I love all these videos of boulder setting with Nikken! Incredible setter, great climber, and just a wonderful personality. I seriously can't get enough of that dude!
Dude, the close-ups of the players ultra focused on the bat hang was amazing. I wish my gym had these problems! Another banger mate! Micky owning it was such great energy! 💪
Wow, that was such a nice video, honestly I don't remember last time I was this excited after watching any short format video like that. It has everything you could wish for, of course great climbing is a guarantee on this channel, but the crazy thrilling shots and camera movement, epic slow motion, great choice of music which builds the atmosphere or fits perfectly with the atmosphere of the crew, the build up of the story and emotions and excitment with the perfect fulfilling conclusion - I usually expect great quality on this channel but THAT i was not prepared for. It's a simple story of a boulder, but what a great storybuilding that was, amazing job Eric!
Thank you for such a great comment and insight! Really appreciate that you took your time to write all of this and that you see the details in the video :) psyched!
My god Erik! The way we saw the toehook placements and everyone's faces during those moves! And then the intensity of Micky's final go, all or nothing. Awesome storytelling and camerawork! Oh and the ending was so wholesome, everybody getting so psyched on beautiful brushes. Just perfect
After all the build up, all I can say is, "thank god Micky got to send it too." Loved watching the evolution of setting and sending. Was even holding my breath a few times.
Insanely good vid. I loved the view from above of the guys trying the toe hook, you can see in their expression who is confident with the move and those who less so. Also the subtle small body adjustments made to ensure they dont slip off when getting the first hand up beside the feet. I'm inspired to set a similar move on my wall tonight. Cheers and Merry Christmas to all.
Loved it. Can't decide if my favourite bit is the boys rushing off to test brush, or your comment "ooh, Christmas came early" but the whole thing is huge fun.
It’s reflected in other comments but this was just such a well put together video. The creation and development of an awesome problem, the great vibes when everyone sends…even the excitement over each of you getting the brushes that you wanted was getting me stoked! Some creative camera shots with well chosen music (as always), really appreciating the effort put into this!!
There's a swedish crew climbing here in Xulilla and I was like "yeah, I know you come from Sweden because of that Kome Igen I've heard thousands of times on Erik's and Emil's videos" :)
Have really liked the last few vids with a focus on the setting. Nikken tweaking it to get it to work and achieve what he's looking for. Also the shots looking down of the guys trying to get the toe hook, really cool.
What a sick video! That boulder is amazing, and the fight from the crew to send it was so hype. Fantastic filming, editing, storytelling as always Eric.
Would make the perfect commercial for a shoe brand! Seriously, what an angle Eric. In awe of the ability of climbers and the talent to make a video that is PERFECT of the whole thing!!! Just the right length of attempts and sends and changes, and personalities of crew and then fun ending w/ cool gifts. This video is a gift to us viewers. 💯
one of the sickest problems i've seen in a minute, the music choice made those sequences feel absolutely mega and the cinematography was stunning. damn good job on this vid dude i loved it so much
Absolutely brilliant video. Has everything, superb camera work and editing, tension ,humour and superb atmosphere. Would be great to watch even if I didn't climb. Thanks guys👍
L o v e d that video! Challenging boulder (Nikken: ' I'm blocking shit' ), crazy bat hang move, the finest brushes and a super strong crew that gets everyone psyched👍 Thumbnail is extra 👌
When your palms are sweaty, legs fallen asleep in an awkward position on the chair after 20 min and you are screaming alone in your apartment yelling "Fuck yeah Micky!!That was beautiful!!" - you know you have just been blessed with EKB. Also - how cute are you guys running off to brush..
Great video. I was watching the Russian Cup of Bouldering Finals yesterday - it was few months ago but I'm only now getting round to watching. The only commentary was in Russian so I understood nothing but I was intrigued at how many English words and phrases kept on popping up including the term "meatball" when they were discussing one male climber and I immediately thought of Nikken.
Honestly, as much as I appreciate you guys speaking so much English (being American), I do really love when you guys still speak Swedish, even if you don't subtitle it, because it's just a nice exposure to other languages and whatnot
Great edit Eric, really enjoyed the process of the boulder progressing by Nikken! The fun of the build and everyone becoming psyched about it ánd everyone getting to send it! P.s. Great brushed but no Thor?!
This is such a nice video!!! I love it. Probably one of my favourites on your channel. Super funny too!!! I loved the part of the video where you said "OOH! Christmas came early!" and Mickey was laughing so hard in the background. Made my day!!! 😂 Merry Christmas to you and to the rest of the crew, Eric!🎄
I love all these videos of boulder setting with Nikken! Incredible setter, great climber, and just a wonderful personality. I seriously can't get enough of that dude!
I love how Nikken is both incredibly charismatic and incredibly awkward at the same time
Endearingly dorky
Dorkdearing? Deardorkingly?
Dude, the close-ups of the players ultra focused on the bat hang was amazing.
I wish my gym had these problems!
Another banger mate!
Micky owning it was such great energy! 💪
Micky's try hard face during the bat-hang is priceless. Makes me wish I would try this hard during my climbing session

The Wierzbickis are a detailed people
EKB videos are just on a different level, it's not even like watching a climbing video but a short film, so good
My god Erik! The way we saw the toehook placements and everyone's faces during those moves! And then the intensity of Micky's final go, all or nothing. Awesome storytelling and camerawork! Oh and the ending was so wholesome, everybody getting so psyched on beautiful brushes. Just perfect
Damn, Robin climbs sooo smooth and perfect.😱
That wave at 14:30 got me, so dope.
these vids get me so psyched, i love seeing everyone project a boulder together
Benji is so chill an humble. Hope 2 see him sometime again! Fun Session, i even cheered at some point.
That boulder ended up being so amazing, dare a I say... a banger?!
Loved the camera angle and slow mo showcasing the foot sequence, just beautiful!
Holy shit the camera angels were on point today. Eric levelling up his camera technique
15:30 Micky's face on the toe hook closeups was so funny 😂
After all the build up, all I can say is, "thank god Micky got to send it too." Loved watching the evolution of setting and sending. Was even holding my breath a few times.
The opening image of "head route setter" Nikken made me laugh instantly. Loved the vid, crew.
Never imagined I'd say this sentence, but "Damn, those are some pretty brushes!"
Insanely good vid. I loved the view from above of the guys trying the toe hook, you can see in their expression who is confident with the move and those who less so. Also the subtle small body adjustments made to ensure they dont slip off when getting the first hand up beside the feet. I'm inspired to set a similar move on my wall tonight. Cheers and Merry Christmas to all.
Loved the camera pan at 9:31. I look forward to your releases more than any other YT channel now.
one of your best Eric, fan for many years thank you so much!!
Loved it. Can't decide if my favourite bit is the boys rushing off to test brush, or your comment "ooh, Christmas came early" but the whole thing is huge fun.
Favorite climbing/bouldering video (and soundtrack) so far from any channel I’ve seen. Keep killing it guys
Awesome video. Awesome boulder!! Love seeing Mickeys pure emotion, so fun to take part in. Thanks again!
Ladies and gentlemen... the King of TH-cam: Mr Eric Karlsson...!

Watching this crew climb is always a good time
There's a swedish crew climbing here in Xulilla and I was like "yeah, I know you come from Sweden because of that Kome Igen I've heard thousands of times on Erik's and Emil's videos" :)
Been smiling through the whole video! Really awesome Eric, keep it up!:)
Nikken is an absolute gem, and brilliant setter. I'm a fan
Have really liked the last few vids with a focus on the setting. Nikken tweaking it to get it to work and achieve what he's looking for. Also the shots looking down of the guys trying to get the toe hook, really cool.
the amount of bangers you've been putting out lately is insane
What a sick video! That boulder is amazing, and the fight from the crew to send it was so hype. Fantastic filming, editing, storytelling as always Eric.
This episode was so good, i was begging to see the send the whole video. Great work guys! and amazing problem Nikken
Loving the energy of everyone trying to figure it out. It's such a nice atmosphere. Really great Vid Eric!

That was an AMAZING boulder problem, and such a cool video. Nikken is rad!
quality bloc! Nikken is the future of routesetting
one of the sickest problems i've seen in a minute, the music choice made those sequences feel absolutely mega and the cinematography was stunning. damn good job on this vid dude i loved it so much
Really enjoyed this one Eric. The section where they're all trying to get the bat hang was mega.
This is my favorite video of yours that I have seen so far, such a fun and exciting format. Thanks for the awesome content Eric
I'm not sure names, but I laughed out loud when the guy said " No excuses, If I fall, I am too weak " 🤣🤣 18:47
That feet-first camera angle is 😘 *chef's kiss*.
Also super psyched to see Nikken back and now route setting these days!
Just yesterday I was wishing a new Eric video would be released 😍 best climbing vids out there
those brushes are dope
15:42 these shots are so great :D
These last few videos have been AWESOME and this one was my favorite of all time, thank you man!
That was brilliant. Big smiles
Dang Nikken! This is such a cool block! I'd never be able to climb it, but I'd hang around just to watch people scale it. Nice work!
2:38 is one of the many reasons I love this channel
So good to see all the boys having a blast 👍🏻💪🏻
15:41 Micky summoning his inner handsome squidward
Absolutely brilliant video. Has everything, superb camera work and editing, tension ,humour and superb atmosphere. Would be great to watch even if I didn't climb. Thanks guys👍
Absolutely classic episode!
15:40 dat face of pure concentration xD
Eric! The filming on this was so sick. Yew!
L o v e d that video! Challenging boulder (Nikken: ' I'm blocking shit' ), crazy bat hang move, the finest brushes and a super strong crew that gets everyone psyched👍 Thumbnail is extra 👌
Robin is a beast, he makes it look so easy!
These Nikken setting videos just get better and better!
Yay thank you Eric. I loved this video so much, good vibes in this and everyone crushed. The climb looks like it turned out to be a real banger.
When your palms are sweaty, legs fallen asleep in an awkward position on the chair after 20 min and you are screaming alone in your apartment yelling "Fuck yeah Micky!!That was beautiful!!" - you know you have just been blessed with EKB. Also - how cute are you guys running off to brush..

Those slow motion toe hook shots are simply next level 🤤
One of my favorite bouldering vids on yt :) Super good watch.
Honestly, as much as I appreciate you guys speaking so much English (being American), I do really love when you guys still speak Swedish, even if you don't subtitle it, because it's just a nice exposure to other languages and whatnot
That's such a cool boulder. That face at 15:45 tho 🤣🤣🤣
Damn that was such a nice video.
I really enjoyed the camerawork in this one and of course the great climbing as well!
The guitar music that starts around the 10:00 mark is so cool!
Man, Miky's send made me smile :)
so hyped for Toes send! good shit edit: Micky was also insane !
Love the slowmo footage of the bat hang
Really appreciated to watch. Thanks man u r a legend

Great edit Eric, really enjoyed the process of the boulder progressing by Nikken! The fun of the build and everyone becoming psyched about it ánd everyone getting to send it!
P.s. Great brushed but no Thor?!
Exactly what I needed this morning :)
Hell yeahhh micky!!! that Boulder was sick!
This is such a nice video!!! I love it. Probably one of my favourites on your channel. Super funny too!!! I loved the part of the video where you said "OOH! Christmas came early!" and Mickey was laughing so hard in the background. Made my day!!! 😂 Merry Christmas to you and to the rest of the crew, Eric!🎄
Thanks for such a nice comment Tiffany :) Merry Christmas! :D
20:30 5 guys climbing though... sad Benji. Doesn't matter, one of your best vid's you produced recently, Erik!
Wow, that's sick moves. Very naahce!
Mickey always gets in his own head, then ends up crushing! 😂
That is such a fucking banger!

It's hard not to be jealous of Tao and Mickey's progress!
This video was a like a cold breeze on a sunny fall day. Enjoyable.
Loved the music in this one Eric!
Great camera angle Eric. You can see the fear in Micky's eyes 🤣
The music is popping 👌
Music is popping! That first track was perfect
Genius.

Excited!
