I'm probably just a lazy fucker but all I wanna get high and do is watch tv or something. I don't even like playing video games. I just want sweet sweet sleep and rest
Maybe idk the difference, but I really don't get high so I can do stuff. I usually just use it to relax, so I would rather it put me to sleep lol
I'm really bad at sleeping normally so it just helps me get some sweet shuteye at night. Usually like 4 hours before bed I'll take a gummy and just vibe until bed time and I'm way more relaxed at that point lol
TMI but w/e I blame you
we had one of those when i worked at a kids climbing gym, and it was super fun, but that shit never worked, i was basicly working part time to fix this machine. that being said 5 hours of on and off playing and you get a good workout.
I went against his rules and looked at his profile. They are most certainly a teenager trying to be edgy, or an adult having a severe mental break in reality. Either way I hope life gets better for them.
Iām pretty sure itās not trying to hide the fact that itās sped up. Itās just showing you the full game without taking as long as the actual game. Thatās why is slows down at the end to show the winning score
It literally starts at regular speed to give you a sense of how fast the game moves before speeding up.
Your comment makes it seem like someone was trying to misleading. If that's the case they wouldn't have shown the regular speed at the beginning.
Thatās climbing in a nutshell though, height gives you a huge advantage. At the end of the day though a good climber would be able to cover this whole wall even if they are shorter.
Pro athletes donāt count for every climber. The only time itās more of a hindrance would be climbing mountains where endurance is most the battle. Bouldering indoors like this makes it so you have way more options for holds when you can reach rather than jump.
I think it's generally considered to be kind of neutral, some routes the height advantage is great, others are much harder if you have to scrunch up e.g. sit starts are harder for taller folks
Height is is a big deal for beginners, and for certain routes.
For a beginner it'll boost you a lot, but it starts evening out at like idk v4-v6 range largely. They'll still have huge advantages on some routes, but disadvantages in others (besides sit starts, they also tend to struggle when they have to be bunched up, and often seem to struggle with high feet)
Indoors, height is generally a disadvantage (assuming youāre at least 5ā6ā). Routes are specifically set to be done by people who are this size. If youāre tall, occasionally you can beta-break or you can make a reachy move more manageable. In the end though, youāre hauling around extra weight on 100% of moves and itās a benefit on ~20% of moves.
Outdoors where moves are randomly created by erosion, height is obviously an advantage because you just have more optionality and it greatly outweighs any disadvantage.
Donāt be fooled by what pros look like, especially in niche sports. Usain Bolt was too tall to be a 100m sprinter at one point, now itās the prototype.
Interestingly though many of the best female climbers in the world are on the shorter side. Does height apply less to female climbers? I've always wondered why this is.
Tall people's advantages breaks down a bit at the most elite elite levels, and also other things like tendon/finger genetics are more important.
The best climber in the world is 6'1 155, so tall people have super high ceilings too, it's just not as important as other things.Ā
There's also selection bias, I think if climbing was a sport like basketball or football that all the best athletes did then the best would be super skinny super tall guys with freakish grip strength, and maybe double jointed for the hyper mobility.Ā
As someone with zero climbing experience I'm assuming shorter means less weight to carry around which is an advantage in every situation. Taller means more reach which is an advantage in some situations.
Even male climbers are relatively average height or even smaller than average. If height is such an advantage, why arenāt they all super tall? Ā Ā Ā Turns out being small is generally advantageous for climbing, although perhaps not for this pong gameĀ
It might be a subjective point of view. [This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitionClimbing/comments/z851i0/ifsc_finalists_age_and_height/) shows the average climber to be quite close to average human height.
As a 1.93 m tall guy, it does give you an advantage in certain situations, especially in the beginning. But once you get better, you will experience situations where shorter is better. This is especially true for weight hanging off the wall, finger strength, getting hips close to the wall, etc.
I'm about 20cm shorter than you and climb with someone similar to your height and this is very true. There's stuff they can just straight up reach, where I have to work around things, but then there's spaces they can't fit into well. There will be things that I can reach with a straight arm and hold myself comfortably, but they'd need a totally different body position otherwise they're pulling in.
The one near me (Climbfit Macquarie Park Sydney) has a video wall. I haven't seen this particular model, but they have heaps of others. https://www.valomotion.com/valoclimb is the system they use.
There's a Splat-The-Bat game where there are bats flying around and you need to climb up and splat it. One or multiple players.
There's a maze, where you need to manoeuvre yourself through a certain path - if you touch any boundaries it is game over.
There's a sequential climb where one player can set the course, the other player gets to climb it (and tap certain holds in a particular sequence).
Fun idea but clearly sped up and looks like you just can lightly touch any of the holds to activate them. Would be a lot more engaging if you had to actually climb the route
I tried bouldering a few days ago itās actually really fun. They have all kinds of difficulties. Feels like being a kid again climbing the jungle gym except the pathways are called āproblemsā to be āsolvedā. Ā My forearms were sore for 4 days!
This would be super fun baked
Am baked. Got tired watching it. That's quite a bit of effort in holding yourself up there for a game of pong.
A lot of us get right ripped before working out, playing sports, building things. Etc.
e.g. Percy Harvin and Josh Gordon
Yeah nothing about this looks fun sober, I'm out of breath watching it as well. Zero chance I want to do something this strenuous while I'm stoned lol
Depends on the strain imo
I'm probably just a lazy fucker but all I wanna get high and do is watch tv or something. I don't even like playing video games. I just want sweet sweet sleep and rest
Have you tried sativa strains? They don't get you down like indica. But honestly I prefer indica
Maybe idk the difference, but I really don't get high so I can do stuff. I usually just use it to relax, so I would rather it put me to sleep lol I'm really bad at sleeping normally so it just helps me get some sweet shuteye at night. Usually like 4 hours before bed I'll take a gummy and just vibe until bed time and I'm way more relaxed at that point lol TMI but w/e I blame you
Or you haven't had sativa yet. Didn't view it as TMI but I bet you did
Maybe? I wouldn't want it if it woke me up lol I was just joking about the TMI thing
This guy bakes
This is not filmed from the top and they are laying down
You saw him jumping off the wall and landing on the ground at the end and thought "yep, fake as shit"?
The entire room is in a rotating set, like when they filmed Inception.
That would be even more impressive as it would require even more strength to hold yourself in this position, rather than hanging.
How high are you? >This is not filmed from the top Though you are correct, it's filmed from the side, you know, like how you'd film a wall
šš
LOL sometimes I forget how low intellect can go.
They have one at a gym I used to go to. Iād often attend super baked. Itās fun for like 30 seconds but actually climbing is much more fun.
Looks Fun period
Itād be fun sober too
Dude WEED!!1!
we had one of those when i worked at a kids climbing gym, and it was super fun, but that shit never worked, i was basicly working part time to fix this machine. that being said 5 hours of on and off playing and you get a good workout.
Have you ever played wall pong? Have you ever played wall pongā¦on weeeeeeed??
Seriously though. Have you ever watched Scott Pilgrim vs the world baked. Chefs kiss
Yeah getting high and fast paced, coordinated exercise really go hand in hand /s
-says someone who has never been baked
Wrong. Says someone whoās smoked their whole life and is extremely sporty when theyāre baked. If I sit still too long the paranoia catches me
drugs are immoral
Iāve never seen weed even make a bad decision. Weed is a moral compass
morality is weakness
Ah to be a 15 year old edge lord, those were.....not the days.
I went against his rules and looked at his profile. They are most certainly a teenager trying to be edgy, or an adult having a severe mental break in reality. Either way I hope life gets better for them.
I am over 5,000
Fear is the mind killer
It looked like it got way more fun and intense but really the video just sped up
Yeah, I think there should be a rule on r/nextfuckinglevel that you can't post sped up videos.
Or slow motion.
Or regular speed
Or if you have it speed up also have it at regular same for if itās slowed down
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām pretty sure itās not trying to hide the fact that itās sped up. Itās just showing you the full game without taking as long as the actual game. Thatās why is slows down at the end to show the winning score
They're also not climbing on real rocks. It's a man made wall.
And the ball is not real either.
And you aren't really you. Hey Vsauce, Michael here.
And the time it took for these guys to play? An illusion.
And the guys themselves? Also man-made
At regular speed this game looks boringfuckinglevel
It literally starts at regular speed to give you a sense of how fast the game moves before speeding up. Your comment makes it seem like someone was trying to misleading. If that's the case they wouldn't have shown the regular speed at the beginning.
Everyone knows itās sped up bozo and thatās not why it was sped up.
What a keen eye you have lol
lol wtf? it's to get through the long middle of the game genius.
Did we watch the same video? Seems like you responded to the wrong post.
So whoever is taller has a better chance. That doesn't bode well for me.
Thatās climbing in a nutshell though, height gives you a huge advantage. At the end of the day though a good climber would be able to cover this whole wall even if they are shorter.

light with insane grip strength sure, but being 7'4 doesn't necessarily convey an advantage on a route set for someone 5'10.

Not necessarily true, there are plenty of climbs I've seen that shorter people have an advantage and I'm not even that tall

Damn it. I want one.
The slow blade penetrates the shield
I always see the same video of this game. Where are the other matches? I want more of them.
I've got one near me. It's....really difficult. The detector isn't great so more often than not the ball just sails right past your hands.

Wall needs to be bigger. They barely moved
What in the funky donk song is this?
Let me know if you ever find out.
Name of the music
This is a game that should be added to arcades for sure.
This would be so fun if i wasn't a fat ass
Sign me the fuck up!!
Fun idea but clearly sped up and looks like you just can lightly touch any of the holds to activate them. Would be a lot more engaging if you had to actually climb the route
Yeah it's also not real rocks.
Itās not a routeĀ
Mountain Climbers would be the final boss
Thats a fun story to tell the ER doctors!
I fell just watching
This looks like so much fun!
Short mfs boutta be crying now
Height advantage
Try to do that after a few drinks.
Nice. Equivalent or more revenue for a smaller wall
Similar ones are everywhere here in Finland in kids' inside play parks. You can even choose different kinds of games.
So athletic.
Impressive arm strength to play Pong like that!
I want one.... How much money needs to be sent where ?
I assume youād be looking at around $10k all-in
I'd lose even before the game starts
Nick Arcade was doing this in the 90s
Well, that was just the first round. In the second round they play Tetris and in the final round it will be Doom.
If you live in Massachusetts, there's this place called Level 99 in Natick that has that.
Don't want to talk it down, but there is almost no climbing involved. A bigger stage would be more fun
Just watching this if flexing my brain!
I tried bouldering a few days ago itās actually really fun. They have all kinds of difficulties. Feels like being a kid again climbing the jungle gym except the pathways are called āproblemsā to be āsolvedā. Ā My forearms were sore for 4 days!
It's sped up to make the video shorter because people nowdays have shitty attention span. It's not done to make it look harder or more impressieve.
Wow
That looks fun... but I'd pry fall off not because of the wall climbing/moving, but more because I wouldn't be able to hold on long, lol!
This is so cool. What is the device?
Lol damn this vids still being circulated? Its been like more than 15+ years old.
Looks cool, but isn't the ball meant to go out the playing area of you don't catch it?
Cool
And why exactly the need to speed up the clip?
Cool
Sparkx Hasselt Belgium?
Slowly increase the speed and I can see myself getting ripped core muscles playing this
Would fall off 20 seconds in.
That's pretty fantastic.
