In February 2019, Giuliano made the first ascent of two of the hardest boulders in Ticino, CH: Poison The Well in Brione and REM in Cresciano. VIDEO//EDIT by Sean Morgan
Dude... the second ascent reminds me of a sports psychology lesson I had,..: The "Flow" is a state that an athlete reaches when the difficulty of the task and the athlete's level are extremely high and somehow equivalent... he must also be in a very favourable mental state, and so on.. At that moment, flow occurs and he kinda switches to beast mode : all movements seem very easy, as if it were on autopilot. small errors are corrected extremely quickly, the focus is 200% and the athlete feels a deep sense of well-being. Strangely enough, he also feels a time distortion effect (some tennis players, runners had the impression that a 4-hour effort is spent as 20 minutes or stuff like that)... In short, it is the ultimate state sought by all very high level athletes, and I have the impression that you were clearly in the flow on this ascent...which explains the "like in a dream" sensation haha. That was truly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing, made my day bro.
I've only achieved that state once in my life. It was during a big mountain freeski comp. It felt like my brain switched off and it almost an out of body experience. I almost collapsed at the finish line when I snapped back to reality. Crazy shit!
For sure this is one of the real goals of this "sport". I climbed few years ago, here in Slovakia nice crimpy boulder in this state of mind and named it "Flow" without knowing that somebody could also feel it this way.
Many times in my life I experienced this "flow state" when playing hockey, and I would lose all auditory sensory. It was quite an experience to be so in the moment and so intesely focused that you lose your sense of hearing.
What a sick send. God damn, I am so relieved to see videos like this. Climbing has gotten so polished, sanitized, color-coordinated, and accessorized over the years. Yeah it can be grand and beautiful but it can also be grotesque and offensive and I love it. Bunch of bros stewing in dirt and filth for days, scraping and crawling around in dark, wet, and slimy holes screaming out anger and obscenities at failure and physical pain. All for fleeting moments of something so indescribable that it makes it all worth while and motivates going right back to do it all over again. Again and again and again. Mellow is a much needed reprieve. Thank you so much for making these vids guys, they are so much more real and feel so much more true to the community as I have always known it to be at heart. Keep it up!
Some thoughts on Robinson's downgrade of REM to V14 and his comments on Giuliano's inflating grades? Seems weird to think it being done on purpose since Poison the well is a confirmed V16 (plus the incredibly hard repeats Giuliano has achieved)
I noticed the first problem had moss all around it, did you guys clear moss for the problem? How do you go about clearing moss the best / most conservative wast?
Was that a flash on REM? They said "first try" in the video after he sent it. Wouldn't that mean this is a V16 flash, also the hardest flash ever done? I feel like I'm missing something because that's insane lol
If you saw this guy at the pool without a shirt on you would never think that he's actually a world class athlete... I mean come on - the dude isn't shredded or ripped. Looks totally normal and skinny. I wonder what makes him so good? Phenomenal finger strength, surely. But I've seen footwork and body tension from Giul that I haven't seen on any other climber besides Ondra. That's why he's so good, IMO.
'Dude sick'
'Sickkk duuude'
'Duuuuude'
'yeahhh sick duuude'

Brilliant insight.
Like Michael Jordan said, when he is in the zone, the basketball hoop seems three times bigger than normal!

I don’t think I’ve ever felt this feeling from watching a climbing video.
Dude - Fucking perfect dude!! Congrats Giuliano on perhaps the best week any boulderer has ever had!
The music cutting during the crux was amazing. Mellow you’re killing it
perfection doesn't exi....

*Starts bringing a portable fan on a stick to the crag cos Giuliano did it*
All the beautiful aspects of bouldering summed up on one video.
Duuude V2 Duude 😂
“Dude”
I mean... Mellow... What else? Thanks for the work! I already climb today but now I want to go back at it haha You got me so sicked everytime!
Genius, this channel is turning into something else
2nd one looked really effortless, awesome!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I’m so psyched right now ;)
the slow pan on the send of Poison the Well was top notch
Not just beautiful climbing...the second ascent is truly something magical. That is a flow state being achieved, dreamlike.
Phenomenal send , and a great edit too !!
"Giul! Come back!" As if talking to an excited and escaped dog. Funny as fuck
REM ascent: That's what we call flow. Crazy ascent, Giuliano!
Love this lil film
“I hit this... and I was like... woah dude” 😂😂😂
sooo crazy! great job!
"It looked v2 dude".
Dude my hands are sweating justing by looking at this from my couch
I’m a big fan of how you cooled that hold
Great video and great climber !
"Deud."
"DEUD!"
That was perfect deud."
The fan tech... Thats why i dont send v16. Awesome video!
insane!!!! Grande Giuli
I met Jimmy in Trader Joes once. He was very nice and super mellow.
Sick channel, brah
Brilliant climber. Love his positive personality
looks pretty chill
BEST emotion... HA!!! Love that kid.
Drink for every time they say "dude"! But really amazing lines and amazing climbing!
OKRA in the background😍🙌
Mitici!!!
never knew jimmy webb drinking wine was something i needed
IDOLO
That psych is contagious!
B E A U T I F U L ! ! ! what a vid.. amazing bouldering! Fuck, i‘m psyched!
Giuliano seems like the coolest kinda dude. I just want to hang out with him
Jimmy Webb is an international treasure
Mellow give us the fan beta where is the home depot link to buy?
i love that he's brushing the holds at the end for... nobody
It's actually nice bouldering etiquette...remove tickmarks, leave the spot with as little traces as possible
10:10 Yes! Dude! Woah! To the beat.
Any takers for repeating Nalle's burden of dreams?
🔥
almost forgot to watch this today
insane
10:10 "YES!"
Dude!
How long has Jimmy been with Tenaya?
Paul preferes V16 n V14
Some thoughts on Robinson's downgrade of REM to V14 and his comments on Giuliano's inflating grades? Seems weird to think it being done on purpose since Poison the well is a confirmed V16 (plus the incredibly hard repeats Giuliano has achieved)
Paul is a little different size and milked a foothold that didn't suit GC from what I recall. Morphology be like that.
@@poorboychevelle even with a big beta-break morphology due, a 2 grade difference seems a bit ludicrous
tbf zander waller who recently did sleepwalker downgraded it to 15, and called it an easy/low-end 15 at that @@Rafa-uj2oi
I noticed the first problem had moss all around it, did you guys clear moss for the problem? How do you go about clearing moss the best / most conservative wast?
lol
Looks like the secret to V16 crimping is the field goal tick.
Giuliano's forearms are freakishly long haha!
Yeah, he seems to have perfect body proportions for bouldering. Something I can't put my finger on... maybe the forearms :D
monstros.
Thug running in the background i love it
“I hit this and I was like, whoa” 😂
What the fuck, that is incredible!! He is so sick!!
1:26 watching this move gave me an A3 pulley injury
What was that thingy they held on the wall at 2:40?
a fan on a stick
DUDE!
do i hear Suicideboys in the background... I approve 10:02 Looked flawless
Paris
That scream at 3:55
Effortless full gas. Speachless

lol don't even bother with washing your hands and all the chalk off when you get back to the house. just dive right in lol
Rip my ears
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

I'm assuming its a session flash. I think the hardest flash at the moment is Ondra on Jade.
@@tyroneslothrop8067 I've seen that video. Ondra is a beast!
So funny that Daniel Woods said that Guiliano Cameroni isn't strong
Where's your car dude?
It's honestly just a matter of time until giuliano finds a V17 project, dude is on a rampage
fucking perfect dood!
Dewd
v2 is absurd
- "Dude"
- "DUUUUUUDE"
- "ya dude"
- "woah dude"
- "dude"
No truer words have been spoken before, or since, these are the words of the lord, amen
Song at 9:58?
$uicideBoy$ - Paris
Dude.
dude counter - 1000
loving the suicide boys right when he sends the second one
DUDE
Dude!....Dude. Fuck dude, like dude.

Sublime technique in regard to body positioning and micro-positioning.
8C+ first try? you strong dude
That's rad scarf
Dude
While listening to gucci mane and he says it was a dream lol
Dude lost his mind. Just brushing the holds for no one at the end there... Lol.
John Soukup LOL I thought the same thing!
@@Spida7 Cleaning holds after climbing, as it should be, I would say...
He was cleaning off his tick marks
it's called cleaning
He's just had one of the best moments of his life with that rock, so why leave chalk smeared all over her.
Dude.... 😂
2:31 wtf
can't go full send with bad condi's bro. gotta rig up the ol porta fan to get next level gnar.
yo WTF
Jimmy weeb
Can someone have a "dude" counter
44
Did this guy just flash a fucking v16?
Yeah boi
