I laughed when Robin tried it and that he didn't use any of the dual tex crimps.

[@rockerboy95]

how old is robin and how long has he been climbing? his grip strength is crazy!! 😵😵

[@glinkowopalca]

I feel sorry for a climber who will try to save himself with a down jug, only to find out it’s been turned around for 8a route 😃

[@Xeratas]

Dude Robin made this look like a 6c iam soooo impressed. Also amazing setter skills

[@Ld-ol4ge]

Seeing the amount of joy and happiness in Nikken while he's setting really makes me want to find my passion in life. Great video as always.

[@ZoraZoldier]

I love the symbolism of turning all of the holds upside down making the arrows all point upwards like "This way to the top!"

[@personlicherkalenderkalend8662]

Really liked the "Final Boss" Part, music was on point, really laughed my ass off😂😂😂 We absolutely need an Emil AND Nikken Video again!!!

[@yinianlai5295]

LMAO, too.

[@Deathranger999]

Despite having seen him in a few previous videos, I honestly didn’t know quite how strong Robin was until watching his flash go on this boulder. The way he hit that first dyno…Jesus, man.

[@johnnyd.j.6068]

Benji is a certified legend and he's barely been on the channel compared to the OGs. Love the guy's energy

[@johnny-wm4uo]

Just imagine living in the area and actually being strong enough to give these boulders a good try.

[@pyrogeek57]

One can dream

[@bradlesc1000]

I’d love to. Maybe I go to Europe and try lol.

[@kevinnash7444]

So so funny, route setter vs beta breaker. And Robin afterwards flashing the move in such style. Great video.

[@m2ominimal]

You are so wholesome Benji, love the vibes 😁

[@skunkingdonuts3734]

Dude nikken climbing is so technical yet powerful and strong, such an inspiring athlete!

[@jumpingjumping7494]

One of my favorite and the best rock climbing channels on KZbin. The challenges, film quality, not over edited, etc. makes these so easy so watch.

[@kavali6320]

May I introduce? Nikken, genius at work. Ecstatic is the perfect word for everything that's going on here. Eric, that video kept me on the edge of my seat, pressing rewind again and again ;) Robin's performance was so impressive👌.

[@hannibal3143]

Nikken's a monster! He took those beautiful, comforting downclimbing jugs and turned them into something hard?! 😂 this might be my favorite boulder that I've seen Nikken set! Great video!

[@sirstar45]

Absolutely fucking loved this boulder!

[@fireclub493]

Such a sick concept! Love the creativity of pinching the jugs and really trying to force folks to utilize the dualtex! A master route setter for sure :)

[@iamfrancochan]

I think this is one of the funniest and best climbing videos I've ever watched🤣🤣🤣 An absolute masterpiece of success, satisfaction, pain, pettiness, and sufferng

[@zack.projects]

That was so sick!!! You’re all monsters, and got to give it to robin, he’s just on another level with that grip

[@andrewmatthews9753]

Hey Eric just wanted to say I adore your videos and always get excited seeing a new one posted. Thx for all the content

[@micahart2980]

I love the battle between max and Nikken😂it was so awesome to see nikken so psyched.

[@milksushi6640]

13:40 finally got some serious dynamism out of Benji i see

[@TheCureForInsanity]

Love the video, great vibes from the crew the whole time and I loved Nikken's obsessive tweaking at the end

[@sophieju4971]

You are the only channel on KZbin I am subscribed to! ◡̈

[@andrewshaw7862]

Nikken’s energy 🔥

[@BigBigFlo]

AMAZING video! One of my favorite I'd say actually. Loving the idea, the execution, having Nikken in the video, having many people trying afterwards, not too long, not too short etc etc. I however have a technical question, not trying to be picky on the video title, isn't an upside down jug not a jug anymore, but an undercling? I really don't know as.. a crimp can also be an undercling, so is it just an "undrcling jug"!? I guess I'm just a bit confused ahah

[@slvekjelstrup6393]

The nikken send was sooooo cool without music!!! Cudos on that editorial move:)

[@anelivb]

Wow, forever impressed by Nikken. His creativity is mind-blowing. I wouldn't be able to link even one move on most of what he builds, but if I ventured to their gym, I would definitely try anyway!

[@climberdna4405]

Epic set! Jugs with plenty of spice. My kinda climb

[@bnbuescher]

Final boss music was the perfect way to end it. Banger video!!

[@Bobbzorzen]

Love this Nikken series btw! Can't wait for the next crazy challange :D

[@Bennici]

As a sport climber that chalks up after every move, I couldn't help but laugh at those send tries. One move, chalk, repeat. :)

[@didyouknowmore]

Hahaha so much fun to watch, never thought that they would be used for this.

[@johnosborn8881]

Holy shit homies! As always epic fucking set by Nikken and a killer video from you Eric!👏👏 Man I want to climb with you guys so bad! You gotta come to the states! 👊👽

[@benruefmedia]

Robin needs to try an 8C outdoors. He's on another level

[@jirelbyu]

that boss music when Robin flashed it was PERFECT

[@jarl254]

Really good videos lately! Would be fun if you guys could colab with Magnus again (:

[@RealWorldClimbing]

super cool premise, and of course Nikken is the master setter

[@kvasko2]

Such an amazing climb for what seemed like a silly challenge. Soooo good!!

[@sameergawde6683]

just a crazy video, the build-up to setting the boulder and then actually completing it with his (nikken) beta and then kid crusher just smashes first move and then a flash by Robin to top it off.

[@thomasbigt]

WoW that is the coolest boulder problem that I have in a while!

[@julian.km85]

More videos of that. I'm so hyped :D

[@Theboardbro]

Great vid lads :)

[@TrackpadProductions]

It's so annoying to me that 8A is such a nice, round figure, and it's equivalent to V11. It's like 8a and 5.13b; just _one_ off from being perfect.

[@alexbarcovsky4319]

Its funny cos Ive heard most US climbers say their dream grade is V10 and europeans say that their dream is 8A. Like it actually has nothing to do with the grade itself its just that its a nice round number lmao.

[@nickpetrunin2666]

11 is cooler than 10 anyways

[@MythAvatar]

Yeah they should just acknowledged 7B+ as V9 instead of also V8. 7A = V6, 7A+ = V7, 7B = V8, 7B+ = V8, 7C = V9, 7C+ = V10. Every time a + gives a V grade except 7B+, stupid! 8A would be V12...Lovely sounding.

[@alexbarcovsky4319]

@@MythAvatar To be fair, 7B and 7B+ feel awfuly similar, definetely feel less different tham any other + difference. For me, getting from 7B to 7B+ was like a one day process while getting from 7A+ to 7B took a fucking year 🏉

[@MythAvatar]

@@alexbarcovsky4319 I expect that's because you didn't have what you needed to get from 7A+ to 7B whereas when you had what you needed for 7B you then had 7B+ too. Personally 7A+ to 7B took as long as 7A to 7A+ but 7B to 7B+ took much longer. Swings and roundabouts.

[@deanwhitefield1653]

the volumes are such a beautiful color

[@mikew.6897]

I literally liked this video!

[@Jagknorr]

Good set and awesome final boss vibe 😆

[@davidb2718]

Congrats Nikken and Eric 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😅💪

[@voidallyn1538]

my jaw instantly hit the floor when robin got on

[@elmperson]

music extra fire lately

[@mohamadfirdaus8005]

Loving the video 😁

[@Laucher-]

That is a very cool boulder! Good job!!

[@codyheiner3636]

Oh my god Robin... Aboslutely destroyed this boulder

[@picklerick7731]

Really nice. As always

[@Rondoteh]

such an epic ending!

[@drew5334]

That looks like so much fun!!!

[@zoemartin5517]

I’m here for the pettiness

[@maximedelmas]

13:40 Benji turning into a spring

[@constancemaymiller]

So much psych in this video!

[@lancemckenzie1074]

Superhero landing.

[@hioh8716]

What's the track from 5:00 onwards?

[@makspeskin]

Next vid about 8a using only hold from kid's climbwall. Like trains, smiles etc

[@GTkoze]

“Next ones a jug” just came true on an 8a

[@antonc.9625]

I dont think I'll ever be able to look at a downclimbing jug the same way again

[@codyheiner3636]

I've never seen such fancy downclimbing jugs... I thought by the title of this video it was a downclimb boulder, set only with jugs, at a grade of 8A. And I was thinking, RIP shoulders.

[@danielfry8097]

The whole time I was like surely it's easier to pinch the incut on the back of the jug.... He made it look like a downlcimb route lol

[@HansNussbaum]

Jugs and slams for days

[@driklol]

After Years of watching this channel I'm not surprised to see Robin flash that, but Jesus.......

[@lasse1111]

Har du flyttat till Lule? Lol @ Robin...

[@isaackst-louis7678]

At like 7:30 i was like theres no shot this is v11. Im a new climber and i was thinking to myself i could prob climb this

[@slapthesloper]

Based on title I thought you were going to make an 8A downclimbing boulder on only jugs haha

[@nanadolphin]

that dyno was SIIIICK

[@deogratias948]

What is the song at 4:26 please ? :)

[@Noneymar1]

i mean.. nikken shouldve thought about that beta break, it was kinda ovious and easier than his version.

[@alejand5]

I knew that's gonna happen (robin send), you just have to take the underclings the time enough to quickly move your feet up to avoid the no text pinches

[@gabrielwilliams4503]

Okay but what if you guys did this again where its an actual down climb? like you have to do the problem in reverse in classic down climb jug style

[@LoveBystroem]

We need magnus to be part of the crew man

[@BoulderingAddict]

he i noticed you realy been making good videos lately i enjoi tem so much keep it up

[@rikkyburgos95]

Wwoooo

[@quinnthompson]

that climb takes soo long lol. I would have loved to see a fig 4 on a juggy climb- maybe in the future!

[@Drinkyoghurt]

Can't really force a figure 4 move if someone is strong enough to campus it and for most strong people campusing is easier/faster than the fig 4.

[@chrisz4416]

@@Drinkyoghurt Its possible to "force" a figure 4. At least in my definition a move is forced if it's considerable easier with the indendet beta and the beta break feels atleast a grade harder. But you can't force it with jugs because you need a hold that you can't match and a hold where you need extreme precision as a target hold

[@lucvonniederhausern1030]

super sick

[@TuvofLuv]

Ohhh Bloc down! I read this as 'lock down' and it triggered my PTSD 😂

[@imagzz4942]

Haven't watched in a while so when I first saw Robin I thought that was Frederik.

[@Nick-B78]

Really cool bloc

[@EgorKryachkov]

Hi Eric, How tall are you?

[@rogersirard4843]

Jesus Robin is so fucking strong 🤯!

[@noahfowler386]

so what was the final grade?

[@theinsiders-climbingtv5645]

Not 8A, that’s for sure.

[@ytupdate912]

is this in Stockholm?

[@MlleAudree]

you guys! :p "these holds have helped me avoid injuries..." proceeds to set 2 crazy dynos with them hahaha those poor knees 😂

[@vordenklichx1393]

Does anyone know the Brand of nikkens Green Shirt?

[@EricKarlsson]

It's my own brand actually :) working on the products atm

[@futildelalicorne]

i'm to old to mix jumping and climbing ...🙂

[@alejandromontanez2977]

I don't believe Robin is real, that was too much

[@Guyswatch2]

More kid crusher Video

[@rockerboy95]

wtf these kid crushers weren't even struggling

[@edrapiko]

Nasty-nasty

[@aries_9130]

What the fuck Robin hahaha

[@EvanWisheropp]

20:22 It's not petty, it's just annoying when people gloat about "breaking beta." Have some civility kids.

[@vergilliuss4421]

What the fuck does Robin eat? Can I have some?

[@EricKarlsson]

I feel you, boy is a mutant

[@Bobbzorzen]

Did Robin just walk up those pinches like a ladder? it kinda breaks your mind when you see someone struggle like crazy on something and then someone else just walks in and cruise through it.. Nikken makes it look like an 8C and Robin makes it look like a 6A

[@davidk122]

My toxic trait is thinking I can do this easily....and im only a v7/8 climber 😅🤣🤣
