Whenever I hear numbers on this channel I just ignore them, clearly all ability to count has been sacrificed for raw bouldering skill

@@deltaflux2381 that's fair, I think he was pretty controlled.. but I dont think we will come to an agreement on that. I do think we can both agree that it doesn't matter, it isn't a comp and its safe to assume he is climbing to have fun.

Been watching your videos since the start, Louis, when you were working with that American (I think?) guy who was just getting into climbing and had all the camera equipment. It's just awesome to see how far you've grown as a video maker and your climbing is, of course, inspiring as well. Time to chalk up, strap on my shoes and try this challenge for myself! (but more on the V4-6 scale of things)

I’d love to see Louis do some of the easier boulders. Gutted he wasn’t at the official opening on Good Friday. Just happened to be in the area and managed to take my dad and my son to check it out. Unfortunately and disappointing I failed the responsible adult check and so my 9 yr old boy wasn’t allowed to do any boulders 😢 I think it would have made up for it if he’d met Louis. Will you ever be visiting the walls in the West Midlands per chance?
@lucygraham129 ай бұрын
Really lovely seeing the difference between the different bouldering styles. Why all the push ups tho? I noticed you do them when you dont down climb on other vids. But this just looks like punishment? Doesnt look like that would help with positive mindset? Or is it just for fun as part of the challenge.. in which case i challenge you next one to hop on one foot 10 times instead 😂😂

Yeah, I haven’t a hope in heck of being able to do that for a long, long time, but I enjoy watching someone who can!
