How To Go Outdoor Bouldering | Climbing Daily Ep.1650 

Tl;dr: Buy local guide books, they support the development of new areas. When you buy a guide book for a particular area, you support the development of new bouldering areas. A sort of acknowledgement to the people who have used a lot of time and money for you to be able to just come and climb as you do indoors. Climbing outdoors is way cheaper than climbing indoors anyway, so don't be greedy. :))

You forgot to mention, when possible start one move lower than the proper climb that way you can give it a new name and grade and get some first ascents 😂😂😂

Matt: Climbing shoes are obviously a necessity Me: *Stares in Charles Albert*

lol when you venture outside for the first time and your grade drops from 7a to 4a...

With my gym closed for who knows how long I think I'm finally ready to try outdoor bouldering to get my climbing fix. This is perfectly timed.

Thank you for your contributions to educate the growing climbing community 👊. Important stuff

Disappointed at the lack of discussion of wet rock, specifically not to climb on wet sandstone.

Hey epic TV, along with this intro to outdoor bouldering can you please cover some basic climbing etiquette as well as social distancing practices since a lot of new climbers are going outside and overcrowding popular crags. Things like stick to 2-3 people max at a problem, sharing boulders, reduced music, cleaning up after yourself properly and maybe exploring less popular crags. Here in Sydney, Australia we have a fair bit of bouldering and it seems there are a lot of people going outdoors due to closed gyms and these new people are very inexperienced and do not understand the pressure they are putting on outdoor climbing in the community. Since this is a popular channel a video from you might go a long way.

My climbing gym just opened back up stoked to be back climbing!

This video is fantastic, as I'm sure a lot of people are forced to try outdoor bouldering now when gyms are closed. Thanks for putting it together!

I love outdoor bouldering! It's way more nerve racking but the gratification is much higher. I just finished off me V6 highball project today!!

I'm a very reluctant boulder'er (never do it in the gym) but times are tough and just this week went outside to some areas in Boulder, Colorado where I live. Fun! Good advice in the video - thanks!

How to go outdoor bouldering.... Step 1. Remortgage your house

This is fantastic information, I’m brand new, never climbed in my life and this is very useful thank you, I found a crag close to me and was going to try it but I have nothing that I need to do so

If I'm bouldering in a new area, I would like to flash a problem as quickly as possible. Nobody cares about onsighting in bouldering. Therefore, I would appreciate if everybody left copious tick marks, ideally with the thickness indicating the size of the hold. Go watch Mellow videos, you'll see how much a boulder should be ticked. \end{joke}

You should make more videos with Teresa! Maybe have her do some explanations!

I Ordered that Black diamond mat yesterday, it is my first mat so I was glad to hear a recommendation for it 😀

You forgot to tell people that outdoor grades are made to batter your indoor grading ego. First time I went outdoor bouldering I was already doing V3 v4s indoors and I struggled on my first V0 outdoor climb. Brought me back to earth.

I started in EB's back in 1977...honestly I cant stop laughing at the title of this episode...definitely no brushes on poles or pads...I am 59 years old and Love Your Channel...Lmfao..😁🌄

Great video! I was just putting out a worse video on the same topic when I saw yours... good to see how the pros do it 😁

Downloaded the app on your recommendation! Surprising how many boulders are actually near me!

I was super humbled by outdoor grades the first time I bouldered outside.

also, pad placement. once you get a little height, you’re not going to spit off straight down nicely onto the pads underneath you. you’re going to instinctively push off of the wall and get much more distance backwards from it than you’d think. especially when you’re mantling or on vertical/slab problems

The Netherlands has no outside boulders unfortunately, we're way too flat haha. But, some gyms have build an outside gym past 2 weeks and this week finally we were able to climb again. Still jealous of those in countries with rock though :)

Imagine spending 400 quid on a bouldering mat

11min comercial tnx epic tv SHOP

is it strange that I don't feel the need to use chalk . Also some of the metoleus crash pads have a built in carpet in the center

How do you like the new boosters Matt? Did you ever use the Booster S or OG Booster to compare them?

I’ve been climbing indoors for a couple of years and been climbing outdoors a few times but I still don’t know if on outdoor routes there is only certain footholds you’re allowed to use. I don’t want to ask someone because it’s snobby enough and I don’t want to be called a Gumby

The only equipment really needed for bouldering is boulders.

Here in Israel climbing gyms have reopened

What’s up with your customer service? I ordered climbing shoes almost two weeks ago and no update on dhl further than label created and customer service has been unresponsive

Can't find a link to the spotter. Would like to pick her up

I wanna climb so bad I'll even take a polished slab

the outdoor mats are so expensive how many do you need in general

Sound only working on the left...

Hey! Your spotter wasn’t a safe 6feet away!

in some parts of Germany the gyms are now back open :)

Did I just watch 12 minutes of an ad?

anyone know if we can climb in the uk yet?

Half this is add for gear lol

Teresa

wow, no mention of mountainproject. instead it says to pay for their service while most likely all of the areas are on the mountainproj for free. video doesnt encourage outdoor climbing, it encourages paying out of your pocket for every possible aspect of bouldering.Get a pad, go climb some easy problems you find locally on the mountainproject. that only costs the price of the pad and you most-likely already own shoes.

$$

funao

How to go outdoor bouldering? -don't

Social distancing is still in effect. The spotter should be someone you live with until this pandemic is over. There is no point to wearing a mask if you're going to stand too close to and touch each other. Also you can't share the boulder or jump on one recently climbed by others. Be aware also that it's hard to climb outside without getting scratches that break the skin, and that can become a point of entry for bacteria an viruses.

Am I the only one that thinks it is irresponsible to tell new climbers who have never climbed outdoors before to head to the crag, obviously without any experienced climber to help them because of social distancing, and with the health systems already under pressure and mountain rescue in some countries begging people to please stop taking risks?

Reality never hit me harder than my first time transitioning from the gym to outdoor Bouldering
