Slabs are fun! 😜 Sean Villanueva enjoing Slabducation Episode #1 

It would be super cool if you made a real slab-ducation video of tips, techniques and things you’ve learnt after climbing so many slabs.

A very long time ago, i.e. around 1977 when I started climbing and the only climbing shoes were the original EBs, slab climb grading was easy: If the route was 5.11 or harder, then by definition it should not be possible to stand still, your foot would be slowly sliding downhill. I bolted a new route at Fosen (the community south of Flatanger) in 1981, just the two bolts absolutely required to link together two crack systems, I fell twice on the crux about 5m above the second bolt before I did the first ascent. When the Boreal Fire turned up with Formula 1 rubber a lot of impossible slabs suddenly became climbable, and my Andromeda which linked together Himmelstigen ("Stairway to Heaven") and Melkeveien ("The Milky Way") started getting a lot more repeats. 🙂

Feels good to see strong climbers having fun, top roping, chilling out, and not screaming of pain at every move... :) Gracias por eso momento :)

It is very refreshing to see people celebrating the art, beauty and anxiety provoking activity we know as slab climbing!! Awesome and entertaining video Talo!! Saludos desde Curacao 🧗‍♀🧗‍♂🧗

Brilliant. Loved it!

Sweet video. Slab climbing deserves more love

I come back to this video every few months. It s just a feel good moment for me

dope, I suscribed after the trailler (3 years ago!), happy to see that it was not only a trailler! all the best, slab for ever!

Get well soon Sean! Forza! What a beautiful day with Talo in Pedriza.

Loved the jam session ! Videos with Sean are always a treat

Sean is a really crazy guy. I've been a fan since Patagonia Dreams. Big hug from Brazil!

Woo! I’ve been waiting three years for this. Thank you and see you in La Pedriza some time.

Slab is fab!

I fucked my ankle up too about 9 months ago and I still too continue to climb! Got two screws and a plate and I am not gonna lie somedays it gets me down but its awesome to know there are others out there that feel the struggle!

We have some serious glass granite slab up here in Northern Cali but that looks REALLY hard! Props for singing "Clandestino"

Que buen rollo de vídeo Talo! Joder, estas igual que como te recuerdo de aquellos años del roco de CIUDAD UNIVERSITARIA. Un abrazo

Que auténticos sois!

Hey Sean! Please tell Scarpa to make the old boostic again, best climbing shoe I have ever worn

I don't know how I found this little gem!

Qué bueno Talo! Qué buen rollo de vídeo, no sé si me gustan más las placas, la música o los calcetines.

Been loving the series, thanks! I’m thinking about a trip there this spring. How is the bolting? I see it’s pretty ok with this newer hard stuff, but what about the older or easier climbing? Or is there the possibility for top ropes on some of them? Thanks!

Nice

Ahora falta una recopilación de resbalones

Also, what happened to the full film Raise? Is it just not out yet? I’m excited for the inspiration!
