Pete is so comfortable with being uncomfortable that he doesn't realize how painful crack climbing is for normal human beings 😅 also it's mind blowing how well rounded he is, might not be the absolute best at anything but definitely up there in almost every style.

[@AxelStenson]

He is probably the best crack climber in the world (or at least he recently was), but yeah he is very well rounded.

[@CJski]

Pete is a freak, love to see his versatility get recognition. I was just talking about this the other day: who is the best climber in terms of hard sends in a variety of styles (slap, vert, steep, crack)? I can't think of anyone who has sent 5.14+ (9a) in each style. Tommy Caldwell, Carlo Traversi, and obviously Adam Ondra come to mind.

[@wircoal]

@@CJski Dave McLeod probably is really up there as a very strong jack of trades, 8C boulder, 9A sport, E 11 trad, freaking 8C free solo (what the hell), if i remember he repeated the some of the hardest Ice Climbing as well, the dude can climbing in a super fitness style overhang as well as being really really techy, and he still slap like 8b+ boulders at age 44. He's as well rounded as it gets

[@CJski]

@@wircoal of course! Idk how I forgot about Dave! Doesn’t really crack climb though.

[@wircoal]

@@CJski That's right ! Though trad climbing and crack climbing are really intertwined, and trad route often have some crack moves here and there so i can easily imagine him being good at it as well haha

[@Zekew24]

Watching Matilda climb her boulder, I didn't internalize how huge those moves are until I saw Emil have to literally jump and cut loose on like 4 moves in a row. Her crimp lockoff strength is unreal. And Pete is truly such a well-rounded climber. But Emil's boulder style is my favorite >:)

[@ahduhm]

seriously, I think I'd rip all of my pulleys attempting Matilda's route 💀

[@robertdavis1783]

Anyone who can honestly describe their favorite style of climbing as “squirming” is terrifying. Pete is an absolute beast. That said, Matilda’s boulder looked the hardest for my own style. Microscopic holds with garbage feet; I can hear my pulleys popping just watching it!

[@kd5nrh]

She referred to it as "minimalist" which is a huge understatement. I don't think you go any more spartan without just climbing the bolt holes and plywood edges. Watching her practically scramble it, I kept expecting a fall and a few changes right up until she topped.

[@aoibhinquinn7310]

I'm not very strong, and I especially don't have a lot of upper body strength, so I already struggle with overhang. I rely a lot on my dance training, on being able to balance almost indefinitely as long as I have a stable toe on the hold, so I think I'd be more able to try a boulder like Pete's than like the other 2 (although all of these are massively above my level, I just do this for fun)

[@Growlizing]

I could hear my fingers screaming in pain from those awful holds on Matilda's boulder

[@TheStuffofDaydreams]

It’s insane how easy each climber makes their signature climb look. It reminds me of the concept of having a random perfectly average person competing in the Olympics just for comparison. Mad respect for setting and trying such difficult boulders!

[@Nico-tm5lf]

It’s amazing to see what a well rounded climber Pete is. He’s not only one of the best crack and trad climbers in the world, he also shines on climbs like Matilda’s and Emils which aren’t usually his style. Stunning to see such a talented athlete

[@CJski]

Right?! One move away from climbing all of them.

[@hinglemingleberry253]

Yeah but he just skips the hardest parts of all of em. He really wimped out hard on this so hard

[@FlintMaskRadio]

@@hinglemingleberry253 but he literally only skipped the start of Emil’s and climbed all of his own and Matilda’s?

[@nadzianyx]

I'm so impressed with how Mattilda just elegantly swims from crimp to crimp. She inspired me to have an entire session just focusing on crimps

[@kft4764]

I think Pete's boulder had multiple positions and moves that the other two likely never experienced before. His style is so different from typical bouldering. It's like his route was in a completely foreign language.

[@kjartansyngrepaldan1645]

21:30 Pete: "That's just finger strength" Me: "And a hell of a lot pain tolerance!"

[@CB-ce6bk]

And a proper lot of crazy😂

[@olafolken]

Fab video for several reasons. 1) shows the amazing variety that exists in climbing; 2) shows how what's easy for some can be impossible for others (watching Emil fall off Mathilda's flash and vice-versa was great) and 3) how specialized most elite climbers become (except Pete, who is elite at everything apparently). I wish the IFSC would set more like this and reduce the endless parkour that competition climbing has become.

[@agp10701]

Totally agree with you

[@alexr3509]

Exactly!☝️ And there would be even more, e.g. slabs

[@durabelle]

(Of course Pete's been practising parkour lately and seems to be a natural in that too, so yeah, any style 😆)

[@sambeard4428]

Pete has this unhealthy trait of just doing something when he puts his mind to it. Pain can't stop him. You really see it by how nackered he is after that yellow boulder. He gives it everything like its a free solo attenpt. Amazing to see, also how he can do that time after time without any serious injuries.

[@arianacoleman7801]

Matilda was so supportive and made such a great route. So fun to watch her climb!

[@MyMusicSosa]

More videos like this please! This perfectly portrays one of the beauties of climbing, how effortlessly you find a climb of your style, and how impossible climbs of the anti-style feels.

[@lupo3694]

I very much enjoy this format and you guys are all incredibly good climbers. Emils problem looks straight up impossible to me, Mathilda is so graceful on the tiniest holds (9a, are you kidding me?) and Pete is probably my favourite climber to watch, even better when other super strong climbers try to repeat his routes. He is not only strong, his technical level is simply insane. I loved every minute of this.

[@MyMusicSosa]

This to me 🚬 is climbing. Seriously what a great video all the problems were insane. Mathilda’s boulder was so pure. Then the raw power of Emil and Pete’s insane boulder. I’m also really impressed by Pete, almost got all three, what a beast.

Pete woke up and chose violence on this one

Fantastic video. Such an interesting master class of differing strengths and how comfortable each climber on their own. Pete ... wow what a balanced climber, and seeing how hard he tries.. more please ... inspirational especially so being how supportive everyone is. What I love about climbing

[@benwolpert]

I feel like i naturally gravitate towards matilda’s style. I really like the way that that kind of climbing feels. Precise, fine tuned, controlled. It fits my perfectionistic side. But i also have learned to enjoy the full commitment style that you set Emil. Its so fun to have to pull hard, squeeze hard, commit, and just power through beyond what you think you can do. You really feel strong when you climb like that. Its very physical. Then Pete. I dont know what exactly to think about his. It is very traditional. Climbing the natural weaknesses in rock does often require visionary creativity and adaptiveness. The donut jam looked so cool. And ive definately encountered it in my trad climbing. The rest of the moves were just as obscure and unique. I think that its all climbing, its all beautiful, and it was amazing to see all of you succeed in your strengths and really show off, but also struggle and fight to adapt to a style that is less familiar. It just goes to show that climbing can take a moment to learn, but a lifetime to master. Very cool video.

[@kathrinakmusic]

For a second my youtube worlds collided as Emil said 'Let's get cracking' which is the standard and iconic opening line from one of my absolute favourite channels. Weird how deeply that's engraved to my brain. I loved this combo. Absolute beats in their own style. It's interesting to see the different approches and how everybody brings their style into the other boulders. Have to love the energy of Pete, he has an amazing try-hard mentality. Great video, thanks
