Training with an 8C+/V16 Boulderer • Aidan Roberts and Jim Pope Board Climbing
Спорт
This week we've got something a little different... British winter isn't the most reliable for conditions, so often you end up having to change your plans on the day. In this particular case, we had planned on a big day out on the Staffordshire Gritstone, only to find everything wet...
So instead we settled for crimping on small pieces of wood underground. It was a good laugh and some disgustingly hard moves were done so the day was far from being wasted.
The video doesn't do justice to quite how bad some of these holds are, but then again I guess they're about what you'd expect from possible the strongest set of fingers in the world...

Aidan's got his own woodie. It would be awesome to see a sesh in his place. Great video.

Man. I wish i could train that much without my body breaking. 3/4 board sessions + hangboarding and off the wall stuff, and i don't doubt a cheeky sesh outside or two. Jealous of that training history.

What is the brand of the holds? Because most of the holds have a branding with an W (kinda looking like the shape of an W) on it. Nice Video and greetings from Germany.
@WEDGECLIMBING

Thanks! There's a big mix, I think the ones with W are 'Hardwood Holds'
What hold company would you recommend for people in the US? I’m looking for some crimps and pinches for a 45 deg wall but I can’t find a good brand
@WEDGECLIMBING
Жыл бұрын
I would imagine a lot of the brands used on this board might be quite expensive to get in the US. Probably beastmaker would be the best option and they have a pretty wide range of holds
Love the dingy cellar setup! Do you know what deg the board is?
