This is correct. No matter what country, there will be a gym somewhere with an identical speed climbing wall. In the US, most any major city will have one.
Looking forward to setting it up this weekend. Have a Viper also, haven't started using it yet. Now that I have both I will get them both up and running and knock out some projects.
I've rock climbed so I know that tether doesn't meaningfully pull you up, but it's breathtaking how she's moving so fast and fluid that it looks at times like she's being yanked up by the tether.
All the holds are really friendly, obviously there is *some* technique but it's a lot friendlier than comp walls that focus on technique and ability rather than speed
Is it just me or does speed climbing always looks like the climber gets pulled up with the security rope and moves arms and legs as if they climb themselves?
More impressively this was filmed on earth where there is gravity constantly pulling her down. But you are right, somewhere in space that would work the way you think it works.
By maintaining a more consistent velocity she avoids accelerating as much as reasonably possible. This reduces the work needed and allows her to move faster over distance and looks like she is floating up the wall.
That's how good and superhuman they are. It felt like she was floating and just doing the same as in those bad stunts, flailing arms and legs while a rope pull her. But you can clearly see the rope being slack until the very end when she throws herself.
How can there be a world record? Are the routes always the same? It seems like you could make a stairway and get a faster time. How is it a direct comparison?
The speed climbing wall is standard - same wall in every competition (and gym where the athletes train for it). It's a different discipline than bouldering or sport climbing, where the climbers don't get to see or train the routes before the competition.
Yeah that's what I thought would be the case. So it's strange to me that times on different routes can be considered the same for purposes of a world record.

She's the new record holder for womens speed climbing. She beat the last lady by 0.01 seconds.

She climbs that wall like a person who just turned the lights off in the basement and they are running up the stairs...

Ya them shadow demons better never even bother chasing her.

Pskovinsky
it's a spec wall, so they can practice the route beforehand. Still crazy impressive though.
Sternfeuer
The holds are always exactly the same. So it's mostly automation. They could probably climb it in the dark in less than 20 secs. Still impressive.
labyrinthconvention
I'm not familiar with this, but it looks like it's not really technical at all. Is that correct? Really more about strength and execution
Sternfeuer
It's around 5.10c/6b which is medium difficult. An average once a week climber will perhaps struggle with it.

Holy spiderlady.

Cool video, but why does it sound like whales fucking?

Because someone thought it would be hilarious to put slow mo sound on there to imply she was even faster.

Dang 500mm/s print speeds that's pretty insane. I was psyched I could press mine to the 80-100 range but damn.

Awesome best of luck man! May your prints be spaghetti free.

Thank you, same to you!

It’s filmed at the bottom of the ocean in a spherical glass gymnasium so the whales can watch.

And it turns out speed climbing is super erotic to whales so... Here we are.

You could give me half an hour and I wouldn't make it past climby-thing number seven.

MaxieMooo
By friendly i mean theyre all "jugs" which are by far the easiest hold to grab on to.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Yeah it's more of a height thing for me. No likey.
ironymus
Is it just me or does speed climbing always looks like the climber gets pulled up with the security rope and moves arms and legs as if they climb themselves?
Skawomplious
It's momentum. She gets going at the start and for the rest of the climb she's literally floating up.
Vrozen
More impressively this was filmed on earth where there is gravity constantly pulling her down. But you are right, somewhere in space that would work the way you think it works.
Raeilgunne
i has to watch a few times to make sure it didn't have tension.
timmargh
You could say that you were paying a tension to the rope …
PirateRubberDuck

I wish I could see it without the rope, but I'm sure that's dangerous

I would have trouble running that fast on flat ground.

She climbs that wall faster than some people walk on a flat surface
Sage042000
I've never tried. How much assistance does the tension on the rope give?
CreatorAtNight
It doesn't. Or at least it shouldn't.

She climbs that wall faster than some people RUN on a flat surface

Faster than I can find a pair of matching socks, that's for sure
DroppedMyPantsForThis
No one cares about the color of your socks. Just buy black socks on bulk. Some are short, some are not. Black anyway.

Friend, life's too short to waste it on matching socks.

The speed climbing wall is standard - same wall in every competition (and gym where the athletes train for it). It's a different discipline than bouldering or sport climbing, where the climbers don't get to see or train the routes before the competition.

Nope it is changed for every event, & if I remember they aren't even aloud to look at it until right before the starting buzzer
Waxilliam
Yeah that's what I thought would be the case. So it's strange to me that times on different routes can be considered the same for purposes of a world record.
GeerBeer
You are thinking of bouldering. Speed climbing walls are always the same.
GeerBeer
Yes the route is standardized.
