Petition to have routesetters demonstrate the intended beta at the end of competitions
-
Considering how good Louis is, it really puts into perspective how difficult those are.
-
This was a really sick concept, really puts in perspective how hard world cup boulders are!
-
Woah! This has really increased my respect for anyone competing at the World Cup level. If Louis struggles on these problems, then the WC athletes have to be demi-gods. It is interesting to have his commentary while he climbs. It gives a much greater sense of how little time one has and how challenging the problem-solving is, alongside ith the obvious physical challenges.
-
This has given a new level of appreciation and respect for the level World Cup climbers are at. It was refreshing to see Louis struggle! (sorry!)
-
Watching Louis, climbing or otherwise, is very enjoyable and fun! Should Louis, Magnus, and Pete Whittaker do a campus-off? I think yes.
-
Would have been really interesting to hear how that performance measured up to the people on the GB climbing team - for it to be good practice, they would have needed to be hard enough that some of the climbers would not have been able to finish all of them!
-
this is great, would like a section at the end where you go back and spend more time on each boulder
-
Lovely to see a climber that is probably 100x, or maybe 1000x better than me not flashing things!
-
Hey peeps, I work at Mile End as part of their social media team and thought I’d give you a heads up that these WC boulders are up for another 4 weeks!
-
Hard climbing, great watching! I chuckled at the "one more... one more" as it is very relatable. Did it on some climbs yesterday even!
-
Tbh would be quite interesting to see your genuine attempts at the qualifiers :)
-
Great vid Louis! If it’s any consolation, the GB climbers struggled a little too- still were absolutely phenomenal to watch them send these! I’m not sure if any flashes were made as there were so many climbing at once, but Alex and Jack for sure set some tough but great boulder problems!
-
We need more videos of louis waiting for things
-
Loved this, would love to see more GB team collabs
-
So nice to see you actually trying really hard. :)
-
It really makes you understand the insane difficulty of the 5 minutes rule. Doesn't appear so hard when you watch seasoned competition climbers who have trained that specificity.
-
Ahhhh Mile End - my hangount - now I can go and try these and see what level we're at comparatively! Nice oine!
-
Interesting to see Luis' weakness! Mobility! Time for a collab with @flexibilitywithfran! And maybe, if you want, one with me for dealing with performance anxiety 👀
-
4:50 that song is beautiful! Great video❤
