🧐Newschool competition bouldering is like: very talented athletes vs. 4min of: figuring out, how to create momentum from a stable position, and move with controlled momentum into the next (hopefully) stable position.
I had the pleasure to prepare the strongest youth climbers of Leipzig for the German bouldering nationals, at , setting 8 problems in one day for a competition simulation. The starting field was from around 6 years to 18 years. Off course we put some extra holds in first round for the small kids. In the Video you see some of the problems, for the bigger competitors like and .
Off course it was a big challenge, actually an almost “impossible to solve” thing! How can you set dynamic moves, for a range of athletes who have immense bigger differences in body shapes than adults?! ... the key is: unstable starting positions. Big structures help as well, so everyone can find his sweet spot!
My favourite moment was definitely: the mic master himself, participated at the simulation to push those kids in a real competition mode! Unfortunately I missed filming his ABSOULTE IMPRESSIVE sent of the big red „pogo kick into open door“, jumping with 💯 commitment to the top, in the very very last second! 🔥
Thanks so much for this great experience! I can’t believe there is still sooooo much to learn, invent, improve and try in this wonderful artful work 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Holds: mostly and some and a lot of oldschool holds for a nice competition feeling-mix
Hope you like the poor special effects 😂🙈🤞wettkampfklettern leipzig
