Back on this boulder 4 years later

[@Vilvee]

Cordi just breezed through Dodo! Those first few moves are tough as nails.

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

I certainly agree! She really surprised me with that one, made it look like a 6C...

[@Benkkuful]

stronk

[@EmileModesitt]

The speed with which you climb the first boulder is awesome. No time wasted, confident and precise movement. Love it 💪💪

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Thanks mate! I would max out at like 8A in this style if I weren’t allowed to move like that. I don’t get how people become so strong at slow movement

[@Jake-rf5gc]

Your videos are soooo good man!

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Cheers homie, I really appreciate that :-)

[@toaster6819]

Hard to believe it's only 8B if the sloper daddy can't flash it haha! love your vids Emil keep crushing!

[@vale999x]

I still remember meeting you in innsbruck and magic wood. Such a handsome and chilled guy even straight after waking up. Keep crushing emil.🤝

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Haha you're far too kind. Thank you!

[@juusoala-aho7338]

Nice to see you at åland! I tried the paskapäivä 8a there and hopefully hopefully will be one of many 8a climbs to come! Great videos man!

[@felix3821]

Cordi sending was so heartwarming and inspirationnal ! the whole video is so good too

[@diegoalen2131]

Your outdoors videos are getting better an better nonstop. Such beautiful shots, really professional looking production, im loving it

[@FraserCorrie]

Really like when you put up the highlighted hand diagrams to show where the contact is!

[@kavali6320]

'I don't feel strong, so maybe I am.' The skillsets from both of you grew visibly through the years and your climbing became literally more efficient although the boulders are harder gradewise ;) It was so nice to see how each send still makes you so happy :) Looking forward to part two.

[@maximebrassard2435]

Amazing vid, I like how you explain your thought process! Shots are on point too!

[@abbalos]

I need part two - genuinely awesome content Emil & cordi 👊

[@Benkkuful]

I've been waiting for this one! Awesome to see you climb at my favorite spot!

[@fontventures8398]

Love these types of videos! Great great sends from Cordi and you as well

[@jacobnieman7729]

Absolutely love the inclusions of where on the hands you are engaging. Really good insight into the boulder.

[@BorisDePooter]

Happy to see you two enjoying these boulders together! Looking both crazy strong!!

[@WILL_CLAY]

YESS!!! Cordi's stoke got me so hyped. Sending love you you guys!

[@lutherbrown8873]

I like the graphic that shows what part of your hands that is being used. Pretty cool!

[@Jackwithoneeye]

Putting out some amazing content lately Emil . The setting and rock look amazing hopefully one day I may find myself in this part of the world.

[@pastor11]

Great to see some affis-stuff, i think i will try dodo next spring😊 Good job Emil and Cordelia👍🏻

[@Xenetor666]

This video is so freaking cool! You both are so fun to watch. Love the boulders too and cant wait to see the 2nd part!

[@B_is_for_Bach]

Awesome video as always, you really captured the good vibes and stoke of a hard send!

[@choff-]

Super nice vibes in this vid -- not sure if it was the joy from sends from Cordi and yourself but very very fun video to watch, best of luck on the new project!!

[@davidbecker54]

You obviously have gotten way better at climbing! What I'm really curious about is the numbers? Do they point to you actually being weaker? The ever-present question in all of our climbing, to get stronger or better. And always, a mix of the two is the right answer I find. I, too, have had a bit of skill reversal, where some of my harder ascents now are compression/powerful climbs and years ago, I would have been climbing several grades below as you said.

[@timjames9592]

love your content man

[@timjames9592]

great video!

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Cheers homie, I appreciate that :-)

[@andm6847]

Ouch, first time I saw the hands with the contact area marked in red i screamed because i thought they were real and you destroyed your skin down to the bones!🤕 Use green or blue next time for the squeamish ones of us😆 Great video and great sends as always.

[@AwsomeNinja001]

Love the vibes!

[@SeppoIivonen]

Great stuff as always! Special kudos for the good pronunciation of Normipäivä 😊

[@SeppoIivonen]

Oh, and Cordi, that Dodo run! 🤌

[@kar0x]

awesome boulder§!

[@Masamaihari]

Åland looks awesome✨ It was great to see Cordi on the video too ☺️

[@gremlin64_]

super nice watch

[@mathiassimmons1766]

Awesome video. That red granite is beautiful.

[@aranna_]

love the videos lately!

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Thank you!

[@adsnra]

2:40 Emil the rapgod 😂

[@mykolakhodan]

I look at Cordi at 4:50 and see myself. Chalk everywhere - hands, sleeves, legs, chest, back, head and face 😅

[@ilian7646]

bangeeer

[@martinweriksson]

Sweating just watching it 🙈

[@sedistikbutnotreally6358]

Seeing your approach to hard outdoors climbing in such concise, well-edited videos is really quite excellent, not least of all because for me, indoor stuff is really the only easily accessible option. May I ask if you have any experience with youth climbing training? I’m 15 currently, and it’s kind of a struggle to sift through all the training resources online to find those that are applicable to young people (as training systems like hangboarding/campusing have specific risks for kids). Keep up the great work!

[@vicbroughton]

sick!!

[@justinehaffemayer981]

Always happy to watch you climb ! I'm curious, how tall is Cordelia ?

[@george1303]

beast mode

[@DunklerVater]

great video as always, really motivating! And seeing the parts of the hand which are engaged is cool too, but im not so sure if i agree with the color red, it looks like blood lol

[@MrGabblit]

Sick video! These boulders look nails. PS: What's a test piece? Have heard that term before in climbing vids.

[@maxdilcon5679]

Man I fucking love climbing. So pointless but possibly the most fun thing a human can do

[@Max_Hi_193]

Nice video :)

[@Perry0823]

I feel like I gain power from watching you climb

[@idontthinkithinkiknow2355]

What camera do you film your climbing with? The shots look great.

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Sony A7siii and tamron lenses :-) all in SLog3 and then playing with color grading . Thanks mate!

[@eurekaflows]

Was this shot before you got your Drone CS HV? Or do you think those shoes aren't suited for outdoors?

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

I had just gotten them, and not worn them in yet. I'm psyched to put them more to the test outdoors for sure, I think for some styles they could be insane actually, like small-edges in a roof, that kind of stuff

[@roowf4685]

GOOD

[@owynthebig5223]

Do any other climbers ever join you on accident on high graded projects or is that only intermediate climbs

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Hmm, funny question actually. It's happened quite a few times that people join who might not have climbed close to the grade before, but at those times it's been people who know me and are just psyched to have a session :P

[@shinraninja]

must be nice to have a partner that climbs thats been my dream for like 10+ years ;s

[@daanbel5533]

i love nitro its looks realy cool, can you drop the cordinates mabey? so i can try it this fall when i go there?

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

If you check on 27crags.com and search for it the coordinate will pop up at the sector! Btw, I would've responded with that regardless if the video was sponsored or not just fyi :P It's actually what I always use to navigate

[@daanbel5533]

@@EmilAbrahamsson okey thankyou!! I look forward to try it! And love the progress you make in just one session

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

@@daanbel5533 Cheers mate! Good luck on it, it's a crazy boulder :P

[@RealWorldClimbing]

So... would you say that skill development (per hour invested) carries more value than the common physical fitness tasks climbers often focus on?

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

For sure, because for every little incremental skill improvement you make you'll need less physical fitness. However, it's much easier to just train and not think, so becoming better isn't always an option, for some it comes very easy for others not so much. I'm probably somewhere in between, i'm not very naturally skilled but also I can learn with enough practice, if that makes sense.

[@RealWorldClimbing]

Also, love the hands with shading where connected to the rock

[@RealWorldClimbing]

@@EmilAbrahamsson It does make sense. Thank you for such a thoughtful answer.

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

@@RealWorldClimbing Anytime my friend! (or as often as I can to be honest haha)

[@mikehoward1114]

I've been climbing for 7 years and I still have no idea what 'testpiece' means

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

It actually comes very close to "classic", which funnily enough is also a term nobody actually knows what it means

[@colehibbard2851]

I’ve always understood it as something that’s solid at the grade, not downgrading a testpiece

[@samssends]

Is it just me or did you just start Eminem rap god at 2:43😂 fast as heckkkk

[@rickittyrickith7028]

I swear climbers only know 3 rock types, sandstone limestone and granite. And "granite" is usually wrong... smh...

[@leothegreygoose7657]

Great video. Hey Emil, are you still trying the big island? Any other 8C projects?

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Thanks! Trying is a bit of a stretch, but it's always in the back of my mind. I want to go back to france this winter, maybe early spring, to focus 100% on that one. I haven't been in great shape during the time I've climbed outdoors aside from the end of this summer, so there hasn't really been a good time for it. I'm heading to ticino in December to try if a new training routine i've been running is giving me valuable gains, and then I'll know my form better. I plan to try a lot of 8B+-8Cs there :-) I'd wanna do La Rustica and try Dreamtime, and get revenge on some of the ones I tried earlier this year
