This is one of the videos i'm the most psyched on in a long time, a video with Anna Hazelnutt climbing on one of the most scary and intriguing climbs I've ever seen. The boulder is called "Push The Sky", an 8A/V11 (?) boulder that stands about 10 meters tall, with a spicy crux just before the top. We follow Anna's journey towards trying the boulder without a rope, and also ask the question weather or not it's even a good idea.

Heyo everybody! I hope you liked the video :-) It was a personal favorite of mine to edit, and I hope it shows through to you all! Little sidenote: the boulder was graded 7C on top rope, but after asking around it seems it’s well in need of an upgrade, hence the 8A grade. Most guidebooks will say 7C though :-) Make sure to follow Anna Hazelnutt on youtube for more of her crazy ascents and adventures, she's a fantastic nut in real life and someone to keep an eye on. Also, here's the link to the patreon for anybody who wants to contribute to help me & cordi out in the future: www.patreon.com/emilabrahamsson . Hopefully you all enjoy what we post there also. The podcast has been a long time in the making and we're really psyched to keep it going! Thanks a ton for watching, see you in the next one my homies

[@1Joren]

Well whatever the right grade is, the balls on that girl are unquestionably grade "steel".

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Emil, I’m just honored! Thank you so much for this gift of a video. Had so much fun climbing with you and Cordi for the short while I was in Magic Wood 🧙🏼‍♀️🥰💫

[@Daniele.Rossini]

You are beautiful! So inspiring to watch! Good job for the send and the perfect climb! Also this sh*t was scary as f*ck to watch! 😱🙈💪💪💪

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Thanks homie

[@nickhenscheid369]

Pretty sure you could do Too Big to Flail at some point, seems similar in style (but just a touch higher!)

[@michmosh89]

This is so cool and inspirational as a fellow female climber. Well done Anna, you are badass! 👏🤩🇬🇧

[@SkyeEyeSightings]

You are an absaloute savage. Awesome effort.

[@BerndZangerlBouldering]

I have climbed this line 22 years ago.....on toperope.....great to see that it got a pad ascent :-) congratulations Anna !!!!!

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Hey Bernd! Cool to see you here, and thank you for everything you've done for climbing! You're an inspiration to us all :-)

[@BerndZangerlBouldering]

@@EmilAbrahamsson thx for the nice video ....was great to see !!

[@kojak406]

Unbelievable that that line never have been climbed without rope before. Great video and thanks for the motivation!

[@slobodanbulovic9385]

Is it really 9m? Looks different on video

[@urabagofcells2228]

@@slobodanbulovic9385 oh hush

[@HoopersBeta]

Your storytelling and camera work is getting so good 👏

[@Ben-ew3hv]

the bravery to get back on after 2 massive falls like that is wild

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

I couldn't agree more!

[@ATjfds]

I read this at the start of the video, I was expecting a drop at the start, not at the 7m high crux. What a champ

[@nobodyknew]

yeah especially the way that spotter cranks her fackin' neck at 15:15.....

[@rebeccaevans1786]

Seeing Anna's elation when she completed this made me tear up - really powerful

[@anaismnzn5820]

Anna is so brave, she took 2 high falls, she didn't give up and made it to the top.... i couldn't be more impressed !! She is so inspiring !! ps : the way this is fimed is just awesome too !! :)

[@kavali6320]

Is she the queen of slab or what?! Such an incredible highball climb on actual 'microscopic' holds. Well done Anna! Special thumbs up to Emil as videographer, editor and storyteller, beautiful work. Kudos to Felix and Cordi as spotters ;)

[@flusck]

I'm relatively new to bouldering and I can barely hang on a 12mm edge for a few seconds with both hands. Actually pulling on these holds that are hardly 5mm sounds absolutely disgusting to me, even more so for highballing.

[@willsillett1832]

Honestly one of the best climbing video's I've seen in such a long time. Thank you so much for everyone involved, incredible performance from Anna.

[@bjbboy71697]

This was my favorite climbing video I watched today. And Shawn Raboutou's V17 came out today on mellow. This is why I love climbing, for moments like this!

[@areichental]

11/10 catches guys. Holy smokes that was scary and you saved lives and the send. And hot diggity dog what a send!

[@samphillips4851]

I just watched the Mellow video today. Great video, but Emil this video left me HYPED!! The way you pieces it together combined with Anna just being Anna made me so happy

[@janneknaumann7399]

wow, just wow. i almost never comment videos, but this is such a pleasure. the filming, the joy and excitment of anna, the gimmics like the progression-bar on the left, the commentary while looking on the climb and the showcase of the holds...and i´m just halfway through this video :)

[@lenardvandermaas6893]

This was such a joy to watch! I could just feel the stoke through the screen and the way you edited it made it so much better. Thanks for creating this!

[@aidanloeser4890]

What an incredible video and send! "my heart's beating like a frickin toaster" also hi Felix and Cordi

[@domenichughes7792]

I'm ordering a stethoscope off Amazon so I can listen to my toaster now

[@M0dElite]

Haha! That was gold! 😂

[@meganwong9508]

What a beautiful video! I loved being able to see a bit the thought process and journey behind Anna tackling down this climb. I thought the videography/edit was really well done, too, really felt like we were there in the moment. Thanks as always for the great videos and congrats to Anna for absolutely crushing it. Her send had me a little teary eyed near the end :')

[@DerFrange1]

This is a masterpiece! Huge congrats to Anna for sending this last minute, incredible head game getting back on this wall after the falls

[@TIO540S1]

Wow, what a great video! One of my all-time favorites. Anna’s joy was infectious and seeing her work her way, step by step, to the send was amazing!

[@jjorm]

Anna, your expression afterward gave me goosebumps. You're an inspiration!!

[@Cheifio]

Great capturing the whole process, so good to see Anna nail it in the end. Some of Emil's one liners cracked me up, "my heart was beating like a fricking toaster" and the sarcastic tone that he described the holds, even if unintentional "let's hope she doe's it" were golden.

[@ReaperUnreal]

This video was SO GOOD! The videography, the climbing, the hype. That was incredible.

[@chopsjazz1]

Awesome work and videography. I like her thoughtful, methodical approach to dialing the beta. My favorite part? "Oh my god, my heart is beating like a fricking toaster!" Like a toaster? That's a new one for me.

[@alvaroc6326]

Incredible, what a climber and such a positive and beautiful energy as a human being. This for sure is one of my favourite climbing videos.

[@laurindamasonrealtor1925]

I think the part where Anna said people say it's so scary and she said, I'm just top roping, I'm not thinking about soloing yet is exactly what I need to work on. Hyperphantasia can be crippling to progress. Don't think to the what ifs or this will be so scary once...just focus on right now you are safe. Great lesson!!

[@kiralycsavo0]

That elation at 8:24 was amazing to watch 😊It’s a wonderful video, thanks to Anna for climbing and to Emil for the filming and editing. (Plus the spotters who kept Anna safe.)

[@loejohn509]

The quality of this is so good! Beautiful photography, great storytelling, awesome job to all involved!

[@dexterbjuveus6056]

The consistency of great quality is absolutely absurd! Another fantastic video with a gripping story!

[@moonlight00001]

Did not expect to cry, but yet here we are. Awesome video, Anna is incredible !!!

[@tomharrisisacommonname]

Maybe my favourite ever climbing video!! So inspiring (and so emotional!)

[@schnibbelschnibbel]

saw the thumbnail. saw the channel name. clicked instantly. this is more captivating than Alphane!

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Haha dang that's one lovely ass compliment. Thank you for that!

[@alexandrewcoronel]

Emil "OMG my heart is beating like a freakin toaster" Abrahamsson! haha x) Well done Anna! Greetings from Orange County! Sick ass video!

[@paulmitchell5349]

Always a pleasure to see Anna's enthusiasm and self belief.

[@django9713]

I'm so God damn proud to see her get the send on this. Love watching Anna's journey, so inspirational! Sick editing aswell big up for this

[@ezrabyrne3793]

Anna!!! Daaaaamn, super impressive! Though wouldn’t expect any less from you 💪🤩🙌 What a dream line 😍 great to see you crushing more and more by the vid!! You’re looking somewhat unstoppable 😅 And Emil, super sweet edit - crushing it with the filmmaking here ❤️💛💚

[@gergelymartonffyclimbing]

This video was perfection. Amazing quality, gripping story, beautyful colors and fantastic editing. And the pure joy of success on Anna is exeactly why we climb. This video should be show to people, who asked: What is so amazing in this sport?

[@AndeeRoemoe]

Incredible story! Well done Anna and well done Emil!

[@81eLian]

Beautiful, your display of climbing, the process. It feels like watching an artist notion, in the creative process of creating a work of art❤

[@alixvolte]

Thank you Emil for this beautiful video! The storytelling and editing are great. Congrats Anna for the send! It’s impressive and empowering to witness such determination. And your climbing style is so graceful to watch!

[@GranZebru]

What a great boulder! I saw it many years ago while climbing Blue sky of mine and dreamed of climbing it one day. Congratz to Anna for the ascent!

[@deslomator]

I've never liked and commented on a dangerous climb, but I made and exception because of your storytelling and, well, Anna.

[@RedGazelle1367]

Such an outstanding video! I love the interviews and the buildup of drama. Anna is such an awesome personality, it was great seeing her face the challenge.

[@kikolification]

thank you so much for the video and the 21/9 format

[@mattbrown3603]

That was a great thing to watch. Probably the best bouldering film (if I can call it that) I’ve seen for years. Wonderful.

[@keithwilliams3855]

Amazing to watch my two favorite youtubers together! And seeing the send gave such an emotional reaction. Incredible and inspiring. This is what your channels are all about.

[@dave990]

What a great watch! Anna's bravery and commitment to send that during such a short window of time is inspirational!!

[@cato8286]

Well, I cried. Epic work all round

[@ryan.3950]

Even though I knew she ultimately sent it before I watched the video, I was still on the edge of my seat watching this! Amazing!

[@stechurchill154]

Fantastic film Emil, thank you for making this! Anna is such an inspiration and the vibe really comes through! Well done Anna!

[@JamesJeffrey1995]

Amazing climb and amazing footage. This is one of the best climbing videos ive ever watched

[@rhettetherington1351]

Absolutely incredible. Congratulations Anna. Brilliant video and editing was on the edge of my seat.

[@joshuameier378]

Damn what a stellar video! And that stoke of hers is infectious, amazing work all around!

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

Dude I already knew it but Anna is a bonafide badass…..WOW!!! Great video Emil🤙🏽

[@MrNa2396]

It's basically free solo at this point ! Congrats Anna !

[@mirandamccoubrey1714]

Anna...you're so inspiring! Way to kick butt!!💪💪

[@el3xg373]

One of the greatest climbing vids I have ever seen. No words.

[@alexanderboll8028]

Love the detail of progress bar plummeting at 14:40

[@dave_h_8742]

I didn't see the progression bar as only on a Samsung phone till turning it vertically.

[@whelmking6497]

She has such an infectious psych. And such a beast. And another great vid.

[@Candesce]

I thought this was just going to be a dialled and send video, I did not expect Anna to fall at all. I can't believe she went for it twice after that, amazing.

[@GlowingShutter]

Wow Anna. I thought I would not see more nerve wracking stuff than your British trad experiences. I was wrong. What a psychological achievement!

[@natalieminnis]

This is a magical film. Beautifully made. Amazingly climbed!

[@Punchybarnard]

its hard to capture pure happiness. But really great to see it on full display here, Amazing vid Emil, Rediculous send Anna.

[@grafzhl]

Super cool video! And such a rewarding ending :D Small feedback regarding the editing: your footage is so wonderful, and while the graphic overlay of her progress was helpful in the beginning, I think it became a bit redundant later on, and took away a little form the aesthetics of the phenomenal footage. Cheers!

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Heyo! Thanks for the feedback, greatly appreciated! After a few days of letting the video just be out there without rewatching it in editing I can definitely agree, would've been a bit better without it for parts of the video 🙂

[@fontventures8398]

Well done Anna and incredibly well captured in the video Emil. I teared up - beautiful

[@cristianpop2151]

Such a gem of a video! Great job Emil and congrats to Anna!

[@linkamus]

I think this is the best climbing video I've ever seen.

[@ozamram]

Wow such a sick climb and edit!! Some unreal headgame from Anna being totally unrattled by those two giant falls

[@jaimseygirl2594]

Most insane, amazing climb. 😍😍 Such an incredible video too, loved every second of it! 💛

[@rw7446]

Amazing video Emil. Even more amazing perseverance Anna, absolute display of what a human can do with some grit and determination!! Awesome send.

[@leedarkin-miller7685]

Amazing! Well done! 👏

[@vanmanivan]

Excellent video, Emil, and well done Anna.

[@matteobecchi1210]

Amazing to see Anna excitement and positive attitude! It's contagious. Awesome climb and awesome video!

[@krimpss]

great video, wild how she was basically levitating on the send

[@neilrankin4133]

A very nice looking boulder and a great head point ascent.

[@johng5185]

I love pulling out the ropes on a high ball/solo ,and then working it to death. It's a nice change from the gym and reg old pad sessions.

[@sovereignyx3158]

There is so much love in this video!! Big props!!!

[@Hopesfallout]

Wow absolutely sick! Wish I had the balls...and technique...and the flexibility...and crimp power :D Also the psych from the vid is unreal, awesome editing, so much energy!

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Thanks! Appreciate the hype :-)

[@keving9027]

I love Anna's reaction pure joy!!! Nice job

[@siuseki]

You (all of you) make me so happy with these vids!

[@goartist]

my 2 fav climb-tubers in 1 video, aaaawesome !!

[@bloodink9508]

True feelings. Beauty and joy. The heft of it is palpable. Thank you.

[@philipking3010]

wow, awesome climbing Anna, and Emil, damn that's some edit. (although my heart has never beat like a toaster, curious :) )

[@bluepalmsmusic]

Best video so far, Emil! Well done!

[@DanishMule]

amazing! Your outdoor stuff is just amazing! GJ!

[@donkyuhbuhts540]

I personally feel like calling it a "freesolo" when you have crash pads is not exactly accurate. Regardless, EPIC climb! The tenacity to get back on after those falls, truly a rare breed! Totally awesome footage and loved the little graffic on the left.

[@geraltlamb9566]

Superb video as always! The high ball route looks super scary….

[@felixd1127]

In this horrible times for me (my wife left me with my 6 years old daughter) your video gave me back a little motivation. Thank you Anna and Emil

[@joshlevin22]

Pure emotion at the moment of the send 🙌🏼

[@chrisstaniforth5629]

Awesome video!! Amazing Anna as always!!

[@lennart5919]

Just WOW, her headgame is inspiring!

[@worldsaways717]

As a lover of tiny crimps and slabs, this is SICK!!! So fricken cool…..

[@FurrychalkbagOutdoors]

Great reaction at the top..!! Well done Anna.!!👏

[@shokland]

That was crazy scary! What an absolute badass, Anna is!

[@simplycatsvets]

Brilliant EEE I was Entertained, Enlightened and Educated ... very well done to video and climbing crew, keep it up.

[@donclever2230]

So nice to see, really feel so much emotion watching this, great job

[@axelstromback7290]

Thank you! This was an amazing video!

[@RealWorldClimbing]

Oh... my... goodness!!! Congrats Anna! Ridiculous!

[@dendemann1992]

Wow! Just wow! I remember climbing Blue Sky of Mine the first time and someone telling me there's a much harder route on the left of it. I saw the almost non-existing holds and thought to myself "How in hell is that possible". Now I got the answer! So impressive.

[@midwesteigensheaf]

Incredible send and incredible video!
