Casually Explained: Rock Climbing 

Man just bursts out of nowhere and starts talking about rock climbing. Truly the youtuber of all time

Being gone for a year and then coming back to talk about rock climbing is the most RU-vidr thing ever

Me and my friends have a rule of thumb, “the more homeless they look the better they are at climbing” same goes for skating

he literally hasn't made a video in so long that his voice has gotten noticeably deeper from aging

This guy spent a year actually rock climbing so he can give us the best explanation. Truly dedicated.

you can tell that he's been rock climbing this entire year, some of the little details were simply too spot-on

Like a true introvert he just shows up after about 63 weeks of no contact to talk about some random subject

I was laughing so hard all throughout but that 'synergy of yoga pants and harness' had me dead because it's so true

Seeing him dissapear for one year just to come back to recap on the most hilarious climbing facts is truely one of the best self explainations of what he was doing the last months.

Best Casually Explained video in at least a year

The most awkward part of gym climbing is inevitable question, “Which college do you go to?” … “I’m a construction worker” and the looks that follow.

Too anxious to ask for help, much easier and less stressful to just risk death. Completely ridiculous, and yet so relatable. 😂

As someone who has been rock climbing for about 9 years, watching such a quality explanation video about climbing is clearly aid

“Long nails means her day will be ruined, short nails means she’s a thoughtful lesbian” I died laughing 😂

I love how this man can just sell you the entire community in a 7 minute video

"Having a friend to go climbing with is clearly aid" I love it.

Man, you just appeard, barely explained what happened and started talking about rock climbing in 10 seconds, the best youtuber of all

Props to him for doing rock climbing for an entire year just to educate us

The thing most people really don't know until they get into it, is that climbing is a very inclusive sport. Everyone is inviting and encouraging, and generally willing to belay you.

As a rock climber, this video is literal perfection

"unsolicited yet polite encouragement" is one of the best parts of climbing

He’s been gone so long because he was becoming a pro rock climber

I like to imagine the real reason for the hiatus is that jamie is now above a 7 due to rock climbing, and hasn’t been able to come up with as much self deprecating humor as he used to.

I truly believe there is a perfect gaussian relationship between climbing skill and the amount of climbing branded clothing someone wears, centred perfectly on a patagonia P-6 and a pair of prAnas/BD Notions. The absolute beasts at any gym are the ones who turn up in pyjama bottoms.

As a rock climber, this is the most accurate assessment of the sport ever

He took a year away from uploading to research rocks to deliver this masterpiece. This is why he’s the best RU-vidr

This just killed me 😂. Being a climber and listening to this is so true it hurts.. I’m going to cut one of my arms off so I’m not considered an aid climber…

I tried those rock climbing walls (0:31) that are without safety rope. When I got high enough to get tired, I wanted to jump on the mats but the moment I looked down I understood what it's like to be a cat that stuck on the tree. Because as it turns out I have the fear of falling. What an experience it was xD

Been a climber for a few years. I was cackling about how spot on all of this was. Pure class, 11/10 beanies

as a rock climber I have never seen a more accurate description of the sport, 10/10 good job

Loved seeing the crude yet wildly accurate drawing of Discovery Coffee's outside patio, all the little Victoria references always fill my heart with joy. Big fan of your stuff man!

How you managed to avoid doing even one Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson joke is a display of self discipline that you really only find in rock climbers.

Man spent over a year making this video about rock climbing. Truly a rock climber of all time.

He's back when no one expected it.

As a person who has been climbing for two years, all of this shit was spot on. Even the beanie one since I’m also a snowboarder but I definitely prefer my climbing beanie over any beanie.

thank fuck, good to know you're alive and well. was worried I'd never get to see another casually explained video ever again

I remember thinking, “Rock climbing seems like a fun and affordable way to stay in shape.” I looked at the price of gyms, and I’ve never looked back…at considering rocking climbing.

It's been years since I watched your first videos and came across this. It's a relief to know that not only have you not changed your formula, but it hasn't gotten old. If anything, it's aged like a fine wine. Ye.

The quick pace of this beautiful monologue is part of the comedy. And ive learned to try VERY hard not to laugh out loud for fear of missing the next best rapid fire joke. Long time subscriber whose been growing up with Causally Explained ❤

You're like that favorite relative that no one keeps track of, but appears out of nowhere, and everyone wants to talk too.

Using the Honnold casually eating a bell pepper raw as the illustration image for him, and "avoiding responsability" with him trying to figure out his fridge is top tier 👌

as someone who goes rock climbing, i am happy to see his first video in ages is about rock climbing.

Just started climbing about 5 months ago. Happy to know casually explained is also practicing this beautiful sport.

absolutely love this lol. I actually recently canceled my climbing membership, partly because of the outrageous cost but also because it's clearly aid to go to a gym to train

How iconic can you be to be gone a year and come back randomly on a Wednesday at 9am. Only the biggest of legends can achieve such feats

Holy shit, welcome back! I discovered this channel during a dark time in my career last year and these vids really helped. Was sad when I suddenly had none left!

This is the comedy I needed! Thank you for coming back and if your “project” is what I think it could be….congrats? Maybe? Idk but still congrats!

The nail joke was gold. Gonna have to tell my wife she’s now a “thoughtful lesbian.” Great to see you back Casul.

As someone who has been bouldering his whole life, this video is just amazig, you got literally every dumb aspect of our sport right, nice work😂

So many times I wanted to smack the like button, but realized that I already had! Great video! As a bouldering guy living in PNW, you absolutely killed me with the spot-on stereotyping 💀

This is actually such a good explanation of the sport in such a short amount of time

I’m an ice climbing instructor- the part about everyone doing it once just to say they have is spot on

Finally… after 10000 years he has returned

The bit abt projecting a V3 is hilarious though because I am hard stuck on them

Happy to see you back and you freaking nailed this…

Bro came a year later, just straight up apologized, said he's done some work and got more content to upload and went straight into the video Casually Explained truly is the Content Creator of all time

man is back after a year and immediatly goes to talking about rock climbing...legend

The speed climbing darts joke broke me 🤣🤣🤣, I need a reboot. This was outstanding, 11/10

Glad to see you back. You were missed. Glad you reconnected with your muse.

After a year of rock climbing,he decided to do a RU-vid video on it,what a legend

love that this guy always posts a video right before we completely forget about his existence

I hope you and Sam o Nella alternate uploading. Sam uploads, waits 5 months, you upload, and Sam uploads.

I've been getting super into rock climbing recently and this is just gas. Thank you

No way bro, this is insane. I have been watching your content for the longest time and recently, like couple of days ago, I was thinking about where you have gone. Also like a fucking miracle I started climbing a couple months ago and it has consumed my life and become my passion. And now you show up again and talk about climbing? That's just perfect. I love you bro, your content is so so good. Thank you and keep up the good work! You are the Goat.

When the world was at his lowest he returned.

Bro you’re back!!!!! I’ve missed your channel so much

When the world needed him most, he was a sarcastic a$$, and we love him for it

The fact that you still release good content after a year break is clearly aid

You can't deny Casually Explained dedicating to making the most random, high quality videos on RU-vid

Its because of this video i won first place in a bouldering competition (male intermediate category) I watched this video when i was in a severe depression and contemplated suicide every day. And because of this video i looked up rock climbing gyms near me and decided to go to this smallish local gym only a few miles from my house. 6 months later and Im standing on a podium for first place. For a few seconds I felt like the protagonist. I was doubting i would win all day, as the hours passed and more groups climed in the comp I felt I was going to be lucky to get even third place. I had even beaten someone who i had admired when i was a bit newer to climbing. I thought they were soo good and I was soo bad, i wanted to be as good as them so much. Fast foward a few months and im first and they aren't even on the podium. I went from a noob to a near v6 climber in 6 months

Your humor is just gold. Plz keep sharing it with the world!

I've literally been getting into watching rock climbing and this man comes back with a video with jokes I only would have gotten as of a week ago, what a legend.

"Ice climbing is where the climbers press up B and throw each other 15 feet above each other until they summit" Best line in the video

i missed your video! Welcome back!

I cannot begin to explain how accurate all this was. Amazing job 👏🏼

6:01 "big beanie means snowboarder, normal beanie means climber, and tiny beanie means skateboarder" He just cracked the code

Great video and glad you are back!

Missed you dude glad you're back :)

“…to suggest you could out-climb them even if you were a paraplegic” had me dying

Man decided to get into the most dangerous sport in the world, to avoid the danger of mild social anxiety. Truly, an introvert legend.

As someone who just tried rock climbing for the first time literally yesterday, this is entirely true, especially 5:53, since the dude who was running the gym looked exactly like this

Yes this man has indeed spent the last few months at a climbing gym

"Indoor low-ascent free soloing" LMAO

"I can fix him." had me giggling and rewinding for two minutes

The first date I ever went on after HS was to a climbing gym, it was terrible. I mean, I had a great time climbing walls for 3 hours but there was literally zero time for the two of us to actually talk or get to know each other in any way other than "oh, looks like they can also climb rocks for 3 hours." There wasn't a second date. (Also the date location wasn't my idea)

I'm a rock climber and loved this video, all the terms were spot on and hilariously implemented!

Thank you Jamie for coming back, can’t wait to see the next video 😃

The dress code section is the most succinct description and scathing critique in one that I have ever heard. Sooo good and sooo funny.

smiled the entire time i watched this, can't wait to send this to my rock-climbing friend(s)

Very informational, very witty. 👍🏼 Welcome back, Casually!!!

He’s right about aid. Recently I’ve had to come to terms with not being paralyzed and knowing I’ve been cheating the whole time.

As a rock climber, there could be no better comeback video. Masterpiece.

Finally, I've been waiting for a long time. Welcome back!)

This explains it pretty perfectly lmao, I work at a climbing gym and the overly friendly 30 year old is so true lmao

No, I refuse to watch this. He's just going to leave us again and we won't hear from him again. I just... I just can't get hurt again.

He spent the past 2 years laboring over this video, truly the creator we deserve.

Man didn’t mention that even if you give your best and compete at the top level where climbing is your life , YOU will never surpass ADAM ONDRA

1 million views in 20 hours? We clearly miss you, Casually Explained ❤

the “I can fix him” joke really got me. lol

perfection, especially talking about the tape
