Watching this video again 4 years later. Still love it. Would love to see a setting video with jake and Nikken, seeing as they’ve both come so far in their setting
This was REALLY well done Eric! I like how you let setter talk w/out interruption and let us in on thought process. I hoped we see him climb it, but we even got to see several try it. Nice problem and nice film of it all. Thanks!
Jake seems super cool :) He echoes all the same thoughts I have whenever I set, just kind of go with what feels right, I'll admit they don't all end up as slick as this route though!
When Tom was climbing I was talking to my computer. "Come on1!!! come on man you can do it! yes!! let's go!" T__T I think I might have a problem. Hahha! Loved this concept btw, getting to see someone build a route and then climbing it.
I know many gyms tend to have soft grade on boulders, however this particular one I think it's a bit harsh to put it at V6. V7 or even V8 sounds more appropriate to me.
Sad I missed you, Eric, and crew at the Arch, I was introducing someone to climbing on Saturday (they loved it). Otherwise I'd have been there Sunday. Hope climbing at the Arch was fun!
I don't know what you want to hear, but yeah, swedish ones are kind of 2 numbers higher than for example what we have in Poland. There is interesting video on Magnus Midtbø channel when Adam Pustelnik, polish routesetter set 6B problem and norwegian national team boulderers couldn't handle it.
As a fellow channel trying to make climbing videos (much inspired by yours!!) I have to say I've noticed the intros and name animations you've added!!! They're awesome! What program are you using to put these together? :)
Javier Goldstein They mention that the one guy who did cut loose is just insanely strong and actually made it more difficult on himself. So it is possible, but the goal should be for the easiest route to be the intended, which it is.
Hi piotr, You can always find the songs in the discription of the video :) Here is the info about the song: www.epidemicsound.com/ You X You - Henrik Olsson
What a cunty question, what would be your preferred response from him? If he says to keep his hair out of his face you'll come back with something snarky, should he say "To look cool for youtubes and all the hunnies?" who gives a fuck, you're the nerd for looking that far into it (Or you just have a mad crush on the guy and you're having a subconscious war with yourself..? hahahaha.)
@@TRBNTR98 No "breakdowns" here (logical fallacies make you look pitiful) I call people out on their bullshit - even you say you "think" it was a joke. Seeing as he didn't make it obvious I decided to say something (and what do you know, he didn't try and prove me wrong.)
"If you have v3 all the way and only one hard move on the end it is stupid" "I set like this because it looks cool" "if you use left hand for righthand-handhold you are going to be uncomfortable " Because of setters like this one In a few years climbing indoors will have so little to do with climbing outside that many will have to go to moonboards and stuff in order to do actual climbing that can be used as training for outside.
To be fair, at least the first sentiment has some validity. Sustained climbing is present both indoors and outdoors and is much more fun than one move wonders.
Exactly, I don't see the point in getting hung up about such issues since even with the best setters in the world you're still not going to become as good training indoors for outdoor boulder problems, as you are by climbing outdoors loads. However, I doubt the moonboard is necessarily that useful a tool for outdoor climbing climbing since it seems to mostly be big throws between good holds cutting loose fairly frequently, while outdoors is more often tensiony moves between bad crimps or slopers where you're often punished for cutting feet.
Okay, I'm going to be that guy. I hate the trend to use volumes extensively lately. Those are way harder to maintain and keep friction on them, they mostly only rely on body tension and compression, so it limits the variety in climbing, and they increase the injury risk when falling greatly, especially when they are bigger.

12:03 that's exactly my style :D
"You call them boxes in Sweden?"
"Yeah"
"... Volumes."
;D
hehe ;D
When two of your favorite climbing channels collide 🎆❤
:)
that's why it's called "masterpiece" :)

Yeah jake is a boss :D
love the arch channel and bouldering bobat. Glad to see this collab with the arch!
*climber makes a move*
everything: "NICE!"
Idk why I’m watching these I saw one on my recommended so I figure why not watch and now they pop up everywhere
When Tom was climbing I was talking to my computer. "Come on1!!! come on man you can do it! yes!! let's go!" T__T I think I might have a problem. Hahha! Loved this concept btw, getting to see someone build a route and then climbing it.
Haha! Cheers dude! I really wanted to send it! Maybe we'll come back and do a video on it with the crew. :)
Wow! Awesome video, awesome problem! Bring on the next video!!!
I'm going to refer people to this video every time I see one of these jug-ladder V6's on other channels...
I know many gyms tend to have soft grade on boulders, however this particular one I think it's a bit harsh to put it at V6. V7 or even V8 sounds more appropriate to me.
@@heyyo6633 well he said it's in the hardest grade bracket they have
11:18 Eric's long lost brother????
Its me! Haha, we do look a little similar...
oh hai Eric
That problem looks super cool! I wish I could try it.
Sad I missed you, Eric, and crew at the Arch, I was introducing someone to climbing on Saturday (they loved it). Otherwise I'd have been there Sunday. Hope climbing at the Arch was fun!
yeah bummer we didnt got a chance to say hi this time. Hopefully we will be in London more times :))
That was the sickest send since nikken’s outdoor bouldee
:D
Hi Eric, come over to Bristol, we've got some really cool stuff over here! Well worth a visit!
Will look into it :D
Awesome video and as usual Fredrik is just insanely strong.
Thanks man :D
you guys should come to chimera in tonbridge wells and do some filming!!!! Lot's of people would get involved there i'm sure :)
he kinda reminds me of Johnny Depp
gotta love jake.
Fun video, Fredrik is so strong.
yeah kid always suprise me
“Or is it just kind of... BABABABA
"I dont want people to be able to cut feet"
dude cuts feet 4 times on the first send
I really wish I could try this problem.
At the end Fredrik cut loose at almost every move :D
Yotornadoyo got first! :D Adam Swagged it away ;D
Eric Karlsson Bouldering - Haha! Can’t wait to see the rest of the series!
Yall are way too strong lol
i always want magnus,to climb these things
V6-V8?? No way, either the English grades are super stiff, or the Swedish ones very, very soft.
I don't know what you want to hear, but yeah, swedish ones are kind of 2 numbers higher than for example what we have in Poland. There is interesting video on Magnus Midtbø channel when Adam Pustelnik, polish routesetter set 6B problem and norwegian national team boulderers couldn't handle it.
Older gyms tend to grade closer to the original difficulties, closer to Fontainebleau
Swedish is slightly different , our v0 is 5+ and yours is 6a + 😊
6a+ is V3 in the UK
@@Blizzier666 Magnus Midtbo can handle anything
That girl was just staring into my soul 1:42
This video is awesome
As a fellow channel trying to make climbing videos (much inspired by yours!!) I have to say I've noticed the intros and name animations you've added!!! They're awesome! What program are you using to put these together? :)
awesome problem and i liked the length of this video :)
Really relaxing video :) Are you guys hanging out anywhere else in England?
so cool. this must be so much fun :)
if i have one wish free for 2020, do another video with jake.
Love this kind of video Eric! Keep it up!! Also do you think you’d come back to the states if you had the chance?
Thanks man :D Yeah maybe next year, unsure what month thought :)
Sweet man thats awesome!! Also what are your thoughts on a 50 minute episode for when you get to 50k subscribers??
Itd be so cool to visit this gym
yeah Arch North is really cool
what drill is he using, that looks beautiful mine is too chunky to carry on me all the time and i need a tool belt
Not 100% but looks like a Makita Impact driver
I think it might have become a bit easier then intended
Love your channel it has inspired me to start my own any tips?
Come to the depot in Manchester please :)
yeah that gym looks sick too :D
really cool problem!
Ace.
I love both channels 😍
Can someone explain what an arete is I just saw the word for the first time the other day at my gym but idk what it means
it's the corner of the wall or side of a boulder
skltr21 is it legal to use the arete whenever...given that it's there?
Unless it's stated otherwise it generally is, or so it is at the gym I climb at.
Arête, origin: French. At my gym, if the angle is acute (
A gym I visit denotes it as in if there is a hold on it, but I think the general consensus is it's always in unless stated otherwise.
What was the final approximate grade or the problem? Looks pretty hard
I would guess low V8. I only tried it about 3 times though, so could be V7 with a bit more beta.
Tom
V7-8
when i watch your videos my feet sweat
Are the grades different? This doesn’t look like a v6-v7 looks harder.
congrats to football-sweden
hehe ;D
Where?
What was it rated!
So fucking cool!!
what happened to no cutting loose lol
Javier Goldstein They mention that the one guy who did cut loose is just insanely strong and actually made it more difficult on himself. So it is possible, but the goal should be for the easiest route to be the intended, which it is.
I like the new profile pic
thanks man :D
What’s the song from the intro called?

Eric Karlsson Bouldering oh I totally missed that. Thanks for the reply!
Plz upload more!! I love the content
will do ;D
Volumes
ז. 1
I hate problems with unsafe dynamic moves @ the top.
But it's also a good check if you climbed the rest well.
Stiffest guy I've ever seen in the background at 3:30
No that guy looks like he was born to climb
Leon Schiedermair sounds like something someone stiff would say
ok mate, but why you're wearing a winter hat in a summer and inside a building ??
What a cunty question, what would be your preferred response from him? If he says to keep his hair out of his face you'll come back with something snarky, should he say "To look cool for youtubes and all the hunnies?" who gives a fuck, you're the nerd for looking that far into it (Or you just have a mad crush on the guy and you're having a subconscious war with yourself..? hahahaha.)
@@shiftnative I think it was a joke mate, no need to have a breakdown over it.

your "arguments" don't make any sense
To be fair, at least the first sentiment has some validity. Sustained climbing is present both indoors and outdoors and is much more fun than one move wonders.
How often does one go outdoors and think "Wow, that looks cool. I wanna climb that." I certainly have had that. So why not do that indoors?
Share the sentiment, however, the only training to climb outdoors is to climb outdoors, IMO.
Exactly, I don't see the point in getting hung up about such issues since even with the best setters in the world you're still not going to become as good training indoors for outdoor boulder problems, as you are by climbing outdoors loads.

Have these guys ever climbed real mountains
thats the dumbest question ever wtf
I was first
First?
Watching that skinny dude showing off for the chick was a bit cringy but great vid
which dude? they're all skinny
first
The music is unbearable -.-
A "masterpiece"? There is absolutely no indoor masterpieces. That's so ridiculous.
