Being from Jersey, this one really hits close to home. I’ve always wanted to go bouldering in Central Park but I think I’ll pass honestly and just go to the vital rooftop 😂 Awesome video keep it up boys
@@82Seannn I’ve gone to sourlands actually once! Really awesome area but definitely scary with the hillyness at the first set of climbs with Polar bear and impact factor. I absolutely love outdoor bouldering
the central park polishing is actually so insane, im from here so rat rock east is like, my little wall i try and go to once a week or so, your feet slide off it like its wet despite it being a week since last rainfall, so sick to see you guys climbing my "home rock"
If you want ropes, go to The Cliffs, LIC or Gowanus. And frankly at this point I'd go to The Cliffs for bouldering too until Gp-81 opens back up. But CRG and Metrorock are cool too.
@@Aaron-xq6hv i thought so, like hardest I've bouldered last year is like 7b and i walked in and flashed most v8s, couple of v9s and did all their v10s. It seemed a bit too good to be true
i used to be a member there. felt kind of soft when i was but when i went back recently it felt like it had gotten harder. kind of has a strange vibe though. feels like a wework climbing gym. or like a modern coffee shop. definitely cool to get a day pass though as the roof is pretty awesome and there’s just so many problems
I'm gonna be that guy, but the hold you used on the Polish traverse right above / next to the Sloper is actually off. Also, next time you come here please go to a better gym and not Equinox-with-Bouldering.
Vital is one of the best gyms in the city and its great to climb on the roof on a nice day. Just because its bougie doesn't mean its a bad gym, get over yourself
@@kevind668 Basically any of the rest of them. If you want ropes, The Cliffs at either LIC or Gowanus is your main choice (Harlem is bouldering only). Whenever GP-81 opens up again, it is *the* bouldering gym, and the direct opposite of Vital. The Gentrification of the area around Vital stole their building, but they have a few leads on opening back up. You can see the Magnus video where he goes there if you want. Beyond that, CRG and Metrorock are fine, BKB is on life-support and Bouldering Project hasn't reopened yet so I can't say much about it. If you're on a budget and want to go to the OG gym then Manhattan Plaza is fun, it's not bad, but it's definitely a time capsule into what gyms in the 90s were like. One thing to know about CRG in the city, they're bouldering only (one gym has like 3 routes shoved behind a staircase) unlike the other CRGs outside the city.
woah i used to go to vital! super nice facility and the roof is really cool. i ended up switching gyms cuz i never really had that great of a community experience there and it gets pretty packed often. switched to metrorock bushwick in brooklyn which is much more enjoyable. plus has ropes. fun to visit vital though. hope you guys had a great time in the city!

Boulder in Sourlands Preserve in NJ or Governor Dicks Park in PA

I absolutely love outdoor bouldering
I think central park is still worth the visit! But that Vital rooftop was so fun!
Insane video quality, keep up the good work.
Thanks!!
Visited both rat rock and the Vital climbing gym last spring, thank you for this video!
Went to vital climbing gym while traveling in may and it was one of the highlights of NYC for me, awesome rooftop
Shoutout to the gym playing Men I Trust at 8:21
Hey! It us on your video, It was a pleasure to meet you guys! :) :) Cheers
I’m at 54 seconds into the video and this is by far the best damn intro to any TH-cam video I’ve ever seen.
Damn well done son. Damn well done.
Went to NYC for a school trip, saw the chalk on boulders in Central Park and was very disappointed I didn’t have time to try them
ayee glad to finally catch a video right as its posted :)
Love the silly goofy vibe of this video💯
Thanks!
Awesome video work, keeping the audience hooked nicely. Keep it up!
Amazing video. As always ❤
Hows the landing on the rooftop? Looks gnarly
Its not great. Pretty hard but the rubbery shit takes away a decent amount of impact.
Dude it kind of hurt
the central park polishing is actually so insane, im from here so rat rock east is like, my little wall i try and go to once a week or so, your feet slide off it like its wet despite it being a week since last rainfall, so sick to see you guys climbing my "home rock"
Haha - the polishing just adds another level of challenge. Makes you super grateful to go back to more textured boulders
Man I wish I could come hear!!
Keep it up Noah ❤
it starts like a comedy, then it continuing as one too :D I like the light mood of it, thanks for the work!
Thanks!
Have you ever fell or know someone who has and what happens when you do
This summer I'm going to NY for my first time. Can't wait to try the climbing gyms of the city! If you have any suggestions pls reply 😊
ive heard the vital gym has a cool rooftop climbing area
If you want ropes, go to The Cliffs, LIC or Gowanus. And frankly at this point I'd go to The Cliffs for bouldering too until Gp-81 opens back up. But CRG and Metrorock are cool too.
That intro was so damn good, instant like 👍
This is awesome where I live there are no boulder. I just need to go to my climbing gym
i have bouldered there
Hey Noah I was just wondering when you do outdoor climbing by yourself what gear do you use? How do you set it up?
Dope
Damn i didn't know Jaskier could climb like that
I hope someone have made a SpongeBob SquarePants pad. Would look hilarious.
Is there anyone who's a regular at vital? Went there a while back while on vacation and its super fresh but the grades felt really soft compared to EU
It's gotten harder now. I think they got new route setters too from GP81 when it closed down
The grades there are incredibly soft. The first 4 colors there are basically V0.
@@Aaron-xq6hv i thought so, like hardest I've bouldered last year is like 7b and i walked in and flashed most v8s, couple of v9s and did all their v10s. It seemed a bit too good to be true
@@Angus_fO Yea that sounds about right to me. Honestly the Kilter board (and the spray wall) there is probably the best climbing in the gym.

what a masterpiece of a video. big props to the editor.
Thanks!
i need to know what that outro song is
Burger Flip by Manyuko
thx mate@@NoahKane
i just know u got dirty looks on the subway for carrying crashpads on the subway

what gyms in NYC are good?
also is CRG any good?

@@kevind668I’ve been to both their locations in NYC and they’re decent. Grading is a bit on the easy side compared to my home gym though.

Noah you're great but ditch the lake AF mud water sponsorship. They are the worst.
rat city
I would hate to live in a city like that
Makes me want to visit NY now! Such good vibes 🙌
We need you next time Ozzy!
Didn't you already come with Magnus?
I feel like Rifle might have this place beat for the amount of polish you find on the holds. So slick
woah i used to go to vital! super nice facility and the roof is really cool. i ended up switching gyms cuz i never really had that great of a community experience there and it gets pretty packed often. switched to metrorock bushwick in brooklyn which is much more enjoyable. plus has ropes. fun to visit vital though. hope you guys had a great time in the city!
Didn't expect to see the Vital gym. I climb at the Vital in Bellingham, WA and it puny in comparison to NY...
The real climbing in NYC is the buildering, There's so much infrastructure to explore!
Idk how I missed this video, I haven’t seen any of your videos in a while Noah, keep it up
Loved the intro, sweet video!
2nd
Im from nyc& this is stupid. Its not that type of park and i love bouldering.
I'm not sure what you're saying, people have been Bouldering in Central Park since at least the 70s, probably earlier.
damn chicago looks really nice
