Following 18 year old climber Toby Roberts who recently qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics, seeing the training, try hard and everything around being a world class competition climber
You said you have a hard time finding gyms with good content. You should give Bern Switzerland a shot. The O,Bloc In ostermundigen has great climbs. I see the Swiss team in here regularly climbing. (Both male and female) and the lead climbs I’ve seen some 8C+ climbs. For me the comp style isn’t my thing being an older climber so unfortunately for me I stop just a few tags below the hardest difficulty which is 7a-7c range. But the harder ones should be good for you.
Subtle sidenote here: I love how all athletes trained - and competed - together. It wasn't split between men and women (although there were more men tbh). I strongly belief that some of the performance gap between men and women in many sports originates from women not training enough with the strongest men or not expecting to perform at a similar level in the first place. Climbing is such a complex sport beyond just raw power, so the often assumed difference might not exist on many boulders anyways. This is what I love about climbing: it has room for different strengths to show and it is a very inclusive community. In my view, especially the chess elite could learn a lot from this...
Toby: "Hey there, I am an Olympian coming for all the hard climbs here" B-Pump: "Bitch, be humble!" Jokes aside, the setting there looks so different (harder, more technical) that it appeared to be the perfect training opportunity.
2 of my favourite climbers, nice! I love that magnus can't not ask questions. Feels almost like a climb and interview cause he just wants to know what we all do xD.
Your challenge has become my favourite channel to watch. I was so shocked when i saw you collabed with Magnus as I’ve been watch him for ages now. We all need more of the in depth climbing videos. Can’t wait for the next upload
Same boulders for girls and boys so nice ! I don't understand why it is not the same in competition as it is the same boulders in nature and in gym. Anyway very nice video thanks for sharing ❤❤
The UK needs to start setting harder Boulders. It’s crazy that V5 is considered a “hard” grade. Like this gyms “hard” circuit starts at V5. There should at least be like a V8+ circuit.
