mrgilly (04/23/2014) [-] Keep in mind, I'm 90% sure this dude was featured on Stan Lee's Superhumans show. If I remember correctly, he is an incredible climber because the muscles in his body are stronger, in terms of power generated compared to size, than that of an average human, especially ones that aren't usually strong like in the hand and wrist.

Okay so I've been a climber for a couple of years, and I can tell you two things
1: that's not a common climbing move:
2: It's done by something called "a jam", basically, he inserts his hand in a crack, then balls it up into a fist, causing it to become jammed in there, he then kicks his feet above his head, and using impressive ab muscles, lifts his free hand up to get a hold of the previously unreachable hold.
Basically, by putting weight on his balled up fist while he kicks up, and then actually pulling the hand OUT (or trying, since it won't come out, it's jammed), and pushing his feet INTO the wall, he allows for enough friction to lift his core weight
I can also tell you that while flashy it's very ineffective =)

angelious ONLINE (04/23/2014) [-] well i would rather find alternative route. i haventh really done too much of mountain climbing so dunno any other move...just using your feet more than hands is safer in mountain climbing(with hands just used for stability rather than actually pushing you up)

I'm not sure what you mean by tool-less
He's only using chalk and shoes to the best of my knowledge?

Aight, so there's to my knowledge no shenanigans involved here
Pickaxes are mainly used for ice climbing, I can't see him having it and I honestly can't see one being effective here
The main reason I say this is "ineffective", is one of the key parts of climbing is that you want to have your body as close to the wall as possible.
The closer you are to the wall, the better balance you will have, and the better balance you have, the less likely you are to slip
When you do a spin like that with the feet above your head and everything, it looks super cool, but you're also pushing your weight SOOOO far out from the wall, resulting in the fact that he's now in a situation where A: he uses TWICE the amount of core muscles to maintain control of his body (because his balance is so far out, if he has to catch a hold of a small grip, he will need precision, and since he has no balance, he has to compensate with seeeeerious muscle strength), OR he can attempt to "fling himself" at the grip, which is also a bad decision because he'd 1: only get one shot, if he misses he'll fall because no way you can land back on the wall when your feet originate over your head..

Better explaination than i had. Basically its insane core strength, and having a supiror grip and center of gravity. he could have done the same by a short hop, but that would sacrifice his handhold.
IN other news, funny thing, now done with my coursework, i'm climbing towers for ericsson. Kind of related, with the freeclimbing and whatnot. Its a hobby for those of us who dont hate the climbing part of our job, and some of the ground (EF&I) guys who like climbing

Yeah looking at it again there's not much room for a jam, but that would be one hell of a hold for an underkling :j I just sort of assumed that a jam would be the easiest way of doing it :j

Honestly it's hard to tell you because I don't have an idea of what the route looks like up close, since y'know I've never actually climbed it and you can't see that much of it.. But presumably he had about the right idea when he attempts the leap for the hold, otherwise I'd look for some way to get my foot in or around he hand-hold then "standing up" on the one leg.
The problem with this method is, that it takes your center of balance wayyyyy off the wall, which is one of those rules of thumbs that you want to avoid.. (also, the whole upside-down thing)
I'm not an expert on climbing but this move is just funky. Cool, but very wierd =)

tacoindeed (04/23/2014) [-] have you seen the dynos a dyno is a move where you sort of throw yourself at the hold professional climbers can make? im willing to bet if this guy put some effort into this he could do it
he only does it like that because it looks cool

herpitydorp (04/23/2014) [-] MFW he goes for the dyno. Dyno is short for dynamic move usually a complete jump off the wall to another hold. Any other climbers on funnyjunk?
#105 to #102
-
herpitydorp (04/23/2014) [-] Same here except I just stay strong enough so when I can make an outside trip I can enjoy a nice 5.12a on sport then go project a hard boulder problem later.
#107 to #106
-
herpitydorp (04/23/2014) [-] damn that sucks. If I had any advice I would say try and avoid closing off crimps whenever possible. I rarely close off my crimps unless its a super hard problem.
#109 to #107
-
onderdonk (04/23/2014) [-] believe me, I've tried everything. Even took a break for 6 months. Nothing. Best I can do is stuff some cotton balls between my fingers and C tape them to stabilize the joint, and then avoid crimps. It's ******** . Physical therapist says no damage, even did an ultrasound on my hand. It's just inflammation but it never goes away.

herpitydorp (04/23/2014) [-] man that's rough I try to keep good care of my hands so I don't end up like that and so far no problems yet. Just recently sent my first V10 and V11.
#111 to #110
-
onderdonk (04/23/2014) [-] nice, dude! it wasn't even a care thing, it was a freak accident. Fell on a boulder problem and just landed a little wrong. Bent my finger juuuuust right. you be aiight though. just remember to warm up your fingers and joints before climbing and use bag balm on your hands after you wash up
#113 to #111
-
herpitydorp (04/23/2014) [-] yeah one thing I am bad about is using anything to repair my skin. my joints and tendons are fine but my hands are like sand paper
#114 to #113
-
onderdonk (04/23/2014) [-] best thing in the universe. stinky as hell and a little greasy after you first put it on but ohhhhh man is it good for your skin. i used to rip calluses off all the time, then I started using this stuff and never had a problem. you can get it in any drug store. CVS or whatever.
Weirdly, my dick stopped feeling so chapped once I started using it on my hands

herpitydorp (04/23/2014) [-] Possibly alot of pro climbers use it so I thought I might give it a shot.
#123 to #121
-
onderdonk (04/23/2014) [-] meh. I used to work in a climbing gym, and a lot of "pro climber" stuff is just gear hype and sponsorship. i'd say compare the prices. a tin of bag balm cost around $7 last I recall and has enough to serve an entire gym's worth of people for about 6 months. see how much Giddy costs. I bet it's infinity times more.
#125 to #123
-
herpitydorp (04/23/2014) [-] Normally I would agree with you. But I actually got to talk to Jimmy Webb during ABS qualifiers and he said he loves it. He may do that just because of the sponsorship but I like to think he really does use it.

herpitydorp (04/23/2014) [-] 5 bucks doesn't seem too bad to me. I think I'll give the cheap stuff a try first.
#132 to #130
-
herpitydorp (04/23/2014) [-] I will! they are currently sold out of all the skin care balms unfortunately. Oh and my bad it was 5.95 so it's closer to 6 ish with shipping since I there aren't any distributors I know of around here.

Metallicock (04/24/2014) [-] I like to climb, but have never climbed stuff of the caliber you probably have. I'm probably as close to a beginner as it gets and only do it on occasion
#168 to #167
-
herpitydorp (04/24/2014) [-] well if you have a local gym, at least in my experience, it's super easy to make friends in the bouldering area and such. and having a friend to climb with definitely gets you to go climb more.
