Pro Climbers VS The Impossible Boulder

  • Matilda Söderlund (pro sport climber and technical mastermind) Pete Whittaker (crack & pain expert) and I tackle a very difficult boulder that we've set for ourselves. It contains all the different styles you can imagine, crimps, cracks and slopers, and is very, very hard. Impossible, even? We're about to find out.

    If Matilda goes and do Burden of Dreams, with her finger strength on crimps i feel like it will be downgraded haha

      Just replying to throw extra support beyond upvoting, would love to see Emil and Matilda on BoD!!

    • @noname-dt6sv
      @noname-dt6sv ปีที่แล้ว +16

      lol she's a beast and might be able to do some of the moves on it, but that last move on BoD is absolutely not her style, i'd be surprised if she could ever stick it. still would be really interesting to see her try it though

    • @EmilAbrahamsson
      @EmilAbrahamsson  ปีที่แล้ว +93

      I mean it's for sure a hit or miss. I don't think I know anyone who makes moves look more effortless than Matilda though

    • @BradsSpace2
      @BradsSpace2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Pete looked surprisingly good on the burden replica in the video he did with Will, I think if he dedicated the time he could do pretty well on it too

    • @miguelgazquez5717
      @miguelgazquez5717 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@BradsSpace2 BoD is still 9A, I don't think Pete has ever climbed even 8C ? I mean, it was the same for stefano, but I think it's pretty obvious that stefano is better on this style than Pete.

  • @julen2380
    @julen2380 ปีที่แล้ว +127

    I don't even climb but I found this absolutely fascinating, seeing your completely different style pressure-cooked into one single boulder.

      Oh that's really nice to hear actually. Glad you could also appreciate the video 🙂

    Pete never fails to amaze me. Top 5 climbers of all time imo

  • @mihkelhint
    @mihkelhint ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Pete's mental game is just next fucking level isn't it. You could see from his angry pissed off look when he lost his feet on the crimps and had to hold that swing that he had decided that he is done fucking around and will now climb this boulder problem, no matter how if it actually makes zero sense like in terms of physics and rational world :D

  • @Nick-B78
    @Nick-B78 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    Ok if Matilda DOESN’T go and try BoD then it would be a tragedy as it looks like it’s exactly her sort of thing. The control she’s able to maintain on those tiny holds is mind blowing and with BoD being such a short and intense boulder, I genuinely think she has a great chance of doing it

  • @rxptorgg
    @rxptorgg 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Matilda is just so elegant when she climbs. It’s smooth movements

  • @kieran7655
    @kieran7655 ปีที่แล้ว +68

    Watching Pete climb is always a pleasure. His ability to try hard is inspiring.
    Absolute shout out to Matilda sheer strength on display here was incredible.
    Goes without saying Emil is so strong, it's a rarity to see him have to try this hard in doors. Great video all round.

    @andrewkim9503 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    It's so crazy how casual each of you look through your respective sections. Pete's so crazy well-rounded, but I'd love, love, love to see Matilda on Burden!

  • @jlehm
    @jlehm ปีที่แล้ว +32

    Matilda’s big advantage on the bottom is really her hip flexibility. If you watch you’ll see how easily she can open and rotate her legs around to keep her hips plastered to the wall. Add in some crimp strength and good isometric strength and you can see why she is so good at that style.

  • @solomonreinman7452
    @solomonreinman7452 ปีที่แล้ว +17

  • @terenceli5440

    Petition to ask Matilda try Burden of Dream!!! The way she did the crimp moves so statically just once again shows how strong her fingers are!

    @kavali6320 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    Jesus! Pete's story in this video was better than Moby Dick. What an incredibly epic arc.

    Ive never climbed in my life. I found WideBoyz a year ago and have been a fan since. As a result of this collab, I cant wait to watch Emil and Matilda more! I just appreciate watching humans excel at their craft. Thank you.

  • @verbatim107
    @verbatim107 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think you need a new title for this video to really capture what a journey it turned out to be! Felt like some sort of polar expedition where the crew is close to insanity before finally finishing the mission.

    I think if Pete would have trained comp style bouldering or compression outdoor boulders early in life instead of going on a crack rampage (yes, crack rampage) he would have had the potential to be world class in these styles. So freakin talented in various ways.
