      I wanna know how strong he is! There’s not really any footage of him training or showing his true physical limit unless it’s on the wall, which is pretty hard to gauge from looking at a screen. On screen v17 looks like v10 but in reality, I wouldn’t even be able to hang on these holds

    It's spectacular to watch an incredible climber who actually loves the sport. Usually pros are so angry, so frustrated, yelling, freaking out... It's clear that Shawn actually enjoys projecting. He enjoys failing as much as he enjoys sending. Shawn makes me want to project myself differently at the crag... Maybe one day everyone can embody Raboutou.

Or that Messi doesn't "truly" love soccer because he yells at a referee? Insane take

    So hyped for this chanel! Shawn is such a humble strong guy. Watched him before on mellow and I was always so hyped about videos with him, you always knew it will be banger when Shawn was in the video. For me there is something about him. Of course he is really strong but there was always something about his dressing style and his vibe. So now being able to see behind the scenes is like a dream! Keep it up man! You are my inspiration.

    Recently listened to an episode of the Nugget Climbing Podcast comparing the differences and similarities between climbing style and approach to projecting between Shawn and Aidan.

    It seemed to me the difference was where Shawn was holding his torso. Aiden's was lower right, I think, so when he made the move, his torso stayed mostly stationary. When Shawn made the move, his torso would swing through and take him right off the wall.
    Not that I am anyone to tell a V17 climber what to do, but just my observation.
