That Y and T review is so dang good. Thank you for sharing. I needed this

[Captain-Jack-Climbing]

This episode is for me hahaha. My right shoulder hurts these days and taking some days off to rest. But I start to love 65-70 degrees kilter board.

[hannahmorrisbouldering]

Board climbing and Puccio power are practically synonymous for me at this point. Great video guys 😊

Sorry for the arrow errors! We are in Oklahoma with a 1mbps upload speed and it caused some uploading issues!
Other than that, we hope you enjoy these tips! Thanks for watching 😊

Ours is a 40 degree static moonboard. Can't even do the easiest climbs on it but I will keep giving it a go with these tips! Thanks for the video.

[alvaroc]

Just fell off the top of snzn ramen yesterday. Alex just floated, I'm trying that next week.

[schneesi]

Very interesting! 🤗 Especially your demonstration at minute eight. Somehow I know that 😅😉 Simply incredibly valuable content again!! 👍🏽Thank you two!

[KevinRGorham]

Such good information, thank you. I have wondered about some of the stuff before and after watching this it just clicked and now I know why I do some of those things.

[Paydrohhh]

I’m addicted to the kilter and like you guys said, the natural progression that you experience working through projects until they eventually go down 🤙 I was hoping to see one of you hit subliminal skull in the video because I just recently ticked that one off my list! Thanks for the tips!

[yogyclimbs]

Your videos are really a new benchmark! Subscribed!

One question about the 'shoulder sagging': Is it possible that people do it because their RFD is so bad that they need to "smear" the making-contact over a longer time? I feel like this is the case for me at least sometimes.😊

[fabianschonfelsler]

Thanks for this very informative video! You are excellent at putting complex climbing moves into words👌💪!

- Do you generally initiate the next move from a "relaxed" shoulder and straight arm position, unless you need the extra upper body tension due to the relative directionality of the starting holds?
- Do you intend to maintain lower body tension to keep your hips always close unless you are transitioning or sagging to generate the next move?

Great content as always! What is that classic V7 around 5 minutes? I cannot see it in the description 😞 Thank you

I struggle to even hold the starting holds on a wooden board. Something to work towards

[DrSenorFishTacos]

I wanted to probe into Alex's comment regarding shoe stiffness. I was under the impression that softer shoes make board climbing easier (because softer rubber allows you to dig into holds on overhangs). Can you clarify this?

[jakehowell]

What are the two things they’re holding onto after the climbs?

[joolsgrommers]

When using a pogo (moon kick etc) do you focus on the knee driving up, or kicking the foot itself?

[hkkrach]

Only got a 50° kilter and can barely even do the V0s 🫣 Ah well I'll eventually get stronger 😂
