Kajsa Fighting Her Fears - Lead Climbing - 1 Year In The Making 

moar lead climbing! looks epic when you are able to follow the climber all the way up!

This was one of my favorite episodes yet. Not because I like lead climbing so much but because of the story telling and raw emotion. You can’t force this but when it does happen it’s really special. Great work and happy for Kajsa :)

Man she is strong.

PLEASE, MORE LEAD CLIMBING!!! Where I'm from my gym does not have a very big bouldering section and it is nice to see indoor lead climbing apposed to outdoor because not everyone gets the opportunity to go outside and can only climb indoors. Love the vids guys and wish I could climb in such an awesome gym like yours!!

12:01 so important that she fell there, like she said after. it was an important step to do for her mental game. therefore absolute repsect to her

Definitely more lead climbing!!

I don’t usually comment on RU-vid videos, but this was one of my favorite episodes on this channel, and Ive watched all of your videos! Love the storytelling in this one

I can really relate. I've had acrophobia since I was very young. I did bouldering for years, and still wasn't over it. Once I started climbing with auto-belays on a 32 feet wall I finally started feeling comfortable with the height, and that ended up making a huge difference in my bouldering. I didn't realize until the fear was gone how much it was holding me back even just a few feet off the ground and indoors.

Alright Eric, you can blame Emil for this one for that outro, because I'll hold you guys up on this. More lead climbing would be awesome... From BOTH of you ;) And, well, the other crewmembers as well of course :D

I was wondering where she's been! She's looking strong!

I love seeing Kajsa climb, great video as usual.

This is cool because i'm so afraid of heights when climbing but it's awesome watching her push through the fear, plus she's just so chill and fun

This was actually quite emotional. Much more than just climbing going on here and it had me almost crying... Thanks for the inspiration Kajsa and Eric!

im surprised she is that scared of falling. she didt show any fear at all at the nordic lead championship witch she won with a spectacular climb on november 24 2018 :) plz give us more lead climbing vids, just a litte bit :)

YES! Amazinggggg! So glad you're back Kajsa, we missed you

I love watching Kajsa climb, she is so methodical and precise with every movement, not to mention strong as hell! Would love to see you guys do more lead climbing for sure

Eric! The emotional tone and narrative of this video really comes to life with your shot pacing and music selection, I really love this one. Would love to see you guys do more lead climbing vids as well. Now excuse me, I think I'm going to go climbing

One of favorite episodes because I can relate so well. Lead climbing requires such strong mental game, something that I work on every time I do routes, and it's nice to see a professional climber like Kajsa faces the same fears that the rest of us face.

Such a cool way to film the climb. Never really seen lead from that kinda perspective before. Always thought they should cover lead world cups with techno crains

Absolutely loved this style of episode dudes, even having a story arc of kajsa battling with herself and the redemption of committing to the move, it's like a new level for the vids and I've watched every one since you started !!!! First time I felt compelled to comment to let you know but I loved this video.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you're covering the 'mental game' of lead climbing. Great video!

She's really strong - makes this 8a look kind of easy :0

So good! Being a woman I really appreciate when you have ladies in the videos! You guys are great in all but I can learn more from watching them. Kajsa is such a beautiful powerful climber! I’m working on healing a shoulder injury so this is encouraging 💕

Everything about this video was on point! Kajsa lead climbing, excellent choice of music, editing, good length (10-15 min), and so on... MORE!

I am such a kajsa fan! I had shoulder surgery 5yrs ago, and i'm just now being able to climb again, so i'm happy to see Kajsa back. Also i would love to see more lead climbing with eric, emil, tor, mikken, norea, and of course Kajsa.

This was a growth video with her emotions and her way of working hard. One of the best videos in a while

The Holy Trinity: Eric Karlsson video, Kajsa, lead climbing 😍😍😍

Your lead videos are fantastic, the camerawork is brilliant and the climbing is always superb. Great to see Kajsa back, she is incredible!

Kajsa is such a world class climber, its great to see her do longer routes, we can learn so much from her! Glad she is injury free!

Wow, really great lead climbing footage: you always hit the angles and the zoom factor just right. Happy to have Kajsa back ;-)

We miss Kajsa! Hope she's doing alright.

She is hands down one of my favorite climbers. Hope to see alot more of her on your channel, and i hope she has a full recovery.

I love everything about this video! Kajsa is fantastic. It's great to have her back and the music choice is on point, but what I love most about this video is how authentic it is. It feels so genuine to watch Kajsa openly and honestly work through her fears. It's a struggle almost all of us can personally relate to. Thanks for creating and sharing this awesome content!

I was thinking just the other day that it would be nice to see more of Kajsa on your channel. And baam there she is. How did that happen I don't know, but cannot complain really, good video. And generally I like lead climbing videos you've done recently, but just as much I enjoy bouldering and brushing Tor and stuff. So yea just keep it all coming for sure!

Kajsa is an artist of motion. Amazing to see. And the production of this episode was amazing too. So, ten out of ten!

I love lead videos :) i really enjoyed Eric leading in magnus’ video, it would be cool to see some more of that ☺️

you guys push so many of us to train hard and we love climbing, you inspire us. MORE LEAD

Nice video. It is so nice to watch her climb! She has such a nice cool flow!

More lead climbing!!!! Was sooooo stoked when i saw the title, and more Kajsa as well!

I would love more lead climbing videos! I also haven't commented on a video in 10+ years, but I loved this one.

Kajsa is my favorite by far. She's such an inspiration.

It's very nice to see Kajsa back. If you are reading...Great job Kajsa! I had dislocated and mangled a great deal of tissue in my shoulder this past fall and had recently decided to hit the wall again. I empathize with the difficulties and absolute frustration in overcoming the mental limitations that come after a serious injury. It is very inspiring to see you commit through the uncertainty and take the fall. I certainly hope that we get to see more videos of you continuing to exhibit the great courage you have shown us in this video. You're amazing!

It's really good to see you again Kajsa! Eric's channel retrieve another brave one again! thank you for epic video. got some motivation!

Yayyy Kajsa! Yes I would love to see more lead climbing videos! Really enjoyed it!

Great to see kajsa back and climbing so strong. An inspiration to any climber who has had time away from the sport due to injury / surgery.

the two legends with the first comments! Tanner still got first again!

Welcome back, Kajsa! Been waiting for you to appear in Eric's videos again, you're such an inspiration!

She's super awesome 😍😍

Welcome back Kajsa!!!! Love to see you up in the wall again. And Eric and Emil, keep hitting us with some lead. I love this kind of videos where we get to see all the moves on a long rute from so close

As always, stunned by Kajsa's way of climbing, so precise and technical that it is easy to forget how hard the route actually is. Looking forward for the next time !

This is a very special story to tell and awesome to catch on video. It meant a lot to my wife to see such an epic post-surgery triumph. Fear can be a specific beast and I am glad that Kajsa stepped into the ring to fight it!! :)

Absolutely loved this video! So inspiring to see Kajsa lead climb. She is right, climbing is totally a mental game but it was so great to see her overcome it 💪 100% more lead climbing videos please!

I saw Kajsa win the Nordic lead championships in Århus a couple of moths ago, her mental game seamed strong for the final route.

Loved this video! So inspiring. Yes, more lead climbs please, and more women lead climbers too. This video inspired to climb harder & be braver!

Amazing footage, great shots! My heart skipped a beat when Kajsa slipped off the jug. Absolutely loved her at first sight!. And also, yes i do want to se Eric more often.

Love the way she uses her feet and footwork. So good.

Yaay Kajsa is back! I love watching her climb, she's just so strong and so on point. I also really liked to see a lead climbing video, and would love to see more in the future. I don't really do bouldering, because I'm too scared of injuries (I have weak ankles ok), but I'm trying to get better at lead so it's really cool to see some videos on that. Also it'd be interesting to see what climbers that usually specialize in bouldering can do on the lead wall, and what they think is the same and what is different for them. Great work on the video as always!

Would love to see more of kajsa, her passion is fierce and she's so great to watch!

Music is on point in this one!

Woot! Psyched to see Kajsa again! That opening was great too! I’ve really enjoyed seeing the evolution and progression of your editing skills, as well as how far your videos have come Eric! (And crew) keep up the great work guys! 😁

I really love this video, thank you so much for your honesty! I have the same problem with fear of falling when lead climbing, so it is SO comforting to see that I am not the only one and that even the most amazing climbers face this fear! Thank you so much!

your leadclimbing stuff is at least as high quality as your bouldering videos, Eric! I'm super impressed with your elevator filming skills! top notch!

I know leading climbing takes a lot of work to film it. So you deserve two likes at least in a row 😊

best vid in one year ;) ... nice to see her again

I relate so much!!! I have so many fears about lead climbing based on unfounded fears like that and its nice to see I am not the only one who fears lead climbing like this.

I love these type of videos, I don't know why, but the atmosphere, the music and diving into the psyche of a really strong climber is really interesting. Definitely shows another side of our sport. Lead climbing videos would be dope!

I love this episode. To see the real emotion and understand it’s okay to be nervous! Totally agree that climbing is about mental game ❤️

its awesome seeing Kajsa climbing. and as little as we get to see lead climbing, i would say more more more

Brave and remarkable climbs, Kajsa! Confronting fears is one thing, but doing it when you know you’re being recorded, and letting others see you do it, is even more impressive. It was great to see that even with immense talent and physical training, having to battle your mind is still part of it. The frustration felt familiar to me, a climber who’s still learning. Awesome work.

more lead climbing please!! Also, this was definitely one of your best videos. Something about it just came across as so real and relatable.

Can we also appriciate how good her belayer was ? :) Also really strong work from her + nice editing, liked it. Btw a friend of mine started studying in stockholm, maybe he will visit u guys :) !

More lead climbing please and well done kajsa for doing that.

Kajsa is so lovely! So well made video! thank you Eric for your work! :) You give a lot of good moments to people!

Love watching you guys lead, helps motivate me to go out and push myself while I'm leading!

I found this video super inspirational, I really struggle when climbing on lead and am often even afraid even when I am climbing a route that I would normally warm up on (several grades under my red point), it really helps to see such a crusher like Kajsa with the same struggles as I have to overcome her fears

Kajsa is such an inspiration, so good to see her back in a video again.

Great vid, Kajsa is always great to have + thanks extra effort for the lead! I would have loved to see Kajsa getting back from injury (kinda documenting her progress).

well done guys!!! Thanks so much for the content. Yes! Definitely more Lead videos please!

More lead climbing! Nikken trying the 8b was how I discovered the channel wayyyy back in the day.

I've somewhere along the way lost my calm lead head and it's really nice to see that even beastly climbers like Kajsa have fear. This video perfectly demonstrates climbing is as much mental as it is physical. Super awesome that she made herself commit and go for it even if it meant taking a swingy lead fall.

This is crazy, I literally just re-watched her climbing in finals at the IFSC world cup in Briancon circa 2016. RU-vid is reading my mind!

Definitely more lead climbing videos. That would be awesome.

I really like the lead climbing videos and wouldn’t mind seeing more of them. Especially if we get to see Eric climb more. Also welcome back Kajsa!

Very interesting to see the climbing style. Mind-game... yes it is, but also very physical. I like to see Kajsa climbing! .

Great video Eric (well, another one .... not surprised). Kajsa looks stronger, technical and matured. Loved watching her climb. Thanks for sharing ;)

More lead climbing videos would be awesome, your style of videos paired with lead climbing is something I would love to see more of on RU-vid :)

You are my favorite climber Kajsa, I can't wait to see more from you!

Not only a great climber, but I'm also very impressed by how honest she is about her progress. A very tough and independant individual.

I always love your lead climbing videos. The series on "the project" was what first drew me to the channel.

Kajsa so strong!! Really nice video, with the story and talk between. Nice with lead climbing as well. I just want every video possible from you guys lol :)

Great video!! One of my favorites for sure. More lead climbing would be awesome.

this girl is a BEAST! Congrats on the commitment...More lead please

Great video! I love Kajsa style of climbing! Beautiful technique.

It's always a pleasure watching her. Her technique is amazing.

Really awesome footage of the lead climbing!! She was so strong!

I'd love to see more lead climbing guys, keep up the good work!

Such a nice style of climbing and a lovely gril. Would like to see more of her

I agree with most of the comments so far. Great to see Kajsa back at it again. Also agree that I am not apposed to more non-bouldering stuff as well as outdoor, once the weather permits it again. Unless, are you going back to South Africa Eric? Rocklands maybe?

More please! My palms got so sweaty watching!

so much love for Kajsa
