about 2 months ago i was able to complete my first v10 boulder after being stuck on v6-7 for nearly a year now. It was always my dream to climb double digit and after only a few months of hard training I managed to tick of v8, v9 and finally v10. After a really dumb ego-driven session at the end of july i suffered from a hefty finger injury and in general my left shoulder hurts a lot due to way too hard training. The hardest boulder i completed this month was a v4 and due to this drastic decrease in skill, strength and psyche i even contemplated to quit climbing completely. I just got back home from a really bad session at the gym and watched this video. Now i feel like my psyche and overall motivation returned back to a 100%. Thank you very much for motivating thousands of climbers around the world to keep on going no matter what!
I actually came from ultra to climbing. Had to undergo hipsurgery due to a few 100 milers and 25 years of skateboarding so I started climbing instead like four years ago. Made my day this video! Brought a tear to my eyes, god I miss being in that kind of agony! Big thanks for the video and I hope Joe gets another go! And you are todays fooking superhero Tom!!! 💪💪 Next time also bring Mr Boat himself, I know he can do it and I knooooow he would have to dig the deepest thus he would love it the most (once finished atleast 🤣)
Wow it’s too bad you wasted so many years doing ultra marathons. I feel the same about wrestling. If I had climbed 10 years from 9-19 I’d be world class. No doubt
I am looking to upgrade my climbing shoes and I have a couple of questions. I’m considering to buy either solutions or solution comps. I climb mainly indoors. Do you reckon that solutions will be too stiff for indoors climbing? Also does comp rubber wear out quicker? Any insights will be much appreciated☺️
For indoors, I definitely recommend solution comps. Solutions are definitely stiffer and more ideal for outdoors. Another good alternative for indoor climbing is the La Sportiva theory. It’s softer like the solution comp but the rubber will last a little longer if that’s a concern for you
These kinds of “boulders” are so stupid. Setters just a few years ago - how can I set something to really feel like an outdoor climb since we’re trying to mimic actual climbing? Setters today - how can I make this as weird and ridiculous as possible so no one but me can even comprehend how to climb it?
Nikken & Teo are beasts! But seeing Hannes makes you realise there are levels. Jeesus
Yep, and then you realise even Hannes hasn't made it into a finals of a world cup boulder
There is always someone stronger than you, who just walks your problem and make you feel like a noob.
I love the way Hannes jumps in the first move, I shall call it "the starfish dyno" 😂🔥
From Nikken's 'dryfire of the year' to Hannes' impressive send (damn that looked so smooth - first go, right?) an EKB video exactly to my liking.

I'm assuming you meant to comment this on the bouldering bobats video? lol
@@lukeclimbs haha yes!
Wow it’s too bad you wasted so many years doing ultra marathons. I feel the same about wrestling. If I had climbed 10 years from 9-19 I’d be world class. No doubt
Lol, just casually summoning Hannes to try your project seems like a special level of super power
yay a video! that boulder was sick. Eric - can we get some grades for boulders? I'm always curious what yall think these are :)
Really great video. Music was on point, climbing was sick. Thanks Eric!
Man I love your videos! They never fail to get me pysched for a session!
What a super sick boulder from Nikken. Glad to see the legend Teo back as well!
Hannes just skipped half the boulder😂😂
At last a new video! Been updating my feed like crazy 😅
My man delivers!
Such a cool boulder!
When are we going to see an Eric Karlsson Bouldering public comp?
Excellent question! Future project for sure :D
Jeez, looking strong for taking time off, although sometimes that gives you the ability to recover I guess. That dyno hurt my fingers, haha.
Nice video! Did you guys get a MadRock sponsor? My favorite shoes for sure
7:05 That was insane
Just Awesome!
I hope the setters in my gym don't see this video to get the horrendous idea of blocking a pinch like that.
Teo still going strong after "grinding all summer" 😁👌
Teo is turning into Willem Dafoe and I'm here for it!
Wow. Hannes just floated up that boulder. That was super imoressive
Gotta make kilter board videos soon!
Finaallyyyy
The Puman always skits on your project
Surprise to see Hannes!❤
the thumbnail is modern art
a wild Hannes Puman appeared!

Was not expecting the moves Hannes made at all 😅
Teo’s stache is majestic
For The Algo!
What are the saying to hype each other up? Combien?
Yayayayayayayaya
dryfire or pulley pop, the difference is not that huge!
First in best dressed
Damn, Teo looks great. Those forearms of his are all sinew. Not sure how I feel about the pornstache tho.
