As a guy who climbs and does bjj. This was super cool m8.
That first sponsor shoutout was really weird.
Jumpscare
It's always amazing to see how niche climbing is for strength and mobility. Seeing people who excel in other sports and have strength and technique for days appear to struggle must be pretty humbling for them.
I would love to see people from multiple other sports try it. My money would be on the gymnasts, followed by some of the more dynamic fighters (Taekwon-Do, Karate, etc.) and decathlon. Last would probably be everyone with tons of weight, like sumo. But who knows.
@@nilsp9426 I've found that as a regular human, it varies so much. I came from cycling and running, so my climbing is better than my bouldering due to a decent endurance base, but was clearly lacking in lats / grip strength. This in time can naturally be made better. But I agree that I'd like to see other sportspersons of good quality try climbing and bouldering. Magnus has had a few. As you have likely seen, parkour transitions well.
@@nilsp9426 ninja warrior athletes definitely. They do the same kind of finger and grip conditioning
Love these types of videos! But man, Louis has to balance out some wins for the new climbers. Dan was clearly feeling pretty defeated there!
a guy like Dan wont be bothered, you have to take a lot of L’s to get as good at jiu-jitsu as he is.
Yeah thought we would get like a ramp up, Dan trying some easier routes first and gaining confidence. Kinda seems like Louis had him try that tough black overhang as his very first route.
He did really well! 👍
Those are legit challenging holds/angles for beginners
Thanks for not editing me and my bro out of the opening seconds of the vid hahaha we saw a camera and now am so happy to be in the background of your video 😁
Love that surfshark jump ad moment
Nothing makes me happier than someone learning to climb while they have chalk on their face
it's not chalk
@@Crazyoldman84 Yeah... he just has a patch of white hair on his tache.
absolute beast Dan! You smashed this! For being this new, just daring to stand on those tiny feet is amazing!
This is the best!
They are so warm and wholesome.
I want more of them doing videos together.
And I want see Dan trying some routes that he ends up completing. Give him something a bit easyer.
:o)
Come to think of it, medium-stiff shoes probably feel quite soft when you're as built and heavy as him trying to stand on those small footholds on the balance problem.
Great video!! Dan definitely has some natural climbing talent :')
Loving the crossover between my two favourite sports. 👋 to Dan!
Louis is seriously one of the best coaches out there. For engaging with the person and encouragement, support and generally just bring amazing psych.
Yes! I was cheering so hard for Dan. Nice work. Those problems definitely look tricky, but good selection of skills, Louie.
The cut midway through the explanation of the first boulder was hilarious
fire ad read too
Theese boulders are not white-belt. :p 2-3 belts up i would say.
Get Louis into a comfy lil twister.
He will no doubt be good using the triangle and d’arce, maybe even the gogoplata.
Looking forward to the next. This series is great!
You monster….😂
maybe you should mention his name and social media in the video description
Another great video. If you get dan back in the gym I'd love to see him try some campusing problems.
the first sponsor was funny as heck dude!
Louis has so much patience
Louis is incredible
Louie is such an amazing coach, really love your videos.
Love the video. It takes courage to climb for the first time, but a world champ can handle it!
That was a really fun video. Curious to know what grade those boulders were.
First black was v4, second black I can’t remember I think v2/3 and the blue was v3/4
Great video. It's always fascinating watching strong non-climbers try climbing. How about other strong professionals, like ballet dancers or circus performers? Imagine how good bricklayers are on pinches! Rowers, just in general!
Many moons ago, one of the top american ladies was a pro ballet dancer...pictures from joshua tree were incredible...
I've taught many a new climber. Two trades stick out... one is kinda obvious - farmers, the other is not so obvious - plumbers. Both seem to have very good hand strength.
Awesome content!
I reckon Dan would get good fast.
Do the Omoplata RNC that Mackenzie Dern did in Legacy FC
Loved this video, can't wait to see Louis try out BJJ!
loved it! ❤❤❤
Louis should be great at triangles and his lapel grips should be locked on
Great Vid. 😁
Louis, have you ever considered doing a collab with Tom Scott? You're both in London so it should be easy.
I thought my dude was gonna smack his chin on that so ill pipe.
Not bad for this big guy!
bjj submission suggestion
gogoplata
Is catalyst climbing going to the flashpoint Swansea boff on the 8th of October?
Really interesting question! I come from a sportive environment and we tried challenges like that a lot. In my experience gymnasts are doing the best (and they probably would be quite athletic). MMA fighters, bodybuilders etc. Do not so good, I think because they are heavier, and the focus lies on spped and power.
In general I also would say climbing is a really good training for atlethic performance (that was the reason why I started), just some things are missing, like explosive movements (specifically with legs) and some forms of coordination (like dancing) or power (like training the chest).
In general it makes me a little bit sad that climbers tend to ignore all other sports not seeing how close they train already compared too a good over all athletic training...
Climbing is too addictive, especially if you live near mountains, makes it hard to do other sports when you wanna climb 4-5 days a week :D I do try and balance out the week spots with my training though.
@@clown5911 every sport is addictive ;)
almost everyone gives in to the fear in the beginning
My first time climbing (many moons ago), I got up to the top of a double overhang (flash). Then the belayer told me to let go. I said "You're ****ing joking!" It took me around 5 minutes to let go. 😂
Omar?? Not with the bobats?
This was a bit like putting Louis up against BJJ blue belt. I think Dan needed to learn some of the basic principles first. But TBF, he did well. I've taught first sessions with beefcakes and they are always surprised that they can't get close to what the scrawny crag rats are doing, but then climbing is at least 75% technique... just like BJJ. Still a fun video though.
WOW, this guy looks very strong. Should I train more strength ??? 😱
.
If you want to be a good climber you should aim to look like Louis, not Dan. Dan does impressively well on low and medium problems due to his upper-body strength, but his grip-strength-to-body-weight ratio simply can't get good enough to climb most of the harder routes (square/cube principle of muscle strength vs. weight).
What grades are they climbing there? I'm sorry I don't know your British colour schemes. ;)
probably around v2-4. The blue one at the end is in the range v3-5 so i guess its a v4 as most people will struggle with the mantle
@@MrNappySlapper Thx mate. I would have guessed similarly but I'd like to know, you know... ;)
Dan would be awesome on offwidths. BJJ athletes have heinous core strength.
Wich Shoes is Louis using?
La sportiva, theory
The low volume ones specifically if you were curious
Those are some evil problems for a complete beginner, lol
Didn't look like he was in the flow of climbing at all on the first problem, maybe would have needed some easy problems first to understand the sport
this guy is climbing harder in his first session than others will their entire lives
🦍🔥🦍
I wanna see louis in an omoplata. face to the ground.
dan is pretty strong, he only needs to work on his footwork
