at 8:30 what rating is that route?

[@dylandiblik502]

I am not from the UK and I have never climbed at Hangar, but I watch so many British climbers that I instantly recognize the purple dyno that Alex Waterhouse can do back and forth

[@fraz_the_mediocre]

Hahaha, I thought I recognised that dyno. Thanks for connecting the dots for me. 😂

[@parkerramthun]

I find this video so helpful to those of all climbing abilities. First off this guy climbing for 10 months ??? That’s actually amazing skill for only 10 months of climbing. PS you’re a blessing to the climbing community Josh

[@louisdown1506]

Thanks Parker !

[@missylarsson3517]

He said he did 3 years of calisthenics prior, I would imagine that would help with strength a lot compared to someone going in completely green. But I agree he’s really good for 10 months either way!

[@parkerramthun]

@@missylarsson3517 didn’t catch that but I’m sure that strength transfers but there’s no lie in that finger strength lol most people would be pumped out

[@JoshRundle]

Louis is really good isn’t he 💪. Aw thank you 😊

[@klutch505]

Dude is a freak. Only been climbing 10 months. He’s really good.

[@LadyLaddy]

It seems to be Josh trained a lot of callisthenics. His core is super strong, and watching him climb is super great. Also, I like you two climbing together. Nice team :)

[@Oachlkaas]

Great video, as always. But man, i'm just always so jealous at how "empty" the climbing gyms are... My city (around 130k ppl) only has one lonely gym and no matter the time of day it's always packed with people. At what times do you usually go?

[@louisdown1506]

Luckily because of our work we can go off peak... and as soon as the camera comes out people do tend to stay out of shot!

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you! Yea we are really lucky that when we film we can do it in the day when it’s quiet. Wow that one gym must get a lot of traffic, maybe you need to pursued them to open another one 😃

[@muumarlin1731]

Great video! Love the concept of comparing a relatively new climber with someone who's got more experience. It's great to really see it and pay attention to the details. Very instructive!

[@Viber0ptics]

Tell Louis to have more confidence in himself. Before almost every boulder he says that he’ll miss it, even though he still makes it.

[@JoshRundle]

I agree! He’s a really good strong climber. We talked a bit about that towards the end of the video.

[@Viber0ptics]

@@JoshRundle yeh i just got to that part lol, you’re a good teacher.

Thanks man, didn't even realise until Josh pointed it out, it did help a lot to have confidence!

[@Viber0ptics]

@@louisdown1506 Keep it up. I still catch myself saying stuff like that too sometimes. I recently started climbing 4 months ago, and i used to do calisthenics like you. Seeing you do those hard climbs is pretty inspirational. Right i can do up to v4

[@louisdown1506]

@@Viber0ptics keep it up man! Thank you so much, happy to hear it

[@SwitchUpYt]

I'd love to know the grades rather than (or in addition to) easy, medium etc if possible

[@JoshRundle]

I know me too but they gym doesn’t have grades and I didn’t want to guess so thought I would stick to their grading system

[@julessisti]

Again, another strong video. Enjoyed that one a lot! Nice synergy you can build up with your guests!

[@lukethompson4167]

I've been climbing a year and half now and I'm still yet to top a white at the hanger... 😢

[@ctogive]

the guy did calisthenics for 4 years, i think that strength transfers very well.

[@lukethompson4167]

@@ctogive yh if you were to transfer from anything calisthenics would be the one. turns out my 3 years of training in the gym doing 1 rep maxes really does not translate to pulling off 10mm edges

[@louisdown1506]

@@ctogive it's one less thing to think about when you have the base, I've found even basic weightlifting translates more than you think

[@JoshRundle]

Whites are hard! You’ve got it though 💪, I believe

Thank you Josh for another great video! Been waiting for this one and they always make me smile 😊 honestly you should deserve more credit! Keep them coming 👌😊

[@huginsamuelsen]

Great video! I would love to see you do some more board climbing though :D Maybe a cheeky Kilter Board shesh? :D

[@JoshRundle]

We actually filmed a kilter board video the day we filmed this so watch this space 👀😃

[@adamdecoder1]

What are the actual grades like in this gym? For someone 10-months in to be climbing the hardest set routes (usually v10-v12 for indoor boulders) is pretty unheard of. Congrats to him though.

[@JoshRundle]

There are no actual grades, just the colour bands I put on the screen. The whites I would say at a guess are anywhere from V4-V6. They are not the hardes the hardest is yellow and black, with black being the hardest.

[@adamdecoder1]

@@JoshRundle Gotcha. Still very impressive!

[@kieran7655]

If Louis went at that pink fresh, he'd have flashed it, 100%.

[@Candesce]

I'm sure this has been said somewhere in the comments, but I'd just like to point out for anybody watching this video who is not informed, that this is not normal climbing progression after 10 months haha. The calisthenics background must have a lot of crossover with climbing.

[@TurdPrincess]

omg

[@guest1754]

20:25 man just went from "I'm gonna fall off" to "Flash" in a matter of seconds and almost completed the route

[@asterixzm]

Nice I got my first v8 in first 10 months... Now i climb 2,5 years and that still my first v8 ive done)

FIRST!!!

[@Jtlxpe]

I would like to see this with someone who did not do calesyinics prior to climbing. It feels a bit like cheating because i would say that the cross over from that to climbing is as close as it gets when compared to other sports.

A video I can relate to

[@maertsnosmirc]

Lol watching the powder splash while scooping during the ad was probably the most relatable part

[@JoshRundle]

Haha I think it’s impossible to avoid 😅😂

[@GucciFeet]

I notice Josh is more able to speak while climbing than Louis and has developed more good habits like switching feet more properly and safely and observing all the holds, and brushing all the holds before the climb. Stamina is a slight difference as well although I'm not sure how much rest you guys have in between cause he seems to breathe harder than Josh. This us just my observation though i could be wrong. BTW, this is an awesome video. I've been climbing for 3 months now and I've only started doing v5 regularly. Louis is insane!!

[@louisdown1506]

Man.. 3 months and V5? Thats harder than I was climbing at that point! And yeah, I think I need to rest more.. and maybe do some cardio

[@JoshRundle]

I think that has probably all come with a lot of practice and the time I’ve been climbing. But when I’m trying climbs at my max I definitely can talk still and breath heavier. Wow V5 in 3 months is awesome 💪! Louis is awesome, great climber 🧗‍♂️
