Small fingers make small holds feel relatively better because a larger percentage of your finger pad is on them, but if larger fingers can access their full surface area (ie on a larger hold) then there will be more total friction, so wide fingers if you can fit all 4 will have better friction - it just won't feel as solid compared to even deeper holds

@TheTonVeron

Жыл бұрын

@@spokanespray I dont think that's correct. Friction does not depend on surface area, just normal force and the coefficient of friction. A larger surface area will distribute the force over a larger area, decreasing the pressure on the fingers. This is in an ideal situation with two rigid bodies, and may not be 100% accurate in practice with fingers which deform when a force is applied. But I think the lower pressure would be perceived as easier.

It would be cool to put burden on an adjustable wall from like -10 to 45 degrees and get a consensus grade for every single angle. Then you could sort of "define" each grade on the V scale from 0 to 17 by how hard a specific angle of Burden of Dreams is. Obviously grades are way too subjective to actually try and use something like that as a definition but it would at least be interesting to see, especially the graph of V grade vs angle to see what sort of shape the V scale takes. Or maybe people have already done this with existing climbs on the moonboard/kilterboard, if so please drop a link to the results.

This was fucking insane to watch. It really puts into perspective just how strong all the climbers who have done/almost done burden are. Like the fact that they can’t even hold onto the holds from a static position is mind boggling, and they themselves are incredibly strong. This is just fucking ridiculous

A V2 SORRY WHAT

It‘s crazy how much strength a v17 recquiers. And I have to say that I was blown away by Pete‘s performance on this boulder in his last video. Anyway great work on that one. Setting the vertical version of Burden with those small footholds was really making the difference. I would love to play around with those 3d printed replica holds as well.

Plus he's out in Norway or in Sheffield quite a bit it seems. Although if he did it, he wouldn't be able to remain a dark horse crusher- which is maybe his whole modus.

Long time lurker, this was an awesome idea. Thank you for the content. Enjoyed every minute of it.

Loved putting this on a vert wall, what a cool idea. I wish you tried it with exact Burden beta the way Will did it - especially placing the right foot way out right before moving up to the second to last “jug”. Amazing stuff either way!!!

Watching someone insane I respect and admire as much as Emil try the replica and struggle with it really put into perspective just how fucking crazy this boulder is and how insane Will and Aiden's first attempts were

I absolutely hate bad footholds, but i take them all day over boulder problems with little to no footholds at all so i guess the vertical one doesn't look THAT bad even for a newbie like me. Nice video :)

Great video Emil! I'm at most a 6B+/6C climber and wish I could have a go at the vertical version haha :D Looking forward to your next one!

this was so rad! bosi's entire method of training for this boulder was so interesting and it seems like one of the only cases where you might be able to apply this type of technology for training. just goes to show how much training for hard climbing had changed in the last decade alone, and how much the boundaries can be pushed in the future. (p.s.-- i'd kill to hop on the "burdenless dream" on slab, seems so cool!)

Such a fire video!!

I was hoping to see something like they play with angles and see how much of an angle they can do. I would really like to see them try it at a 10 or 20 degree angle

The version with bad footholds seems like good fun and good training :)

To me, it looks harder than v2. V3 or v4 maybe. Tbe big moves with the crimps make it seem harder, but id have to climb it in order to say exactly how difficult i think it is. Really cool video!! 😀😀😀

Agree with everyone else, having this on an adjustable wall would super fun. Would be crazy to try 5° increments and see just how much it changes. I guess I could try this with an adjustable Moonboard and a random problem too

Fascinating stuff

I've been climbing for almost twenty years. Still not my main sport, but something I do weekly. I'm a fairly solid F7 climber. I went to check out Burden when I was out and about around there. I could not even hang from any hold on that rock. It's so brutal, videos don't do it justice.

Best vid you've put out IMO. Good content

Sick, super fun setup. :D Little heads up that the foot for the first move is not the one straight underneath but all the way left. And if I remember correctly on move 4 a drop knee is not useable on the real thing

Thats still not a V2. V4 maybe.

@EmilAbrahamsson

Truthfully I would give myself an incredibly low chance at becoming strong enough for Burden, even in several years. The style is what I'd call my anti-style, so I don't think my body could adapt in just a years time for such a hard, specific problem. I'd be very psyched though, would love to try it on various angles and see how much I could progress. I think I could do it at 30 in not too long, but once it gets to around 40 I just wouldn't know how to move anymore :P

the harder version of the easy version looked amazing. Definitely retained the "feel" of the real thing a lot better. Very fascinating. Question: do you think training a replica on a lightly less steep angle, but with worse feet could be an effective way to train for the real boulder. So maybe not as extreme as this putting it on a vertical wall. But just decreasing the angle 15 degrees, switch out the feet for slightly worse ones. That way you retain the body tension feel of the boulder and can just work up to the full angle as your body learns the moves.

I think they're giving it an outdoor grade of V2. Indoor grades are all over the place and are typically easier than outdoor especially at v0-v4

It's the same thought I had when I visited the original. The handholds are actually pretty okay. It's just the extreme angle that makes it almost impossible.

Cool idea with this video

Looks like you didn't set the right left foot starting hold. The original one is higher up and more on the left.

Started climbing for the first time yesterday and I remember seeing a burden of dreams replica on one of the walls and laughed My friend who came with me asked if we should try it and I said "that's the hardest boulder in the world pal" and he just walked off lmao

Interesting how much of a difference the gradient makes, At my local gym the moonboard is at 45 degrees rather than the normal 40 but have no idea how much of a difference this actually makes

Would be a v4 in my gym. At this point. Put it on a wall that changes angle and do it at every angle

We have the same replica at my gym in gothenburg and you don't get a good feel for how hard it is and how strong they are. we have it on a 20 degrees wall and it's like the wall is telling you NO go home, the real on is 40 degrees! OMG

Good video but that really does not look like a V2. Shows how difficult it is for high grade climbers to grade low grades. They have really good finger strength and strength to weight ratio and were trying the overhanging version shortly before. Still looked like they were putting in good effort to do it. I think they have limited idea what it’s like for lower grade climbers to climb that.

@EmilAbrahamsson

I think lower grades have an absolutely massive discrepancy (as do higher grades). We were both comparing this to Fontainebleau which serves a large amount of vertical climbs, and there I'd say V2 is probably quite spot on. However, close to Sweden there's an island called Åland with pretty generous vertical grades, and there it'd be more like V4 I believe. It always depends on what you're comparing to I think. That being said, you might be right anyway, hard for me to say :P

The first left foot old is wrong, you should use the one on the left. Great video by the way !

The vertical version looks super fun!

Not only climbing angle changed, the holds angle is also changed. Maybe 3D print 40deg spacers and put between wall and the holds. That would only change climbing angle, but the difficulty of the holds should remain the same.

I live how it says will bosi pretty ok climber 😂😂😂

It would be cool to try like 7a graded replica of burden on kilter board, some of us don't climb 8a lol

You think it would be a good exercise to gradually increase the gradient by 5 degrees and increase when you feel comfortable with the current gradient and eventually work towards that 45 degrees?

I can't tell you how many times I've thought about thus

Is the KB rep posted? It said not found even though it comes up in the search.

Emil falling off the replica really shows how hard the moves are but also how strong some of the other climbers are far even doing 1 of the moves 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼respect for everyone

This was interesting.

Is the burden of dreams set available to buy ? Id love to have a go

Going off of Pete’s vid, I thought the low foot was off?

First person to flash Burden waaaaht?!! 😂😂

5:09 that was a fart...goes to show how difficult it is

I'm expecting within six months gyms will be able to buy copies of the burden holds, and we'll see variations popping up in gyms everywhere. Burden of slab, burden rotated thirty degrees to the right.

I have a home moonboard set closer to 45 degrees to fit in my garage, some problems feel absolutely desperate for the grade. I wonder how much the difficulty would change at each angle, would the difference between 35 and 40 be much bigger than the difference between 15 and 20. What about if it was angled in on a slab.

@CeNoTiX Gaming, I got the 2016 set because it was the cheapest, and I can buy more holds to change it in the future. For the holds, bolts, and T-nuts from Moon, it was £908 plus £67.5 shipping to Ontario, Canada. The framing used seven 2"x6"x12' boards, some 2x4s for blocking and the kicker, then 3/4" sheets of ply, and a coat of paint. I already had the plywood, screws, and paint. I also got double the number of T-nuts and skipped the lighting system. In total, I spent approximately $2000 Canadian after tax. A gym membership is $850 a year here, and I am only starting to go again now. So it's mostly paid for itself in saved gym memberships. But I have noticed my climbing is very weak in the gym style now. I used to be V7 in the gym and V5 on the Moonboard, now I can do some V7s on the Moonboard and V5s in the gym 😅. I also didn't get the board until Summer 2022, so I didn't get to climb for 2.5 years...

The company that printed the holds should re-use their scans and sell the set online, this video shows how versatile the holds are. I think a lot of climbing gyms could make use of them, not just as a training tool for the top 0.0001% of climbers, but just as interesting holds to create a variety of problems with, and set replicas on varying grades.

It would be interesting, if you guys could drop it incrementally 5 degrees at a time all the way to 40. I wonder what it feels like at 20 or even 10 degrees.

As a Finn I'm debating with myself if I should go and try the real boulder. First as it is and then jack it up to vertical to make it a bit easier 🤔

Maybe my gym needs to re-evaluate what a V2 is.

Seeing Emil get pummeled like this on a boulder feels just wrong. Like there should be no boulder that someone this strong gets this destroyed on. The potential of this sport is truly endless

I'd take a whole series of you walking up and trying the v16s and v17s and just repeatedly saying "that's so hard" and telling us how shit the holds are!. What a great watch!
