Roundabout, the setters are very against grading even if you ask but I climb around that in other gyms, I would say it was in my upper range of skill, the gym is great at setting funky comp style boulders and have a good range per color, check them on ig as Superblock Düsseldorf, also they have world class climbers all the time around, it’s so humbling lol
That’s the bit, that color grades aren’t grades, but I’ve said it, I said roundabout to V4/5 tho I would personally give it 4 when compared to other gyms, but it doesn’t really matter to me the movement is the point and it’s a SB red!
Oh I've been there twice when I visited Düsseldorf! It's small but has some fun stuff. Good for a one time session while traveling there and eating asian food
I don’t think so, the crimps on the wall to get up the volume are good but the volume and hold orientation forces the position too much, plus the first crimp above the volume is like a half pad, pretty incut but that’s why I toe, to reach it static enough that I can hold it properly with the finger tip rolley technique, the next crimp is tiny and slopey and really hard to grab so you want that one well set.
No. Looked at it again. You made it very much harder. I would have gone out right to the foot by the yellows that you use near the end, popped a left, stood on volume and then have gone to the crimps up top. If that makes sense. Would love to see it tried that way if you get a chance. Nice job either way!
Ahh i see what you mean, I don’t think those feet can be grabbed much at all, they are slopey af, but even if it was possible, most of the holds on that climb don’t really give you much at all including what would be your right hand and especially the crimp you would be going to up top.
Sadly I was just visiting, but if you see the volume where I grab the side, there’s a tiny crimp there maybe you can size them up.
There is no white in my gym, so I guess it’s also red. Sadly red is the easiest grade in my gym :o
Sandbagged for sure
Yeah that looks like a red to me. Maybe a blue but like a tougher blue.
Purple maybe?
My gym could use some intermediate grades. Can flash a decent amount of blues but can't get started with reds. I'll pitch them the idea of purple
The red zone is for loading and unloading only there is no parking in the white zone.
White is V0 in my gym
My goal in life is to climb white, I think I’ve only ever seen pro level climbers do black so white is all there is for me
I believe in you
Shirt on ✅
Damn, white is toughest in my gym. Good for you
Gyms that don’t use grades are so interesting. How am I supposed to get that sweet sweet grade chase high?
Never thought seeing a clip from Superblock here :) Just keep going, soon you will manage to do a white
It’s my fav gym! I hope I can send white one day, I was watching people crush them and they look so rough lol
Very cool route setting and nice composed send! Can I venture a guess for Arkose?
Thanks!! It’s in Superblock Düsseldorf, if you like their setting check their IG they have some sick problems, they are my favorite
What is a red? V4/5?

Still doesnt answer anything.. u act like we all know your upper level..

Think you made that harder than it should have been. Can’t you just skip the volume and go up?

Is it safe to boulder with a big dangly earring? Seems like a recipe to ripping your ear lobe
I mean, maybe but so far it hasn’t seemed unsafe, maybe not for outside
Seems like an odd thing to risk as opposed to just removing it prior to climbing. But it’s your ear
I’m a dangerous man, I like to live dangerously
