-[Jenn] Yes, dude!
-[Geek Climber] Oh!
Welcome to the second IFYC Bouldering Competition!
So today we have young and rising star, Jenn,
from Jenn Sends joining us for a Tension Board competition.
And we'll be competing under
the IFSC Bouldering World Cup rules.
Here's a quick recap of the IFSC Bouldering World Cup rules.
The winner is whoever can finish the most climbs.
If there is a tiebreaker,
the winner is whoever gets to the most zone holds.
If there is another tiebreaker,
the winner is whoever uses fewer attempts in total
to get to the top.
If there is still another tiebreaker,
the winner is whoever uses fewer attempts in total
to get to the zone holds.
-[Jenn] So since me and Geek Climber climb around the same level,
we're gonna be going head to head today.
We've picked out one of V2, V3, V4, and V5 for each other
so it should get kinda interesting today.
-[Geek Climber] Yes!
I'm excited. Let's do it!
This competition is sponsored by nobody.
The first climb Jenn picked out for me is a V2
called Look Both Ways.
-[Jenn] Nice!
(upbeat music)
(bell dings)
Nice, dude!
-[Geek Climber] Oh, okay. That was a good warm-up.
Next up, the climb I picked for Jenn is a V2 called Holler
set by Will Anglin himself.
(chill music)
Nice!
(chill music)
Nice!
(bell dings)
Nice!
Too easy!
The V2s are probably a bit too easy for both of us.
Next up, I'm going to climb a V3 called OK Boomer.
Wow.
(Jenn laughs)
There are a lot of big moves.
(chill music)
-[Jenn] Nice!
(chill music)
Come on.
Nice!
(chill music)
Nice!
(bell dings)
Awesome!
Too easy.
-[Geek Climber] That's a hard V3.
Next up, Jenn will climb a V3 called Carnation.
(chill music)
Nice!
(chill music)
Nice!
There you go!
(bell dings)
Flash it!
Wow!
So we both flashed our first two?
-[Jenn] Who's gonna fall first?
-[Geek Climber] Who's gonna fall first? Let's see.
Next up, it's my turn to climb a V4 called Stair Stepper.
I think I'm gonna probably fall on this one.
(Jenn laughs)
(R&B music)
-[Jenn] Nice!
(R&B music)
Oh!
(R&B music)
Nice!
Oh!
Aw.
(music drowns out other sounds)
(R&B music)
Yes! -[Geek Climber] Oh!
Oh, that was so close!
-[Jenn] Almost had it, man.
(R&B music)
Yes, dude, come on!
Yes!
-[Geek Climber] Whoo!
-[Jenn] Come on, man.
Oh!
-[Geek Climber] Man, if I knew the beta from the very beginning,
I might have a chance to finish it.
Now I understand a little bit more the pressure
the pros face when they are competing in the World Cup.
And this also shows how important route reading is.
Next up, it's Jenn's turn to climb a V4 called
We Scream Like Eagles, psh!
Ding, dong, ding, this time, this time, this time,
this time, this time.
Okay. Let's go.
Nice!
(chill music)
Keep the tension, nice!
There you go.
-[Jenn] Oh, no!
-[Geek Climber] Oh, oh, oh!
-[Jenn] That was tough.
-[Geek Climber] That's good, though.
Oh!
-[Jenn] Didn't keep the tension!
- [Geek Climber] Gotta keep the tension.
(Jenn laughs)
Oh!
(Geek Climber laughs)
-[Jenn] Too eager!
-[Geek Climber] Like the bump.
Oh!
-[Jenn] Almost had ya!
-[Geek Climber] Almost!
Oh!
Oh, so close!
One last go?
(buzzer)
Oh! -[Jenn] All right.
-[Geek Climber] That was a great effort by Jenn
and you can also see that there is a jump
in terms of difficulty from V3 to V4.
We went from being able to flash V3s
to having difficulty finishing a V4.
Next up, it's my turn to climb a V5
called Don't Forget to Breathe.
(chill music)
-[Jenn] Nice!
(chill music)
Nice. Come on.
Ooh!
-[Geek Climber] That undercling is terrible.
-[Jenn] That undercling, man.
(chill music)
-[Geek Climber] Ooh, that's too far.
-[Jenn] Come on.
-[Geek Climber] That's hard.
-[Jenn] It is.
-[Geek Climber] That's insane.
-[Jenn] You got it.
(chill music)
Ooh, slapped it.
-[Geek Climber] Ah, should have touched it.
(Jenn laughs)
Okay, to be fair, if I tightened by grip
there's a high chance I would injure my fingers.
And I'm actually quite curious
on how the undercling will be useful.
Anyways, it's Jenn's turn to climb a V5 called Cube.
-[Jenn] Oh, no!
(Geek Climber laughs)
-[Geek Climber] Hold the cross.
Come on, Jenn!
Oh!
-[Jenn] I don't even think I can start this.
-[Geek Climber] Oh, nice!
Oh!
Take a closer look at how bad this hold is.
-[Jenn] Yeah, it's not a good.
-[Geek Climber] Oh my god! (laughs).
(chill music)
Nice!
(Geek Climber laughs)
Come on, Jenn!
Oh!
Man, the fives are hard.
-[Jenn] Fives are hard!
-[Geek Climber] One last time?
(buzzer)
Oh!
(triumphant music)
Yeah!
(laughs)
It was super fun competing with Jenn today.
-[Jenn] Super fun. I hope we can get a rematch though someday.
-[Geek Climber] Yes, we will.
For our future rematch,
since Jenn and I climb around the same level
would you prefer to see us competing on the same climbs?
Or do you prefer the current format
so there are more variety of climbs in the video?
Comment below and let me know.
Just in case you don't know yet,
Jenn has a YouTube channel called Jenn Sends.
Super awesome, you should check her out.
-[Jenn] Definitely.
-[Geek Climber] And we also did another collab video
on her channel, so be sure to check it out here!
