Nikken and Robin's finger strength is so ridiculous. I always appreciate your top down filming angles Eric! Especially on overhung routes like this.

There ain't enough stars to give this video a proper rating! So much fun watching the whole process. Psyche all over! Robin clearly hast beast-tendecies. Nikken did 'his thing' as a setter and a climber ;) And Eric set everything in scene sooo nicely! Please more of this series!

Two things I love about this video: 1. Tiny terminator showing them kids how it's done :) 2. That you can really see in this video what every boulderer has experienced: you start working on something and everything feels really hard and awkward, but after some time all the holds and movements feel familiar and you even start to shortcut things - that's when you know you're gonna send it! Great video!

So rad to see Robin back part of the regular rotation... and climbing this strong!!? Holy f lmao ya'll are literally setting V13s in a gym and climbing around on them. That's gotta be so rare. Nikken has seemed on fire both with climbing and setting recently. Perfect host / team captain energy. EKB's filmography and content continues to be among the most entertaining on youtube IMO. This setting series has been so dope! Would def watch more episodes in this series and other ones like it. 10/10 will watch again

@editorbuck2 жыл бұрын
I think a cool idea for a setting video for Nikken would be to get the group to pick 5-6 holds in secret, and then bring them out one at a time, from largest to smallest, and Nikken doesn't get to see the next hold until he puts the current hold on the wall. No adjusting till everyone tries the first draft! I think that would be fun to watch Nikken guess what is coming next, and then to see the difference between the 'first draft' and whatever it looks like after everyone tries and he gets to adjust it.

That's a mega line! The whole sequence of moves is almost perfect. My only question is why did you have the other hold slightly to the right of the crimp that you rotated at 4:36min?? No one used it at any point and surely its not a blocker as it has way too much space (huge gap), whilst the move to the big right crimp is also way too static and controlled to need a blocker!!
