Your commentary on Aidan's thoughts were a nice summary of the difficulty while respecting his focus on the climb and not the grade. Great video all around!
Hi, Michael! Thank you, I appreciate that 👍🏻👍🏻 It’s been interesting to see Aidan share about these climbs in a way that feels right to him. He strikes me as a very thoughtful guy who cares about all the aspects and experiences that climbing has to offer (not just grades). I appreciate that he does give his opinion on the grades though, even if just an initial assessment. It’ll be cool to see where these two new boulder problems land in the future! Thanks so much for your comment!
new August video?? i guess it is time for a coffee break :D me and Maria met Jernej Kruder back in December 2023! He was so nice and talked to us for 20 minutes, he was route setting for a local comp and it was such a cool experience, defenitely an absolute icon! also, i believe that Babsi Zangerl who did the crack FFA from the beginning of the video, and Bernd Zangerl who did the FA of Maichii's boulder send, are a couple from Tyrol, Austria! :D thanks for another super entertaining and inspiring video! :)
Hey, Thomas! I love it… I’m honored to be part of your coffee break 😄 That’s so cool that you guys met Jernej Kruder… he sounds like a really nice guy!! And yes, that Austria connection with the Babsi and Bernd is awesome. Bernd has been developing bouldering in the Himalayas for quite some time now from what I understand. These places like Rakchham are going to become well known bouldering destinations in the years to come. There are so many possibilities for FAs of easy and hard climbs. I hope to check out some of these areas in person the next time I’m in India! Thanks as always for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey, Jack! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for the heads up regarding the name pronunciation. That makes sense. I guess it’s a bit like how you’d say Janja 😄
