7:09 Omar is climbing his 7c+ in the background

[@BoulderingBobat]

Sent it easy bruv 😅😅😅🤙🏽

[@Kiwi_Climbing]

100% agree with Joe - I use the "better to fall off a harder climb than an easy one" every time I'm having a shit session 😂 and just try insane projects that can't hurt my ego

[@dtrehalose]

Oh yes. Would love to see a bit more roped climbing.

[@emmakentwine]

Y'all can fool around and laugh at each other all you want, but Tom's constant encouragement and Jon saying "I got you" after every move Joe made show how much you care about each other and it's really special and honestly that makes this channel even more fun to watch. :')

[@jacobposner]

Joe: "I just feel the eyes burning in the back of my head, and it's making me feel sick." Tom: "It's alright, it's uh... they're burning on the front of your head as well!" So reassuring!

[@thewateringwiz7118]

Jesus Christ Jonny P is a beast ! He's great at bouldering and he can send hard lead routes ! Massive congrats to Joe for sending that 7B, he looked so in control on it ! What a great video !

"I'm scared of heights and we never rope climb" Starts lead climbing on a 5.12+ (or is it 5.13-?) You guys are strong! Nice video!

[@TheAaronp17]

It's a 5.12a

[@dennishierzer2219]

Lol ikr

[@matthewzaloudek]

@@dennishierzer2219 I mean when you boulder V10, climbing 12a isn't really much of an effort.

[@ivanhagstrom5601]

I love Jon! He's always smiling.

[@largeformatlandscape]

Falling practice for Joe definitely!! And not taking big whippers.. just clip and fall on every bolt. And then clip move and fall, etc. I'm still working on it and it isn't easy

[@Cookie-tv2bb]

Yeah but once I fall of once it feels awesome and wanna keep doing it

[@largeformatlandscape]

@@Cookie-tv2bb I find that once I've done a couple of clip drop climbs I'm a lot better. I'm still trying to get to the point where you drop before clipping (higher up obviously)

[@eriksteen2900]

Tons of respect, can't believe you did such difficult lead routes. Would love to see more every once in a while. But what would be really awesome is another moonboard "Muppets" comp amongst the crew!! Absolutely loved the last one, and even though moonboard masters 2019 was a bit, uh, different (trying to use nice words) your last moonboard comp was super amazing!

[@TheUnknownFactor]

Also as an aside, I suspect half the reason that youtube mostly has bouldering channels is because it's probably easier to film. You guys did a great job and got great angles on the shots.

[@jamesolson1537]

Actually what I like about a lot of climbing videos is to see people struggle only because they're pushing their limits. It's most rewarding to watch them overcome the climb they were battling. Great work, and really liked seeing sport climbing seeing as I mainly sport climb. Keep up the good work.

[@slabking4529]

That's... an earring

[@jered_jones]

I know that lead climbing is a departure from what your name indicates, but I personally liked the change in scenery. Good work!

[@Nick-B78]

Awesome respect for Joe on this than almost any of the other videos honestly. Lead IS scary and it’s something I definitely find hard. What I would say though Joe is that your clipping is f’ing superb man! It’s so quick and clean and I know part of that will be down to wanting to get it clipped ASAP to feel (relatively) safe again but even so, top notch buddy 🤜👍

[@MultiNarf]

I'm fine with more lead videos :)

[@largeformatlandscape]

me too!

[@amitaycohen7711]

This training area is bigger then my gym

[@XxMissyLucky14Xx]

Great video! Trying to get over my fear of lead climbing aswell

[@Nick-B78]

Argem Sabuga As someone who’s having the same problems, the best piece of advice I can give is to find a belayer you ABSOLUTELY trust and only ever do lead with them. I’m still only managing 5c+ at best but I can barely manage a 5a if I’m being belayed by someone I have even the slightest doubts about

[@NickBlades]

Great video, thanks for sharing something different, variety is the spice of life and all that.

[@petet3025]

Yeah!!! Way to go guys! Going straight from bouldering to sending 7B is incredibly impressive. Great job Joe! Jon, you made that look too easy... Also great job!

[@telanos2492]

Jon and Joe! Two of my favourite climbers in one video!

[@RedSkyLB]

Love seeing you all sport climbing!

[@Route_2_V11]

Just recieved that sick bat merch yesterday, making my homies in the gym jealous. Keep it up guys!

[@dom_worth]

can you do a christmas special where Joe and Jon race to the top of a pear tree?

[@audreyleong]

Dom oh my goodness yes please!!!!!

[@tylerhermes7220]

I have been bouldering for the past three years and just recently really started top roping and lead climbing. I’m afraid of heights but the more you do it the better it gets. Finishing a lead or top rope gives you a much different feeling of joy than bouldering does. This video was great!

[@_AllThumbs]

Yessss! Good to see you guys leading!

[@ericconnor3728]

finally! great shots, I love it when ppl use multiple cameras along lead routes. Also, I prefer tryhard joe over raging joe :D (though sometimes that's the same...)

[@philippkogel5496]

9:15 Joe realizing he has to enter the route next xDDD

[@BoyFromTheOtherSide]

Yes guys! More JP in all future videos please. Proper legend 👍🏻

[@niks5463]

Big Rock Bond was the nicest bouldering gym in a good 30 mi radius while I was there.

[@wawingnut1]

Just wanted to give joe a hug 😢 love you guys ☺️

[@logan__mann]

lol I'm actually so scared of lead and top roping. I get scared finishing a boulder.

[@therooster83]

As much as I do enjoy watching Joe rage, I was also rooting for him to send on lead. I find that if I don't climb regularly, that fear of heights comes back and takes a few goes to get used to the height again.

[@nickfoulds8673]

Joe, that was like watching myself leading in a mirror! I am happy to highball most big boulders no problem as I'm sure you are but put a rope and harness on me and all my strength counts for nothing as I over grip and crap my pants 2 inches above the last bolt! The moment you quit on the 7C+ and basically sat straight back into your harness with no drop reminds me of countless moments like that I have myself had on lead. The single cure for it in my experience is just being on the sharp end more. The comfort comes with heaps of time spent in that position and I think the most useful thing to help me get any closer to "fine" while in that situation was being super cautious of not over gripping. I've heard a couple good mates suggest both "the rock warriors way" and "fear" they are both supposed to be ace for helping you get your head around that stuff if you want to that is! We all know Bouldering is best ;) Good luck with it mate, I'd love to hook up for a climb with you guys back in the UK on one of my holidays or if you lot want to put up some new first ascents come down under, I can host you in Brisbane and we can go check out the granite belt region. First ascents and ace technical established routes abound! Keep up the hard graft bobat's been ace watching you all progress both climbing and video editing wise! P.S time for another hot sauce challenge? or maybe like I once did down a mountain snowboarding try climbing some stuff with Tiger balm smeared on your face just under your eyes (It's bare jokes honest....)

[@matansbirthday]

You guys are awesome! Joe, you should do some practice falls to build up confidence, shake out your arms during the climb, find good rests to shake out and chalk up, and try to clip with the quickdraw between shoulder and waist height if possible, you'll save a lot of strength. And you'll be flashing those 7C+'s in no time

[@Madness200Gaming]

love Joe's shorts match the holds

[@evancourtis3539]

Love the leading, but watching Jon struggle to pull out slack from the belayer being too tight was frustrating as hell

[@domenichughes7792]

"joe is notoriously weak on lead" me chillin at 10c redpoint/10b flash indoors: "oh I see"

[@Limestoned69]

More lead vids like this would be awesome!

Fire music as always

[@maudglazbrooke1287]

Yeay! Ropes! Safe word is "soft catch".

[@VDB420]

I feel you Joe. Just keep it up!

[@anthonymaraldo5406]

Love the lead videos!

[@TheAaronp17]

Crazy to see guys that climb at this level look so uncomfortable on lead. If you guys really wanna get over your fear you should make a video of you guys taking massive whips repeatedly... I'd watch lol

[@TheAaronp17]

And not one whip the whole video😔

[@largeformatlandscape]

Actually I think a video about clip drop and learning to get over fear of falling would be great. I could seriously relate to that!

[@TheUnknownFactor]

The actual best way to get over your fear of lead is to take some falls. Not intentional falls, those are terrifying. Unintentional, unanticipated falls where suddenly you're just hanging and everything is actually completely fine.

[@Cookie-tv2bb]

Omar should try it as well as Tom also do more of this please it was a great vid one of the best I’ve seen from you all

[@bigwickchannel2969]

Grab the hold above the clip before clipping

[@GrantTyrer79]

Ive never seen someone so calm yet so angry at the same time......mooooar lead climbing!!

[@ShakespeareanBroncobuster]

Could use some work on the ascending

[@mattcron9421]

Good job my friend, keep trying things that scare you.

[@climbingsnufkin]

Seeing this now and love the fact that the guys have the same insecure look like me when leading 😇

[@LuccaUeda]

guys, you should be shaking your arms while holding the good holds... it helps the pump A LOT! I'm also struggling with fear of falling while lead climbing at the rock, working on a 7c project here in Brazil!

[@emiliacastelao5189]

you guys should do a video on the kinds of training you do in the training area because i always see them but never know how to utilize them

[@indigoalex6894]

The rage is strong in this one

[@MarkRidlen]

Roped climbing feels safer to me than bouldering. Caveat: I've never done lead climbing before.

[@BoulderingBobat]

100% its safer buuuuuut its 200% scary af

[@Nick-B78]

Bouldering Bobat agreed it’s safer in general but when done badly or wrong, the risk potential is massively increased simply due to the height difference.

[@largeformatlandscape]

More people are injured bouldering but very few people die :-) You fall a lot further though and your lizard brain doesn't understand ropes

[@christineholmberg7431]

I was going to request this, but someone must have read my mind through cyber web. Another fun one of shenanigans and try hard.

[@grahamoh96]

Joe’s clip game strong

[@6darkness6eternal6]

Respect for that Joe. I've been climbing for a few years and also still shit myself on lead. Best thing to do is just rip off the bandaid by taking a few lobs off an overhanging jug ladder, once you've taken a few falls everything feels much more relaxed.

[@partykrew666]

Never thought I'd see the day

[@jaredsinn8842]

I’m terrified of heights, but I also love that bottomless feeling in my stomach, it gets the adrenaline pumping. Good job Joe!👍

[@gideondenton6013]

Nice one joe “your awesome”

[@bottomowashington]

nice work joe its not easy. more lead!!

[@JJ-rb4ie]

aren't you supposed to double clip at the top? I'm new to lead so if anyone knows, let me know.

[@largeformatlandscape]

I'm not so sure. As you're covered by the last clip anyway you have backup. I think the double is meant for if you're top roping. The double clip makes sense on a sport climb as well as you might be cleaning on the way down

[@erinschuld1686]

A lot of gyms will have to help teach climbers about sport climbing and how to properly set up a top rope and such. My gym actually requires us to clip both and to check if they are opposite and opposed before lowering! Just a way to constantly practice skills. You are protected by the gear below you so it isn’t such a big deal if the gear were to fail, inside or out!

[@samweiss3248]

You might have to change your name to the Leading Lemurs if you make enough of these :P

[@trigeektk]

More lead climbing!

[@micaelam.1155]

Joe kept making his fingers go through the quick draws when he was clipping

[@thenayancat8802]

I'm a noob so I may be wrong, but is it bad practice to clip as high as they are? eg, 6:41. I think because it means you've added twice as much slack as you would have if you'd climbed until you were about level with the carabiner

[@Nick-B78]

thenayancat Definitely especially when on the first 3 clips. After that it’s not so bad just because of the overall distance but yeah, if he’d have suddenly slipped while clipping, he’d have decked out for sure 😣

[@largeformatlandscape]

@@Nick-B78 Probably not when clipping the 3rd clip (not here anyway) i.ibb.co/YcZJPyD/deck.jpg

[@largeformatlandscape]

You actually fall the same amount regardless of if you clip at your waist or overhead. You end up further down the wall if you clip at your full reach though

[@Nick-B78]

Tim Parkin that’s actually not true. We tested this recently by having someone climb both on lead and a toprope. He clipped the 2nd draw and then went to clip the 3rd draw as early as he could but before actually clipping I took him on he toprope and he lead belayer held the exactly where it was before having taken any of he slack out as though he’d fallen. I then lowered the climber and turned out that even being lowered slowly so no rope stretch, his feet touched the ground. We then did the same thing but he him go for the clip with the draw at around chest height. When we lowered him down his feet were at leat 3 to 4 feet away from the floor

[@largeformatlandscape]

Which is why I said you fall the same amount but end up further down the wall if you clip at full reach

[@jwright7174]

[@largeformatlandscape]

Oh he's lead climbed before, I'm sure - just not a lot compared to the bouldering

[@chrishardy6471]

Tim Parkin definitely cause I’ve climbed a lot of lead and he’s way too smooth to be as new as they say lol

[@ripapa6355]

Tom, your're ascending using a great system, except you're missing a vital piece. Clip a biner in the bottom of your jug (jumar) and run the brake rope from your grigri through it. That way when you;re stepping up in your etrier you're pulling down on the rope. Much easier and effective.

AFAIK, you're supposed to secure at the hip, not reach for the clip like that. It should be safer. Maybe the routes are set differently where I'm from.
