Hey, Isaac! Yeah you’re right it does have a strange ring to it. I also think it sounds strange to hear an elite climber describe a boulder as a soft V17. I get the concept, but still 😂 Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

The right beta is always the right beta 😁 haha, but yes, I think Caige was onto something with his beta. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

Haha yeah the cushioning itself is fine, but the covers need a good bit of work! I’ll have to show your comment to the gym owners 😄👍🏻👍🏻

You are very welcome! It’s cool to hear from Nathaniel Coleman in a long-form format like that 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey, Emiliano! Isn’t that part of the film incredible?! They really did a fantastic job with it!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Me too!! Do you think that V18 is possible this year or are we gonna have to wait longer? Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻

@augustclimbing nooo that would be crazy 🤯

Yeah, it's pretty mind-blowing! Do you think we might see a V18 first ascent in 2025?

@@augustclimbing Will definitely will! 😂

​@@augustclimbing no we will see a lot of downgrades, there are no more V16 FA lol, they jump directly to 9a after having climbed like only one 8c+...

Haha true, we may see some V17 downgrades this year. It’s always kind of blurry and undefined at the top couple of grades that are being developed. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

@riverclimber yeah, he’s got his work cut out for him to repeat some of these new 17s 😆

Happy New Year to you as well! You are very welcome and thanks so much for watching 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey, Thomas! Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable! You and I might even send a V17 at this pace 😆 Happy New Year and thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve been climbing for about 2 years could DP a v7 is that good?

@@FortnitePlayer-m6h yeah that’s great!! What type of wall do you feel like you climb best on? Eg slab, overhang…

@@augustclimbing I really like doing overhang walls. You?

This is all also my local climbing gym

@@FortnitePlayer-m6h I really enjoy slab and somewhat overhanging. I need to spend more time on cave/roof climbs to improve there 😀 Hopefully see you around at Fargo Climbing 👍🏻👍🏻

Oh you know… just this little thing called a MoonBoard 😁 Haha thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

Haha for sure! 👍🏻👍🏻 It’s hard not to get this excited 😆

@augustclimbing 😄😁

Oh my, all the best! Hoping you have a quick recovery. Did the doctors give an estimate on when you’ll be able to climb again? I’m sure it’s hard to be off the wall for a while, but sounds like it’ll be best in the long run! Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

@ 9 months if all goes well before I can climb again. However, I still LOVE hanging out at the climbing gym and seeing my kids crush their projects. I can’t wait until I can get back on the wall with them.

@@Climbingmom for sure! It’s so rewarding as a parent to see your kids succeed on the wall (and off the wall too of course)!

Hey, Paul! Might it be a certain William Bosi? 😁

You got it! I enjoyed putting this one together. Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Jake, you are very welcome! Thanks so much for watching 👍🏻👍🏻

For sure! I still can’t wrap my mind around how it’s even possible to flash El Cap 🤯 Babsi is such an inspiring climber with so many impressive ascents. As for Katie Lambs latest V15 ascent, I’m surprised it’s not being talked about even more. Probably partly because she doesn’t share as much on social media as others (which is totally fine). But it’s so amazing what she’s doing! Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻 I hope you have a wonderful New Year coming up soon here!

You got it, Thomas! Even I get surprised at how many top end ascents get included in these episodes. There’s so much elite climbing happening these days… especially in bouldering! I hope you have a great remainder of the year and a wonderful 2025!

@@augustclimbing thank you thats so kind! wish you the same, merry christmas if you celebrate and a happy new year!

Thanks, Thomas! A Merry Christmas to you as well 🎄

Kai Whaley in the house! We are all eagerly anticipating your V17 sends. Keep up the great work my friend 👍🏻👍🏻

Can’t wait to see you get the send! Keep on crushing 💪

Got the latest Kai Whaley video all queued up and ready to go in another browser tab.😂 Btw, shout out to @ClimbingCulture for selling affordable brushes that don't suck. The homies at my gym have been loving them for brushing up their Moonboard 2024 projects. All the blue scuff marks on the brush head are a dead give away!🤣

Adam - same here! 😆 That’s awesome to hear! I love my CC brush for the MoonBoard too. We’ve got the ‘16 set, but occasionally I get to visit another gym with the ‘24 set. Gotta love those blue holds! Thanks for the feedback on the brushes… I’m glad you all are enjoying them! 👍🏻👍🏻

Same to you!! You are very welcome and thank you so much for supporting the channel 👍🏻👍🏻 It really does mean a lot!

So kind of you to support the channel 😊 I hope you have a wonderful holiday season 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks a bunch, I appreciate that! It was a fun challenge. I’ll have to put together another one soon. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻

I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey, Łukasz! Yeah, I think especially F1 ended up being a bit too difficult. Always hard to get the setting just right... though the team did great overall! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey, Thomas! I'm glad you were able to join in to watch the finals... it was epic indeed!! Oh, that's a good idea. If nothing else, maybe in Shorts. I did manage to send F3 (slab) the other day... but I didn't get a video of it so hopefully I can resend it 😀 More to come!

@@augustclimbing Awesome, congrats!!

@@climbing_thomas thanks! I have a video of it now too 👀

@@augustclimbing looking forward to seeing it! :D

Thanks! It was a fun challenge for sure. If you do it, let me know how it goes 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks!! It was a fun challenge. The wall was reset but I’ll have to put together a new one with boulders of similar difficulty 😄

@augustclimbing you could make it extra spicy by saying the boulders have to each be on a different wall, then you do some cardio as well :D

@ ah yes… I’ll be running all around the gym! The only trick will be slab climbing quickly 😆

Thanks for being part of the video, Terrence! It was an epic day indeed 👍🏻👍🏻

Haha, yes, so many V17s to keep track of these days! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey, Thomas! Thanks so much! It was a great day and I'm glad I got to film it to share the experience with others. Yeah, the setting experience was really insightful, and I love seeing people climb it whenever I'm at the gym. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻

That's why you'll have to watch the finals video to truly find the answer 😉 Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

@@augustclimbing 👍

Thanks so much, Miguel! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and could come along with us to experience the Wood Chipper! 😄 Yeah it was awesome to have Xavier there and a bunch of folks from MBP. Finals coming soon 👍🏻👍🏻

Sorry to hear that you wouldn't return! Yeah, the folks who visited from MBP were great people... and some of the strongest climbers in the Midwest 👍🏻👍🏻

@conserve_climber shut up

Love Minneapolis. Also grew up there. Return regularly. And liked all the people I met at the climb :)

Hey, Scott! Farmer climbers know how to crush 😀 Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey, Andrew! Turns out he sent it in April 2023... but it's hard to keep track of all Will's V17 sends these days since there are so many 😆 Thanks for your comment and I look forward to checking out your channel too 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi, Lily! You are very welcome... I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it's quite inspiring... and I also cannot comprehend that level of difficulty 🤯 In some ways they make it look easy but I'm sure if we tried it, it would not be! Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks so much for your kind words!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recap and that it can be helpful. It was quite the year of climbing 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey, Carlos! I agree 👍🏻👍🏻 Janja was doing some outdoor sport climbing in France after the Olympics. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Brooke was projecting some outdoor climbs right now… hopefully we’ll hear more soon!

Hey, Ben! For sure... what an incredible ascent by Sean and now a 3rd V17 in the U.S.! I guess I'll have to make a 2.0 video. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

I should have waited just one more day 😆 Such a cool ascent by Sean! Thanks for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻
