Aidan's Hardest Challenge Yet • Bouldering Projects Update

[@misterx2133]

Aidan! Congrats on sending project 1! Anybody else come here from the UKC article?

[@user-bx4zq7fx7e]

That first boulder looks so sick! Like a technical version of Burden

[@Hopesfallout]

This channel is such a gift, keeping it about the things that really matter: beautiful scenery, cool mates, cute doggos and super-human climbing.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks so much 😁

[@m.wunderlich4942]

I love how humble and relaxed Aidan is. Quality content without the brooiness and "sick duuuude" so frequently found on others climbing videos. Very refreshing. ❤

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks!

[@oderiest]

Amazing progress on the local projects! Inconceivable moves looking doable. So excited for the Finland video!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! The Finland vid is well underway now :D

[@adamhaas141]

Whoa, the move I showed the guy at the gym yesterday has a name. "Backhand Gaston." Thanks to Aidan. And, I probably learned the thing here in the first place. Much gratitude.

[@tobias_george]

that movement from 5:05-5:13 was a work of art.

[@jfireclimbing]

That ability to create force into the sidepull so far away from the plumb line, just by squeezing, and make it look so elegant...

[@266dmartin]

Perfect ending for a rest-sunday.

[@samulikilpinen1233]

Really waiting for the Finland video. National pride aside, knowing the quality of the presentation it'll be very interesting. Best bouldering YT channel with a wide margin 🤟.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks so much! Can't wait to share the stuff from Finland 😁

[@bloctribe]

@@WEDGECLIMBING I guess you are admitting that Aidan did climb BoD....😁

[@tomstein7131]

@@bloctribe aidans been clear that it wasnt done during the time sam was there filming. he mightve done it since then but it wont be in the main finland video.

[@aidanscarffe5256]

Editing/filming on point - music hitting the spot - Main character a top bloke . All I want in a climbing video

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Cheers Aidan!

[@danwest8914]

Aidan is what Gaskins wanted to be, great vid as always Sam

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Cheers Dan!

[@jamesdazhongcook]

Almost as strong as leowright679 aka Deo 😉

[@Airsofter3009]

Always a pleasure to watch a wedge video, especially when you get to see Aidan trying hard on extreme projects. Love your vids.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks so much, glad you like the vids 😁

[@ashhodson2063]

The contribution of and towards mastery continues... I cannot wait to see what's coming from Aidan in the near future!

[@mariodelisle1637]

The rocks looks insane in the UK definitely have to go check it out one of these days.

[@christianmengel9407]

Damn! First project looks so beautiful and in a stunning location!

[@giulianocameroni6325]

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks Hannah 😁

[@kavali6320]

It's always a pleasure to watch an artist on the wall ;) The scenery is wonderful, too.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Glad you liked it 😁

[@jeppej4265]

Can't wait for the Finland video to come out. Burden of course but there is so much other climbing so keen to see what did you check! Thanks for the channel overall! Motivational to watch projecting and analysing of climbs let alone to see the sends as well!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks so much! We went to loads of places in Finland, so there's a pretty wide variety of things in the video 💪

[@joshuasteliou2871]

Ohhhh what a vid .. what a sequence.. what a way to lure us in for the next one !

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Glad you enjoyed 😁

[@rogerprat633]

Amazing video. Love to see what Aidan the beast is up to

[@phillewis3108]

More excellent quality content! Aidan is looking very strong, even by his insane standards! Very keen to see the Finnish video!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks Phill!

[@alejand5]

Cmon man give us some bof content haha great video, I wish it was longer

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Lets goo!

[@barryoffeastenders]

Seeing an extendable ladder like that in the middle of the wilderness makes me think of Death Stranding

[@morgydee]

i need more

[@kitka1990]

Kudos to Aidan, he's a beast, as usual. But it's kinda hard to keep a straight face when someone at this level says "It's really hard, it took me quite a few days to do the moves" :D Especially in a world where top climbers try sport routes for YEARS and still can't do all the moves consistently.

[@lawsong6663]

yeah but when its all the moves that take a while to do even once right after one another its a whole different ball game to a sport route that is more based on conserving energy for the hardest moves. if it takes years to even do each individual move on a sport route you're never gonna do it.

[@justingabriele3881]

His board training is world class he could climb V18 if he stays on it

[@michamoin1022]

The training boards in your videos always look amazing. Do you have any tips for setting and hold choice?

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

There's loads of ways to do it, I think we'll try and cover it properly in a video sometime. Some tips would be: - Pick holds that are specific to what you want to improve on - Try and use skin friendly and comfy holds (unless this is specifically what you're wanting to train for) - When putting the holds on the wall try and imagine moves you could do off them to help inspire you where to put them/at what angles

[@robertcreer8826]

@@WEDGECLIMBING I'm keen for this video too

[@Jagknorr]

1000 people will buy those shoes right up. And 900 will want to return them after they bought the wrong size or they don’t fit their foot type 😂. Awesome projects too! 💪

[@scherry2900]

0:19 What shoe is this. Looks like a mix of the new Instinct S and the VSR.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

It's the new instinct LE, details about it are later in the video 👍

[@scherry2900]

@@WEDGECLIMBING Thank you 🥺

[@JonNelson90WBN]

One hell of a view. Lovely scenery. Awesome climbing, as always. How do the shoes fit? Size up/down?

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! I went for the same size I'd wear the VS and that seemed to be about right 👍

[@Cyrrith]

The heelhooks are inhuman man, legit heeling on like 10mm ...

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Multi session heel hook projects 💪💪

When are you going to release the Arrival of the Birds video? please we need this

[@0xcalmaf976]

Where is that location? Stunning!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

A few spots around the lakes, one near Helvellyn and another near Mardale 👍

[@Sam.Cordaro]

When is the LE release? Great video!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! Full release on the 21st of November 👍

Finland series next week?????? Ferry vlog as extra content? 👀

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Maybe not next week but hopefully not too far off 🤞

[@WenereiKaraka]

Aidan you have to finish burden soon

[@doruso5610]

Is this a vapos s with a lace wrapped around ^^

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Yeah, that was the winning combo for that techy heel hook. Although I think Aidan has since found a way that doesn't need the lace 👍

[@nathanredin7785]

anyone has the track id from 2:25 ? 🙏

[@hermannwigers8321]

Is it possible to order the shoes outside the UK?

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

I'm not sure, I would imagine so 👍

[@jamessquire6460]

Hey! Yes Banana Fingers ships worldwide 👍

[@hyau23]

Wears slippers but uses laces to tighten them up for thr heel hook 😂😂😂

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

😅 Big brain beta 🧠 The really reason is the heel on those slippers bites the best on the crimp, but the laces give it extra staying power. He's since figured out a way that doesn't need the laces 💪

[@hyau23]

Aidan needs a pair of those old furias with the cheat heel 😂

[@rock_peppers]

Go to russian boulder 🤔😁

[@VDB420]

Shame I thought these would be those ecological moss shoes I've been hearing all about

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

😅

[@osrictentaqclesmin]

How does it feel to support elitism? 1000 shoes made only… curious. What are your thoughts on that Aidan?
