godspeed is GOD when you send a 5.10 in an empty gym at 7am. i promise. there’s just something about distorted guitar pedal music that adds a lot more intrigue to silly plastic jugs on a wall hehe

i show up to mine (as the solo desk grunt) 5am and depending on what crisis i’m working through it’s going to be sun ra or telepopmusik

maybe classic DnB? like pendulum—hold your colour is a classic album

Regardless the genre, can you turn it down, please? My belayer can’t hear me yelling, “take take take!”

Metalcore, electronicore, deathcore, classic metal, heavy metal, basically just super intense hardcore metal punctuated by the odd classic. I don’t particularly enjoy any of this sort of music but I find I can climb better and it doesn’t get old. 

Ian Wolfewrote: Indie Rock. Pinback, J. DiMenna, Ambulance LTD, Arcade Fire, Apollo Sunshine, Belle and Sebastian, Ben Kweller, The Black Angels, Controller.Controller, Cursive, Death Cab for Cutie (used to be indie, anyway), Devotchka (was used in Mortimer's First Ascent and Little Miss Sunshine), Dispatch (perfect climbing music! Just enough reggae influence for the groove, but plenty of rock, and no Jamaican singers), Hot Hot Heat, Kaiser Chiefs, The Lucksmiths, Modest Mouse, Muse, Nada Surf, Of Montreal, The Postal Service, Pretty Girls Make Graves, The Shins (definitely these guys), Sleater-Kinney, State Radio, Sufjan Stevens (could work), Tilly and the Wall, The Unicorns, We Are Scientists... That's what I'd start with :-) I'm also not adverse to some screamers while climbing from time to time (not that I ever go to the gym...), but I left most of those out of the above list. For a little variety from that front you could throw on Against Me or The Blood Brothers. As an added bonus, not too many people have heard of several of these bands, and they are all pretty good imho, so no one is likely to complain.

Wow that is a lot of names I have not heard since 2006. A playlist of this stuff would be a nostalgia trip and a half.

How about no music?

anything but folk music

90's rap is usually the best. 

After 16 years the OP probably no longer cares.

Damn...they should do sensory-friendly spaces in Muir Valley or PMRP as well. 

LOTR soundtrack

@Andy Laakmann, were you able to finish that playlist to get out and climb?

Other gyms really need to pick this up!  

It would mean people don't have to psssaaattt so hard to be heard.

For me the most important thing is if the song plays well in the space. 

There is plenty of music I like that just sounds like trash coming through a large, open air, echo-y environment. 

I usually turn on mixes from youtube like this synthwave. Maybe you will like it too :3

Put me in the no music at all camp. That way everyone can bring their ear buds and listen to whatever they want. I also dislike most music folks put in climbing videos… so what do I know. 

listening to mad by daoko, great album

THIS IS MUSIC!!!!!

I would recommend Itzhak Perlman and Vladimir Ashkenazy's complete set of recordings of Beethoven's violin sonatas.  It's like how they say classical music makes you smarter while studying, it'll make you more more focused and dialed so you can send your gym proj  

For me, Berlioz’s Symphony Fantastique, specifically the March to the Scaffold movement, would be most appropriate for any difficult gym route I might attempt to project.
