#Bouldering #freesolo #alexhonnold
Next episode with Hon dawg we take him to the highballs in font 👌🏽
The scene at the end is arguably the best thing on TH-cam, all categories
Magnus *IS* a handsome fella, to be honest.
I hope Magnus will see this 😂
you should have been there with them to show who is boss! 😎
@@Daniele.Rossini Emil knows Tony Danza?
Pure gold
Alex honnold being so loyal to Magnus mitbö is the best thing on the internet today. I really love and respect them both so much.
*midtbø
@@lonesome3958 🤣 it auto corrected the accent mark dude. I didn’t select the wrong one, and it’s wild that you’re correcting me from an auto correct error from a YEAR ago.
@@fredflinstone985 I simply pointed out an error you might not have known youd made. How was I supposed to know it was an autocorrect error? No need to be a bitch about it
@@lonesome3958 🤣 yeah I didn’t know, or care. Thanks for “pointing it out.” You’re really out here doing gods work man
I think it was a joke. Alex has a very dry sense of humour, and so do the Brits, so the whole deadpan routine worked very well. None of it was serious.
“I only watch magnus” had me dead
That ending was dead-pan perfection
For real it was the most British humor thing I could’ve asked for
@@allenbell1427 Because of that interaction I was really hoping Alex got british humour... and I'm not even british
B and Alex had great chemistry in that interview
The fact that Toby now frequently appears in Bobat (and Wide Boyz etc) videos is so sweet. Dude's vibes are impeccable and he's super humble given he's one of the best power parkour athletes ever.
Love the cheeky behind-the-camera cameo from Sacha
I met him once at Arch. He is genuinely a really nice guy; I had no idea who he was. He taught me the beta on a dyno.
imagine bouldering in font and "oh shit is that bouldering bobat? oh they brought toby too sick! ALEX HONNOLD?!!??!"
💯 🤣👌
Alex's dry sense of humour is golden.
I'm sorry but Toby just casually walking by unannounced is 👌
That was a moment I realised I may be more of a Segar fan that a Honnold fan. #StorrorArmy
It was so natural I didn't even click until reading this comment
I thought he did parkour only didn’t kno he climbed I was shook🤣
@@kaita1k119 He recently got into it. There's some funny videos with him on the WideBoyz TH-cam channel :)
Really wish there was footage of Toby on helicopter tho. Super fun boulder, gonna try it again in a month. It's just such a weird jump, Honnold makes it look quite casual but it's really not
Alex saying he only watches Magnus was EVERYTHING😂
everything what?
@@oskain When something is so great, beautiful, or awesome that it is everything to you. Often used as a hyperbole to express how much you like something.
"Girl! Your hair is everything. It’s so soft and shiny, you should be a hair model!"
@@oskainESL spotted
It is oddly refreshing to watch Alex climb something that is completely safe.
Apart from Helicoptere, I've seen some insane splaats of off that.... (ambulances etc..)
@@joolsgrommers1466 That hadn’t occurred to me, but totally makes sense! The way the feet cut on the jug could definitely send you flying, hah
He's literally said that 99% of the climbing he does is on a rope lol.
@@bananarama3624 This is true, but most of the videos I get to see of him (including his profiles on Reel Rock) are of him soloing - half dome, moonlight buttress, even “too big to flail” is a massive highball etc etc
There’s not a ton of footage of Alex doing random bouldering at normal heights
If you asked him whether he would trust his life on a route he has dialed or a flash attempt on a sandstone font test piece then what do you think he would say…
"He likes leaves" - the timing and the delivery of this had me 😂😂
10:10
Absolutely love to see such a great collaboration, glad to see Toby there stepping up his game too
Honestly, he's irritatingly good at climbing now! 💪
That closing of the video was hilarious!😂
“I only watch Magnus”
Those Nordic good looks keeps winning out
Toby Segar seems to be almost an honorary bobat at this point. Love it.
When Alex said "when Vikings do it, it's not that impressive. but when Brits do it, that's like a ball of muscle" that had me dying lol
Not to state the obvious here, but 0:48 showcases just how insanely good Alex is at NOT falling lol.
Loved so much about that episode!
Outside. Honnold. B & JP playing with leaves. Joe holding infant. Annie giggles behind the camera. Tom & Omar power duo
and toby is just tis bigfoot ginger lurking in the back xd
I love how Honnold is always smiling and up for a joke! 😂
Lovely stuff from everyone!! Great video.
Alex rated that boulder Two Geeze-Louises
Alex is awesome but also glad to see a lot of the comment sections was hyped like me when seeing Toby! Love that guy!
"Is that really how you close videos" 😂😂😂
Alex Honnold = instant like! Toby Segar out of nowhere, too! Amazing climbs as well, great episode! :)
Rewatched the ending literally 5 times. Comedy gold 😂
The end of this video is the best piece of media you guys have ever put out and it's not even close!
that last conversation was the best part of this video
"is that really how you close videos"?
YES, and please don't change it! We need to hear about that one time B took a shit.
L’Abattoir was the first 7a in Fontainebleau. The joker was given 6c in 1953 when it was first done but then a hold broke after L’Abattoir was done and it increased in grade to 7a.
Good knowledge ! 👌
Also the higher foothold to the left of the undercling that they used is not supposed to be used as it's an eliminant problem. Never knew it was given 6c at first though, nice bit of history, thanks!
Are the grades used in the video Font-grades or French?
@@RewildingFlanders French is for sport climbing, so it's Font grades.
@@BoulderingBobat Hi what is that Hendrix mix playing in the background? :)
I remember working a problem once in the late 90's and Francois Legrand was stealing my beta. I told him he should probably go first and work out better beta and he told me it was his first time to Fontainebleau and he wasn't used to bouldering. I told him, since he was the reigning World Cup lead champion surely he'd work out better beta than I could come up with. He was a nice humble guy to work a problem with. I've had so many great memories like this climbing in the forest...
Congratulations to Alex, climbing l'Abattoir so easily while not used to bouldering in Fontainebleau is a huge success. To me you are the Best climber worldwide !
The amount of foot slips on that flash ascent was astounding. I would have touched the ground on the first one but somehow he hangs on.
Had no clue he could speak french so well
@@SwainixFPV I think his mom was a French teacher?
Alex's reaction to B's classic outro though 🤣
I've been waiting for someone to take Honnold bouldering! What a guy
I could have watched 2 hours of Honnold x Bobat bouldering in Font.
came for Alex, stayed for Bs ending
what an epic video :D that scene at the end is the best thing I've seen in a long time
Had to come find this video after hearing Toby talk about the experience in their podcast. Happy to hear there's another video coming from you giving him more screentime! Although Alex is always fun to watch too 😊
I was climbing in bas cuvier for my stag do a few weeks back, mostly climbing marie rose. We met Alex at the end of the day as we were heading out. Really nice guy.
With Parcour & Bouldering both being birthed in Paris, it must’ve been a crazy time back in the 20’s. BTW PA’s (Pierre Alian) shoes were available I believe
so delighted
I love that Toby is also just here.... what a guy!
All endings need to be like this. Loved it.
Absolute TH-cam gold 🎉
And the ending is just brilliant 😂
Good to see JP again!
that scene at the end was comedy gold. "is that really how you close your videos" had me rolling
Loved the ending!!! "Between Two Boulders With Bouldering Bobat."
More closes like that would make this channel hit 1 trillion in no time
Fontainebleau...oh how I miss it.
The scene at the end was so hilarious!
The bobat cinematic universe looking lit
Dudes! This is the winner of the youtube Oscars! Never enjoyed a youtube video this much, and I watch a lot :)
Funny enough the first vid of yall I watched was the free solo problem recreation. Full circle!
havnt watched you guys in so long and its kinda crazy how much yall have matured. its kinda cool
Alex and B were EVERYTHING
I just realized that I've watched way too much climbing related content and have zero climbing experience. That's gonna change soon :)
Thanks for sharing!
Been to bleau once, it took my footwork game to another level. Lots of the problems have nothing, don’t know how the old timers did it without modern shoes.
Seeing Toby walk by in the background has me nearly as hyped as seeing Alex in the thumbnail!
haha, very good vid. Those are absolute classics ! I hope you have sent Alex on " La Stalingrad" on the next one. Another milestone on the path to becoming a real "Bleausard"
I came beacuse of alex and i stay because of the closing. Awsome!
13:53, love the dry close
THAT END!!! 🤣
Most socialised climbers ever at the end
Gents, you are making amazing videos - I want to make sure you are all aware of that❤
I think this is the first time I've seen Honnold fall off of something.
Toby and Alex in the same video? Wild!
Brilliantly, can’t believe I’ve just noticed this vid before. Now going to find out if any brits have done a one arm muscle up😆👏
I love how Toby is just there as well
great little video guys!
this was so rad. the ending bit was hilarious
toby sega and alex honnold in the same vid. TY bobat!
The ending is epic! lol too much time in the pub :P
Best outro of all time, hands-down.
I've only been to Font once, back in 1982. This was still before sticky rubber and pads, as well as chalk: You were only supposed to use some natural resin (from fir trees?). I don't remember a single boulder we did, but I do remember being blown away by ancient (so 40-60 years old?) local climbers who seemed to simply flow up the walls, doing their daily circuits. :-)
You are still only supposed to use resin if you must use something. Chalk is frowned upon.
@@LetalisLatrodectus Frowned upon by old-school bleausards, maybe, though it's still very widely used over pof (resin).
@@LetalisLatrodectus Although puf is much worse for the longevity of the climbs. Just use less chalk
That ending was gold
"Is that really how you close videos?" Bwahahahah
just did marie rose today on my first font trip! absolutely QUALITY climb and great vid :))
Hahaha the end had me laughing soooo hard!
Love it, and great interview at the end
Love seeing Toby there!
Best video close yet.
I came for Alex and found Toby of Storror moonlighting! He is literally taking his parcour to new heights
Outro got me in tears :D:D:D love it
"Is that really how you close videos?"
Ha hahahahah okay I loved the ending! Made me laugh.
The end was awkward, goofy. But also quite funny
:o)
Alex Honnold viens de dire " je ne regarde que Magnus" quel fierté pour lui
"Is that really how you close your videos!?" 😂😂
a random Toby Segar appears! I was taken by surprise
Closings on point 🕯
Alex is so funny. And so is Beidrik
This guy is just such a different class of a climber
Lol the ending to that video had me dyin 🤣
Excellent video lads
Such a freaking crazy awesome video!!
I was kinda waiting for barefoot Charles to emerge from his cave at anypoint
holy hell the boys have made it big time!
Instant classic! Great video!
Best closing ever
"What would Adam Ondra do?"
"He'd be on the floor visualising"
lmao
The end was gold 😂
