I tried this and 'won' a chalk bag - there was no way however to actually claim it, I just got a message that the code couldn't be used with my basket contents - my best guess was it would only work if I reached some minimum order buying other stuff?

[@TheUCuber]

@@lm7012 you are correct, my guess would be 100+

[@superdookiebros3788]

@@lm7012 I won the chalk thing, had the same issue. Was planning to buy another bag anyways, so I added that to the cart and the chalk was discounted 99%. I'm guessing you need to hit the $70 free shipping thing.

[@wasdasoos6552]

Dude I won the 20pcs of Magdust, thank you so much! Instantly liked & subbed now :D

[@JoshRundle]

@@wasdasoos6552 wooooo so happy you won! Thanks for the support!

[@familyandfriendsadventures5782]

I think I've watched too many climbing videos... I see in the background, while Alex is talking about negative thoughts, the kitty cat boulder that someone set for Louis in some other video...

[@climbing_thomas]

also the yellow boulder when alex talks about "feel more think less" was in a video with louis and nathan i think, and the "purrrrfect toecatch boulder" was on a catalyst video, it is the one next to the red one alex does right after talking about the feeling! edit: aah, i thought you saw the one he set for his cat, my bad!

[@leandramarchand2960]

Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking about this😂

[@zichxyna7]

Also noticed this haha 😅 no such thing as too many climbing videos!

[@overlord7122]

Yep its the one where they set Louis' dream boulder

[@gastonclimbing-mattdarling8562]

Everywhere I go, I see the same holds

[@kim98677]

"i feel like were becoming friends" Alex: *immediately changes subject*

[@JoshRundle]

😂😅 best friends

[@ReaperUnreal]

You can actually pinpoint the second his heart rips in half.

[@a.malaspina6702]

I think you are already best friends. She tries to explain you something and you don't want to listen.

[@roapcoaching917]

😂🤣😅

[@urabagofcells2228]

Lets watch it again: 13:35

[@Zaphod_]

I think this is the best Magdust ad I've seen yet :D

[@JoshRundle]

Hah thank you 🙏 was very hard not to laugh 😂

[@mildmanneredjanitor0]

​@JoshRundle the picture in the valuables pouch was a classy touch.

[@JoshRundle]

It’s still there too, I’m never going to take it out 😂

[@TheBenjaminsky]

I'd go even further and say this is the best youtuber hocking a product I've ever seen

[@mildmanneredjanitor0]

@@TheBenjaminsky you haven't seen Justin Hawkings plugging Manscape, I think....?

[@Kwigs_kun]

Dude, your commitment to the Magnus bit is next level

[@JoshRundle]

Haha anything for Magnus

[@guustvanuden2968]

"be positive" josh: "i feel like a giraffe, thats been thrown on ice and thats been drugged and then hit by a brick at the same time"

[@JoshRundle]

😂😂🦒as least I’m descriptive 😂

[@Deeds_of_Love]

0:35 - 60/40 rule 7:59 - anchor points 9:21 - Think less, feel more 14:18 - Mental framing 17:03 - The chain

[@patrykstaniszewski1668]

Alex: don't be so dramatic Alex 15 seconds later: UGHHH I'M MELTING

[@JoshRundle]

😂😂😂 good point

[@Qadow]

So does Alex have licence for carrying those guns she has ? (I swear to god they are bigger than mine). With respect.

[@JoshRundle]

Haha must do to be that’s strong

[@roapcoaching917]

Loved this session Josh! Thanks for having me :)🙂

[@JoshRundle]

Thank's for such a fun session Alex! I learned a lot!

[@wasp66]

15:00 I cant get over the cat on the wall

[@Claudia18915]

I love Louis' cat in the background at 15:48

[@JoshRundle]

It’s a great cat 🐱

[@Claudia18915]

Best route setting ever

[@peterkapunkt6783]

How can I trust my feet if they betray me all the time?

[@JoshRundle]

Maybe they betray you because you don’t trust them?

[@peterkapunkt6783]

Impossible. They started it.

[@hil1249]

Push harder on them!

[@JoshRundle]

😂 time to retaliate and show them who’s boss

[@nilsp9426]

Everyone talking about the Magdust ad, but can we talk about these imazingly clear instructions?

[@JoshRundle]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@darkaquatus]

2:46 This is actually why I started climbing 3 months ago! I did it once after an invitation from a friend and I realized this was NOT my thing because I am not very good at it. I'm too heavy, not flexible, I lack grip strength and I am not very tall. So that's actually why I decided to accept it as a personal challenge, because I'm used to seeking out things I'm good at and that can get boring after a while. So yeah, 3 months later I still suck, but at least I can do a few easy V4s now. Hopefully I'll be able to do V5s within my first year.

[@billking8843]

Don't obsess about grades. Treat it as a dance performance where you are your own audience.

[@MartinDlabaja]

Its amazing watchin Alex climb. It is like dynamic yet gentle slow-motion footage.

[@JoshRundle]

That’s such a good way to describe it! Beautiful 😍

[@constanceelaine3909]

Alex is the real deal

[@TibyGolanu]

That MagDust add is marvellous. Try to make same concept for magjuice haha ! Next time i need chalk i will use your code . So far i still have 6 bags of chalk which will keep me away from a while . But always a joy to see your videos !

[@Bertie.-_]

You should start a class called "charisma in climbing" 🔥🔥🔥

[@JoshRundle]

hahaha On it ;)

[@JoshRundle]

I didn’t… not sure why it didn’t show up 😃

[@Kraaketaer]

"Let's focus on the feet and getting our body weight onto them, that's where you get power from" *Proceeds to put the toes of a fully extended foot on a shoulder height hold and somehow manages to weight it* Yes, this clearly applies across skill levels, but something tells me that being made of spring steel or whatever it is Alex is made of also helps quite a bit.

[@crallen-fu4tr]

9:08 bro is that Toby Segar in the background on the Kilter board?? 🤯

[@JoshRundle]

It wasn’t, but must be his doppelgänger

[@dhalsinge]

best commercial for chalk ever hahaha

[@JoshRundle]

😂 thank you!

[@idrisso.g.6316]

super nice when you guys hang out but still educate us all. nice and comforting

[@JustanamebroDK]

The way you're flirting and she's not having it 😂

[@JoshRundle]

Haha trust me that’s not flirting. No one wants to see me flirt, well unless you like awkward silences and talking about why some blades of grass are different colours 😂

[@lekanteto]

I was waiting for Josh calling her babe.🤣 Nice video. 👍

[@joshmorley4919]

Bro, I was caught off guard by my climbing gym in the sponsored segment, literally never seen it in a KZbin video before.

[@JoshRundle]

Love frome boulder walls! I have filmed one video last year there

[@draganandrei5356]

That ad was smooth af.

[@JoshRundle]

Haha thank you!

[@JDPrimeShots]

Thought I spotted a wild Toby Segar on the Kilter Board at 9:11 😆

[@RiannaMariman]

4:01 the uncooked pasta on the plate 😂

[@JoshRundle]

😂😂 I think you’re the first person to notice 🍝

[@jonnes__4657]

It's best with magdust. 😜 .

[@alexgalays910]

That first slab indeed has high feet for such a tall handsome guy like you, agreed. High, tiny feet is scary and make our butts go 1m away from the wall, lol.

[@riesenwildschaf]

the commercial was great xD josh, you're such a funny guy! thanks to alex for the tips! she is so strong! i love to watch her climbs

[@JoshRundle]

Yay thank you so pleased you liked it!! She climbs so nicely doesn’t she?

[@urabagofcells2228]

14:19 feels like tigger dragging piglet along where one josh skip is 5 puccio steps lol so cute both of you.

[@yourneighborwiththecutedog]

love yalls energy together :)

[@JoshRundle]

😃🙏

[@ryangross5446]

Awesome video as always Josh, Alex really is an excellent teacher and she brought some great points to the table. I suppose ill climb some overhangs next session to improve my weaknesses haha

[@alexgalays910]

Climbing is so interesting and surprising that a V14 climber can still be surprised at the relative difficulty of a V6 :D

[@ejl74]

I love watching Alex climb. I also love hearing talk about climbing. So enlightened.

[@JoshRundle]

She’s awesome 🙌 isn’t she

[@HelenSeaborne]

Could I just put a tiny word of warning out there on the 60/40? As a much much older climber (50s), I think one also has to be very careful to listen to one's body on the subject of things one isn't comfortable with or good at. There is a very real chance of injury otherwise. So I'm not at all great at heel hooks, and I do try to try them. But I can also feel that if I push it I'm going to knacker my hamstrings and at my age that could be permanent game over.

[@AloeVeraJuiceJuice]

I take a little bit of meth as a pre-workout, makes my pinch strength crazzzzyyyy

[@JoshRundle]

Not sure what to say to this …. 😂

[@mateuszborkowski2357]

16:45 how is that not a thumbnail with a title "Alex Puccio falls in love with my climbing skills"? :P

[@JoshRundle]

Haha it is now, but sadly for me it might be Clickbait 😂

[@barrabinfc]

alex is so friendly!

[@riesenpurzel]

I gave a thumb up for that advertisement. And I rarely give a thumb up to anything but that made me laugh :P

[@JoshRundle]

Yay thank you 🙏!!!

[@robertovaldocortese5853]

This could be the first time in history in which an ad is the best part of a KZbin video

[@JoshRundle]

Haha I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing 😅😂

[@robertovaldocortese5853]

The video's alright, i mostly tune in for the ads now (JK great content, keep it up & keep slabbing & smashing) @JoshRundle

[@narzeft]

Cool vid, Mate I feel your pain... Got into climbing late last year and I'm 6'6. Those high foots on the slabs are killers

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you! Haha I know!! Us tall boys have got to stick together!! 😂😉

[@mystishio]

Great video, Josh! And Alex is always inspiring on the wall, and made some great points here 😁

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you 😊. She’s awesome!

[@fyfriday]

Good point about a positive mindset. I had a coach that didn’t let me SIT next to a negative person in the gym. Thanks for the reminder!

[@mikew.6897]

7:08 snailed xD love it!

[@JoshRundle]

Love a 🐌

[@matejnovosad9152]

She, like every climber, has absolute glizzies for fingers and insane biceps

[@chrislang7460]

Still hoping for a Magnus collab. Love the content

[@JoshRundle]

Me too! Thank you :)

[@emerqld4673]

From the raffle I got the one free magdust, but the discount only works when I add something else that isnt the magdust to the cart. How can I fix this

[@prod_ads]

Got myself in the background of this one

[@JoshRundle]

❤️

[@emterroso]

So, if I'm getting this right, Magdust goes well with raw spaghetti?

[@JoshRundle]

It’s the perfect combination

[@EllaClarke-ht3vb]

Mittiboo 😂

[@JoshRundle]

😂 the one and only

[@poofypoof6508]

Awesome tip about the thumb to engage the shoulder! Never thought about that

These are actual pro tips unlike some other videos on youtube lol

[@JoshRundle]

Haha pleased you like them 😊

[@ReshirexOnYT]

NDL

[@davehoulbrooke]

That sexual tension...

[@obscurelines]

I go to the gym, the climb is crimpy 'why aren't my fingers stronger?!', the climb is positional 'why doesnt my body move right?!' the climb is tiring 'why dont I have more stamina?!' and on and on.

[@yyBoByy]

We are rarely as good as we hope to be, and our progress is never as swift as we'd like. Stay objective, and try to see your progress over time rather than an individual session. (This is a hypocritical take - I'm a recovering perfectionist, and it sucks when we can't see improvement or feel like we don't measure up to the challenge). Gotta keep at it, and keep having fun. Good luck out there!

[@ayuminor]

Lots of good moments in this video but but Alex "responding" to the cutback of Josh ranting about slabs with "exactly" really got me for some reason 😂

[@JoshRundle]

hahaha I'm pleased you like that bit :)

hahaha I dont know if I can bring myself to do it

I thought. Josh was a v8 climber interesting to see him struggle on v4/5? Sandbagged ? Lol

Have seen a Gr 29 climber lose it on a 14 and a grade 32 climber back off a 22. That's climbing for ya!
