Something along these lines would be a nice addition: "For a project like this, I think it is necessary to have two chalk bags on me.

This video is great! You really will meet all these types of climbers because I have been climbing for just one year and have already encountered like all of this. The sad thing is, this video really isn't exaggerated as much as you might think.
Climbers' jargon!! (like you included in how to be a skier, road biker, etc..) to include any of the following: Slap, sloper, slab, pinch, crimp, cross over, jug, heal hook, bat hang, overhang, undercling, monopocket, side pull, layback, drop knee, highball, lowball, dyno, whipper, traverse, comp, cruxy, crimpy, juggy, chossy, pumpy, varnish, hueco, sandstone, limestone, granite, solid, hollow, run out, heady, onsight, red point, flash, lead, top rope, belay, dirtbag, chimney, offwidth, arete, cut feet, crack, stem, static, dynamic, greasy, grigri, pas, atc, ipa, locker, nut, cam, hex, dog bone, quickdraw, figure eight, clove hitch, munter hitch, back clipped, z-clipped, sandbagged, wag bag, anchors, bolts, crash pad, downturned, aggressive, approach, flapper, beached whale, top out, tufa, bomber, beta, crag jam, hand jam, foot jam, ring lock, knee bar, foot chip, finger board, break hand, ape index, multi pitch, sport, trad, bouldering, buildering, free soloing....to name a few :P Power sounds - Tssssaah!! Tsssst!! Talking beta should've included more climbers' jargon (still funny though) Boulderer should have the dude with loads of chalk slap hands together a few times and make the guy next to him start coughing and rubbing his eyes XD All in all, "This video ROCKS." Would be awesome to break this one down into different how to's for gym climbers, sport climbers, trad climbers, and boulderers (perhaps even alpinists and ice climbers too :P). Now that would keep you busy for a while! It would also help break down that massive list of jargon I wrote, haha.
Step Whatever: Alienate all your non-rock climbing friends by describing the climbs you did in "rock speak" e.g. So yeah, placed this number 4 after chimneying for 15 feet then transitioned to this traverse for a wicked run out. I was so glad when hit this nice jug at the end.
After hand heeling on this sick sloper crimp coming from a gross bicycle off of start pinch I was able to throw to left pocket and campus a crossover to finish. Pretty hard VIntro if I'm being honest..
When your non-climber friends join you at the bar after a wicked day at the crags.. "Yo, that laid back crossover you did just before the crux of Filthy Pigeon was so sick. I thought you were gonna peel and rip that manky little .3 for sure." "For real you stuck that jesus hold like it was the last thing you'd ever do." "Ya that ledge felt so close.. I was so ready to deck." ... "Hey you guys wanna order some chicken wings?"
I alienate all my groups of friends unless they meet in a perfect venn diagram of metalheads/climbers/artists. Julie D is the only person who understands all three. She's my unicorn.
this is so true. I see people at my climbing gym who will just put a carabiner on their water bottle or back pack for no reason. One person came to the gym with a massive climbing backpack that there was no way was completely full and he felt the need by screaming to everyone that he is a climber by clipping not one, but TWO pairs of climbing shoes to his back pack.
@@jasperfeldschuh3644 Well, even if I had room in my bag I wouldn't want my nasty shoes in there, also some shoes are better for different things so sometimes it will help you out to switch shoes
The one thing you missed is "walking by and saying hello" and them replying instantly " I've been climbing for 10 years.". Every climber I have ever met tells me how long they have climbed instantly. Great video though, I laughed all the way through.
Yes! I'm a salesman at a bike shop. You get the most ridiculous questions like "do you fix motorcycles, scooters, wheel barrows, etc." or the people who are like "I'm looking for a 26x1.95 tube" and when you give a 26x1.5-2.2 tube they will be like "that's not the right size!" (face palm)
at our shop we used to joke about how there needs to be a reality tv show about working in a bicycle shop, but then we realized 90% of the population wouldn't understand half the humor. However I'd still pay to watch if someone did it! :)
Whippers and lead head need to make it in here :-). E.g., something on learning to fall, working on your lead head, or taking victory whips. Also would be funny to have a bit on inconsistent grading in the gyms ("dude this can't be a 5.11a. It has to be a 13 a or b cause I would have onsighted the 11a no problem"), or how you have to down grade when going outdoors. Soooo funny. Thanks for posting!
Shit, i sport a pretty long curtain undercut myself, so i absolutelly have to wear a man bun i i want to climb without non stop touching my hair(it still looks terrible)
Great video! Perhaps you could add: Always add an extra grade to your outdoor climbs and madly embellish your achievements when reporting back to friends at your local indoor climbing gym.
Summer 2016 I watched the how to be a mountain bike as I was getting into that. I though it was hilarious and that you did a great job on the video. Now I'm seeing this and think it's all time funny!!!
get facinated bye things like icefalls while climbing, i and my dad was at a sport crag in winter time and we just got facinated of the ice that were falling while we climbed
They missed the fact that people always think they're a better climber because they rainbow up the wall ( because they never climbed before ) and you fell in a v5
You don’t need cams and nuts just go inside for fifty bucks a day which is less than the 2K for a standard rack for the amount of time you will actually be climbing
Abbreviations give a general idea of the overall difficulty, the number with a lower case letter gives an indication of how hard the crux is. It's a better system for trad because it gives more information rather than just a single grade.
Don't forget passing every wall on every building and saying "I could climb that." Or crimping every ledge you see.
i feel targeted
Feel like you're stalking me.
Danu Garbarino i can relate...now i can’t stop climbing my houses ledges...help
can you read my mind
I did not ask for this attack
I didn't realise that my life was missing a crimp mug until this video
I totally want one :D
Same
Rather have a jug mug
Oh gosh
SAME LMAO
I've been climbing for over 20 years and this video was SPOT ON!
That's a bloody big rock face that you're claiming there.
Except for the fact they put tape as a non essential 😶
Vincent Cocciolone true
Vincent Cocciolone i
Lol ive been climbing for half a year and i agree lmao
Step 22: Accept the fact that the climbing gym is now basically your home, and your actual home is only used for sleeping.
Dude, for the way from the gym to home you need ten minutes or so, in this time you could train on the moonboard. You can just sleep in the gym!
right
My gym has a shower
Why is this so true!?
@@josephschade5783 ten minutes?! I need 50 :(
You forgot about the bare foot 12 year old who never wears a harness, and is somehow way better then you.

Who the hell needs chalk, buncha gym climbers you are!
greg guerra nobody climbs without chalk...... it’s arguably the most important gear other than shoes .
Boulderers are always shirtless and wear beanies. Geesh guys.
And jeans
your hands never have enough chalk but the boulder always has too much chalk. there is no such thing as the right amount.

Very funny but you forgot to be shirtless for your "real" tries!

You forgot always blaming the belayer for everything
Think I first heard "You totally hosed me on the clip" sometime around 1988.
David Dornian it was clearly your fault that someone else couldn't climb something. All you.
It’s actually a thing. News flash, me short roping you for a split second is not the reason you fell.

I’ve watched this so many times the first way before I even thought about climbing now I’m a climber and it’s so fun to comeback and watch
"Where’s my?... Where’s my number two?" killed me
Look man, I woulda flashed it if I had more chalk
Or less chalk, sometimes you have a little too much

That wasnt a crimp mug it was a pinch mug. His thumb would be over his pointer finger for a crimp making it impossible to hold.

Oh yea, I love hopping on those E4 3b +- 2xy RRR rated routes in the UK. Your system boggles my brain
"Rockfax" has a really good chart comparing all the different grades.
The UK system is better though because it gives a lot more information.
Abbreviations give a general idea of the overall difficulty, the number with a lower case letter gives an indication of how hard the crux is. It's a better system for trad because it gives more information rather than just a single grade.
The French system has to be the easiest :)
The euro system is as stupid as the metric system...
