I gotta be honest, these board climbing videos are some of the best climbing content videos on KZfaq right now. Absolutely killer vibe with the basement colours, tight space and incredible chill personalities. Plus, it doesn't hurt that these climbing peeps are absolute monsters! Aiden... nuff said, but Molly is also killer!!

Aidan looks strong as hell as always, and Molly's face when he flashed the 4-5mm hold problem is golden haha All the problems look absolutely brutal, it'll never cease to amaze me how easy they look when climbed by Aidan, (and also Molly this time) It's so good but unfortunately there will never be enough because I can't imagine being bored watching this, whether it's indoor or outdoor!
