Yellow V4 - Wide Gaston Move
Went to the gym yesterday, again. Wanted to get on the MoonBoard to try to win my own contest, but it was busy, again. :(.
First world problems, right? Oh well. I managed to do a little bit of climbing, but it was quickly apparent how tired my body is starting to get. We're pushing into week 11 -- just a couple weeks shy of our performance window. All this bouldering is starting to add up.
This is a shot of me after I managed to stick a BIG move. Started with both hands where my left hand is, then pulled hard and had to dynamically land a thin right hand Gaston grip, with some delicate footwork following to move over. By far one of the hardest (and funnest) V4's I've nailed to date.
What are some hard moves that stuck in your mind after you managed to dial them in?
Nothing like a good gaston.
One of my favorite routes Ive ever completed will always stick with me. It has a bathang in the middle and then moves to a 45° wall with some huge dynamic moves. Its a looong v7 that spans 2 walls
That sounds super rad. You like those bat-hangs hey? Any route that starts sneaking in some cheeky heel / toe hooks and some big burly moves is always super fun for me.
Heel hooks have always been some of my fav moves. I also really love a good stem route
