It’s just like crazy how the battery swollens up

I am absolutely going to show this video to my gym in Boston. Love it! 50+ and stoked to compete!

V3 🩵

Such a great video. And I highly agree it is awesome to climb with people closer to your age. I'm happy to say my own gym had a "Masters" category for 50 and over, but sadly not any for 40s which could have been very nice to meet those around my age. But still super encouraging that this recognition of older climbers is catching on within the climbing community.

that was heroic, good job!

I am so happy I have come across your channel! I have been trawling the internet to find a relatable climber of a similar height. Thank you for sharing your progress and thought process in helping you achieve your goals.

Really nice last go! I would like to have a route setter holding my hand on my gym's comp climbs.

Your videos are such a delight and so applicable to the older climber. I too have been moving into grades that I know I'm unlikely to finish and I learn a tremendous amount from these attempts.

How much fun is this?? I've never seen a competition like this in my area of the US. I love your mission with your TH-cam channel, and it is wonderful to see examples of other older climbers in the V3 range who are just as passionate about climbing as I am.

I've been working on my dynamic movement myself because I've been such a static climber. I started watching Louis Parkinson and ROAP Climbing (with Alex Puccio), champions of dynamic climbing, and have tried to incorporate more dynamic climbing and the use of momentum. The closed-eye drill looks terrifying but I may see if my daughter will try it with me. I definitely need to work on the sequencing, swing, and GLUTES!

I loved this video so much. This is something I think about a lot. A few months back I set myself the challenge of completing the V0-V2 circuit in my gym and while I didn’t quite complete it, I definitely learned and gained a lot from focusing on climbs I generally avoid. Recently I caught myself avoiding a handful of low grade boulders well within my ability, so I wen5 back to work on those.

This project was very inspiring! I loved how you were able to pinpoint some of your strength, technique, and mental weaknesses through this process. I'm going to try this in my gym. 👍I'm an older climber with a knee injury so I'm trying to work out how to deal with scary sections of routes that are higher up on the wall.

It's not painful to watch; it's a complex thing to do, and as soon as it makes "click," you learn so much for your future. You did such a nice job, and Jules is also a great teacher.

We're of similar heights and climb at Harrowall as well - this is so inspiring, thank you!

Really nice video. Good projecting analysis and honest self-assessment without being too hard on yourself or feeling like you were making any excuses. Really great to see progress with subtle adjustments to get over technique hurdles and stubborn persistence to get past fear blocks. Your rock-overs in particular I thought looked really good btw. Congratulations on the improvement! Great work!

thank you for this! I also climb on this level and I could see myself in several moments hahaha it gave me inspiration to challenge myself more when I'm projecting!

Terrific video and mindset video. You're doing great. I've been feeling down myself recently and have been looking at my climbing in a similar fashion. Well done for the mindset change, and loved the video, content, edit, voice over. Fantastic work!

Thank you. I stand 150cm tall (or short for that matter), and I always stay away from dyno lol. Lately, I'm having an urge to work on it and stumbled upon this video which gave me a lot of insights! Keep them coming!!

Love watching your vids!

Nice vid its great to see people push themselves. I would say its perfect advice for the beginer to early intermediate which most people realistically are climbing at . I would say as you get better what you train and work on becomes more of an opportunity cost. Especially for those of us who work full time and are not getting any younger. For me im terrible at parkour style bouldering but training it would be a waste for me as its not inline with my goals of climbing better outdoors and on the board. As long as your honest with yourself and your training reflects your goals you will see progress imo.

This was an amazing video! I really appreciate your scientific approach to improving your skills.

Great climbing, I'd consider the bolt hole one a send.

LETS GOOO YOU'RE AMAZINGG. Thank you for your perspective!

Wow! Tremendous efforts that you put into the V3 project! Your efforts are rewarded! Thank you for excellent feedback.

Great video! Thanks! It really motivates and inspires me. I got stuck recently that I was not able to improve for a long period and I lost my mindset. Really as what you showed, I should restart thinking HOW I can do those boulders

Nice progression.

This is such a cool video. You can see the amount of times you say you can't do something and then straight away do it afterwards! So much of climbing is mental

I'd totally count the bold hole send! AWESOME climb

I absolutely love your videos 🧡 as a relatively new climber struggling to get into the v3s I find your videos so insightful, thanks for sharing! Also you should entirely count the bolt hole send, everyone else could use the final hold!

this video was so insightful!! really cool to see you making great progress on climbs you previously deemed impossible.

Appreciate this vid! Analyses like these are always the way to progress forward - best of luck!!!

Really great video, such an interesting style of video. I will try and do something similar with my climbing going forward now

I tried that orange swing round the upright toblerone volume about 50 times, never got it.

Great video. Really good to see someone climbing at a similar grade to myself. Really helpful. Thanks

Great video. Enjoyed watching it😀

Great to see another upload! Awesome work on these climbs

Grades are of course subjective and variable depending on the setter and your own skill set, but the very fact they can vary by a grade or two is what I was counting on here. If I can do 50-75% of the v3’s I know I’ll be able to pick off some easy v4’s, but this experiment was about improvement rather than grade chasing. This project ended up being a lot more involved than I was expecting, with hundreds of clips taking up 670Gb of space on my hard drive, and taking a couple of months to work out how to piece it all together! As always, if you enjoyed this video please consider subscribing to my Channel. A like or comment or share goes a long way in helping this video get seen :)

I am 42 and just started last year. I am so inspired by this event, thanks for sharing!

A primeira vez que eu tomei conhecimento dessa moça, dessa surfista, foi há muito anos atrás, não me Recordo a data, nem o ano foi em uma Reportagem na Revista ( Veja )* me lembro como se fosse hoje, éla na foto na Revista éla em cima da prancha surfando com apenas um dos braços o outro amputado inesquecível , Revista (Veja ) Bethany Hamilton, não me esqueço até hoje. Superação !👍

V12. Because it will always remind me I will never get there.

Share this comment if you watched Cbeebies as a kid and remember Beebie and Bracken.

What a lovely interview! And what lovely attitudes! I'm male but I'm short and 57 and a newbie, so I completely get where you're coming from, on the joys of low-to-mid-range routes, the inclusivity, the reasons for doing it! Such a refreshing video.

Your Channel is so underrated for beginners and provide sort of free coaching for people up to this stage, thanks

I love this, what a great idea! I started climbing a year ago at the age of 60 (after a lifetime of doing very little fitness-related activity). My improvement is slow, but it's happening. I lack confidence in bouldering, as my two local gyms don't have down-climbing holds or top-outs. At my age I'm quite scared of falling from the top (I broke a hip 5 years ago - not climbing - and I don't want to do it again!), so I often bottle the top hold in favour of having enough energy to climb down the way I came. I'm really impressed that the setters have given thought to this in a comp for older climbers. I'm making much better progress with top-rope climbing (not worried about falling!). Maybe if I build some more confidence on boulders I could enter this the next time it happens! (I love that they consider it an event, like a public marathon, doing it for yourself rather than to win). Thanks for highlighting that such a thing exists, and well done to the organisers!

Viewing figures don’t do justice to the coaching sessions in your videos. I’m watching this but also feeling it. A lot of editing and falling off to achieve this. Absolutely brilliant.

You deserve a Nobel Prize for this video. I'm not sure which one and it might not matter too much, whether it is Peace, Medicine or Physics. I have a sketchy right shoulder but am working on getting some dynamic movement back into my climbing. This is very helpful.

Excellent video. Loved it :)

This is a great video! I have been climbing for a year and like dynos but I still learnt loads! :) Thanks

A great video with lots of tips. I look forward to practicing them!

Am quite static myself so I'm very excited to watch this 40 minute banger!!
