Gotta love when something just clicks for Jason. He is struggling so often with physical things they do, but when his brain goes "Oh I see" and he just doesn't believe that it happened is so wholesome.
It's one of the reasons that I love climbing. Sometimes, it's purely physical power. Other times, it's pure brain power; although a lot of the time, it's some level of mix somewhere in between.
21:20 this is why I love bouldering. It really is a problem solving activity as well as an exercise activity. They call them "routes", but also sometimes "problems" for that very reason 😊
Few pointers for you guys: 1. You typically only need 1 foot on a hold and the other can "smudge" on the wall. This puts your weight on one foot and your balance on the other. 2. Keeping the side of your hip near the wall is very helpful and doesn't require the spider split. I.e. knees together leaning to one side or the other. It's a little more technical but keeps you center of mass closer to the wall without stressing the hips. 3. The rock climbers prayer is a fantastic stretch. Put your hands together as if praying and spread your elbows while keeping the palms flat together then you can Bob your hands up and down or even invert them to stretch the whole forearms. 4. Keep it up you guys are doing great! Climbing is 40% mental
I was an avid tree climber as a kid, high into 25-30ft trees, so doing this would be feeling like I was a kid again. There was no safely falling to the ground back then - it was win or bust. You reached the top of the tree or you fell and broke bones. Good times.... and not a single broken bone! 🤘
Great job guys! One thing you guys should do to keep yourselves safe is to roll along your back and to not let your head touch the ground. (Roll from your right hip to your left shoulder or visaversa and dont let your head touch the ground!)
One thing that's important to note is that the rating scale can change drastically based on where you are. Different regions can have as much as a 3 grade difference between two boulders that are nearly the same difficulty and type. Not to say anyone shouldn't be proud of their ratings, just to know that the scale is all relative. Ratings are decided by the people that set (invent) and climb them. Because no two boulders are the same, the scale is all relative. The most important thing to think about is difficulty for you. Why something is difficult, and to what degree for you personally is the most important thing. The whole activity is about doing things you didn't think you could before (and it feels amazing when you do). So don't pay too much attention to what number you are on the rating scale, just feel happy to be moving upward! (8 months late but why not)
I'm late to the video, but I have found that stretching when your forearms feel tired really helps. Place your palms together like you are praying and then rotate your fingertips away from your body and point them down. From this position, lift the wrists up toward your face. Go slow, as this stretch will really light up those tight muscles.
It’s funny about fundamentally using your legs to climb and arms to guide. I have Osgoods Schlatters in both my knees so I’ve always climbed with my arms XD
Felt like I needed to comment on this one. For Boy Scouts we would go to a place in MN called "Vertical Endeavors" They had fantastic walls but never taught us like this. I assume that's just because our whole troop would go there so they taught us the basics all at once and didn't expect us to get farther. They even had bouldering walls which were smaller, only about 10 to 12 feet high upstairs. I spent half my time up there, mainly the last half. After climbing their 40-60 ft walls they had (we would have races next to each other even though the paths would be different) . There also was many lower courses than none of us ever did, where you clip yourself in (I expect with a belayer, on the bottom. That started a whole story below and went across the celling in some places. It was wild to see some people literally clinging to the rocks on the celling 30-40 ft above you. If you are in the area and interested def check them out. We went to them for years and years in Boy Scouts.
I LOVE CLIMBING!!! Just so yall know about not giving up, I spent 2 days on one route before I got it (top rope). But I love bouldering and climbing. Bought my own gear
I only climbed once - I let go of the wall and was on my back on the floor when my brother then jumped of an adjacent wall onto my face - still have a scar inside my lip where my teeth pierce into my lip.
Great video! I've been climbing for over 2 years now, but its so great to see unexperienced people take the first babysteps onto this new and awesome field!
As a good friend of mine always says, if you can't make the move, all you have to do is pretend you are (taller, more flexible, better) and sometimes she's right. Which I think is about the most rogue thing I can think of.
Does the Historical Weapons Guild cover Bataireacht? Doing a video on Irish stick fighting or making a shillelagh would be very cool. Maybe for a St. Patrick's day special next year?
I took a rock climbing class in college, it was the bee's pyjamas. Being a little guy certainly helps when you're upside-down -- we had an inverted U-shaped bit, and I'd always win on that when we played a version of the basketball/skateboard game where you do a thing, other players have to replicate it and add another move ending in a stable position, if they fail they get a letter, five fails and you're out. I was like a damn gecko on the ceiling of that tunnel. I wish I could still do it, but my knees turned to gravel when I turned 35, too much tennis and soccer and running in general before college. I am VERY good at falling. One time at work I was carrying a stack of boxes and tripped forward over something on the floor, ended up flat on my back completely uninjured, everybody around me was pulling out their phones to dial 911, they were amazed when I stood up. Never put your hands out to try to catch yourself, that's a broken wrist, just tuck and roll, foot-ankle-knee-hip-elbow-shoulder (and try to twist if you're going face first).
I used to live in Austin 14 years ago. There was a gym near 290, I think it was (about 20 minutes from UT) that I would climb at 3-4 times a week. Fun times. There's no gym near me now (in Japan) and I am sad.
After watching this, and the way that dude talks about taking bumps. Modern rogue should revisit the wrestling ring and look into the high flyers! That would be impressive!
For years I've wanted you guys to do this! I think a great video would be learning about climbing gear. It's super interesting how the technology for protection in outdoor climbing works
I've been watching you guys for years, started rock climbing around the time this video came out, and didn't know this video came out. Dang, it'd be fun to teach you guys
Great work guys, it's been a while since I did some rock climbing but i remember it's really fun. I hope you try to do wakeboarding on a cable some time, maybe you can get in touch with JB oneill a wakeboarder from Texas and also a youtuber.
Man, when Brian said that he’s small I felt that. One of the guys that runs the wall at college is a couple inches taller than me and made a course. However, it fit his height and arm length. I had to jump for that one lol.
Jason seems like he could actually be good at this. He seemed to grab holds naturaly. Like when he made the pink grab and scaled back down using the other colored rocks.
just moved near coeur dalene in idaho and there was going to be a rock climbing and bouldering gym built here in 2020 but was delayed from covid then an investor dropped out, theyre still not open but are trying, im hoping they can find funding because ive been wanting to get into bouldering
Curious why the instructor didn't show how a shorter dude could complete the course. He seemed perfectly capable of it, and once Jason completed it it's not like there were any secrets to be revealed through trial and error, and especially once Brian bowed out I'd have liked to see it done by a skilled climber.
probably time and personal bias. There is a difference in what different instructors will see, even if they have the same training in the same gym, but it's all about the difference between time on the wall and size, we are all different.
12:17 Strange that stunt men/women teach that during a back fall, you want your hands to touch first, to spread as much force as possible throughout the body. Here they're just like "No hands. Put your tailbone into the ground"
2:01 Not always! I recommend Googling "baby head rock climbing hold." When I worked in a rock gym, we had a route for a few months called "Lost Souls" which was just six baby head holds and nothing else but the natural features of the wall. 7:04 Good lord I have never wanted to slap someone more in my life. Admittedly, I like to boulder easy routes on natural faces barefoot just for grip and feel, but I'm also a hobbit. Not only are flipflops worse than climbing shoes and even just basic sneakers; they're worse than NOTHING at all! They offer no toe grip AND no support... dummy.

Yoo my passion finally shown on The Modern Rogue.
Me too
Loooove iiit
Mine too!!
I recently got into it at college thanks to some friends. It’s a loooot of fun.
It’s really just a matter of time before they try your hobby
Thanks Jason for showing up for the big man. Alot of people think its a small person sport.
me too. I've been climbing weekly for 7 months, and I'm 6' 220lb and climb ok
Yep, it is that mental thing, Brian was right there but just didn't stand up and was just reaching as that felt comfortable.
Having that reach is reeeeeal nice ^_^

HARDCORE PARKOUR!
Tuck that chin!
Yeessssss! MR doing a climbing video! As an avid climber it's gonna make me very happy to hear their hilarious takes on climbing :)
Muay Thai followed by rock climbing, you guys are just hitting all of my interests and I love it
I just started bouldering 3 weeks ago and I’m enjoying it so much it’s amazing :)

Legend tested gravity works! Love you guys your the best only reason I’m on TH-cam
Probably the best bouldering orientation I have seen in the 2 years I have been a climber! This is like 5 youtube videos distilled into one. big ups
I love bouldering and I'm excited to see this
This is the kind of modern rogue video I love..

Yeaaaahhhhh my favorite sport, I was a state champion here in my home state for a few years! So exited to see it on the modern rogue!
Seeing how popular climbing has become is making me so incredibly happy
21:55 hi Cory!
Was hoping to see Magnus Midtbø in this one
I love his and martes videos
Yaas I've been bouldering for 6 years and have been waiting for this episode!!
I only climbed once - I let go of the wall and was on my back on the floor when my brother then jumped of an adjacent wall onto my face - still have a scar inside my lip where my teeth pierce into my lip.
Oweee!!! That’s gotta hurt 😖
Let’s go I just started climbing today time to learn how bad I’ve been at it
Came here as fast as lighting! Always love your videos, guys!
Great video! I've been climbing for over 2 years now, but its so great to see unexperienced people take the first babysteps onto this new and awesome field!
Thanks for including the fails along with successes… takes guts
"Ass-hitting-the-mat" montage is a real good way to start an episode.
This video reminded me how much I used to love rock climbing and inspired me to find a place to pick it back up
My two favorite fools trying out my favorite sport! Love it
Great video! Seemed like your instructor really knows his stuff! It's cool to see someone teach their passion to others.
As a good friend of mine always says, if you can't make the move, all you have to do is pretend you are (taller, more flexible, better) and sometimes she's right. Which I think is about the most rogue thing I can think of.
Foraging episode when?! We already know that Jason can identify rosemary from the shelter video.
Does the Historical Weapons Guild cover Bataireacht? Doing a video on Irish stick fighting or making a shillelagh would be very cool. Maybe for a St. Patrick's day special next year?
This must be a good and fun way of getting into shape. I'm gonna have to check if there are any near my area.

There need to be a planet fitness of rock climbing.. have them everywhere

Juggy Undercling, there's my new Clown Name in Space Station 13.
5:47 *No one has a grip on my jugs like Gaston!*
Used to climb with my dad as a kid, I loved it! This makes me want to pick it up again!
Corey is in the background the whole time like Dad taking the kids to karate practice.
Great work guys, it's been a while since I did some rock climbing but i remember it's really fun.
I hope you try to do wakeboarding on a cable some time, maybe you can get in touch with JB oneill a wakeboarder from Texas and also a youtuber.
Do more of these please!! I wanna see you guys get better.
Man, when Brian said that he’s small I felt that. One of the guys that runs the wall at college is a couple inches taller than me and made a course. However, it fit his height and arm length. I had to jump for that one lol.
I literally saw this right before I went rock climbing
MOAR. This is really cool and I'd like to see you both make it to v5.
Thanks for the content as always MR crew..I'm still waiting for the episode of the dark history of Modern Rouge headquarters....wink..wink
Jason seems like he could actually be good at this. He seemed to grab holds naturaly. Like when he made the pink grab and scaled back down using the other colored rocks.
Outside and inside is very similar? HA! Good one
You definitely make it look fun, every time I see climbing walls I feel like I'd like to try it but I've never been to an actual place that has them.
I've doing this for 2 years and it's funny to see them try and fail
So wholesome! Good job guys!
Bouldering is so damn fun. Also if you don't do it regularly (like me) you inevitably feel like someone beat the shit out of you the next day.
But it’s a good beat the shit out of though
That feeling when you can't open the door out of your room...
@@imTEHninja1 or even squirm in bed
John Sherman used to occasionally climb in flip flop FYI lol
He said jugs. Hahaha
Wow, first for once
And of course it's for the video about my hobby
Love this video!
Y’all should try speed climbing next
I really love your videos keep up the good work

I wish there was a bouldering hall near me. Sucks living in Germany where stuff like this is not as popular.
Odd. I would think this is more popular in Europe
Eating boulders, all kinds of boulders.
You guys should see if you can get magnus mitbo on the show
Jasons bricked up
Hell yeah dudes
good work bois
the only thing harder than memorizing the jargon or climbing is realizing your tendons dont develop as fast as muscles.
I'm an avid climber and I just recovered from knee surgery after an injury bouldering, so I hope everyone stays safe.
Oh great now you have to get Magnus on here.

He might've. This video is like 30% of what happened, edited down for TH-cam algorithm/digestibility.
Brian definitely skipped leg day. Or just busted out about ten Kardashian Kobras before busting out this video. Why his legs shakin?
First. Also are you going to make this a rock climbing series?
😉
@@ModernRogue sweet. Also you should do a video on how to shine shoes
You guys gotta hit up styropyro to learn laser stuff
12:17 Strange that stunt men/women teach that during a back fall, you want your hands to touch first, to spread as much force as possible throughout the body. Here they're just like "No hands. Put your tailbone into the ground"
pretty sure these are rules specifically for the really soft mats and low climbing they are doing here, not general climbing technique.
i'd love to see the guys learn pro wrestling
MR x Magnus Midtbo collab when
No Magnus, but I'm not disappointed. Other than there's no Magnus.:D
I am always surprised at Jason's natural athleticism, considering he's explicitly stated he isn't athletic many, MANY times lol
How have I been watching th-cam.com/users/magmidt88 for years and I learn more about rock climbing in this video lol... great job guys!
i was looking to see if magnus midtbo commented yet. lol
when I used to climb, I remember my 1st instructor saying "make love to the wall, and you won't fall"
EDIT: In other words, keep your hips in!
spooky
You could consider yourselves... head over heels.
