Why does charles look like hes been roaming the eurasian continent for 700 years

[@miguelesctlap]

Maybe he has...

[@bcfoley96]

Kinda looks like if Orlando bloom in pirates of the Caribbean grew out his hair and beard a bit

[@DJangles]

So I've tried the Charles Albert edition shoes and: - soles too soft - midsole completely unsupportive - platform loses its downturn with the slightest amount of weight applied - forces you to actually have strong feet 2/10 would not use again

[@jasonsheppard1]

Keep going dude, the only shoes I've ever tried that just keep getting better with wear! What other shoes can you toe crimp with?!

[@michaelbrown1724]

Yeah they may not be the best shoe available, but you can't beat the price.

[@deathmetalhablo]

Repeat it! The sole will get harder and thicker and your toes will get much stronger! Toe crimping will be guaranteed ;)

[@jumpingjackflash00]

I can finally see how Charles’s toe crimps can but utilized. Unreal

[@benruefmedia]

This was one of my favorite ones. Charles is quite a guy.

[@beneckstein7020]

Atlantide looks like an instant classic

[@TristanCleveland]

Man, the height on the cruz move makes my knees wobble.

[@130runescaperocks]

that top out at 9:44 looked terrifying

[@stevenbrownish]

I agree

[@samhparker]

Yeah, I'm freaking out normal height boulders. That thing was high as heck with a crazy lip to get around. Respect for the last dude, he killed it with no shoes

[@mlkdfs]

Charles has such a clean and smooth style. And that ground-up ascent was simply crazy. A pure climber.

Does the ground up mean he didn't TR it first?

Charles's mono stick on roadkill was absolutely filthy... He floated the crux too :o

Yep, just comparing his and Jimmy’s beta is insane. Is it even a crux anymore ?!

Charles's moves on Road Kill are straight up inspirational. After seeing the best boulders getting smacked for 5 straight minutes on A Mellow Switzerland, wow. Get Charles out there!

[@thethethe4472]

Charles gotta have some gnarly calluses on his heels, imagine hooking on rocks with your bare feet

Hooking with snug shoes on plastic holds can be a pain sometimes...

[@sauntgrodsmachine104]

This video was pure art. The climbing and music was great, but the shots and non-climbing character shots made it feel like a film even my non-climbing friends would enjoy.

[@matthewsevers5862]

Another classic! Atlantide 😮😮😮😮

[@AusVersehen]

What actually is a ground up ascent? Never came across that term.

[@TheGuy10O0]

Most of the time on hard highballs, people will typically rap down to clean the holds and try out the upper moves so you don’t get super high up and have no idea what to do. Ground up means exactly what it sounds like, sending a highball from the ground up, without trying the upper moves on a rope

[@MrNicolas411]

@@TheGuy10O0 I didn't know that..thanks

[@ralphmunn1685]

I assumed "ground up ascent" meant that if you blow the top-out, you're hamburg.

Can anyone find the version of the first song they use? It’s Spinning my Mind by Yello, but I swear it’s a slower remix. Idk. Either way super gnarly climbing and dope lines!

Less!

[@enochlove]

I don't know what ground up ascent is and at this point I'm to afraid to ask Besides that most excellent video

[@user-ih3jl9um6e]

Ground up is a style where you climb a boulder without checking the moves with a ladder or a toprope, it makes a difference only when the boulder is a highball because it leads you to trying hard moves for the first time when you are already far off the ground.

[@tomvandeplassche]

What do they mean with ground up ascent? Don't they just mean flash attempt?

[@gimmepowder]

Another commenter explained, didn't try out the top moves on rope first. He was getting some beta but hadn't seen the top before trying.

He's been. Didn't pay his permits. Climbed hard for sure,but didn't contribute to the local climbing economy.

[@ewenmahevas3473]

@@calebainsworth7247 didn't know that. But the truth is that the man lives a bohemian life. Don't expect him to be the guy who follow the rules and who contributes to the economy. The guy has no sponsors and no equipment.

[@calebainsworth7247]

@@ewenmahevas3473 He has a clothing sponsor and he's part of the Mellow mob. He can be as bohemian as he wants,but if you're in SA you pay your permit. The Cederberg rangers build paths,waymarkers and liase with the landowners to ensure access to the climbing areas. Swerving a permit is a cop out. The local rangers don't work for free. I've been a dirtbag myself so I get the ethos...but you gotta pay your dues.
