awesome video

[zergling6000]

Does anyone have any ideas for 'sloper training' in the (normal) gym? perhaps with plates or pull-up machines?

[thepengestration]

@zergling6000 The problem is that slopers use a differing combination of muscles in your hands, in comparison to plates or pull-ups. The only thing I think that might be relevant in a non-climbing situation would be to train open-grip style on objects?

whats the track

[DJTUCANMAN]

UTAH I live right in that canyon

[touge242]

How the hell can you climb upside down using slopers?

[benberisha]

@pacifiedfools fool yourself? :D

[pacifiedfools]

@benberisha It would appear so, but at least I am not in a state of pacification.

Well done, sir. Great video with excellent tips. Slopers are definitely my weakness. Are those boulders in Southern Illinois?

[ClimberBros]

bloody hell fire... great technique and advice but my maximum are british 6c bouldering moves it does demonstrate the importance of body position to make the most of friction... what a climber

[ClimbingChrispy]

It seems like Mr.Mom should be at least a V13+. I'd love to see Sharma do this...

[taekwondoman12345]

I bet this guy can do four MILLION pullups

[hydrosav2007]

OMG!!! I honestly didn't think anyone could grab those slopes... That's amazing great climbing, I'm only doing v3 or an easy v4, so doing that slope unbelievable!!

[michdudeada]

Karma (8a) and Mr. Mom (V14) were simply amazing!!!!

[truthflow1]

On that last problem, there are NO HOLDS! I can't get my head round slopers at all, so enjoying the "fool yourself" tip. Will try these in the morning!
