Being colorblind, having routes lit up instead would be amazing. Also I want to set a home wall but I'm obviously not a route setter. Being able to just match a template and light up routes that professionals have already set would be perfect.

You can tell how hard a problem is by how red Pete’s face is after climbing it. This needs to be its own grading index.

I definitely see the utility in the LED climbing walls-- they're super compact and can the problems can be essentially standardized throughout the world. However, I love that each climbing gym has unique walls as well. For example, I loved seeing Magnus climbed in the tiny Tokyo climbing gyms, and seeing how they make use of their space.

Since every climbing gym is a bit different, it feels like a new adventure in every climbing gym. I love that aspect

[WideBoyz]

I'd forgotten about that harness thing 😅 next video we'll work on tieing in Magnus 😂 classic!!

At 45° angle: "Now you have to pay attention on your feet" As in: "Before you could just campus it"

I'd be excited to have a wall like this in every gym, however, I'd still want almost 100 percent normal walls in a gym. Otherwise every gym would have exactly the same routes. I want to walk into different gyms and notice their route setter's creativity.

from pro climber to auto belay hero, what a journey

For anyone curious like me: the problem that they were working on the Kilter Board was "Subliminal Skull" 7a+/V7 @ 40º.

Yeah Magnus gaining like 1k subs every other day, big growth on the channel. When it reaches 10 mil one day we can say we the OG's

I love these walls, and think they're cool as hell. We'll keep seeing them crop up, but they won't replace route setting. There are so many types of holds and movements that you just can't have on those walls. Tricky volumes, big overhangs, cracks, stemming, and awkward chunky holds are all just off the table on this kind of wall. Amazing training tool, but it likely won't ever match how unique indoor route setting can be.

[rantaleksi]

I've never climbed in my whole life but I would still love to have that wall at home

[aaronshropshire]

Hey Magnus do you think you could do a video on the moon board where we the viewers send you problems to try? We would be able to see just how insanely strong you really are 😂

[johnmcho]

It'll help standardize the grades across the world for sure, but I like the local vibe of each gym. Can we have both?

[runforrest]

Loving these vids with Pete. It's a really great chemistry. You both bring a really interesting perspective.

[MiguelClimbs]

I do believe that these programmable LED boards are the future of climbing, yes. There will probably be one in 10 years that will blow our minds. Hope you do another episode with Pete! Love that guy.

[Pshady]

That wall tilting would make a fun contest, run it like a high jump where you are allowed only 3 fails but can skip rounds.

[haydengutiw]

No way! You guys are trying my 50° kilterboard project!!! So sick to see this!

[Mainsy]

Haven’t climbed in over 3 years started watching your videos in lockdown an booked in for first session on Saturday

[juglover]

The gym I go to just got one of the LED walls, and there’s even an app for it where you can use already set climbs and even make your own- it’s super cool. The angle is also adjustable.

[ReaperUnreal]

That right-hand first is really cool, it shows how beta can change depending on angle. Not enough figure-4s though.
