" her friend brooke"
Being Brooke Raboutou, another of the best climbers in the world.
so if things aren't going your way, take a break, shift your mindset.
Natalia crushed it last year
Natalia is the goat. Literally never watched climbing before but she hooked me in when I stumbled on the first World Cup in 2021. She hasn’t slowed down at all. She just won again today. Love her
Her win today was SICK. That little smile she gave after latching the dyno on W3??? I hope to someday have as much fun as Natalia does competing for world cups
Watching SLC live was absolutely spectacular!
Looking at the USA team this year; they're going to be a force to recon with. Especially the women's with Natalia, Brooke and Kylie.
I love your videos, great work in analyzing climbers and their styles/strenghts. I think Sean Villanueva O’Driscoll could be interesting for a future video. His solo reverse traverse of the Fitz Roy is insane on its own.
Killer edit - her blind hand adjustment at 7:52 was savage!
I've never seen her not smile. I started thinking she just has one of those resting smile faces.
Great video! I love your breakdowns and look forward to the next.
love this content ! keep it coming!
Dude, amazing research you did. Love your vids
that was a really smooth transition to squarespace
bro you sniped me with that ad transition. sheeeesh thanks for the videos
I love your work !
I was always curious how Natalia went from doing average to being the main challenger for Janja. Do you think it was completely a mental transition? Some sports psychology?
As usual, great and entertaining analysis by the way
I have an interview coming out with her in a few days where she talks about it! I think it was mostly mental, plus some strength/skill improvements that we didn't see because of COVID cancelling a bunch of competitions
It also looks as though she shaved off a large amount of weight between the older and newer clips. I wonder if she addresses this too?
Thank you for your video, great analysis !
I agree that Natalia is becoming one of the best climbers out there, and she seems to be having a lot of fun. However, I'm still pretty worried about her weight loss those last couple of years. Being that skinny for a 20 years old athlete is definitely not healthy.
Eating disorders is the climbing scene is definitely a thing, and it needs to be adressed; the young new scene seems to be struggling a lot with it.
I can’t comment on Natalia specifically, but I do agree that it seems to be a problem (Janja sort of touches on it in her Enormo interview. it’s obviously not my place to talk about it, but if you have any ideas on how to address it I’m all ears!!
@@ascentionism I agree, we do not know if Natalia is struggling, but I feel like the new generation of champions is overwhimgly young and petite because the routes are set for those types of morphology (Natalia's performance is Seoul made me think about that a lot). And because is makes it somehow more exciting to watch, I guess ?
I recommand reading Stasa's interviews about her battle against eating disorders, or the documentary 'Light', it made me realize how prevalent this problem is in the climbing community.

Natalia might be the most exciting up and comer but everything she does Janja still does better. She basically had to flash Salt Lake finals last year to win. Still very impressive but you absolutely have to have your best climbing day every to beat Janja.
In other words, she “basically” beat Janja. Period. Not sure you’re in any position to judge whether Natalia had her “best climbing day every (sic).”
@@dormilon36 doesnt matter how I judge it. They faced of in 3 Worldcups and Janja won 2 and went 2nd where Natalia had to flash everything in order to win. Im not saying she isnt world class. Im just saying that you cant suddently say Natalia is the best climber when she beat her out in a direct confrontation 1 out of 3 times
@@dormilon36 if you think natalia grossman is the best female boulderer you have to go into a mental assylum
have you watched a single comp with janja in it?
You’re so rational and sensible !!!!!!! Natalia is really really good at climbing . But janja is really really really really really great at climbing period
does anybody have a full clip of the sequence at 00:17?
For the knee bar, I'm pretty sure it was the Moscow 2021 Lead Finals - i also have a video on it that probably has more detail
Top 3 Female Upcoming Superstars - Natalia Grossman, Melina Costanza, Ai Mori
Top 3 Male Upcoming Superstars - Mejdi Schlack, Sean Bailey, Mikael Mawem
Bailey is 26 and Mawem is 30+ I don't think you can call them upcoming!
totally agreed with your female choices!!
Where is Oriane Bertone ? She's 17 and already a beast
We're getting ahead of ourselves calling Natalia "One of the best climbers in the world".
She is awesome, but it's way to soon to call her one of the best in the world, unless you're expanding that list a lot. She has 2 victories at soft world cups (many of the best did not compete) and very few hard outdoor ticks.
Will she be the best in the world one day? Quite possibly.
Is she currently top 5? Not yet.
Her outdoor résumé might not be as impressive, but that’s quite common with other competitors, what about the Tomoa, Kokoro, Miho, Akyio all of them are considered among the best in the world, why shouldn’t we consider Natalia to be among them? She won the Boulder overall and finished second in Lead and yeah it might have bin a bit easier this year due to the olympics nonetheless climbing multiple V11+ Boulders, finishing first and second in the overalls this year isn’t the work of a prospect but of a world class athlete.
Which climbers would you rate as higher than her?
imo, Janja is #1 no question. #2 Grossman. #3 Mori. #4 Miho. #5 Rogora/Raboutou
She's right up there with the best females and consistently performs well now. I don't think its a stretch at all.
PS. no one has ever beat Janja when she topped all 4 boulders until Grossman.
@@Metalgear222 are you insane??? how can you put mori in top 5???
cheyun is much better
@@ljp3639 Tamoa flashed V14, wish i wouldn't call normal for comp climbers.
@@MiuraZx10r yeah of course he is an exceptional climber, but as a toptier climber he compares himself to Dwood, Webb, Cameroni and Ondra and everyone of them has a better résumé, however I do not think Tomoa is worse than them.
But we also need to talk about their body weight here.... In 2021 Natalia was suddenly so thin... This does not look healthy and should not be a role model for young climbers. The IFSC must finally introduce a meaningful BMI
yeah she is amazing, like janja but worse
Please, don't do "smooth" ad transitions. It feels gross and violating. Just say "here is an ad from my sponsor". Thank you.
This is so unnecessarily rude. Ima leave it at that
😊
How tf is it violating?
You get to watch free, great content that this guy had to put a lot of work into & yet still find the nerve to make a complaint about that? Now THAT is gross,
Great videos. What is your official TH-cam username? I made a discord and want the bot to auto post your videos for everyone to watch :)!
Oh that's so nice! As far as I know my username is just Ascentionism? Or is there a different username I should be looking for
@@ascentionism I found it! It was actually just your name, caps mattered as it would turn out. The bot works and auto posted your video for everyone to watch! Woot woot
And she's absolutely fucking gorgeous
