean?

@AlbertOkay

3 жыл бұрын

Beta is climbing jargon that designates information about a climb.[1][2] The complexity of beta can range from a small hint about a difficult section to a step-by-step instruction of the entire climb.[1][3] In rock climbing this may include information about a climb's difficulty, crux, style, length, quality of rock, ease to protect, required equipment, and specific information about hand or foot holds. For mountaineering, beta may include information about the length and difficulty of the approach, availability of water on the climb and the approach, ease of exiting the route before completing it, descent information, perhaps even useful logistic information for climbs in foreign countries.[citation needed] Sometimes a beta is also drawn, in the form of a beta-map.[4][5] It is common for climbers to have different beta for the same climb. In other words, more than one possible solution that can get the climber to the top. These can vary in terms of difficulty. It is not uncommon for climbs to get downgraded in their difficulty rating once easier beta is discovered.[6]
