I can't tell if you have the best hidden cameras in climbing or if Saul made you redo all those grabs for the action shots. That's worth bonus points imo

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

That there is a trade secret

@staticoverplastic7456 Год назад

i was wondering the same thing! seems like it's retakes, which is a lot more work, respect!

Note for the Editor: if you stop the music, the viewer knows he is going to drop. Maybe add parts (or just one part) where you stop the music but he keeps going and topping the boulder. Like a fake out to keep the viewers on their toes ;)

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Thank you for the feedback!

@porteurliste 10 месяцев назад

Am I the only one frantically muting and unmuting to hear them talk but to not have to hear music I didn't chose for?

@althejazzman Год назад

I love the way this centre makes the awkward parts of the building into features for climbing holds.

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Gotta make the most of the space!

@TheNitram8 Год назад

Ahhhh brand new holds! A treat for the eyes, a gift for the hands and a premature death for the skin.

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

They were honestly brutal

@chrisembryclimbing Год назад

Point Scorer on steroids. This is an epic challenge and great camera work, Sol. The ending was awesome, Sol eating a pastry...."How many am I on?" after Louis had done push-ups, Sol's response, "Umm, Three." with a perfectly straight face. Just....yes. Just noticed Louis' comments in the beginning. "Sol might be doing hundreds of push-ups." Foreshadowing. Congrats on the commentators curse Sol.

@Uucyfer Год назад

Thought that was gold too. 😂

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Thank yoooou!

@Ruinari Год назад

Always quality content. Minor counting mistakes aside, still seems like a fine way to spend a day.

@Saariie7 Год назад

When you explained the rules and guessed 1000 points I already knew it was almost impossible :D

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

We like a hard challenge!

@thomasgrady3103 8 месяцев назад

this is my home gym and seeing louis smash all of the purples like it's a regular sunday really puts into perspective how much i suck... lol

@luxlucetq Год назад

Louis, this latest look has to stay! Looking amazing man!

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Thank you Sam!

@SteedyBoy Год назад

Looking forward to climbing in London within the new year these gyms look huge, has anyone from Catalyst or out of Cambridge climbed in Cambridge kelsey keridge its small but great boulders, nice challenges , these videos help so much 😀

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Haven't climbed there but we will have to check it out! Glad you are enjoying the videos!

@sarahslife6781 Год назад

No to the moustache! Awesome video though 😄👏🏻

@rusk3986 Год назад

I look forward to the 130 push-up RU-vid short

@Ian_climbs Год назад

Love the camera angles! I’m trying to do that with my own videos but holy they’re tricky 😂. Redoing something you almost fell off is hard lol

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

It really is tricky especially if you are dont it yourself!

@althejazzman Год назад

Louis at the end "How many am I on now?" Sol "Err like three?"

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Was more preoccupied by the pastry...

@nicksohacki7114 Год назад

great camera work!

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Thank you Nick!

@MeehanSax Год назад

those are some really nice looking holds, far better than my gym

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

They have a great selection!

@salehbaghersalimi6008 Год назад

This place definitely needs more lights

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

They are still working on it!

@zacharylaschober Год назад

Need to give yourself more of a chance to actually finish that challenge, second attempts being worth half points but not losing a life if successful or something.

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Ahh we like impossible seeming challenges though!

@fraz_the_mediocre Год назад

Someone needs schooling at maths, that's for sure. 😂

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Hes doing his times tables right now

@RobDHamilton Год назад

Louis, how stiff soled are your climbing shoes, or do you have really good strength in your feet?

@rimmelewood2637 Год назад

IIRC, he actually prefers very soft shoes. He's just wicked strong

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

The Mantras are super soft shoes!

@wadball Год назад

I don't care they messed up counting, it means more climbs for us to watch!

@mj6582 Год назад

Please guys the maths were quite terrible 😂 need to write things down as you go. Good job tho and great gym, looks awesome

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

We did write it down! Was just we maaay have missed writing down 3 attempts 🙃

@ciara6071 Год назад

Nice❤

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Thank you!

@ATXFootball2112 Год назад

New climber here. My biceps hurt so bad after climbing. I stretch and take rest days but it's not helping. Tips???

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Our main suggestion would be to go and see a physiotherapist!

@RM-yty767 Год назад

same thing happened to me brah. eccentric curls, ice, and compression saved me.

@abelee9324 Год назад

Can u climb with magnus?? Plzzz

@Hypericus2 Год назад

Maybe need bonus points for climbing down on same route.

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

We would say not doing the press ups is bonus enough!

@wobbegong7436 Год назад

I see you at coaching at yonder a lot

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Yes thats one of the gyms we coach at!

@rixdalerheptads1505 Год назад

Are you telling me there are still new gyms opening using hold color for the grading system?

@babsds0 Год назад

Depends where you are maybe but the majority of London gyms still grade by colour. Tbh I think it can work quite well depeding on the hold sets used.

@zennydoo Год назад

Every gym I've been to in Australia has this system, usually they'll have some sort of "wildcard" system or colour just to shake things up.

@theChoffa Год назад

Seems a bit limiting to the setters... The gym I go to also uses a colour system, but with tape indicating the start holds. The downside is that it makes it harder to point out climbs; "the yellow red one" or "the green blue one" isn't very helpful when both colours could be the grade or the holds 😅

@a-l-89 Год назад

glad I'm not the only that calls pink holds purple

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Its easily done!

@marcofergo8935 Год назад

Great video but I’m still confused 🤪

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

@LetsTryVlogging365 Год назад

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

@kylestephens25 Год назад

I think you owe us 50 push-ups

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Dont worry, we will get Louis back next time

@flamebeard10339 Год назад

It think it would be better if you followed 2,4,8,16... points but fun game

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

But 1000 points seems much more dramatic 😉

@flamebeard10339 Год назад

@@CatalystClimbing Sure, just do 20, 40, 80... but V7s are much harder than v5s and should be awarded points accordingly.

@PfropfNo1 Год назад

I thought it’s a Boulder game at the start but turns out to be more of a math game 😄

@burnsbabe87 Год назад

Me @ 2:46: Are colors different in the UK? I mean, they're "colours", yeah. But are the names different?

@zennydoo Год назад

Grey and Gray are two different colours.

@gball8466 Год назад

I may be in the minority, but the guitar music is ubiquitous across RU-vid and really cheesy. I hope it gets replaced by something better soon.

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Thank you for the feedback

@austin316taker150 Год назад

Can't count during the climbing, odds of being able to count pushups?

@Ben-ew3hv Год назад

So many bouldering gyms opening, so few sport climbing walls 😔

@Crazyoldman84 Год назад

Bouldering is best

@CatalystClimbing Год назад

Unfortunately a good portion is to do with the size of buildings available, especially in the city its difficult to have buildings tall enough to hold top rope/lead walls inside

@@CatalystClimbing The walls look about 4 meters tall max, and the setting looks like a bland mix between old school and comp style. If I had to guess its owned and operated by business men with no climbing experience.
