Video Friday: The Beta Horse Pens 40 2010

The 2nd stop on the 2010 Triple Crown Bouldering Series circuit is rapidly approaching in just 2 weeks at Horse Pens 40, AL. Registration for the HP40 stop will be limited this year so if you haven't made your mind up yet you might want to do so soon as it will apparently be full in the near future.

To help get you excited for the Triple Crown comp, your own trip to HP40 or just climbing in general, here is another edition of Andrew Kornylak's The Beta series which features HP40 legend and guidebook author Adam Henry. In the video Henry climbs Honky Tonkin' (V4) and Short Long (V7), both of which I wouldn't have minded having some beta on when I tried them in recent years...

Haha, not many people are gonna use Adams beta for short long. I'm 5'11" with a +4 ape index and I'm sure I can't reach the first move how he's doing it.

That's the way I did it ;) Although I used a totally different, much less efficient method for the exit out onto the face.

You should be able to reach it for sure. I am 5'10 with +0 ape index and I can make the reach like Adam no problem.

Sick video! Love it!
