[tbunbury1]

there not bloopers there your different attempts

[luxorizy]

Is that route red?

[Brilliantchildarts]

Cool! ... Nice to see someone show the work to get there, than only what's been perfected!

[reps84]

I'm interested in trying bouldering out. What do i need? Do i have to be topless? ;)

[r2Kd0ugernaut]

@reps84 if you are female (and in good shape /w decent face) yes topless is required. if your a dude...its optional.

[snyderdothunter]

Do you always climb to Sarah McLachlan playing in the background? 

[marcusduck]

kneegrow music _l_

[Rainbowstunting]

The camera angle makes it look pretty easy. But I guess the wall is alot more angled then it looks. ;)

[donnywal]

BIG dyno, NICE JOB!!!

[moritobloke]

Niiiiiccee.... video! Good edit too. What is the software? Blackalicious = good choice of music

[hjhrocks]

software used to make this vid?

[michellena1234]

yeah that doesnt look like a v4

[donnywal]

@michellena1234 : looks like a 5 or 6 to me, that dyno is huge! But some gyms grade hard...

[milaserty]

I just love the editing of your video =)

Well done :)

[Matthew91balls]

why are you heel hooking that shit, just stand on it

[sarvelaj]

Why do you guys care that it wasn't perfect? It was a very well made video and that route is pretty kick ass. Nobody cares how good you are at climbing unless you have sponsors. Try climbing just to climb, don't get all technical with your "finish" and stop acting like your a damn rule book. You make people look bad. lol I'm done now :)

[LomLom333]

Nice! These videos make me miss climbing. I stopped after a nasty elbow dislocation :/

[MrMojoTv]

dude thats where i climb.



[natedawg1444]

Not that impressive I climb at ironwoks 3 times a week..... don't see why this vid has 74,000 views



[commonsense369]

@natedawg1444 you're my hero.

[Pexasaw]

This music is just the worst

[theultimateshoe]

American routesetting is so shit!!!!!

[jainsworr]

Dang, that's alot of arm strength

[Jackerius17]

Nice problem :)

[sarvelaj]

Ewwww why all of the haters? this is one of my favorite vids and its just fun to watch. You guys just need to relax.

[grandeTO9]

Should've broken his ankle to teach him a lesson.

[Drumheller477]

So what happens when you climing a real over hang and you do a stupid jump like that and then you eat shit and fall 50 feet?

[sarvelaj]

@Drumheller477 if your 50 feet up, you have a rope, unless your Alex Honnold, but then you wont be making jumps like that.

[koolguy21able]

@Drumheller477 are you stupid 50ft you have a rope and wouldnt try stuff like that

[Drumheller477]

no you

[canstopnot]

this is LAME

[willtombar]

nice dyno



[punkman5453]

loled at 1:27... oh that kinda hurt * moves mat closer*

[CarniverousBubblegum]

its not a comp or anything so why does it matter how he finishes??? lol

[BrentonSteinhilber]

@CarniverousBubblegum

That's just how it is. If you don't hold onto the top you didn't finish. You need to be in control. It only matters to the person doing the climbing if they want to finish the problem and improve their climbing.

[Thehoboestiffy]

lol he like kicked himself in the bloopers

[aaronkyro]

It looks like there's no hold in the end, so I guess they just have to touch it to clear the route?

[tuboricua123]

you didn't make it.....

[dramakrimp]

Shits easy lol. And work your core so you dont swing like that. Got to get the basics before trying to be manly. :)

[CarniverousBubblegum]

good job!! that dyno looks really fun!!

[rustydemon]

Got swinging? Need m0ar body tension imo.

[MrPUNJA18]

definitely should have used a right heel instead of left, looked awkward

[ceebo100]

@MrPUNJA18 Thats exactly what i thought 

[dironman86]

I tried my first dyno today... maybe I'll complete my first dyno another day... ha =]

[uhcooldude]

Nice man that looks like a fun problem and whatever I know you are supposed to hold on with two hands at the top to show control but it really looked like you could have done that anyways nice video

[lcart10]

Don't need the two hands, just need to show control. Though whatever, after than dyno I'm sure he could have held onto the top if he really wanted to.

Though it's not a comp or anything, so it really doesn't matter.

[BrentonSteinhilber]

I've spent many years climbing at Iron Works and I'll say that their problems are very soft. A five at ironworks is more like a three or four elsewhere. All the problems seem to be rated a grade higher than at other gyms. Doesn't mean that one place is wrong, it's all subjective, that's just the way it is.

[BrentonSteinhilber]

Yes, technically you didn't "complete" the problem if you didn't grab in the box for a controlled period (usually two seconds) of time.

Two hands though? Not necessary. You SHOULD be able to grab with both hands, but I finish problems all the time one handed. With top-outs like the ones at Iron Works there's no need to prove you can grab with both hands. The top outs are jugs there.

[TheBlaizeobrien]

folks this is a great vid a good climb and i dont see why all of you are so fussed about the finish it wasnt a competition

[wburgboy75]

If you want to argue about who is more skilled and who is capable of doing what physically, go buy some roids and try out for football or one of the other neanderthal mongoloid sports. Who knows... maybe this guy was a total beginner, in which case this is impressive. Maybe he posted this for his friends to see, and not for a bunch of critical jerkoffs to ridicule. Maybe. Just some thoughts, climbers.

[wickedrebelska]

Could more people tell him he need to hold the top hold with both hands please, I don't think enough people have said it yet.

And also, can more people grade the route as lower the V3. it doesn't matter that you haven't done the route or seen what any of the holds are really like, you can totally tell better than this guy.

[MylesDennett94]

V3 at the most ! and you were not in control at the top

[dswope09]

i count it. he did the crux, quit being so ridiculous.

[Dalamon1]

V4 my ass.... jugg, jugg, jugg,jugg....

[CoolstorytroII]

That was a lulz route. Nice edit though

[MasterKatra42]

While I didn't enjoy the climbing that much, the effort you put into editing this was worth it. All too often in bouldering videos, people don't highlight the holds used and it all looks the same.

[ungyman]

so u r like a v4 indoor climber but only a v0- outdoor climber thats lame its the same have u even ever climbed outside?

[lolcatcatlol]

@ungyman I don't know where all this ridiculous LOLOUTDOOR elitism spawns from, but it also seems to be followed by people who don't know what they're talking about.

[ungyman]

u need to get outside thats not a v4 lol more like a 1

[qwert371]

@ungyman outside is different bro

[cleotus850]

dont slap the top. hold it

[avlayort2]

Blackalicious goes perfectly with this video. nice editing

[sk8fan1122]

too bad all boldering videos arent this good. some people just put no effort into some of these videos. in this video clearly you put some effort into editing

[foxyluca100]

Thats not a proper finish ;)

[fullbeardyo]

slappies dont count

[bazemmar123]

that dosent look like a v4

[animeman1236]

just goes to show that just because your not wearing a shirt doesnt mean sometimes you wont fall off, Good climb though man :D

[neiltg613]

he had control.

[McMaster32]

didnt even finish it. slapping the last hold doest count haha

[carsonm3]

amazing

[pja255]

awesome problem

[orangejulius072]

i've missed so many dynos it's not even funny

[ferraccinicolas]

too bad he didnt hold the last spot for 3 secs! ^^

[123abcbobcat]

yawn a v4?

[bencas1234]

I agree with pothead194..... gotta finish two hands to show you are in control.

[madavalanche]

@bencas1234 there was a two-hand finnish, however he didnt have controll on the attempt(s). As show in the start of the clip its one big ?sloper? and the edge.

[jman22141]

nice problem. really like that you laid it out before hand.

[dnb11289]

That looks like a very fun problem, i just started about 2 months ago, my dad built a bouldering cave in the basement. Im very into problems like that. I climb at hesters gym in louisville ky. I like all the low level dyno's thats what I found I'm good at so far, i am about an V3-5 climber. Anyone have any vid's to request?

[Arjaayy]

v3-v5 thats pretty big range

[martinmedeski]

nice

[Radyr91]

Dude! U know that u only did the route if u hold the top for 2 secs with both hands right? :D

[Petzlfan]

@Radyr91 no, its just showing control, theres no time req

[TheBlaizeobrien]

@Radyr91 it was about the climb and dyno holding at the end wasnt important

[cwvols91]

that heel hook was so unneeded but other than that good climb

[RANGONO]

that looks almost identical to hangar 18 out in riverside california

[pothead194]

you need to put both hands in the box at the top of the climb.

[fourmont4]

looks like a real fun problem

[almostadu]

ahaha what r the odds...thats where i climb

[BrentonSteinhilber]

that's right where I broke my ankle. Other than that I have nothing but good things to say about that cave.

[thejugglingfool]

thanks for showing the problem before you climb it. because if you don't know where the person's going you get confused

[jimbob9631]

that doesnt really look like its a v4 but it sure does look like a fun problem

[1gnoramus]

hell ya, ironworks is the shit. great place to get strong. for anyone within 50 miles of berkeley go climb the wave at berkeley ironworks!

[mteverest29028]

Well done mate, and I love how Blackalicious sounds with it.

[mrshinypant]

Cool climb, but what I rly liked was the format you made your vid. I should start doinging my vids like that when I climb.

[sk8fan1122]

dude u should make some more videos like this

[sk8fan1122]

great i love to watch this problem

[krasusboy]

looks like a fun problem

[mistapipsta]

awesome! thanks for posting the bloopers too,....just to show ur human =)

[TheBawok]

that dyno is insane =O

[prozack28]

nice little circle graphics things.

[sanchn0r]

Has it been sent? If not: instead of your left heel, use your right heel. You can thank me later.

[HypnoticSuggestion]

Nice work, having that kind of strenth is a very good thing, you'll live a long healthy life. People that can do this kind of thing, have things easier in life. The stronger, faster, and lighter a person is, the easier every single task in life is. Whether it be just work, walking somewhere, obviously playing sports. I dunno how you jumped that inverted spot, but nice job. I can't imagine running into an inverted spot on a climb.....with no way down. You people got balls, congratz on all>>>

[moobaseto]

F*cking Eh! hot!

[jimemarsden]

This is insane...

[scionxb1123]

Nice dyno man! What is that song btw?

[landon5583]

Blackalicious - Chemical Calisthenics

[acetoa]

sweet

[boxsterwelby]

great climb, it sucks because it does no justice to watch it on film. I'm trying to learn technique, but it doesn't show any of the difficulty to watch it on film.

[RKLounsbury]

smoov moov

[pmeflip]

i like how you incorporated the bloopers. It makes it look like a project that you had to work for... makes it more real

[somegi9]

nice dyno man, you really stuck it well

[trueclimber1]

DAN!!!!!!! CLIF BARS ARE NASTY!!! nice climb but match the top next time

[95060j]

i love dinos :)

[danprid]

I went there when I went to America, I ate lots of 'Clif' bars.

[ilikegames123]

tight dyno

[WhitAJ1]

what is that song

[khizoa]

still indo

[skaboss292]

sick dyno

[vco87]

What he did was "proper." His right leg is used to start the momentum and then is used for an outside flag. If he'd have used his left leg, the momentum would have to be generated somewhere else--possibly from the hips or a full rotation of the body. Either way would be acceptable, but my guess is that using the left leg would make the already dynamic move harder.

[wydim]

ok, from my point of view (in front of the screen), you don't need a left heel hook where you used it. A simple RIGHT foot would work. but I may be wrong (I'd have to try it to tell for sure)

but nice video,

[CDPuffer]

Just Campus!!!

[lucas545454]

um, not rly bud. since you need ur right hand to jump up right a little bit. using ur right foot would be rly awkward on ur right hand thats jumping. so left foot is smarter

[wydim]

hmm... no, I don't think so. The way he did it IS awkward. He did it dynamicaly. Using the outer edge of your right foot, you can do this move the static way.

[lucas545454]

well since his 2 hand holds at the time were directly above and up left, using his left foot keeps his balance. if he had used his right foot, his left side would be a lot heavier and would make it vry difficult. if you're able to keep your balance like that, then the jump would have been easier with the right foot, since he's goin up right, but i think it would be harder with the right foot due to body balance

[wydim]

I read 3 times your last comment but what you're saying is exactly the opposite of what is right.

Do you see what his right leg does right after he catches the hold after the heel hook ? (it swings to the left). That's because he is off balance and the only thing that prevents him from falling off to the left is his right hand that just caught the hold.

[wydim]

... now if he used his right foot to push on the hold, he could also use his left foot to push against the wall (no holds) and prevent his body to swing to the left. He would then only have to reach for the next hold without even jumping and do this the static way.

[wydim]

just to make sure you get the reply

(my comments are up there)

[lucas545454]

k, he has a left hold up left, and a right hold at center. its very difficult to put your right foot where ur right hand is (lower), then make a big leap up right. using his right foot would completely get rid of the usefulness of having a left grip, which is what he NEEDS to use, because it's up higher. using left foot may be a bit less comfortable, but it allows him to use his left hand to propel, and make the jump

[wydim]

whatever... I don't care

[lucas545454]

ya, u know im right :P but i know what ur saying, its just it would be extremely awkward trying it your way, MAYBE easier for some climbers, but not for 90% of us

[Rock0nsight]

you dont know what your talking about,, go take a basic climbing course NOW!!!

[Rock0nsight]

you have NO idea what your talking about.. do you even climb? if right hand is reaching, basic technique is right foot on...

[FraserManG]

see you around

[TravisMat88]

thats such a nasty route...i would die to try that

[jackbauer2469]

cool video

[aimlessdrive]

what's this song name/artist?

[Startribes]

dude. you are a monkey man.

[huyiy]

its not v.4,, v4 with no periods/dots... and thats why you had a hard time coz you got the left heel hook, right heel would have been a lot easier,, less pull.. climbing isnt about all power, you need to relax and focus on technique as well...

[jakubgalczynski]

i agree,,but its alot differnt when u try it probably. they look like bomber holds though

[huyiy]

yea im pretty sure with ur right heel would still be better hehe even if i didnt try it

[jboberg]

thats badass.
