Can I keep up with a V15 Pro Climber? ft Emil Abrahamsson

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Thanks for the good session homie, looking forward to the next one!

[@lewisczyzewski5204]

Give it a whirl is a legitimate English phrase Emil - it's used when giving something a tentative first attempt ❤

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Next time, we gotta find boulders that are actually hard for you

[@amberblackford9999]

Yep I say “give it a whirl” all the time

[@benjaminsebald5429]

I grew up saying, "Give it a whirl". It's totally a thing! Maybe just an older American thing.

[@maikburbach1348]

Nobody beats Peter in falling back in the days 😂

[@Glenners]

Lmao, I swear to god, every month there's another video from this session being like "well AFTER THAT we did this!" Before we know it we'll find out it was a 12 hour session and there are 3 more crossovers still to be released!

[@AnnaNibbs]

I know right?! 🤯 This has to be one of the most productive sessions in climbing KZbin history.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I think the record gotta go to the bobats and Magnus🤣I think they did like 6/7 videos or something crazy like that in a day

[@DanNguyen-oc3xr]

Which ones are the before parts for this?

[@lissi-zg8bw]

​@@DanNguyen-oc3xrCatalyst and Emil released videos monthish ago

[@jackylee4132]

18:35 i love how he had to stop the climb just to explain the whole Naruto LOL! such a fun Anime fan to hang out with!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

We are all weeboos deepdown

[@jennymchandler]

"give it a whirl" is common lingo here in NZ. Great video thanks, also really appreciate Emil's continued commitment to speak out about weight issues. Such a great humble ambassador for our sport.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

He’s the man!!! Also I didn’t expect people to pay so much attention to that phrase hahaha

[@nparsona]

The phrase "I'll give it a whirl" is defined in the Cambridge as "to attempt to do something, often for the first time:". I used to use it when I was a kid back in the 70s/80s. It's funny to hear Emil say it as he isn't a native speaker of English.

[@ArchibaldVonSkip]

I believe people say "Give it a spin" a little more often. Still not the cool kids' lingo but eh.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

🤣now I know

[@jacobkiley6169]

​@ArchibaldVonSkip I've never heard someone say give a spin. Give it a whirl is much more common

[@AiRStrejf]

The intense, hyped up music, followed by "Actually, I have to finish the analogy" is too funny 😂

[@Jonathan_sin88]

took me solo long to line it up, glad someone noticeddd ahha

[@matthiaslehmann9153]

Seeing emil footswap so effortlessly makes me think I have the completely wrong approach to that, ngl xD

[@Jonathan_sin88]

The man’s smoothhhhh, got way more than just strength for sure

[@glubibobi]

Always love Emil's style. Burly and powerful but controlled. It's what I strive for as a heavier climber as well.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

so smooth tooo

[@BrandonShep]

Your climbing journey has been epic to watch man, great work!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

thank you so much!!We just getting starteddd

[@nparsona]

Whenever I see Jonathan fall I imagine the Wilhelm scream in my head. Great to see all these collabs that you have been doing.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Thank you!!! More cool ones coming!!

[@AnnaNibbs]

10:49 this is one of the things about Emil that really inspires me. In my case I could probably benefit from being 10-15kg lighter than I am. But having been thin, weak and fatigued in earlier periods of my life, and currently having several disabilities and pretty challenging personal circumstances, a calorie deficit isn't a big priority right now. I'd rather be stronger and heavier and adequately fuelled. I'm never going to be a pro climber, so for me the focus is on looking after myself well enough to enjoy my climbing ss much as I can. I'm physically stronger, with better flexibility, coordination and balance (still working on endurance... 😅) at the age of nearly 45 than at any other point in my life. If I'm able to get a bit leaner in the long run, cool. If not, as long as I can keep climbing, I'm good. 👍 Great video, guys! Really love the camaraderie between you too. 🙌 Jonathan, your content always makes me smile. ☺️

[@Askejohn]

Try some hangboard endurance routines, I’m a beginner and saw great improvement in my endurance from doing a few protocols

[@tai.tennis]

Was not expecting a Naruto analogy there. Be better than yesterday, love it 💪🏼

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Quote to live by

[@scytha3721]

Emil quoting my favourite Rock Lee line was amazing. I always try to do that in life.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

That’s the way🫡🫡

[@ВиталикЛуцкий]

Wow! That was truly amazing! Made me tear up when you both sent that last yellow. Keep up the good work and become stronger than you were yesterday)

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Only goal we can have😎

[@mystishio]

Love Emil's energy. Seems like such a nice dude! You're both inspirational for this older, heavier and still fairly fresh climber 😁

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Happy to give you some psych anytimeee😎

[@ImKupa]

john and emil in one video, cant get much better

[@Jonathan_sin88]

😎😎😎

[@tuva8625]

Such good vibes! I think u have a real talent for interviewing - the conversations on ur channel always feel so fresh. Keep it up

[@Jonathan_sin88]

thank you so much!! Many more cool ones coming!

[@TheBanana202]

Love emils approach to weight management. As a taller climber (6‘2) i used to try to aim to weigh as little as adam ondra, and i would literally feel sick, constantly be cold and shivering and generally feel unwell at 73kg, looking malnourished af. Now i just sit at a much healthier 82kg, i get injured less, my joints are healthier and i recover better. Its definitely the better choice in the long term, even if i would be stronger if i weighed a few kg less at the moment.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I definitely agreee

[@filippocostanzo]

congrats on that last sent bro! was awesome to see :)

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Hahah it was awesomeeee

[@Answer404]

I think the way you fall is talking a lot about your coordination. You have to be very good at coordination to fall in an uncertain position while you are moving to the next hold. Most people will never make the move with uncertainty without preparation for this, but you do. That means you are always a step ahead! So it's great to have the ability to move freely while you are in the position; there you have never been before. The second thing is the commitment. When you are not very tall, you always have to commit to every dyno move. This helps you explore the bigger field of the position where you feel comfortable. Some people (Josh 😘, for example) will probably never find a boulder that forces him to explore this type of position. I think this will make a huge impact on your climbing style and push your climbing boundaries.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Hahah thanks for turning my falls into something that I’m gonna be proud of🤣

[@FB711_]

And on top of that they’re majestic. Definitely something to be proud of.

[@lukexavier9770]

What a great video!! That ending was beautiful, felt like a movie, was lovely seeing Emil rave about Naruto too 🔥

[@Jonathan_sin88]

We all know what he dressed up for Halloween

[@alexabouchacra1871]

Goated video, amazing inspiration, love the discussions!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Glad you liked ittt

[@VickyAdelia-bs2yu]

Dream collab, and super good content! Emil: always on training-mode at the gym, hence no need to match the top, yess!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

No need to match “easy top”😉😉

[@VickyAdelia-bs2yu]

@@Jonathan_sin88 next time you guys should do 10x pull-ups on easy tops instead of matching? :))

[@afatsquirrel1853]

insane send on the final climb!!!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

took a lot of try harddd

[@matteobecchi1210]

Emil has his own magic way of looking weightless while climbing

[@heraclitus4884]

Giving it a whirl definately exists, don't worry! He probably picked up from Pete as it's quite a british thing

[@AnnaNibbs]

Definitely sounds like something Pete would say. The Wide Boyz are so thoroughly British! 😄

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Pretty sure he has been saying it before he met pete

[@gaetanoarcher1573]

Super cool to meet you guys back then! And get to watch you do some awesome climbs :)

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Hahah thank you for the support🤜

[@aadrian14700]

in most of the boulders it was very clear the fact that being shorter makes things harder in climbing! But very nice video, cheers for both of you guys, you're awesome :))

[@alexabouchacra1871]

no bro, each boulder different and caters to different body types, no need to shut it down so small like that

[@Jonathan_sin88]

🤣not sure if that’s true, Emils just a better climber than me

[@ajsimmons]

Another great video. Keep them coming. I'm in Japan now because of your Japan videos.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Enjoyyyyyy

[@questpatch4527]

What a monster session you all had there, absolutely crazy.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

🤣we lost a few along the way

[@andrewwastaken2]

Emil: Lets warm up. (Flashes a v7) That was fun. I want to know what it feels like to cruise a v7 like its a ladder lol

[@Jonathan_sin88]

You will fine out soon😎

[@the0neskater]

Sick send at the end! Amazing video

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Thank youuuuu

[@CptHamYolo]

I've used "Give it a whirl" for like 20 years at least! Great phrase haha

[@Jonathan_sin88]

ahha, now we knowww

[@shellytraverse]

Great collab! Give it a whirl is a nice classic brit phrase but I'd add at the grandad speech end rather than teen end and some great 'try hard'-ing 🥰

I don’t got a full head of white hair for no reason

This was really nice video. You looked a little exposed and maybe looked like you feel "small" for this world (not literally)... Intimidated by being around so strong climbers. Anyway to me you are bonkers strong and it's impressive! Great job!

Why is there a guy with banana nunchucks at 2:30

[@AnnaNibbs]

Think it's a pair of Boot Bananas (shoe deodorisers) attached to their li'l' carabiner. ☺️ But I like the idea of banana nunchuks better. 😂

Great video! I'm just curious, why you have so much tape on your wrists?

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Just got some stability

[@kund99]

Quote: I always feel i can do them, if i have enough time. 🤣 Emi: I always think I can do everything, if I work hard enough on it. 👍 One requirement is Enough Time, the other is work hard enough, that makes difference.

[@lofizp1062]

YUHHHHH🔥🔥

[@Jonathan_sin88]

YES AHHHHH

[@emilydowling3882]

What’s the tape around your wrists do ?:)

[@Jonathan_sin88]

just some extra stability!

[@EthanRees-Smith]

Does anyone know the intro music / song please 🙏🏻

[@D4NKN4]

Do you always tape your wrist or do you wear some kind of gear? Is it because you're really prone to wrist injuries or some other reason? Just curious as you always have tape on and I have a wrist tweak rn.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

My wrists hurt when I climb a bit too much on big slopey holds, taping them up just gives me more stability

[@theofyfe-gits9631]

[@shiki8353]

I say give it a whirl all the time (live in new zealand)

[@Jonathan_sin88]

haha, now I knowww

[@darkaquatus]

11:34 Losing weight is absolutely the number 1 thing you have to consider if you want to improve as a climber. We're not talking about V15 climbers here, obviously, but the average joe would definitely benefit from losing weight. After all, most people have quite some fat mass to burn off without any downsides.

[@therealsanoki]

Johnathan falls like a blender physics sim 😆

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I think they base it off me

[@matejnovosad9152]

It is always so crazy how many levels are there to this game. I am so much better than beginner climbers, Jonathan is so much better than me. Emil is so much better than Jonathan and Sorato is so much better than Emil.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

But somehow we can all have fun togetherrr it’s awesomeee
