In Louis' mission for banger blocs, this week he is over at Eustonwall and we are seeing if he can flash not just a set... but the centre
Filmed back when Eustonwall was lovely and new as well as Louis having a healthy knee!

The fact Louis can just assume it's achievable to do every climb in an entire centre shows what a well rounded and top notch climber he is. Very impressive.

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Thank you for the lovely comment!

@ashhodson2063 Год назад

Or what a massive ego he is 👀

@Dave1507 Год назад

@@ashhodson2063 Or maybe it's a very small gym. Or the grades are soft, or any other reason.

I'm sure he is, but most climbing centres aren't setting in case Janja Garnbret or Adam Ondra turn up

As a non climber that has no idea why he’s here, CRAZY way to word your title. Flashing a whole gym is wild

@roboluigi Год назад

I was a huge fan of the fast speed climbing montage, but less of a fan of the 4-way edit. Perhaps this feed back means there’s less work for the editor? Otherwise fantastic work

@Lep-2206 Год назад

I completely agree

@lexinator111 Год назад

I liked it

@DomJC1992 Год назад

I'd quite like a best of both worlds approach, with the grid of sends in videos like this that would otherwise get pretty long, but then perhaps a raw/unedited video published elsewhere (could even be unlisted and linked in the description, or members only) with all the sends in full screen, regular speed

@johnnyd.j.6068 Год назад

I think it's just that there's so much footage that if they showed every V6+ individually the video would be 40 minutes long

@Ajfmaizy Год назад

It's an interesting point, I guess it's always a trade-off between focus and clutter, longer or shorter video, what to include and exclude. Personally thought the multiple climbs at once in a grid worked well, could just skip back and look closer if needed, but then I was viewing casually instead of focusing on the detail of any moves

@AndrewSlackey222 Год назад

Would love to see a Louis and Magnus flash the centre challenge!

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Now thats an idea!

@DekarNL Год назад

And do some 8b lead climbing as well 🤩

@ashhodson2063 Год назад

No! Magnus is actually interesting and has eclectic educational content. Louis is a massive ego and has zero imagination in regards to content. Hence him just showing off in every video.

4 way splits are really hard to follow. I kinda get the idea, especially for the "less interesting" climbs in the sets, but about all I could get from those was "yep he sure is climbing"

@onewingedsongbird Год назад

Would love to see all the climbs uncut, maybe breaking up the vids by grade or a range of grades. As an intermediate climber, I would have loved to watch him in detail on those.

@mystishio Год назад

Man, Louis has the best energy ever! Such a great climber too! Thoroughly enjoyed this one, lads. Cant wait to get back to the gym! 💪

@SpAm-AcCoUnT Год назад

Sick! I learn a lot from watching Louis climb in terms of where to use technique, where to use power, and how to balance the two together. Chuffed to see it as always!

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Great to hear!

@nathanrice7352 Год назад

Question: do you consider it "cheating" to push off an off-route hold as if it was smearing the wall? For example, the white hold at 9:03. Doesn't really change how he was going to climb it, but it is using an off-route hold.

@johnwheeler2511 Год назад

I wouldn’t personally, I think the difference is if you don’t “use” the other hold for an advantage and it just happened to be where you were flagging /smearing as it would be no different if the off - route hold wasn’t there :)

@jacktrussler20 Год назад

@Mindofliz Год назад

Route setting gloves are good for holding the drills and screws constantly bc that can cause blisters and skin wear too! Then climbing in them is just easier than taking them off every time to forerun lol. Idk how I haven't seen this video Louis, this is so fun thank you!

@itsmikehayden Год назад

How about an app or podcast or whatever for Louis to narrate a climbing session. How easy would that be? "Alright guys, here's the warmup, find yourselves a blah blah blah. Alright pause here for [x time] and rest. While you're doing that find yourself [whatever the target holds/difficulty/set is]. When you're ready, hit play and I'll let you know what's next." Etc., Etc. How brilliant would that be? An app would be tough but just audio narration as a podcast would be dirt cheap and easy to produce and minimal for hosting costs. Hell, mini series on hang board sessions for various levels, mini series on what even is a wide pony? What side do you face your thumbs in cracks. How to read rest points on routes. Stuff like audio guides for the climber. Like a follow along podcast or something. What a resource in wish I have right now, let alone when I began. If anyone does steal the idea, just slip me a free voucher for life.

@giesskannenbauer Год назад

Hey, great video! I noticed you've been using the La Sportiva Mantra lately. I couldn't manage to find it anywhere close to me to try it myself, so how do you like it so far? Any pros / cons? How does it compare to (for me) comfy shoes like e.g. the scarpa veloce? :) Would also love to see a video about it! ;)

@Jackwithoneeye Год назад

Not Louis but I have been climbing in the mantras for a couple of months . I would say I quite like them and will mostly just buy another pair when my current pair are done as long as the durability is not too terrible. Pros they are insanely soft you can feel everything , really good at smearing and walking on volumes . Quite comfy and a good fit for my foot atleast . They are also very light and just generally fun to climb in . Cons kinda shit at edging but tbh you would only ever use these on the gym and the feet are not small enough for it to matter that much . With how little rubber there is it's possible to burn through them quite fast . That said mine are holding up fine but I will see how they are in a couple months time. Also slippers are not for everyone and for one to work fit is so important. I wouldn't buy a climbing shoe without trying it on first but doubly so for a slipper.

@nichtsistkostenlos6565 Год назад

You know, you can flash the whole gym without ever touching the walls. You just might get arrested, though.

@FullumMusic Год назад

Never realized there were proper "Route Setting Gloves." I've often wondered about Wide Receiver Gloves that American Football players use. They're form fitting and designed to "stick" to the football when they catch, without being an actual sticky substance, and not have your hands move around the inside. Sometimes around NYC i'll see a cool little structure or wall or beam or something and think, "I could climb that, but i'm NOT touching it. Eww." I think Wide Receiver gloves could be the answer, but i haven't tried them yet.
