    two points id like to make here 1-not only is it 10/10 for the skilful climbing but also 10/10 for the AWESOME camera skills point 2 even my cat loves watching louis

      OMG, same here. My cat has started flashing and doing crazy dynos since watching Louis. Captain Catloose fosho.

    Epic flash the set challenge. Terrific job Louis and Omar. This just goes to prove that not all climbs will have a route that is easily readable, and you just have to get on and try and figure it out on the wall. Thanks for including that one especially.

    Could you do a Moonboard flash session in a similar vein

    if you want a nice challenge, in Delft (The Netherlands) here we have 174 boulders ranging from 2 to 7c+ and sometimes even some 8a through 8b+ for the Dutch national team te train on. I would love to see you take on all those boulders (maybe skip the first 4 circuits though ;) )

    You should do a flash the set challenge with some other youtube climbers, like Magnus!

    What are they called and where do I get them in the States?

    You can try the board set at Rise in Canning Town. Set by Aidan Roberts and the Wedge crew, so some proper hard climbs. Don't think you'd find the regular set too hard though

    • @slurpie4134
      @slurpie4134 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I went to the Rise on Sunday and good lord their grades are heavy 🤯 I comfortably do 6c's (V4-5)s in other gyms but at the rise I could barely start their v4s

    • @huwrosen
      @huwrosen ปีที่แล้ว

      @@slurpie4134 I too got smashed by their gradings a few weeks ago XD. I project around V5/6 and Rise I got like 2x V4s lol.

  • @spudlet366
    @spudlet366 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    would be great for sets such as that purple at the end that louis ran into issues with but to see the setters climb it how it was intended just for a different view... obviously after we've watched louis struggle, and then work it out! great video and some amazing climbing as always!

  • @jonathanyes112
    @jonathanyes112 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Got a small set in the XC in Hemel you could check out, I’ve been constantly told the grades are sandbagged, goes V1-V7+

    • @xalingding
      @xalingding ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeh I climb at xc and there’s a lot of, you need to be stupidly strong to do one move, especially in the high grades. I wouldn’t take the xc grades too seriously 😂. Go up to mk if you want more reliable grading

  • @epicmasterm1811

    You should go to the climbing hangar london to try and flash the set it's a really nice gym with cool problems

    @Tristslayer ปีที่แล้ว +3

    If Louis's ever up in Leeds, the Black Circuit at City Bloc, or the Comp Set at The Last Sundance are both insane. They're pretty much there for the GB team (and feeders) training.

    I just wanna say, after a 7-8hr study day for my board exams (Getting my MD certification) watching you climb is some of the most graceful and smooth movements I've ever seen. I aspire to that level of grace while climbing! So relaxing to watch as well! Loving your channel and your vibes man! Keep it up!

    If you’re ever in South Wales, us climbers at Roc Bloc are always complaining (in a good way) how hard routes are in comparison to what they’ve been graded. I reckon you should be the judge of it!

    I think that the free solo joke misunderstanding is a cultural one. My compatriots on the Western side of the Atlantic are often under the mistaken impression that if you're English, then English must be your native language. What Americans don't realize is that the English haven't spoken English for centuries--the native language of contemporary England is sarcasm.
