- crazygringo 2y agoOK, but the submission and conversation here isn't about bouldering. This is about wall climbing where there's lots of choice for moves.
- IanCal 2y agoI'm not sure what definition you're using here but the example video on the main page is bouldering.
- et-al 2y agoWell if we're talking about "wall climbing", the set of moves don't expand that much as one progresses. Your technique needs to be more efficient and your transitions and balance on point, but it's not like there's a esoteric 13a move that a 10d climber hasn't seen. Sure the first time someone dyno'd on a roped climb was a sea change. Bouldering arguably has a larger set of moves than "wall climbing", but again the physicality of this sport is the crux for most people. One can study and maybe drill all the "advanced" moves, but without the flexibility and strength to execute on microholds, that knowledge is useless.
