>pls kill yourself

whenever i watch these videos i really want to climb cranes and stuff

where do i find cranes to climb and how do i do it without getting caught?

i really think it would be a good experience even if death is a chance

>>7791394
>video only 5minutes,20seconds
damn he climbed up there pretty fast

>>7791397
Just go to your city and find a construction site.
>without being caught
Go at night + be careful
In six months or so, maybe you should practice climbing first? So there's less a chance of fucking up and getting yourself killed?

>>7791394
wow so cool dipshit, they just took a elevator to the top floor and climbed ladders.

these videos hurt to watch, does that happen to anyone else, like i actually feel a slight pain in my stomach

>>7791405
good point, I'll work on increasing my grip and balance

only thing is none of my friends are ever down to do this kind of thing, maybe i will have to try to find some people who are interested

>>7791397
work on upperbody strength and do a lot of bodyweight exercises, lose pretty much all fat, dont fucking go out and think you can do this first try. Practice a lot and get rid of any fear of heights somehow.

>>7791389

looks more of an /out/core fit.

>>7791409
climbed ladders? are you fucking retarded please watch the whole video, they climb a fucking crane. pls be a fucking troll holy shit>>7791404
is fa this fucking dumb honestly? i come from /fit/ and /pol/ and people arent as fucking stupid as you.

are chinese cities like beijing and shanghai fa?

im thinking of moving 2 one since chinese is ez shit

>>7791412
Might be a good idea depending on where you're located, I was the same but just started climbing myself. So whatever suits you better

Also, listen to this: >>7791413
Taking up bouldering practice will help immensely (seriously, you won't be expecting how hard it is to hang off a ledge for even short amounts of time and pull yourself up/along), and if you can get a couple of good parkour classes in they might help too

And when you start, just try things low to the ground - a lot of smaller, particularly older buildings have facades that make them well suited to climbing and it makes for good practice.

reported for off topic

Real-Climber core or what you think climbers should look like. Most of us just dress like we live in the pacific north west/stoners. So many beanies/sandals, wide goofy pants etc... Everyone I climb with tells me I look "European" because apparently duffle coats and Chelsea boots only exist in the UK. (To be fair I do try and dress a bit "mod")

>>7791431
her was filmed in shanghai. i think it has potential, if anything.

>>7791438
when you say climbercore do you mean rock climbing and stuff like that or urban climbing like in the video?

are there groups for urban climbing?

>>7791431

Only if you want to die of lung cancer or some other disease at a young age.

>>7791375
>tfw you will never climb a pyramid at night and take photos.

>>7791470
this.

>>7791431
Lived in Beijing for 6 months. /fa/ in the cyberpunk / dystopian / techwear sense, but Chinese people have awful fashion sense.

>>7791446
>her
>filmed in shanghai
yet theres not 1 chinese person in the entire movie

>>7791445
The people whop do giant urban stuff are mostly rock climbers who transition. It's hard to build the strength and endurance to do that kind of thing in an urban environment only. Go boulder at a local gym to get an idea what you are in for if you really want to do this.

Climbers bodies are also pretty strange. Your shoulders get massive, as do your forearms, not much bicep, not much pectoral. Legs tend to stay where they are. Squats and Oats is bad for climbing, as it's all about relative strength and endurance. Pic related. Adam Ondra is one of the best climbers around.

>>7791497
Are you kidding? Look at the subway scenes. It's filled with Chinese people.

>>7791468
holy fuck, i just youtubed vids of ppl climbing the pyramids

that looks soo amazing, I want to do it one day now. Standing on top of something so ancient wow. . .

>you will never take pics of your best sandninja fits on top of the great pyramids.
>you will never have a romantic sunset picnic will your qt gf on top of the great pyramids.

>>7791418
>trying this hard

>>7791500
his screams are annoying when you are half way through a climbing film.

>>7791500
dont forget lats get crazy too

>>7791540
Honestly I think they are less annoying then sharma's karate noises.

>>7791563
sah, sahhhhhh sahhhh
I find it funny
Ondras screams are just painful ahah

>>7791500
do these people lift weights or only do body weight?

what type of workouts?

>>7791571
pushups situps dips pullups etc etc, there are plenty of calisthenics work out programs out there check out /fit/ there are always calisthenics (bodyweight) threads on there. Im assuming you are fairly low bodyfat since you are on /fa/ if not you should cut down. You should lift weights as well not just bodyweight. because its good to switch off. Since you aren't going for aesthetics you are just going for strength do HIGH weight LOW reps. please go to /fit/ if you are serious.

>>7791585
thank you for the advice, i am already a skeleton, but I will go check out what is on fit, thanks!

>>7791375
SOMEONE PLEASE ID boots, keep this thread alive.

>>7791571
Most of us don't lift weights. You climb, maybe some basic calisthenics (pull ups are great, do some push ups also so you don't fuck your posture, situps if you need core). Just climb more and eat right.

>>7791585
Please no. Seriously the /fit/ advice is terrible for climbing. Flexibility > Endurance > Strength once you can lift body weight. You are not just building muscle, though some of that will happen, you need to strengthen tendons, something most people never really do.

Calisthenics are good. Weights are stupid unless you intend to dyno every move.

>>7791375
w2c pants

>>7791603
Alright, I signed up for the gym about a week ago, what are some things I should be focusing on for a routine?

So should I focus on cardio and flexibility for a while? Should I be mixing in strength into that anways?

>>7791603
Dont listen to this guy, you have to do weight training if you want to climb buildings. There is no way you could legitimately climb 100 plus feet easily without picking up weights prier, these climbers have facebooks and you can ask them. Strength and Weight Training is necessary if you want to become serious about climbing.

>>7791618
looking up strength training for climbing, there are plenty of programs out there, cardio is important. Work on your back, lats not so much biceps but do a lot of dips, try the dip machine.

>>7791633
>>7791633
woops i meant not to worry about biceps. LATS ARE important error my bad

>>7791616
pants look like normal US woodland bdu style pants, you should be able to cop at ebay/surplusstores for under 25 bucks

>>7791603
not flexibility but mobility.

>>7791618
what you need to work on is your ability to stabilise your hips/shoulders through different ROMs. So doing exercises like pushups, dips, OHP, pullups etc.

>>7791642
yup OHP is something i left out, if you dont have a pullup bar at your home, you should go out right now and fucking buy one, it will help you A LOT working up and making progress.

>>7791633
>>7791642
honestly thank you for the help, much appreciated.

i will look into all of this a lot more, and work with what you guys have said, again extremely helpful stuff

>>7791647
dont lose motivation, make goals, try to get into rock climbing, there has to be some places around you, get into a community, stay determined and stick to it.
one of the most effay things you could do is have a hobby that requires upmost dedication, hard work, strength, pain, time, and its not mainstream (couldnt find another word) like football or some other stupid sport. best of luck. were all gonna make it. Be a sick cunt dude.

>>7791647
not trying to be an autist. But the other guy recommended a dip machine. Don't use that. It goes completely against core/trunk stability. Use a rubber band around feet instead.

>>7791616

they're multi-cam, probably crye or some other highspeed low drag pants or repros....you're welcome, welcome to the world of tactical-core

>Thanks for coming on this hiking trip with me, anon!

This is hands down the funniest thread I've seen in ages. Most of you would shit your pants at 600 feet up let alone 600 meters. In the russian dudes case, form followed function. They were wearing lightweight, non restrictive, dark clothing for obvious reasons lol

>>7791962
>I have poor taste in humour and am a fuccboi
Kill yourself.

>>7791704
I know what multicam is, and I know tons of about tactical gear, aswell (ophere) In this picture it kind of looks like multicam, but if you watch the video, you will see its just regular oldschool woodland camo.

>>7791397
I'm sure there are forums for this. In other words, don't ask 4chan for advice on shit that can kill you.

>>7791592

They look similar to Salewa pelle approach shoes but they're not them.

>>7794415
they almost look some hiking boots, cant put a name of them, seems kind of old and bulky to be wearing when climbing. QUESTION: is it n!ggercore to wear camo pants in public? how exactly can you pull off camo properly? please halp. i love military surplus

>>7791517
share vids?

>>7791706
>this picture
i need more

>>7794429

/out/ might be able to ID them.

>>7791375
He has no harness omg
That pic made me uneasy

For what they are doing, I would assume something made by La Sportiva

>>7791416
my hands were sweating while watching

>>7791592
those are not boots

they're climbing shoes

>>7791468
they are the same guys that made that video in shangai, ya know?

>>7795535
yup pretty sweet, you can check out their facebook page and they do all types of cool shit. Thsoe arent climbing shoes >>7795480
watch the videos, those are think big boots, believe it or not, climbing shoes are small and flimsy

>>7795690
this stuff is awesome. shame i can't find more threads about urbex etc, damn

>tfw china has ghost towns that would be perfect for urban exploration
>tfw most of china is a shit hole

>>7795930
/out/ and /x/ sometimes has some urban exploration threads. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ID THESE blue boots with the yellow laces? goddamn

>>7795948
japan also has a lot of abandoned places, too bad theres radiation over there, if you can get over that, its a pretty /fa/ place to live. I would love to explore Chernobyl i have dreams about it
damn.
