Carlo Traversi Instagram – Lots of setting and climbing @theboulderfield the past few months. Definitely finding a good rhythm on plastic but looking forward to switching back to real rock soon. Here’s a little breakdown of the boulders:
Problem 1: Powerful bottom moves with a high heel followed by a tricky coordination dyno where you have to land the right foot, then right hand, and finally a left toe hook to prevent the barn door. Top section is oddly powerful as well. I set this one specifically as a way to test differing styles all in one problem. Switching from slower power and tension to quick coordination and then back again. Probably V11?
Problem 2: A really nice tech bloc from Quinn. Subtle moves all the way. I really like the utilization of all sides of the first large @flathold . You really have to push yourself down into the foot as you stand up to create opposition and find balance. Probably V9?
Problem 3: A tech testpiece that I set this last week that I was really happy with. Lots of interesting moves and positions on this one but I particularly enjoy the right hand bump from crimp to crimp while pressing on the top of the @flathold fiberglass. The toe hook in this position creates really nice opposition for the move and makes it almost feel like you’re floating. Probably V10?
Problem 4: Playing around with interesting toe hooks starts. Not too bad when everything stays in place. Powerful stand up followed by a bit of tension for the finish. Probably V9?
Problem 5: The goal was to set a bit of an entry level move in this style. To some degree I think it achieves that. Definitely more positioning based than physically difficult. I found it to be a good teacher for understanding the angle of your hips when initiating the move and how that affects trajectory. Probably V9 or 10.
