Bouldering Outdoors Alone! (Not Really)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ต.ค. 2024
- Hey y’all! On Saturday, I was supposed to go rope climbing with two friends. An hour past our meeting time, I left them a note at our meet-up spot and ventured into the bouldering area, where I had seen two groups go while I was waiting!
Thus, I reiterate: Not climbing solo, just hiking in/driving in solo, to meet up with random strangers who weren’t expecting me :~)
I’d also like to thank tentree for their generosity in supplyin’ some sending fits and my new favorite backpack!! I mentioned in the video that parts of it are made with “algae blooms” (lol) but to see a video of all the thought that went into making that backpack, check it out here (they do really use pond algae to make parts of the backpack!) • Mobius Design

Also, if you read this far, can I tell you a secret? I'm going to be DONE applying to grad school very soon, and am going to be taking off ALMOST A YEAR to focus on Jenn Sends before I hit the science grind as a neuroscience grad student :~) I'm going to have lots of time to travel, so comment where you're from and we'll see if I can arrange a visit! I know I'm already going to be in England and Germany in April-ish, and I'm planning to visit the Pacific Northwest in the summer and Austin TX in the early spring. WHERE ELSE SHOULD I GO LMK!

I watch a lot of climbing vlogs (probably should replace some of them with actual climbing) but yours is among my favorites because (and please don’t be offended) I feel like I can achieve the things you do whereas I doubt I’ll ever climb like Magnus Mitbo or Anna Davey. Their vlogs are wonderful and informative and they seem like great people but their climbing is incredibly far beyond what I’m currently capable of. And maybe beyond what I’ll ever be capable of! Plus, the way you edit, comment in screen, etc. makes you very approachable. Plus, I’m also in SoCal so I know some of the places you go (including this one).
ahhh thanks so much!! and not offended at all :D i love magnus and anna both but i'm definitely not at that level yet, and i'm so happy to hear that people like watching someone more relatable! thanks so much for the words of encouragement :~) if you're in socal then hopefully i'll see you around!
Ariolimax C. True of course, and I watch Magnus (and Anna for the matter of that) both to try to learn some small thing and to be amazed at his skill. And that’s not to diminish learning from Jenn as well, but from her I feel like I can get there too.
Man, I need to start filming myself climbing just to analyze all the things I'm doing wrong, it's so hard to know when you're climbing but so obvious when you look at it from the ground (Like how you point out a lot of "Oh why did I cut feet, why did I heel early..." in this video, I'm sure I'd have ten times more things to correct 😁)
yes!! i highly recommend people to film themselves climbing, even if they don't want to start youtube channels of their own :-) it's a great way to analyze your technique but ALSO really satisfying to document your progress as you improve over time!
You are seriously such a great youtuber and a giant inspiration for rock climbing for me you’ve help me a lot for the past couple months keep up the great work
Nice progress on the B1 Traverse. Next go for sure. Hope you are not offended by some advice (I'm not one of those dudes that sprays beta at girls on the wall at the gym), but I noticed your leg is straight/not engaged when you get those heel hooks. Maybe try to engage your heel when you heel hook (i.e. pull up on your heel), which can save some precious energy on your arms when you make hand movements to avoid getting pumped. If you engage your heel, your body can be above the next hand hold so you're not always throwing up to the next hold, but using your heel to keep you closer to the wall and to the next hold. But yeah, a lot of that comes from trusting your feet/heel on rock, which just comes from more outdoor experience.
oooh that's solid and welcome advice! i noticed that my forearms were feeling the burn close to the end, and learning how to engage my heel is gonna come in handy for future climbs. thanks so much for the detailed and thoughtful advice!
Come to England next year and visit the Peak District! It’s my home turf. Catch it on a good day and there’s not many places like it on earth. Beautiful.
Niiiice, get that free gear sis! Can't wait to see your channel grow even more
Hey Jen. I think I am in the same boat of many others when I say I just subscribed a few days ago and somehow have already watched all of your videos. You make me smile and continuously inspire me to keep on climbing even if I am the only teenage girl in a gym full of adults. Thank you!! Oh and by the way, your editing style is the cutest I have ever seen and I absolutely love it!! Keep on making great content, can't wait to see you grow. :))
OMG! thank you so much!! i can't believe that you watched my other videos too, that means so much! and ahh, i think i know how you feel (ish!) most of my friends from the climbing gym are 5+ years older than me, and i don't have many climbing friends around my same age! but it's so great that you're inspired to keep going even if you might be the only teenage gal there :) keep going!! thanks so much for your sweet comment
WASTED! Lol brilliantly done.👌. Your personality really shines through! Great role model for old and young alike! and great push for tentree!🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Love your stream of consciousness bouldering/editing.
Really loved this little adventure and your analysis of each climb! So much blue sky making me so much envious of outside climbing - I could swear it's been raining for 8 months here in the UK.
I had a holiday booked for the End of September at the peaks to boulder, that was the first weekend of all this rain and hasn't stopped since. :(
iansanemusic not sure how far you are from the Peak but this weekend coming looks nice! ☀️
This weekend looks great for it!!
Yayyy I love your videos 😊. I get to live vicariously through your outdoor bouldering videos at the moment since it's raining where I'm at.
All of your videos are so inspiring *_* YOU are so inspiring Jenn, thank you for being this little sunshine giving us all these tips ☀️
ahh thank you so much! :~) so honored to be thought of as sunshine :D
« Oh I made eye contact » 😂
Please continue, you are great. 👍
love it, that b4 traverse is a ton of fun. going out there myself on sat!!
oooh i hope you have lots of fun!! hopefully the weather won't be too bad! :D
While going outdoor bouldering with friends is a ton of fun, I actually quite enjoy going just by myself. Especially when I am throwing myself at a project over and over and over again. I have sent most of my hardest outdoor climbs by myself actually and I have no regrets. I can say the biggest hurdle is probably carrying out enough pads to make it safe. Price to pay though. Always worth the extra effort. Cheers.
Jenn you’re so awesome for doing a solo bouldering sesh outdoors. Keep going!
LOL thank you, even though it wasn't intentional :D
Go Jenn! Great progress on the traverse. I haven't sent that yet. Let's all go back sometime and get it!
oh heck yeah scott! it definitely goes! let's hit it soon :D
GREAT job on Thin Crack, happy to see you persevere and send it!
thanks so much! :~) it used to really scare me, but i think i'm getting a better mental game when it comes to outdoor climbing
Always looking forward for your climbing videos. Everytime I watch you climb, my palms and feet starts sweating lol
I read your description. Come visit Edmonton Alberta, Canada sometime!!
Reimen E that’s where I liveeeeeee
@@thepinkparade1 I'm still pretty new in the climbing scene. We should climb together sometime then! I'M SERIOUS!
You're also welcome to join us Jenn! lol
Reimen E I’m fairly new too, I’m down!
@@thepinkparade1 Lets exchange contact and plan it out! add me or send me a message on my insta: reindeer.e
Come to tucson! There's not a lot of great bouldering but there is a ton of great rope climbing... or flagstaff if you've gotta get your bouldering fix in!
I need to start climbing again. Life isn't the same. Cool videos.
Hope you stated again! Climbing rules
I was just contemplating going bouldering alone a few hours ago...nice
You always have really good music!
Excited for more future content from you! Especially since you'll be travelling. Keep it up✌️
Hey Jenn, great videos and especially great soundtrack ! Between England and Germany why wouldnt you come to Paris ? You could join me and my friends for a climbing session in Fontainebleau !
fontainebleau would be an absolute dream!! i always feel insecure not being able to speak french when i'm in france, though :D but if you wanna climb, i'm seriously down!!
I live in Alaska and there is great climbing up here to check out. Plus 20 hours of daylight in the summer.
Omg I’ve been looking for some good bouldering spots nearby, this is amazing!
I’ll have to check these out
Ayyyyyy grad school! Best of luck. I finished my degree almost a year ago. Good to get a break before the grind :).
Best of luck!
thanks so much!! :~) and yes, the break is very crucial! :D
Come to Slovenia! It's a very beautiful small country in Europe with lots of rope climbing and bouldering spots! You will love it! :)
I always enjoy watching these videos.. between the superb editing and the fact that you have your own brand of adorable (and impressive, you hyperproductive little beast), they make for an exceptionally pleasant viewing =)
Also, I'm not sure if this is deliberate or not, but that "back to you, non-editing Jenn" is straight out of a Magnus Midtbo video =D (dunno, maybe he took it from somewhere else as well..)
oh is it really!! i swear i'm not trying to copy him :D i've seen some other lifestyle youtubers do it (emma chamberlain, bestdressed) and that's where i took it from :~) but ahh thank you so so much for your support, i'm glad you find the videos pleasant to watch :D
Watching this in freezing weather with snow on it's way here..... ugh....
Have fun on your trip!
I'm in London - we have decent gyms.
Come bouldering in Texas! I've been climbing 4 years and still haven't been outdoors yet 😬
that traverse looks so fun! also love the gta V effect at 7:40 lol
LOL i'm so glad you noticed that effect because i was cracking up alone in my room editing that part and had no idea if anyone else would find it funny
Such a quality bouldering crack, which I had something like that around me
I always like to climb with someone as it is a lot more fun than just solving the problems yourself
Hugo Kuhns Debateable.
This is the jensends video we needed :) 💚
I solo boulder at Horse Flats all the time! Thin crack is kinda stiff for a V0 isn't it?
Hi! Your links on both of your climbing shoes doesn't work! :(
I’m sure you plan on doing this, but once you start sending some of these problems make a side by side video. And I can’t wait to see them go down!
that's such a good idea!! the next video i post is actually gonna be a project video where i try this problem 10000 times before finally sending it, and i want to put the attempts side by side to compare beta! great minds think alike!! :D :D
cool stuff jennifer
Yo Jenn, looks like fun!
Cool video! Which cities do you plan to visit when you come to Germany?
i'm going to be visiting my grandparents who live near cologne :~) and i also want to check out the gym in dortmund!
I love your editing style. Do you handwrite the notes you add in?
i do!! yes! on my ipad :-) thanks so much!
Hey :)
I see that you are wearing the scarpa instinct, what do you think about them, do you like them?
Are they good on volumes?
At the moment I'm thinking about buying them, but I am not sure as they are pretty expensive
hey!! so... they don't fit my foot as well as the la sportiva solutions because the arch of my foot is somewhat high. for volumes they've been okay so far, but i feel like they're a little on the stiffer side. a lot of my friends prefer to have a more flexible shoe for volumes so that they can smear really well. i'd check out adam ondra's video called "the alchemy of climbing shoes" as well, he kinda talks about the shoes he uses for volumes!
I'm currently recovering from a broken foot and ankle that happened 6 weeks ago at Horse Flats (video on my TH-cam). I just started watching your videos and really enjoy them!
omg ashley you're KIDDING i actually watched that video before you commented!! you have really good videos of some classic climbs here in socal; i've def lurked your page before looking for some outdoor climbing inspo :~) i hope you have a speedy recovery!! let me know if you want to climb when you get better!!
2:41 same! I always lieback when I get to a crack. Seems like it works well enough? I'm not sure when jamming becomes necessary and useful but it must at some point, right? But in general, I'm still not convinced that liebacking isn't the best approach. Maybe someone here knows?
Can't always lie back. How'd you do it in a roof crack lol?
roof crack??? my palms are sweating
hmm after giving it some thought, maybe this is just one of those climbs where a lieback makes more sense? i understand why certain cracks require a good jam, maybe the more narrow ones? it also seems like a much more energetically efficient way of going about the climb, if you can jam well enough :D but i'm just a boulderer over here, what do i know :D
@@JenniferLangen 😂 Check out Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker (you might know them already), they are insanely good crack climbers.
A buddy is necessary to give you more protect, at least help you move the pad
Please do more lab + scientist videos !!
Jenn! You're so funny!
Hey Jenn, check out this musician by the name of Rickolus, think you'd like him. Stay safe! Crimp hard!
how charming
Thanks for the good video, however, if you get your sportswear for free... is it really not sponsored in a way? I dont think its an ad, but at the same time explicitly stating that it is not sponsored... goes maybe a bit too far in the other direction...
Hard to find a good middle ground I guess. :/
The VIDEO isn't sponsored, as in she didn't receive money from Tentree for this video.
She, as a person, is sponsored by Tentree at this point if she starts getting free gear.
@@guillaumechampagne6659 I know.
Still, the question is valid. For example I think if she were in the UK, she would have to say that this video is sponsored. (not sure what the current recommendations of their TV authority are)
A similar interesting discussion was done around reviews a few years ago, where outlets started to disclose when they got a copy of the game/hardware.
Also she did disclose that she got it for free, so my whole question isnt about right or wrong, but rather about the degree of where people think that one should stride in the gray area of sponsorship.
i'm honestly not really sure how to disclose it, tbh :~/ i really do appreciate you keeping it all in check though. i've had email contact with like ~3 brands so far and am super new to all of this - there are some companies that have terms that explicitly state "don't state that we're sponsoring you unless it's a paid promotion!!" as in they pay me $ on TOP of free gear. i wasn't really sure what to do in this instance :// i def wanna stay as transparent as possible tho!! so keep asking those questions because i genuinely wanna talk about those things
@@JenniferLangen I think the way you handle it in this video is perfect and very transparent. As your channel grows and you start having "influence" (hate that term), I think it's normal that brands will want to affiliate with you, it's awesome.
Just disclose it, but as long as you don't get paid to make a specific review or whatever, I'd say you're supported by X brand and not sponsored?
IDK, I'd say sponsored involves money, where supported means free gear and stuff, but that might be a distinction only in my head lol..
@@JenniferLangen You are doing great :)
Mhh a company having an NDA on sponsored gear.... that seems fishy?
nicee :D
Jenn come to Italy!
Exactly where?
In the surroundings of Arco on Lake Garda it is full of boulder parks and lead zones that can offer inspiration to her videos.
(Also the Mello valley is famous for its boulder problems).
you're so great
where’s Martin !!!
OMG HAHAHA i wish i had a better answer, he just straight up didn't feel like climbing that day and wanted to play music instead :D but to be fair, he thought i was going with two of my other friends who he didn't know that well, which is probably also why he stayed home that day :)
Jenn Sends smol fan girl over here 🙈, love you two together!!
travel to sender one sna ill guest pass you!
Hey Jenn, I love your channel. Long time viewer, recent subscriber. (Dick move i know).you mentioned you want to travel and see the world. I live in Sydney and us folk in upside down world love to boulder. I've been bouldering since August and sent my first 2 v6's last weekend and would love for you to join me and the crew in a session or 12 (if you come for 2 weeks) we train hard and eat/drink harder. I know this is a long shot and a little cringe but if you want to get in contact my Instagram is at @pinksstagram. Me and the crew at nomad would love to have you down to send, much love and happy sends George
Second
so have you decided to switch back to the women's instincts?
i'm trying them out right now! i will say that the solutions might fit my feet a little better. there's a little bit of space in the arch of my foot, but the next size down is a little too painful for my liking. oh well, i really like the shoe other than that!
cutie
There is nothing wrong with climbing alone wtf
