      Love the lead. Also, can you plug the songs/musicians you have in the vids. I always love your selection, they sound so fresh🤗

      Lead climbing while filming from the lift was the best discovery of 2018!

      The project videos were probably my favorite series of videos he’s ever put out

  • @BenRea1
    @BenRea1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +172

    This was one of my favorite episodes yet. Not because I like lead climbing so much but because of the story telling and raw emotion. You can’t force this but when it does happen it’s really special. Great work and happy for Kajsa :)

    @killercamps 6 ปีที่แล้ว +147

    PLEASE, MORE LEAD CLIMBING!!! Where I'm from my gym does not have a very big bouldering section and it is nice to see indoor lead climbing apposed to outdoor because not everyone gets the opportunity to go outside and can only climb indoors. Love the vids guys and wish I could climb in such an awesome gym like yours!!

    • @EricKarlsson
      @EricKarlsson  6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yeah more lead videos will come, emil and I have plans :D

    I don’t usually comment on TH-cam videos, but this was one of my favorite episodes on this channel, and Ive watched all of your videos! Love the storytelling in this one

      Glad you liked it that much! :)

  • @Mindofliz
    @Mindofliz 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is cool because i'm so afraid of heights when climbing but it's awesome watching her push through the fear, plus she's just so chill and fun

  • @climbinggymnetwork1019
    @climbinggymnetwork1019 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I can really relate. I've had acrophobia since I was very young. I did bouldering for years, and still wasn't over it. Once I started climbing with auto-belays on a 32 feet wall I finally started feeling comfortable with the height, and that ended up making a huge difference in my bouldering. I didn't realize until the fear was gone how much it was holding me back even just a few feet off the ground and indoors.

  • @nitwitgamers
    @nitwitgamers 6 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    I was wondering where she's been! She's looking strong!

  • @Xeratas
    @Xeratas 6 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    12:01 so important that she fell there, like she said after. it was an important step to do for her mental game. therefore absolute repsect to her

  • @yushy5816
    @yushy5816 6 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    I love seeing Kajsa climb, great video as usual.

  • @danielsprague2652
    @danielsprague2652 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    This was actually quite emotional. Much more than just climbing going on here and it had me almost crying... Thanks for the inspiration Kajsa and Eric!

  • @MrHenne826
    @MrHenne826 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love watching Kajsa climb, she is so methodical and precise with every movement, not to mention strong as hell! Would love to see you guys do more lead climbing for sure

  • @jessharris5858

  • @liamo1555
    @liamo1555 6 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Eric! The emotional tone and narrative of this video really comes to life with your shot pacing and music selection, I really love this one. Would love to see you guys do more lead climbing vids as well. Now excuse me, I think I'm going to go climbing

  • @andrewkim9503
    @andrewkim9503 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    We miss Kajsa! Hope she's doing alright.

  • @timchristiansen3642
    @timchristiansen3642 6 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    im surprised she is that scared of falling. she didt show any fear at all at the nordic lead championship witch she won with a spectacular climb on november 24 2018 :) plz give us more lead climbing vids, just a litte bit :)

  • @ratona6367
    @ratona6367 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Kajsa is such a world class climber, its great to see her do longer routes, we can learn so much from her! Glad she is injury free!

  • @JesusVargas-ey5fi
    @JesusVargas-ey5fi 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was a growth video with her emotions and her way of working hard. One of the best videos in a while

  • @tylerjmccabe21
    @tylerjmccabe21 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you're covering the 'mental game' of lead climbing. Great video!

  • @melissaxthai
    @melissaxthai 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    One of favorite episodes because I can relate so well. Lead climbing requires such strong mental game, something that I work on every time I do routes, and it's nice to see a professional climber like Kajsa faces the same fears that the rest of us face.

  • @matthewcrowe421
    @matthewcrowe421 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Absolutely loved this style of episode dudes, even having a story arc of kajsa battling with herself and the redemption of committing to the move, it's like a new level for the vids and I've watched every one since you started !!!! First time I felt compelled to comment to let you know but I loved this video.

    • @EricKarlsson
      @EricKarlsson  6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @smuir6104
    @smuir6104 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am such a kajsa fan! I had shoulder surgery 5yrs ago, and i'm just now being able to climb again, so i'm happy to see Kajsa back. Also i would love to see more lead climbing with eric, emil, tor, mikken, norea, and of course Kajsa.

  • @imagzz4942
    @imagzz4942 6 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    Alright Eric, you can blame Emil for this one for that outro, because I'll hold you guys up on this. More lead climbing would be awesome... From BOTH of you ;)
    And, well, the other crewmembers as well of course :D

  • @laclimber3892
    @laclimber3892 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    So good! Being a woman I really appreciate when you have ladies in the videos! You guys are great in all but I can learn more from watching them. Kajsa is such a beautiful powerful climber! I’m working on healing a shoulder injury so this is encouraging 💕

  • @majaholm2430
    @majaholm2430 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Everything about this video was on point! Kajsa lead climbing, excellent choice of music, editing, good length (10-15 min), and so on... MORE!

  • @jamies7451
    @jamies7451 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your lead videos are fantastic, the camerawork is brilliant and the climbing is always superb. Great to see Kajsa back, she is incredible!

  • @thorna100
    @thorna100 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Such a cool way to film the climb. Never really seen lead from that kinda perspective before. Always thought they should cover lead world cups with techno crains

  • @wheelbegood
    @wheelbegood 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    She's really strong - makes this 8a look kind of easy :0

  • @Perception_

    Not only a great climber, but I'm also very impressed by how honest she is about her progress. A very tough and independant individual.

  • @ianpitts1398
    @ianpitts1398 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a very special story to tell and awesome to catch on video. It meant a lot to my wife to see such an epic post-surgery triumph. Fear can be a specific beast and I am glad that Kajsa stepped into the ring to fight it!! :)

  • @geoffers241
    @geoffers241 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @radman2995
    @radman2995 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I was thinking just the other day that it would be nice to see more of Kajsa on your channel. And baam there she is. How did that happen I don't know, but cannot complain really, good video. And generally I like lead climbing videos you've done recently, but just as much I enjoy bouldering and brushing Tor and stuff. So yea just keep it all coming for sure!

  • @taylormudford4621
    @taylormudford4621 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would love more lead climbing videos! I also haven't commented on a video in 10+ years, but I loved this one.

  • @hannahroberts1982
    @hannahroberts1982 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love everything about this video! Kajsa is fantastic. It's great to have her back and the music choice is on point, but what I love most about this video is how authentic it is. It feels so genuine to watch Kajsa openly and honestly work through her fears. It's a struggle almost all of us can personally relate to. Thanks for creating and sharing this awesome content!

  • @RachelNeedsAHug
    @RachelNeedsAHug 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I relate so much!!! I have so many fears about lead climbing based on unfounded fears like that and its nice to see I am not the only one who fears lead climbing like this.

  • @channel1reno
    @channel1reno 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    More lead climbing!!!! Was sooooo stoked when i saw the title, and more Kajsa as well!

  • @randaunez8190
    @randaunez8190 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    As always, stunned by Kajsa's way of climbing, so precise and technical that it is easy to forget how hard the route actually is. Looking forward for the next time !

    your leadclimbing stuff is at least as high quality as your bouldering videos, Eric! I'm super impressed with your elevator filming skills! top notch!

  • @gravitylabs7193
    @gravitylabs7193 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's very nice to see Kajsa back. If you are reading...Great job Kajsa! I had dislocated and mangled a great deal of tissue in my shoulder this past fall and had recently decided to hit the wall again. I empathize with the difficulties and absolute frustration in overcoming the mental limitations that come after a serious injury. It is very inspiring to see you commit through the uncertainty and take the fall. I certainly hope that we get to see more videos of you continuing to exhibit the great courage you have shown us in this video. You're amazing!

    • @kajsarosen6559

  • @chrisrugen
    @chrisrugen 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brave and remarkable climbs, Kajsa! Confronting fears is one thing, but doing it when you know you’re being recorded, and letting others see you do it, is even more impressive. It was great to see that even with immense talent and physical training, having to battle your mind is still part of it. The frustration felt familiar to me, a climber who’s still learning. Awesome work.

    • @kajsarosen6559
      @kajsarosen6559 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    @jpacheck2 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Kajsa is breathtakingly beautiful on the wall. If I had my druthers, I would like to see Erik back on the ropes. It was an impressive display with Magnus and it may be a transition back into some serious climbing. Stay awesome y'all!

  •  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Loved this video! So inspiring. Yes, more lead climbs please, and more women lead climbers too. This video inspired to climb harder & be braver!

    I saw Kajsa win the Nordic lead championships in Århus a couple of moths ago, her mental game seamed strong for the final route.

  • @manjuligupta6001
    @manjuligupta6001 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've somewhere along the way lost my calm lead head and it's really nice to see that even beastly climbers like Kajsa have fear. This video perfectly demonstrates climbing is as much mental as it is physical. Super awesome that she made herself commit and go for it even if it meant taking a swingy lead fall.

  • @micahhumphrey6817
    @micahhumphrey6817 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    @joannebrennan8321 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    @brynzeman-witzel4348 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I found this video super inspirational, I really struggle when climbing on lead and am often even afraid even when I am climbing a route that I would normally warm up on (several grades under my red point), it really helps to see such a crusher like Kajsa with the same struggles as I have to overcome her fears

  • @leoingson

  • @hillybilly6717
    @hillybilly6717 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely more lead climbing. I love the bouldering, but I just started to lead myself. It's very humbling and would love for some beginner videos of lead climbing as well.
