After the success of taking his first IFSC Boulder World Cup Gold medal at Brixen, how will Toby handle back to back Boulder & Lead World Cups? What's it like facing 2 World Cups in 4 days against the worlds best climbers?
Great video Toby, after the previous highs it was great to see you handling not making finals at Insbruck really well and looking at the positives, sign of a true champ!
Really interesting how you planned the tough and compressed boulder comp schedule for maximizing your experience and learning, love that mindset. Innsbruck schedule was insane, great to see you make it through and get some good experience. Awesome watching these videos and really glad you can put the time in to share with us all, thanks and best of luck!
Thanks. It’s definitely been full on - but I’ve really enjoyed the challenge. Feeling refreshed now after Innsbruck and looking forward to the run in to World Championships 😊
Definitely my favourite athlete in the climbing scene atm! Found my self skipping some of the bouldering semi finals and only watching you climb. Keep it up mate, giving you my support for the lead season all the way from australia!
Such a great Video series you did here, thanks to you, your camerasupport and other supportes with that channel. I really appreciate to get some behind the scenes and insides. Seeing the qualiroutes is amazing too since they are not shown in the stream or somewhere. I am really impressed by you powerful climbing style i guess on the powerside you are already far ahead. Good luck and fun to learn the movements you struggeld with.
I remember running into a youtube short where you killed this pockets 360 boulder route. I was thinking "this guy is going win gold someday". And at brixton you DID! Such an epic ending at worlds. Keep up the strong work man. Super inspiring.
This is amazing! I have been following your climbing for a few months and wow! Amazing results. More important maybe is that you seem to have the mental game focussed in your radar and in a sport like this, maybe that's the hardest part? Climb for tomorrow, not for today and good luck Toby :-)
Thank you. The mental side of things is hugely important and I’ve definitely worked on it. You’re as strong as you’re weakest attribute because the setters will find it 😂
I’ll definitely be doing some training videos in the future. I train a lot harder in the winter - in the summer it’s a lot of maintenance and the comps provide a lot of the training 👍
As you have climbed quite a bit in the KI and in B-Pump, how do you think the colour-grading systems compare in the both gyms? I climb regularly in the KI and think that the black boulders often are crazy hard - you made them look easy. So which tape-colour would the black boulders in the KI have at B-Pump?
In BPump the grades are Black > Light Green > Brown I’d say KI black circuit is mostly similar to BPump brown circuit and the harder ones would be light green equivalents. Black tape boulders in Japan are harder than any boulders I’ve been on in KI or in Europe. They would be single boulders to project over multiple sessions and some don’t get sent (i.e. they feel a lot harder than the light greens). Not everything is directly comparable though - some of the pinks in KI are harder than some of the KI blacks. But BPump black tapes are the hardest indoor boulders in the world as far as I’m aware!
@@TobyClimbing Thank you so much for the answer! Gives a lot of perspective! Hope to climb in Japan myself one day :D All the best to you for the upcoming lead comps - keep crushing! 💪🤙
Yes - it’s a bolt cover\hold. It has almost no texture. It’s there so climbers don’t get disqualified for using a bolt. It is hard to stand on though so you get little help from it… but still going to try 😂
These videos are always quite a few days after the comps - most people know the results. Probably can’t avoid spoilers as we’re making it up as we go along 😂
