The Swedish Bouldering Champion VS 8C/V15 La Force Tranquille Replica 

It’s been sooooo long since Fredrik has been in a video! As always he’s so incredibly strong, that combined with Nikkens splendid setting made for a video combination i didn’t know i needed or wanted so much. Thanks for another banger Eric!

Nice to see Fredrik in a video again. It'd be so cool to have an old crew (Norea, Thor, Peter, Kajsa, etc.) vs new crew video for an EKB channel special anniversary video.

Sir Lachius is back! Nail-biting 17 minutes and what a finish on the replica. Thank you Eric for a walk down memory lane. 16:29 they were so cute then: Samuel, Hannes, Peter, Norea, Kajsa, Felipe, ... missing them, too. I'll have to rewatch a few videos right now ;)

Fascinating short story, mate! What was Fred's opinion on the grade? 8A+? Did Matilda try it? :3 She's so strong on crimpers. Cheers, Eric! Thanks again!

Can’t believe it’s been 7 years since Fredriks first video!!! Good to see the OG back! Maybe get a reunion video with Him, Norea, Emil, Thor, Samuel, and Felipe?? Wishful thinking hahahah

Damn, you really see how old you are when you see other people after a long time…

The ending is just priceless !

Fredrik is so strong, its good to see him back on the channel. As always, a pleasure to watch nikken climb, he has a great ability to try super hard.

Such a sick video!! I love these replica videos!!

Banger as usual, love seeing some of the OG crew turning up so thanks!

Ahhh the throwback clips at the end got me feeling some type of way!!!

What a great way to end the video with the og flashback 🔥🔥🔥

Great to see Fredrik again, I remember when he first started appearing in Eric’s vids when he was a young teenager but you could see then that he would be a crusher.

Thanks for doing what you do!! I've been following since 2016 when I started climbing, it's been such a great ride guys.

Hi Eric, Hi Nikken, nice video as usual

Frederik: "maybe if i practice crimps I'll eventually be good at it" 😂 lol nice one, me too! This video was tons of fun to watch: strength, technique, good vibes and great setting. Beast mode definitely activated! ❤

Fredrik, the true original kid crusher! 😍

In the footage 7 years ago, the kid in blue tank top - is that Nikken? So young!

It’s funny that when I read Swedish Champion was like “meh” but when I clicked and saw that it was Fredrick I got super excited!!!

Fredrik and Ake in 1 video in 2023 😎Glad to see Fred is still a beast!!!

I remember that first video! Miss that dope ass gym. Gotta go myself when I’m rich.

What a final!! ❤

Someone Gotta make some videos with Nalle at somet point lol, dude seems like a BEAST, but a hidden one, having the first ascent on Burden is just wild in itself..

Damn, fredrik is so strong. Was he a competitive youth climber? How long has he been climbing for. It would be cool if he let you do a bit more of a video about his progress. This video is full of stoke, thanks!

Haha nikkens hair in the flashback

so sick to see fred back on the channel. Love the replica vids too. When are we gonna see a replica for you, Erik?

Sick ju!

Sick

While you obviously tweaked the boulder a bit, this video also reflects on the great aspect of bouldering: persevering with a specific problem to get better. I'm certain we have all had this experience, but encountering that one boulder that feels impossible initially, only to send it near the end of the session is such a fulfilling experience.

Nikken at the end looks like a different person entirely.

Great video as always! Just a random thought/question @Nikken: Have you ever set with the AO holds? Some of the crimps in this video really reminded me of them. Personally because they have this strange dualtex and a very wide variety of crimp styles (while being cheap) I quite like them. Should work well with replicas too... Although they are not that special (except for the looks when chalked), so really just a random thought...

Was that baby Sam-Swoll at the end?!?!

Is that Emil at the end in the green shirt?

Fredrik is like Benny from The Sandlot.

Who is the guy after Nikken in the recap videos?

❤

Wheres Robin been?

Where is Samuel these days?

Please make a video with emil

he needs a lattice training assessment :D

Hi Eric; you good?

I wonder if my gym will ever set replica boulders

Barely recognize Fredrik!

First

First???

fredrik is balding at 20? that's some crazy genetics lol
