I can't tell if you have the best hidden cameras in climbing or if Saul made you redo all those grabs for the action shots. That's worth bonus points imo
Note for the Editor: if you stop the music, the viewer knows he is going to drop. Maybe add parts (or just one part) where you stop the music but he keeps going and topping the boulder. Like a fake out to keep the viewers on their toes ;)
Point Scorer on steroids. This is an epic challenge and great camera work, Sol. The ending was awesome, Sol eating a pastry...."How many am I on?" after Louis had done push-ups, Sol's response, "Umm, Three." with a perfectly straight face. Just....yes. Just noticed Louis' comments in the beginning. "Sol might be doing hundreds of push-ups." Foreshadowing. Congrats on the commentators curse Sol.
Looking forward to climbing in London within the new year these gyms look huge, has anyone from Catalyst or out of Cambridge climbed in Cambridge kelsey keridge its small but great boulders, nice challenges , these videos help so much 😀
Need to give yourself more of a chance to actually finish that challenge, second attempts being worth half points but not losing a life if successful or something.
Seems a bit limiting to the setters... The gym I go to also uses a colour system, but with tape indicating the start holds. The downside is that it makes it harder to point out climbs; "the yellow red one" or "the green blue one" isn't very helpful when both colours could be the grade or the holds 😅
Unfortunately a good portion is to do with the size of buildings available, especially in the city its difficult to have buildings tall enough to hold top rope/lead walls inside
@@CatalystClimbing The walls look about 4 meters tall max, and the setting looks like a bland mix between old school and comp style. If I had to guess its owned and operated by business men with no climbing experience.

That there is a trade secret
i was wondering the same thing! seems like it's retakes, which is a lot more work, respect!

Thank you for the feedback!
Am I the only one frantically muting and unmuting to hear them talk but to not have to hear music I didn't chose for?
I love the way this centre makes the awkward parts of the building into features for climbing holds.
Gotta make the most of the space!
Ahhhh brand new holds! A treat for the eyes, a gift for the hands and a premature death for the skin.
They were honestly brutal

Thought that was gold too. 😂
Thank yoooou!
next level editing on this one!
Thank you!
this is my home gym and seeing louis smash all of the purples like it's a regular sunday really puts into perspective how much i suck... lol
19:13 truth is subjective, time is an illusion, this channel is good with numbers.
Always quality content. Minor counting mistakes aside, still seems like a fine way to spend a day.
When you explained the rules and guessed 1000 points I already knew it was almost impossible :D
We like a hard challenge!
The math wasn't great but the climbing sure was! Loved the video!
Louis, this latest look has to stay! Looking amazing man!
Thank you Sam!
No to the moustache! Awesome video though 😄👏🏻
Louis at the end "How many am I on now?"
Sol "Err like three?"
Was more preoccupied by the pastry...
My skin is screaming looking at those brand new holds
Ooooh they were absolute sandpaper
I look forward to the 130 push-up TH-cam short
Love the camera angles! I’m trying to do that with my own videos but holy they’re tricky 😂. Redoing something you almost fell off is hard lol
It really is tricky especially if you are dont it yourself!
This place definitely needs more lights
They are still working on it!

Haven't climbed there but we will have to check it out! Glad you are enjoying the videos!
great camera work!
Thank you Nick!

Ahh we like impossible seeming challenges though!
Someone needs schooling at maths, that's for sure. 😂
Hes doing his times tables right now
those are some really nice looking holds, far better than my gym
They have a great selection!
I don't care they messed up counting, it means more climbs for us to watch!
New climber here. My biceps hurt so bad after climbing. I stretch and take rest days but it's not helping. Tips???
Our main suggestion would be to go and see a physiotherapist!
same thing happened to me brah. eccentric curls, ice, and compression saved me.
Louis, how stiff soled are your climbing shoes, or do you have really good strength in your feet?
IIRC, he actually prefers very soft shoes. He's just wicked strong
The Mantras are super soft shoes!
Are you telling me there are still new gyms opening using hold color for the grading system?
Depends where you are maybe but the majority of London gyms still grade by colour. Tbh I think it can work quite well depeding on the hold sets used.
Every gym I've been to in Australia has this system, usually they'll have some sort of "wildcard" system or colour just to shake things up.

Can u climb with magnus?? Plzzz
Maybe need bonus points for climbing down on same route.
We would say not doing the press ups is bonus enough!
Please guys the maths were quite terrible 😂 need to write things down as you go. Good job tho and great gym, looks awesome
We did write it down! Was just we maaay have missed writing down 3 attempts 🙃
I see you at coaching at yonder a lot
Yes thats one of the gyms we coach at!
glad I'm not the only that calls pink holds purple
Its easily done!
I may be in the minority, but the guitar music is ubiquitous across TH-cam and really cheesy. I hope it gets replaced by something better soon.
Thank you for the feedback
Lovely video but the music is a bit much 😅
Thank you for the feedback
I think you owe us 50 push-ups
Dont worry, we will get Louis back next time
So many bouldering gyms opening, so few sport climbing walls 😔
Bouldering is best
Unfortunately a good portion is to do with the size of buildings available, especially in the city its difficult to have buildings tall enough to hold top rope/lead walls inside
Name that climb: 11:39
Pain. 😂
Nice❤
Thank you!
It think it would be better if you followed 2,4,8,16... points but fun game
But 1000 points seems much more dramatic 😉
@@CatalystClimbing Sure, just do 20, 40, 80... but V7s are much harder than v5s and should be awarded points accordingly.
Great video but I’m still confused 🤪
We were too in the edit trust us...
Can't count during the climbing, odds of being able to count pushups?
Low...
I thought it’s a Boulder game at the start but turns out to be more of a math game 😄
gym is called the font but uses v grades ...
if you flash a climb you shoulen't loose live's and also only get 10 lives
Why does that logo look like a political symbol from say 1930-40’s Germany?
this gym looks really bad.
We found it a fun space with great blocs!
@mongoose r u mad
