MOONBOARD VIDEOS

Train power for boulders and cruxes!

Here you can check out the beta for some cool Moonboard problems, and follow me as I progress through the grades. I was stuck on the Moonboard 6C+ level for over a year, but systematic hangboard strength training allowed me to break into the 7B+ range in under a year!

Try the strength training protocols described in detail on this site, and break into the grades you always wanted to climb!

New Noise 7A/V6 BM, another classy #moonboard problem by @splittip ! It's got a bit of everything, #endurance, #strength, #technique, and #power. Some say it's soft, and maybe it is if you're able to keep your right foot on F7 to reach F16, as I saw many people do it @kylo_js . Anyway, I remember trying it back in 2018, and for some reason, I just kept barn-dooring off the left edge of the board. This time it went fairly smoothly, so I guess I must have improved something... #indoorbouldering #climbing #rockclimbing #climbingtraining #boulderinglife

What happens if you stop #training on the #moonboard for six months? Nothing happens - provided that you have a good #hangboard #strengthtraining plan. I stopped moonboarding in February because of the lockdown, but I stuck to my regular training routine, which included a combination of weighted #hangs and #endurance #repeaters. I managed to maintain my finger strength, and I believe that I improved it in some of the hold positions. I also took more time to work on my shoulder stability, which seems to have paid off. The only aspects of my performance that suffered are the explosive strength and finger contact strength - those are more difficult to train on the hangboard. During my first session, after returning to the Moonboard, I managed to send two 7A+ and one 7A, which, even in February, would have been a decent result for me. If you've been away from #bouldering for some time now, you can gauge your current strength level with the Finger Strength Analyzer (link in bio). #trainhard #climbhard #climbingismypassion #strengthclimbing

Bouncing Around 7A+/V7 BM, one of the most popular #moonboard problems on the 2017 set. For me, the wide move to J13 was the toughest. No amount of #halfcrimp #strength was enough to get this one done. What helped to send this one was #pinchblocks training and #scapular #pullups to strengthen the shoulders and enable those wide reaches. That goes to show that you're as strong as your weakest link. . . . #strengthclimbing #bouldering #trainhard

First move is hard and the rest is classic - seems solid for the grade. . . . #strengthclimbing #moonboard #moonboardproblems #bouldering #rockclimbing #climbingtraining

Another very enjoyable 7B on the #moonboard. Unfortunately not #moonboardbenchmark, and possibly a little soft, but not one to be overlooked! . . . #bouldering #boulderinglife #climbingtraining #trainhardclimbharder

That's what happens when you fixate yourself on bad beta! A simple problem can become a serious struggle. I was sure that I wouldn't be able to reach H15 with my left foot still on C7 - I didn't even bother to check! This made the boulder feel like at least a 7B. It took a fellow climber with a fresh outlook, to point out the error of my ways. With the right beta, the boulder felt more like a 6C+. To be fair, for shorter climbers, my initial approach could still be the only solution. The takeaway: 1. If you're stuck on a project, make sure to reevaluate your beta every once in a while. 2. It's easier to climb with a partner who can pinpoint your mistakes and tell you when you're doing something silly! . . . #moonboard #strengthtraining #strength #strong #stupidstrong #badbeta #bouldering @splittip #strengthclimbing

This is my first 7B+ on the Moonboard, but I'm afraid it's a bit soft...Some people grade it 7C, some people give it a solid 7B, but actually the crux move is the same as the one in the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON 7A BM - the rest is only slightly more difficult. 7A+ BM then? Idk, it was a lot of fun anyway 🙂 #moonboard

This is me butchering THE MINISTRY OF LOVE 7A by @splittip ... I guess this should fall under the anti-beta category! First go that night, so I didn't have it dialed in. Still, it felt hard for me, and it took me some months to finally do it 🙂 #moonboard

My first 7B benchmark on the 2017 set, albeit a bit on the soft side. Funny enough, 2 years ago I could already do some of Ben's 7Bs on the 2016 yellow holds, despite being so much weaker! But then again, I always liked crimps 🙂 #moonboard #trainhard

It may not look like much, but the first time I tried this problem was in Sept. 2018. Since then, I've been giving it a go from time to time, but to no avail - until now. The second move is brutal, and the grade is imho pretty stiff. Not sure if I got the beta right though. Still, fun to do!

It's ridiculous how much time it took me to send this crap! In the beginning I even thought I would have to learn how to do a one arm pull-up... #moonboard

Well, this one was tougher than it looks... Matching the top hold was the crux.

DARK SIDE OF THE MOON 7A/V6 BM Sticking to a training program really pays off. Just had a great #moonboard session, sending 6 long time projects in one evening! Here's one of them.

Finally sent CHERRY BOY V6/7A BM. After an 8-week cycle of Bechtel's Ladders it actually felt rather easy. Looks like training paid off!
