Gene Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 http://www.norope.com/vids.php?mov=Petzlfinals.mov I've climbed an indoor wall once, and I can only thank my grip training for "hanging" (no pun intended) with guys who climb for fun regularly. Anyway thought you guys might enjoy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Ten Ox Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 At norope.com check out the video competition. The winner is "Hueco, by Andrew Root." That's me climbing. I'm the one with my shirt off most of the time. My friends and I shot the video and Andrew edited it. Thank you, thank you very much.

Starkmann Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 nice on all the vids. Was that french rap music in Hueco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Ten Ox Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Yeah, we spent a lot of time with some Parisian climbers who suggested that it might go well with our video. Can't remember the name off the top of my head but I could find out if you like. The same guy who gave us the music is the only guy who could close a # 2 first try no set btw. Very strong water in France apparently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggymountainmuscle Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 That makes me want to do some climbing. Would be great for working on the one arm pullup and my finger tip strength which I am trying to bring up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revtor Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 So what are the best two exercises to carry over to climbing ya think?? Besides actually climbing. Obviously these guys are fit and have total full body strength, but focusing on the lower arms. . judging by the video, there are alot of open palm, friction type looking holds (slopers) so strong wrists are key (plate curls) and I guess you need steel fingertips plain and simple. Campus boards and pullups on door molding aside. Maybe wide pinch to work the tippy tips? plate curls and wide pinch? Anyone else? ~Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdude Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 bouldering and climbing fingerboards will do more than any other training. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Ten Ox Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Yeah I think you're right actually. I have been using my hangboard and block weights and when I go bouldering once a week I feel STRONG, which is not usual unless I am bouldering everyday. Funny to see this video again two years later haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
