I’m hopping back on the 2016 MoonBoard set to retry “Whisping Aspens” (7C+ / V10) — my first ever V10 that I originally sent back in 2019. My gym finally put the 2016 holds back up, so I wanted to see if that old milestone still feels like a victory lap… or if it’s gonna humble me. Before I even think about touching the V10, I run a full MoonBoard-style warm-up and ladder through a bunch of classics so my fingers, shoulders, and brain are actually online. You’ll see me work through a progression of problems (V4 up through V8) and talk through what’s feeling good, what’s feeling sketchy, and how the board style changes the whole game compared to “normal” gym climbing. The big takeaway: I’m not trying to be a hero on move one — I’m trying to be consistent, warmed up, and ready to try hard when it counts. Then it’s time to hop on Whisping Aspens and see what’s still there after a few years away from it… plus a little bonus “super dope and cool spin move” at the end because obviously.
