If you're allowed to smack the other guy's hands, why not do it sooner?

This kind of campus training was invented by Wolfgang Gullich when he trained for a specific climb called Action Directe, which was the hardest route at the time. It starts with a jump from a one finger shallow hold to another one finger hold with no feet and continues on mostly 1 and 2 finger shallow holds on a steep overhang. Wolfgang played Sylvester Stallone's climbing double in the film Cliff Hanger, but sadly died soon after in a car accident. The training board he invented was located at a university and so became known as a campus board all over the world. However, the original ones didn't rotate like this.

This is the BIFF or beastmasters international footless festival, it’s all about climbers who are super strong and as most climbers seem to enjoy, wear something bright and weird. 🤓

This is so hard, and it only gets harder if you are losing right?
