The true skill ceiling of climbing may never be unlocked. Watching some of the best in the world get sat by a hard route is a good reminder of the potential that is still out there! Love it Toby!
Toby this is so good, such a privilege to peek behind the scenes of a training session with this crew! Would have loved to hear some of the original audio as well to hear more of the vibes and banter, but this is ace as it is!
I would guess that's coming in the part 2. Hopefully anyway. I loved the energy in this, got me really excited for my session tomorrow, but I would also love to see/hear the interactions
I was here on this day.. imagine the bewilderment you might feel walking into one of your local gym's and as you put your bags down, you look around and see some of the worlds top pro's sessioning boulders and bloc's... 🤯🤯 Epic Great vid Toby! Really enjoyed this one, some reallly nice climbing on display there & that gold moment.... 😮🔥🤘🏼😁
Fantastic editing. Katsu is a legend. A few years back watching him testing the setting at Ogikubo was mind-blowing. His knowledge of movement possibilities is second to none.
action-packed! thanks toby for sharing this all-stars mini-event. btw, the back-to-back shots of the same moves were superbly edited. as mentioned by others, in general awesome editing throughout.
This video was sick. All your videos on this channel have been amazing. The edit but also the commentary and your insight into everything! I just love your enthusiasm and transparency. Please please, never change.
This video was absolutely incredible, thank you so much for uploading this, it's an absolute delight to watch some of our favorite climbers have an amazing time together while also crushing hard boulder problems! Keep it up, Toby!
Incredible to see all those climbers together like that. Pretty interesting format, but it worked well! Thank you for this! And Max did incredible progress over the winter.
cant wait for the day 2 video! hope youve been having as much fun making these as ive had watching them, being injured right now your videos have been a massive help getting through it!
Soooo psyched to see another great video come out! The comp format really kept me on edge and the cinematography and editing wow.. Love seeing the intricacies of comp climbing and thank you for showcasing how incredibly hard it is not just to train to be strong physically but also to bring out the best of your training to perform in a comp in front of soo many people (world class climbers at that lol)!!
This video was over far too quickly. Very interesting format, edit and commentary captivating. Great and for sure motivating training crew. Looking forward to part two.
What an epic video. I’ve watched hundreds of climbing videos on YT and this has to be the best ever. Amazing selection of climbers, excellent editing, amazing routes, excellent vibe, great music editing, interesting holds….
Incredible format for a friendly comp/simulation during a training camp. And the boulders to go with it too ! Cheers to Katsu. Would love to see this kind of format for an informal comp with livestream and official commentary, it seems super hype ! Great video as well, editing and commentary are super clean! Do you have footage of you working afterwards on the boulders you didn't top during the comp/sim ? Would be a great addition (and to see the level 5 balance topped :) )
The way Max finds his way up slabs is a thing of beauty. Incredible balance and micro adjustments! This whole video was top notch content. Thanks for sharing.
Such a cool video! I love watching these of course but I also find that there's lots to learn from how you (and other pro climbers) train that I can use in my own training. Love the idea of the 'one-minute comp'. Will see how I can use that too. Keep making these videos. They're amazing! Looking forward to seeing you in the Olympics.🥇
Awesome video as always! That looks like a super fun training session and nice to see the women and men doing the same boulders. Congrats on lead gold the other day too. Can't wait to see the video for that!
This is an amazing style of training (competing, even). I like the different boulder styles grouped together and one after the other. AWESOME episode!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Subtle sidenote here: I love how all athletes trained - and competed - together. It wasn't split between men and women (although there were more men tbh). I strongly belief that some of the performance gap between men and women in many sports originates from women not training enough with the strongest men or not expecting to perform at a similar level in the first place. Climbing is such a complex sport beyond just raw power, so the often assumed difference might not exist on many boulders anyways. This is what I love about climbing: it has room for different strengths to show and it is a very inclusive community. In my view, especially the chess elite could learn a lot from this...
"I strongly belief that some of the performance gap between men and women in many sports originates from women not training enough with the strongest men or not expecting to perform at a similar level in the first place." I don't think so, in most of the sports, there is a difference, big enough, between men and women, that let them make two seperate competitions, in order to give women a chance to win something. if you think they just need to train with stronger men in order to become stronger or as strong as men, you're delusional, you think that all olympics athletes didn't think about that ? didn't try that ?
Really cool video. What a treat to see these training sessions. I just hoped to see one full send of each boulder to see how its done (if any one was able to send it of course). Some had it, some didn't. Keep on going, this channel is great ^^
Another great video Toby! Love the style and format of these, super different and interesting a bit more vlog like than a lot of the other climbing stuff on youtube. Love it!
love watching you climb, from the first time I've seen you when you first qualified for finals I could tell you were gonna be an awesome climber. Keep doing amazing things!
Good video, cool to see a big group of equally high level climbers give it their best. Some feedback I have would be: - balance your voice audio and the music a bit better (voice too quiet and music too loud) - use music less and maybe mix it up a bit - less montage style compilations of different climbers trying the same part. I’d like to see some more longer clips of the entire boulder
Wow, such an amazing video. Amazing crew aswell. Thank you for sharing this experience. It was probably the best climbing vid ive seen all year. Upcoming Olympics are going to be epic!!
Super nice to see men and women on the same boulders for once, great climbing from everybody involved
Exactly what I thought too. Great video.
I'm curious to know how Janja would have performed in this training comp !
Couldnt agree more!
It was a great session 🤩
me too, but it's a pity they only had 2 women with 10 men...
The true skill ceiling of climbing may never be unlocked. Watching some of the best in the world get sat by a hard route is a good reminder of the potential that is still out there! Love it Toby!
Climbing can be very humbling 🤣 thank you!
cringe. These kids will be trash in 20 years (in comparison to the best climbers at their same age).
This has got to be the best climbing channel right now. Hard climbing, dry commentary, no bullshit, love it
if you like to watch indoor training i guess🤣
@@rdtarcade7644 true, for outdoor there's mellow
Thank you so much, glad you’re enjoying!
What a selection of climbers... In hull!
Crazy!
Dam, who's editing this video, its amazing... Great commentary too!
Yeah except the sound guy :/ It's clipping like crazy (!)
@@precursor4263whats that?
I thought his dad edited the vids
Came here to say the same
Thank you 😆
Toby this is so good, such a privilege to peek behind the scenes of a training session with this crew! Would have loved to hear some of the original audio as well to hear more of the vibes and banter, but this is ace as it is!
I would watch a 4 hour video of the whole session no problem.
I would guess that's coming in the part 2. Hopefully anyway. I loved the energy in this, got me really excited for my session tomorrow, but I would also love to see/hear the interactions
Thanks a lot 🙏🏼🔥
Sorato is such a joy to watch climb!
100%. his style is second to none
🔥🔥
I was here on this day.. imagine the bewilderment you might feel walking into one of your local gym's and as you put your bags down, you look around and see some of the worlds top pro's sessioning boulders and bloc's... 🤯🤯 Epic
Great vid Toby! Really enjoyed this one, some reallly nice climbing on display there & that gold moment.... 😮🔥🤘🏼😁
The average gym grade definitely bumped up that day 🤣 thank you for watching!!
Definitely some hard climbing in there... makes sense, I did get at least four of them sent 😂
And definitely a pleasure seeing such a session go down!
So impressed by Max M and Erin, damn
Yes very impressive 🤩
Fantastic editing. Katsu is a legend. A few years back watching him testing the setting at Ogikubo was mind-blowing. His knowledge of movement possibilities is second to none.
For sure, the guy is a legend 🤣
I love this format! Really cool to see a room full of such different climbers in this way
Yes! It’s so good to train with a lot of different people. Everyone excels at different aspects and it’s great to learn from each other
toby's commentary makes these feel like video diaries. a nice change of pace compared to the typical vlogging style and super charming
Wow, seeing your Brixen top again. What a legendary moment that was. Truly inspiring!
Thank you, my heart is still racing!!
Maybe my favourite IFSC moment ever
One of my favorite boulder-comp moments. I think the #1 will forever be Mia Krampl Munich 2019 though.
Best climbing video on YT rn
Wow thank youu :D
without question. super high quality on content and presentation.
action-packed! thanks toby for sharing this all-stars mini-event.
btw, the back-to-back shots of the same moves were superbly edited. as mentioned by others, in general awesome editing throughout.

Thank you so much :D
Toby I hope you understand just how amazing this channel is for watching high level climbing
Thank you so much:)
This must be one of the best climbing videos on TH-cam, keep up the great work Toby!
Thank you!!
The quality of this video is so satisfyingly good! Impressive filming, and wow the editing, and great commentary. So enjoyable to watch!
Thank you :D
Probably the best indoor bouldering video I've seen!
Thanks a lot, and thanks for watching!
This video was absolutely incredible, thank you so much for uploading this, it's an absolute delight to watch some of our favorite climbers have an amazing time together while also crushing hard boulder problems! Keep it up, Toby!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it:)
Dude, you are the goat of comp climbing content on TH-cam. Yet another banging video. Thank you so much for the insights. Big love :)
Thank you so much :)
this should be a TV show. Such a great spectator format -
👀👀
Incredible to see all those climbers together like that. Pretty interesting format, but it worked well! Thank you for this! And Max did incredible progress over the winter.
Thanks for watching 👀
Stacked crew. Good vibes. Great editing and commentary as always, it seems you've found the sweet spot between professional and casual.
Thank you!
What a great video. This comp was insane. And you got to see your favourite female and male climbers in one. Amazing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bro what an absolute banger of an editing job, idk who the legend is, but damn. I wish more people would put this much love in editing.
I don't feel like I've seen much of Max before, but he seems to be on fire lately🔥🔥
He’s a legend 👀🔥
Great video, really fun and exciting editing.
Thanks so much!
WHO IS HERE AFTER THE GOLD?!!!
And Sorato getting silver. Erin also did pretty well.
Hey man, love your videos. Good luck for the Olympics
Thank you:)
Content is absolute gold, can't wait for part 2!
👀🔥
This is the most glorious climbing video I have seen in a while.
Thank you!
cant wait for the day 2 video! hope youve been having as much fun making these as ive had watching them, being injured right now your videos have been a massive help getting through it!
Watching this before a boulder session with friends gets me incredibly pumped! Also makes my hands sweaty, so I need to bring extra chalk...
Nice to hear 😎💪🏼
The edit of this video was awesome! As was the commentary. Thanks for the amazing content 🙏🏻
Thanks a lot!

Yes a full scale comp like this would be great!
Stay tuned 👀

Thanks for watching and I’m glad they are useful to you! More content to come 😆
Such a cool format, really unique thanks for sharing! great video edit too, put together amazingly well to include all the climbers and problems
Thanks for watching:)
How amazing is climbing that the world’s best can come together and chill, compete and just have a sick time. Struggling to think of another example.
I think you're implementing a pretty unique and high-value format on youtube. really great job!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Awesome video as always! That looks like a super fun training session and nice to see the women and men doing the same boulders. Congrats on lead gold the other day too. Can't wait to see the video for that!
Thank you! For sure it was an awesome training 🤩
What a legend, those climbs look so fun
Yes they were awesome 😆
Great to see Erin and Miho in this format, too
Great video! Rock City was my local wall 2008/9 - looks very different now!!
It's great to see so many talented climbers competing in a friendly atmosphere and having fun! Great video
Yes, it’s great to train with such strong people 💪🏼
This might be one of the best climbing videos I have ever seen! So good
Thank you!!
What is this insane content you're sporting right now? Sickkkk stuff, keep the great videos coming!

looking forward to seeing you on the circuit this year. it was so fun to watch your progression last season!
Thank you!!
Incredible video! You're simply not missing with these recent vids, great work Toby! Such an incredibly interesting event to get an insight into!
Thank you, I’m happy you’re enjoying :)
Awesome video! Loved the way it switched between the different climbers on the same moves!
Thank you :)
Another great video Toby! Love the style and format of these, super different and interesting a bit more vlog like than a lot of the other climbing stuff on youtube. Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. What a crew. This is so cool to watch. Amazing video.
Thank you!
Amazing to see all these athletes training together, what a great spirit you guys have!
Awesome video! Watched it once, and will watch it again later!
Haha thank you :D
One of the most inspiring climbing vids i've seen! I really felt the energy of the room through the vid, very well done!
Thank youuu
Great video, great personnel and some fine editing dear boy 😊
Thank you so much 😁
awesome and entertaining video! Must have been very hard doing the full montage, with so many different videos and angles! Great job!
Thanks for watching!
love watching you climb, from the first time I've seen you when you first qualified for finals I could tell you were gonna be an awesome climber. Keep doing amazing things!
Thank you so much!!
Awesome videos bro - watched the Japan and gold medal one. Keep it up!
Thank you :D
Good video, cool to see a big group of equally high level climbers give it their best.

- use music less and maybe mix it up a bit

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Really appreciated 👌🏼
Best climbing channel out there, thank you Toby. What were the results of the comp?
Sorato won power round, max won the slab round and jack won the coordination!
Fantastic vid again. Awesome comp format never seen that before!
Thank you :)
Great stuff Toby! Looks like y’all are having fun and climbing hard!
Thank you!
Wow, such an amazing video. Amazing crew aswell. Thank you for sharing this experience. It was probably the best climbing vid ive seen all year. Upcoming Olympics are going to be epic!!
Thank you for watching. Yess so excited 🤩
What a great video! The fact that you are a world class climber near my age gives me so much motivation to train.
Keep going 😎💪🏼
The editing in this video is superb, the climbing is also nice :)
Glad you liked it!
Great video. And a very insightful voice over.
Nice one Toby!
Thanks 😆
Very good editing :) and amazing traning format.
Thank you!
this is such a cool format, would love to see more of it.
Yes it was so fun to climb in this way as well
Maybe in the future 👀
amazing insights from your commentary Toby!
Thank you!
Such a cool session thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Wow! What a blast, loved the energy of this video.
