- Soon I'll be going to Flatanger, the cave that hosts a chunk of the world's hardest routes, such as Silence (9c/5.15d) and B.I.G (9c/5.15d). In today's video I train in preparation for a trip to Flatanger using a gigantic playground.
Coordinates to the staircase: 59.293177, 18.056768
Huge thank you to @EricKarlsson for joining me on this session and Cordelia for filming!

I’ve made it to Flatanger already, and believe it or not but this was actually the perfect training for it. I think if I trained to climb this a few times per day for a few weeks it would be great preparation for the climbing here, as it’s around the same length. A lot of the holds are a little bit better on the routes, but you have difficult boulders in between everything, so with good endurance on jugs you can manage to recover for the hard boulders. Keep your eyes peeled for future videos from the gorgeous cave! 👀
If you are going to seriously use this for training could I humbly suggest that you a) don't use the bars at all and b) add some variation on the long drags by moving out to the edges of the staircase and back and diagonally through to provide more consistent finger difficulty while adding some more "awkward" positioning.
Hyped and what climbs are you trying on the trip?
@@tegridyfarms6197 will try and do a route called Odin’s Eye and see how much endurance I can build! Very cool climbing, but I struggle a lot with kneebars and the cave is quite dependent on them, so I’m currently figuring out bathang rests and other tricks to avoid the kneebars 😅
@@EmilAbrahamsson gl, I Look forward to seeing the videos!
I think Adam Ondra (of course, who else!!) has actually DOWNclimbed Odin's Eye. And to make matters worse, I think he git it first try, so it's an O-0. We are not worthy...
looks like the woman at 17:55 has found a different beta
That is not how the route setters intended it.
But did she do a sit start?
I think she did a walk up start
she broke the beta haha
@@hanswoast7 Running start I bet
"Local man takes wrong side of stairs, crushes it"
9c+ /5.16a LMAO I love you
We wait for Stefano to repeat and downgrade it. Until this happens, I guess 9c+ is legit!
Stefano will upgrade it to 6c+
I'd rate it probably O0
@@prgnify safe but but i'd agree
If Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall can use a cellar in Sheffield to train for Century Crack, then using a Swedish kids playground to train for Flatanger seems totally reasonable to me :)
Emil : "my endurance stretches to about five moves and then I’m toast"
Proceeds do a million moves on first try
The people walking ontop must be sooooo confused 😂
Emil missed something, they maybe think... 😅
.
when you actually take "the floor is lava" seriously... this is an absolutely insane achievement lol
If you took it seriously you would actually walk up the stairs.. jk it was insane and a lot of fun to watch! Made me want to look for similar structures in my city.
Imagine just going for a stroll down those stairs but all you can hear is just Emil try hard noises from below your feet
Those noises! Sounded like he was about to explode 😂🎉
I hope the architect of the staircase sees this! He did not know what a Monster he was creating! Mad respect Emil
Or she .....
@shellytraverse good one, but it didn't collapse.
@@shellytraverse lol
@@Djellowman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Structural engineer*
This could make a great series, ‘Climb the stairs with Emil”
For a guy who only does boulders and has no endurance, that was outrageously impressive! For anyone at all, that was outrageously impressive!
I know right! I'm sitting here thinking "so Emil has no endurance! WHAT am I looking at then!?!" Serious achievement, this.
“Mommy, there was a man panting and grunting at the playground today” 😅 but seriously, hella cool and impressive!
Imigine walking down those stairs while emil is climbing underneath you lol.
There was a lady going up in the one the shots while he was under a stair segment
@@deadturret4049 ... and then Emil got extra power to finish it! Haha in 19:35 he said this himself "4th gear".
This is normal in Sweden
8 minutes!!! Don’t think I could even hold your rest pose for 8 minutes. Let alone climb up a flight of stairs. Well done 👏 outstanding as always Emil
So nice to see pros getting humbled. Sometimes, when you guys don't struggle, I think I'll never get better. But videos like this make me root for you and hope for myself.
Did he get humbled though? He basically did it first try lol
@@soccutd77 Yeah xD
That's amazing! The climb was super intense, I loved the lack of music and just listening to your breathing. Incredible video
Heh! Seeing the tram at the beginning of the video reminded me of Wide Boyz' urban crack climbing shenanigans underneath the bridges of Sheffield 😁.
Also this climb, and the quality of the video itself, was majorly impressive.
Congratulations Emil - bloody awesome stuff.
Adam ondra must be soooo angry Silence has been sarpased
I'd love to see Pete Whittaker give this a shot, that man lives for pumpy climbs
Definitely! Even though it wasn't a crack climb, this gave major Wide Boyz vibes.
Pete would get to the top, turn around and go back.
Considering he has the dead hang wr I think he'd do pretty well.
@@TheGumbyGuy 💯. He should definitely give it a go!
Awesome climb and video! I can't believe Cordi filmed the whole thing so smoothly while moving backwards and ducking railings
I just went there today to feel parts of it out.
And it was so fun! So many footjams. ❤
But I cannot express enough how strong Emil is. Doing this whole thing is insanity.
I'll be going back, but I think my longterm goal is to link up until before the really tall part.😅
That feeling of being willing to give everything to continue is what makes athletes so inspiring.
Thanks for the motivation, can’t wait to hit a climb tomorrow.
Since it is a man made structure, all the round "holds" are identical and all the flat "holds" are identical - which probably makes this climb even harder for your grip and CNS, as the exact same muscles work all the time. Where as on a natural rocks, there will be variation, tireing out more different parts of the grip musculature.
Well done, young man. Now you just need to do it a couple of times a day for a couple of weeks 👍👍
You found an easily accessible, sturdy and free training course.
Amazing Emil, you beast! Would love to see you drag Pete out to suffer on this, he'd definitely be game!
Eric nailed it, this is Ninja Warrior training. It's basically the same level of difficulty and excessive campusing!
this is even harder difficulty than Ninja Warrior
@@johnnyd.j.6068 ..no? this is harder on the fingers, harder climbing, but you will not see emil having as good of a time on the many ninja warrior style dynamic moves
Ninja Warrior endurance. Easier moves individually but far more moves in a row
Would love to see Magnus do this too! Amazing Emil! 🖤
We need more Eric on the channel
IMPRESSIVEEEE!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪
Congrats on the world's first 9c+ man! Inspiring for future generations
Now that you've done the straightforward one, there's clearly some "pleasure loop" extensions that could be added at each landing that go off sideways!
Looked like such a fun experience! congrats!
Dude honestly extremely impressive. That looks crazy hard to endure. 👏🏼👏🏼
This is seriously one of the most impressive things I’ve seen dude. The sheer endurance to be able to hang and climb for that long!
Emil, that was awesome #9c+FTW Thanks for the video man, helps a lot!
Those Establishing shots are so beautifully framed!
I think this is a firstie, but anyone mad enough to climb under the local staircase down to a park that for some reason is made into that metal construction instead of just being put down into the ground, deserves a like and a sub. First time I've subscribed to someone for climbing under the public stairs like a Gremlin/Spidermonkey/Goblin...
I mean I've seen you in different vids of yours and Magnus'es but holy crux training like a gobbo like that, very fun.
When I saw the thumbnail I just knew I had to click and damn, you did not disappoint, Emil. Absolutely amazing video! Would love to see more of this!
Fun stuff, with my club we climbed often under bridges and there these beams were the standard. Both easy to hold on to as well as pumping you out quickly, great fun!
This must be one of the most creative climbing videos ever! Good job!
Not going to lie- I teared up when I was watching this. Emil, you are a damn machine bro! Keep it up.
Thank you for inspiring
One specific tip: If you have very flexible hips, then you can do one-leg front lever moves, with the other leg up along your upper body. Doing that increases your reach so much that you can sometimes static roof moves that otherwise have to be dynos. I could do that when I was young and flexible 30-40 years ago, but not any longer. :-(
Havent climbed anything that difficult but I can totally relate to that level of pump. Almost affects your ability to talk and think.... sick challenge Emil
Glad to see more urban climbing on this channel. It's crazy how "climbable" things are, i don't know if is a autistic thing or not, but i always thinking in diferent ways of climb, drop or descent of every constrution that i see.
Man.. so insane! Great + for the creativity aswell. You are a beast.
Hehe, efter det här klippet så kommer färgen på den där trappan att nötas bort av alla som vill testa sina skillz. Bra jobbat! 👌
This is actually very similar to the way we trained around 1979-1987, before we had any indoor gyms in Norway. Buildering was the order of the day!
This was such an impressive climb, insane!! It's been two weeks since the video went online and I actually keep thinking about this one quite a lot. When I'm outside and I see any sort of normal daily structure (like staircases), I always think about how cool it would be to climb that lol and you just went for it and also pushed it to the next level with this one🤯
I loooove this! Being from Denmark we're used to climb on anything, as there's no rocks about.
"I think it’s too dangerous for skateboarding so we should be good" *sees chalk underneath* "fuuuuuuu***k”
What a quest to take on, was amazing to watch how you beat the staircase!
So sick, and how fun to be walking around and eyeing up things like this to potentially try. Get storror on this
Dont think any of them could do it except perhaps Toby. A 7 person relay vs Magnus + Emil fastest wins though my god that would be content
i wonder what the woman on the stairs is thinking at 17:55 lol
I was looking for this comment
She found a different beta
@@klexy4420 nah she found the route setters intended beta cuz they are the ones that built the stairs 😂
@@klexy4420
overhang route: 9c+
underhang route: 1a
I think climbing is realy popular in sweden, so it was just "another crazy climber" for her.
I'm just surprised at how clean and well maintained it is hahaha
First!
SECOND!
223rd
Congrats! 4 the first 9c+!!! And you didn't have to train much! Some people were tryin' years for a 9c.
With your power, you should go directely to 10a!!!
Hade varit fett om du hade en hemsida eller nåt där man kan se alla ställen i Stockholm där du klättrat samt hur svåra de är. Om du läser detta så är du en stor inspiration Emil!
🎉 that was crazy, good to know we all have fourth gear if you just commit to death on the way!
buildering! yes! climb everything, not just rocks, urban landscape is part of our nature!
I wish I could like this more than once! I found myself trying to hit the like button every 2 minutes. Great job! That was a blast to watch!
This is definitely the most immersive climbing video I've experienced.
Wow that was amazing.
I had to subscribe for that immense effort.
Climbers are super human.
Well done bro.
As Storror would say ¡¡the powe of the dragon!!
You’re a beast. That was incredible. I’m puffing for air watching you lol
Casual morning walk,
Emil noises enters the chat...
You have crazy endurance!
You need to get Pete Wittaker and Toby Segar onto this!
I'm watching this while stretching before I climb, and I think I'm getting pumped from watching 😮😅🔥
I recognize that spot!
Dang, amazing job.
Super strong!
5.16c loved it 😂. Man we could hear the pain..
New spot just Discovered !!! Everyone gonna be flying over here to try it
insane climb by emil once again,, can’t wait to see Flatanger 🔥
perfect spot for a @storror collab
This isnt my sweat, its my tears
Also I liked that they say nothing when the girl passed above
Alain Robert does it finger in the noz !
You have a heart of a lion! You inspire me man.
Emil, you're a beast. You got this my bro.
"So my endurance stretches to about five moves and then I'm toasted." - proceeds to do 200 moves in a row first try. You're a beast.
Way to go, dude totally stoked for you!!!
i had to mute the video in between because i was worried my neighbours gonna think i watch porn on loudspeaker with all that moaning... xD
lol I thought the same thing when I was in the bathroom and my wife walked into the room hahaha
Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses the underside of a local staircase to train.
-Mom, can we go to bouldering?
-We have bouldering at home
Bouldering at home:
Great! Nice video! If I may! The voice is unnatural because of the noise suppression or the wind noise stopping stuff! A little wind is not so bad compared to those high frequency wobble. But: Man, You are getting stronger! Colab with Magnus in flatanger or with Adam, I would like to see if I would have a wish!!
First ever 9c+ hahaha
color match is lit
There's a bolted cave in Nevada with completely horizontal routes about 250 ft long if you want endurance. You won't find it listed online or in a guidebook but it's there and awesome.
Now I want other pros to try this route and confirm the grading :D Imagine pro athletes traveling there to climb stairs :D
I absolutely love challenges like those * - * And If I find them myself in the free wild I'm always trying do do them... Its like it's taking aot in the urban wild aspect of parkour
Wow! Sjukt imponerande 👏👏👏
You totally need to get an outdoor buildering party by your apartment! Invite a bunch of climbers from a local gym to try it out!
Such a great vid!🔥
the best floor is lava I've ever seen
I like how an outdoor staircase becomes the ultimate climbing challenge.
Cracked. Great effort Emil!
2:48 hey hey hey wooo sit start only!
Where in Stockholm is this? I would like to try this, it looks fun
Same
I think everyone is asking themselves that
(59.2929384, 18.0568939)
Good luck fellow warrior. May the odds be in your favour.
@@EmilAbrahamsson Tack så hemskt mycket
@@limeongd comment back on this comment if you ever try it
climbign
mooom the strange guy is climbing the stairs again
Get Emil in the cellar 🙌
I think there should be an inofficial competions amongst architects, which goal it is to attract the most climbers within it´s lifetime of a structure
