Note that the special hold is not coated it’s just smooth plastic. There are also holds with smooth and rough plastic called dual-Tex. I hate it.

Yanik is always so impressive with his strength and his problem solving skills. Incredible athlete

And then there's Jakob Schubert who gracefully licked his hand

He washed the chalk off. He did not do it with wet hands. You can see him drying his hands off. He cleaned the chalk off because it was causing him to slip off the smooth hand hold. He dried them off after getting rid of the chalk and the started. Your fingers have a surprising amount of grip if you know how to use them. Chalk makes your hand more slippery, but usually, it doesn't matter because rock is porous enough to make up for it, and a chalked hand/finger is less slippery than sweaty wet hands. That's why as soon as he passed the slippery hold, he immediately re-chalked his hands.

small correction (sorry if im sounding like a know-it-all) the hold is not coated, just *very* smooth plastic.

Actually chalk smooths the microscopic grooves in our palms decreasing grip on smooth surfaces but as rocks are rough therefore is does not apply to them. That PLATFORM was smooth so the microscopic grooves actually helped him more than the chalk.

Hope this helps!

He trains in our gym! Super humble guy. Really nice. And a bit shy :D

[yeetboy]

He is the only person who can put "problem solving skills" on his resume

[fxyo]

He's not only developed incredible stamina and strength, but also trained his brain in problem solving. Adapting to the situation was a key to his success!

The blonde girl is Janja Garnbret slovenian climber and the GOAT of all GOATS.

[franzii_thelobbyhoe]

This is understanding what u do and be in the subject. Respect

[Kongguderod]

That blonde girl is a pretty decent climber herself 😅

[Vivienne-ol]

besides him figuring out the water chalk switch .... dayum his climbing/gripping skillz are amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[primoziskra]

Janja is like "come on boys, do i have to show you".

[arizeokafor]

I dont believe he used the moisture from washing his hands. He just needed to get the chalk off so he could have a firmer grip on the smooth plastic.

[harmonicresonance]

Indoor rock climbing humbled me big time 😂
I thought it would be easy.

[Alaskan-Armadillo]

Honestly thats mad cool! I wish there were more sports where you had to innovate.

The “added special coating” to make the hold slippery isn’t anything added at all. In fact, it’s just missing the granular mixture that’s added to the resin that coats holds adding texture to the holds.
So it’s missing something, not added.
