@@adamhaas141 That’s AWESOME! I’m super excited to hear that. I think you’ll like them a lot and I look forward to hearing about your experience with them - as will Austin from Climbing Culture. I do appreciate that they keep their prices reasonable… that’s one of the things that made it an easy Yes for me to partner with Climbing Culture 👍🏻👍🏻 By the way, are you keeping all 3 to brush thrice as quickly? 😄 Or will you be gifting some of them?
@@augustclimbing Yeah, I look forward to testing them out myself.🙂Austin sent me a nice email straight away, so they're a 10/10 so far.😄 Was figuring I might just stockpile the brushes, but maybe I'll donate one or two to the training-for-climbing gym of which I'm a member. It's a small gym with boards and cool stuff to help climbers get strong.💪 Might be interesting to see what other climbers think and see how the brushes perform deployed in a gym environment.🤔
@@adamhaas141 I love it! Yeah I know Climbing Culture would love feedback on the brushes both now and as you (and others) use them over the long term. It’s the first production run of this brush, and I’ve been really happy with it so far, but even small suggestions will help with future iterations to make it even better 👍🏻👍🏻
I love it, haha, boulder bros are welcome here. I definitely enjoy bouldering the most as well. Good call on first ascents though... that's a huge factor that determines a climb's news/noteworthiness. Thanks so much for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻
I am a non climber who like to watch climbing videos and like learning about what is being climbed, Both bouldering and sport climbing. I really appreciate the times people climb "classic" routes and you are able to provide the historical context.
Hi, David! That's super cool to hear. I always love learning more about my audience and it's helpful to know that there is interest from non-climbers as well! I've often thought that providing context is one of the values I'm able to provide on this channel, so I'm glad to hear you say that. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment 👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video August, keep up the great work! I'm mostly psyched on bouldering but I still love hearing about sport since it motivates me to get out more haha
Hi, Jake! Thanks so much for your kind words. Sames for me in terms of being psyched about bouldering but hearing about what's going on across the board is nice too! Nice profile pic by the way... is that some type of urban bouldering or are you climbing on real rock?
Hi, Mark! Thanks for your input. I do enjoy alpine climbing and mountaineering. It's something I've considered covering on this channel. I'm not quite sure yet if I'll be including it, but it's helpful to know that there's interest 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey, Andrew! Thanks for your input. I’m pretty much the same… but like you said it’s good to keep up on news in the other disciplines too! I appreciate your comment 👍🏻👍🏻
Bouldering or route climbing?😲 Bro, is this some sort of weird trick question?!🤨 Whatever the case, my answer is, yes, please!😃 In all seriousness, tho, I'm more interested in the magnitude of the accomplishment than whether it's boulder, sport, trad, or even something else like Tom Randall's sick buildering first ascent.
Hey, Adam! Haha, perhaps it IS a trick question... and you've passed the test 😆 Yeah, magnitude is a great way to think about it. For example, it's not every day that someone sends a V17 or 9c, so those stories easily rise to the top as something newsworthy/noteworthy. I appreciate your comment as always 👍🏻👍🏻
Great content as always mate. I think you have a very unique style of showcasing climbing news and it’s very engaging. If anything, maybe it could be shorter videos, just to account for modern short attention spans.
Hey, Alvaro! It's great to hear from you 👍🏻 I appreciate the idea... I'll see how I can incorporate varying lengths of content in the months ahead. TH-cam recently announced that Shorts can be up to 3 minutes in length starting mid this month. So perhaps I'll experiment with some things in that range too. Thanks so much for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey, Ruben! It's hard to beat bouldering, isn't it 😉 In recent years, it's become my favorite climbing discipline to follow and practice. Thanks for your input 👍🏻👍🏻
A strong opinion has been shared! I love it 😀 I have to say I fall a bit more on enjoying bouldering the most... but it's hard not to get inspired by insane 9c routes from Adam Ondra and the like. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻

Just snagged three of those Climbing Culture brushes.😀 At least for my order, that was $27 out-the-door with free shipping and tax included. Not bad!😁

Personally I watch for mainly the bouldering news but having a little bit of both is very nice!😊
Awesome, that's helpful to known! I definitely lean toward bouldering as well... but variety is good. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm a boulder bro so bouldering is my vote! honestly above all though, first ascents of any kind are the coolest news imo.

Both but bouldering if I have to pick!
Hey, Austin! Same for me!! But I'll definitely keep both 👍🏻👍🏻

Mainly bouldering in my focus but of course any record level ascent is interesting including mountaineering, trad, sport etc
That makes sense! Bouldering is my favorite as well, but it's helpful to know there is interest across disciplines. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻
bouldering news for me please 😊💪 i love your vids August! 🙌
I love it! That's helpful to know... I definitely enjoy bouldering the most too! Thanks so much for your comment and kind words 👍🏻👍🏻
I would appreciate it if you would cover Alpine climbing.
Hi, Mark! Thanks for your input. I do enjoy alpine climbing and mountaineering. It's something I've considered covering on this channel. I'm not quite sure yet if I'll be including it, but it's helpful to know that there's interest 👍🏻👍🏻
Sport for me.
Hey, JB! Thanks for your input. I'll be sure to keep the sport climbing news in the mix 👍🏻👍🏻
Bouldering ... but enjoy relevant news in other aspects of rock climbing too.
Hey, Andrew! Thanks for your input. I’m pretty much the same… but like you said it’s good to keep up on news in the other disciplines too! I appreciate your comment 👍🏻👍🏻
Both!
Hi, Logan! I appreciate your feedback... I'll definitely plan to keep talking about both 👍🏻👍🏻
I like the variety but I’m much more into sport climbing and trad climbing news most.
That's helpful to know! I'll definitely keep the variety. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻

i like both but buldring is cooler
Hey, Ruben! It's hard to beat bouldering, isn't it 😉 In recent years, it's become my favorite climbing discipline to follow and practice. Thanks for your input 👍🏻👍🏻
Obviously both, but everyone knows Sport is way superior. Even though there's a lot more bouldering going on.
A strong opinion has been shared! I love it 😀 I have to say I fall a bit more on enjoying bouldering the most... but it's hard not to get inspired by insane 9c routes from Adam Ondra and the like. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻
