As Father Jack would say

I used to love climbing, but, these days I find climbers a bit ARSE!

crawling through the caverns... of the overmind... thanks for sharing... <3

I am a 70 year old climber who high-balled into my fifties. But I believe “promotion” is errant. Keep it hidden and just say no to “being famous.” No regrets.

I liked and subscribed ❤

18:23 These kind of caves give me an evil feeling and seem alive Water is dripping on every rock and it brings them to life so they do look like some sort of organism spreading through the cave And nothing else on our planet resembles it Really does look like something from a different world

I don't think I'll ever be a good enough climber to send something this hard, but I hope I'll build the mental strength to send something this absolutely filthy and knackering one day. Awesome watch, even more awesomely done.

brilliant fun video

great video but would have liked to have seen a lot more of the crawling ect the hard parts of caving but overall great video

I've got the scarpa veloce shooes and I whould like to share my expiriance with them in the hop that it will be helpful for someone. Don't get me wrong, they are ultra comftable, but i found them to be not that durable. I climbed for 4 days a week for 2 -3 months around the 6C/7a level and I already got through the rand, and had to get a pricy resole. I am on the heavyer side for a climber at my level at around 90 kg. and my gym sets a lot of boulders with little foot jibs so that might play in as well, but keep in mind that the softer the rubber is the faster it will wear though. If you want something more durable and also comftable go for a rubber that is a bit harder than the s-72. Another peice of advice I whould give is to send the shooes in for resoaling imidiatly when you see signs of wear. Then the repairs are much cheaper.

Its funny how one mans fun is anothers absolute nightmare.

Absolutely superb. A brilliant film. Captures the essence of the insanity of the route and the struggle so well.

Forgotten Advice: Dont be discouraged by "beginner" tech. Products are marketed to have a "beginner, intermedite, pro" teirs which honestly, all have their specific usecase. Unlike cycling, where more money = better cylcing; with climbing its more money = different usecase. To be real most of us climbing aren't doing anything different than what a beginner would also be doing, so getting "pro" gear wont change the climbing experience (unless you're packing your wallet with you which it could be helpfull if you made it lighter in advance). If you trust beginner-tech rentals (what most rental and studios offer) for bringing a family or friend along on an adventure, then there is no need to spread your wallet beyond beginner-tech to own and take home.

What is a high toe box? Like the vertical room in the toe box is higher / there is more room for your toes to move vertically?

would have been interesting if these climbers had something interesting to tell and show about the climbing that the former inhabitants did to make a living for hundreds of years. All sports have roots in activities intended to provide a living, but these guys, dont have a clew.

Amazing, my grip has never been so strong before. Specially my left hand's grip.

Good to see you back on the ´tube!

Looks like something out of the film Aliens

Think I’m going to get a pair of VS-Rs. Already got a pair of Borel Jokers, which are a good bit stiffer and more comfortable so decent for outside and training, but I’m definitely needing something softer and more aggressive for rathos over hangs and some slabby boulder nonsense (the good stuff)

Vapor vs skwamas and solution comp do everything

The "see a good shoe deal but buy the wrong size" definitely happened to me. Bought a pair for 50% off and I ABSOLUTELY HATED THEM! 3-4 months later I bought a new pair because I lost all the joy in climbing. And I was climbing for a while then, lol.

Guys be careful with hack 4 the full crimp. I slipped while doing that and teared my middle finger apart... whole body wheight was on that finger for a split second and it just ripped apart.

How long would you take if you sail in between them? (wouldn't be much of a climbing challenge I guess... ahhaha)

Love your supertopsecrethaks brother props

Finger and arm chi gung as part of a warmup would help

Nice, i was there last year sailing, looked like there are a few good lines on that crag above the hut.

Very nice work! 👍😉

The mag-font in use

I'm really impressed by this. We just climbed these three stacks over four days and used this vid for some helpful beta. We came over from Sweden not really expecting anything (except bad weather maybe) and only really hoping to do the Hoy and see some grass and sheep. However the weather last week was exceptional and we grabbed the moments and managed to get all three done i a couple of days. We're of course impressed with that you climbed all of them in 24 h but even more that you actually managed to get between them in this time. Hats of lads! That's effin insane! We're happy with how our little roadtrip turned out and that we got to experience this part of the world in such amazing weather. We still have a week left here, any places in Scotland you would recommend us going climbing while we're at it?

I actually went two sizes up from my street size and it still hurts 😢

Annoying thing in my country is that no store sells veloce so I bought scarpa drago LV, lasted me almost a year before I needed to resole. Might get veloce from some EU store, would be more of a pain to return though if they don't fit right.

As a climber and sufferer from Raynauds; it feels like the body just 'gives up' on trying to supply blood to the fingers too quickly, so my approach is basically do anything to prevent that mechanism from kicking in Here will come a list of things that I think worked for me, but it's just very hard to say what does and doesn't work 1) Wear non-restrictive clothing and no big thermal differences between body and extremities If that means taking off a layer for the climb, I do it. If it's not raining, I'd rather wear a tshirt and loose-fitting oversized breathable down jacker than a 3-4 layering system that ends up feeling restrictive. So for climbing, I have 1 shirt i climb in, and a big down jacket with hand pockets. I do not wear long--sleeved shirts/jackets that are tight, or too short around the wrist. So either a tshirt, a shirt with sleeves that surpass my wristline, and then optionall with a softshell over it to block out any wind. 2) cold showers, saunas. No need to go full wim hoff; even 20 seconds cold-ish shower after a warm shower helped. 3) ginger tea. I just add some cut ginger root to my tea in the thermos flask 4) nerve flossing (plenty of youtube vids) and nerve trigger point / deep tissue massages. There are also plenty shoulder warm-ups that also bring some movement into the nerve system as well as warm up the muscles; you can google tai chi warmup for ideas 5) I also have the feeling that going keto / low-carb for a while helped me. Not sure whether it was the all-around effect of the diet, or the removal of things like gluten/yeast/sugars from my diet. 6) When I do have issues with Raynauds, and I start to exercise (ice climbing for example), at some point the blood will start flowing and will hurt like a m.f. If I reach this point, I put my hands in the snow, or in cold/running water. I really do think start off the day with either a cold shower, or other cold exposure, will help for the rest of the day, assuming afterwards you get some blood flow / adrenaline going and get warm again. It's a weird relationship

What’s the blue device that he was using at around 08:00 whilst climbing on the top rope?

😮😮

Great video as always, looks great out there! looking forward to the next one

Didn’t notice you hadn’t edit it so new guy is at least half decent

So glad to see you posting again buddy, always love watching you climb ❤

I don't understand how people are sizing down from their normal shoe size. I wear a 10.5 normal shoe, and a 10.5 climbing shoe is impossible to get my foot into. I have to size up to a 11.5 - 12

13:42 Where the kneepad go

Is your dog a catalan shepherd? looks like!

Awesome climbing looking forward to the videos to come

Classic Joshua tree. The ethic was different back then.

Top outs in Joshua tree always pucker you up a bit.

Just stumbled across this now. I used to be a V3-4 outside climber then took a 8 year break, and I'm starting all over again. I'm consistently climbing V4-5 in the gym right now, but I'm getting shutdown outside on V1s&2s. Thanks for this advice. I have high hopes for this summer season :)

Couldn't they just put the chains at the base? Much easier to clip 'em there youth.

That's a world class climbing movie right there.

hell yeah

I saved this to watch before heading out to a local proj. Your try-hard always psyches me up! Thanks for the amazing footage as usual and congrats on the sends. Can’t wait to see you crush voyage!

Sweet. My brother lives in Catalonia; I'll have to head out there soon

Megos called, he wants he's t-shirt back 😁
