OJHeartbreaking end to what would have been my first V8 at 50° on the Kilterboard. #rockclimbing #bouldering #kilterboard
Jono Ferguson@oj wait, the holds light up as you use them?
That is trucking cool.
Gonçalo Ribeiro@jonoabroad @oj I think they light up to show you which holds are available to you. Imagine all unlit ones don't exist at that time.
In this way you can have countless configurations with a single wall.
Very interesting, had never seen it before.
@goncalor @jonoabroad aye indeed. There are currently 65,000+ climbs set on the board. Some you can change the angle on (like this one) but others are fixed. Such a good training activity!
@jonoabroad @goncalor No judgement here :)
@jonoabroad Well yes and no. Most climbs are just lit up already so you know where you're going. But you can do "routes" which change over time.
@oj rock on, so rather than making them out of specific colours and have a limited number of routes.
@jonoabroad hands start on green, hands need to finish (matched) on pink, hands can use blue along the way. Yellow means "feet only", but feet can use any hold that is lit up.
Infinite possibilities! Especially when the board can go from 5° to 70° overhung.
rkvl@oj so close man, hope you'll send it next time
@rkervell Thanks bud, me too. I reckon it'll go when I've got more gas in the tank.
Ölbaum@oj Wow, interesting device, and impressive technique.
@oscherler I love this thing :)
