Finally something too hard for Louis?

[@Tony_fvb]

"It's a stupid climb for stupid people".....never have I identified more with Louis, hahahaha

[@nilsp9426]

Congratulations to the "stupid climb for stupid people" (they should hang a sign there) to finally beating Louis. Not many climbs can say that!

[@bikerbob182]

I was like, hey that's my saying! lol

[@patrickmuller3248]

I JUST did a climb today that I marked as one of those stupid climbs before 😀

[@DasWieselInFlames]

"Stupid climb for stupid people" and walking away is me 90% of my session

[@wellbornyouth]

I feel like there should be a word or phrase for when a new route gets put up right in the middle of another and completely breaks it. Best I've been able to come up with is 'getting rock-blocked' 🤷‍♂

[@projecteer4498]

Yeah, it’s super interesting seeing that happening here. At my home gym (and all the gyms in the city) they just reset a wall or two once or twice a week and replace all the climbs on that wall. The wall is closed for the day (normally during non-busy hours or while the gym is closed) and when it’s back open all the problems are new. So when the climbs are getting forerunning, all the holds are there and that issue doesn’t arise. Occasionally a set will take a bit longer and they’ll open it in the middle of the process, but that’s just one or two days max that have some slightly different movements in them from the other holds before they finish setting.

[@wellbornyouth]

@@projecteer4498 Oh that's an interesting approach. It makes a lot of sense though! With the exception of the comp wall, my local gyms tend to having rotating colour system. So all the White hold climbs will come down for a couple of days and be reset, for example. Then next week all the Greens. But those climbs will be scattered throughout whole gym.

[@carrier6202]

@@projecteer4498 This is actually how it works at HarrowWall (where he is in this vid) with the exception of the purple project climbs.

[@alexgalays910]

That's also how it works in France/Paris: they always redo an entire area/profile at once. I think it usually takes them 1-3 hrs.

[@bonobo2181]

@@projecteer4498 As I understand it, the project climbs stay up for longer as they typically take much longer to solve. The rest of the wall gets reset in one go as you describe

[@RimshotKiller]

From 8:14 onwards it looks like adult version Louis is working hard on his project while little version Louis is shaking it in the background :D

[@ekrass]

8:22 the kid shaking his chalk bag

"holds may spin"?? well you better put some more supprt screws in then.

[@bananasundae4462]

I’ve been to like 10 different climbing centres and every single one has had that sign. I think it it just a regulation to warn people

[@Dave1507]

@@bananasundae4462 Ah, i see, I'm not from the UK and thus have never seen such a sign in any gym over here.

basically just for insurance. never seen an instance of them spinning

Red flag for gym quality

[@bolderam]

@@bbfletch268 lmao it isn’t almost every british climbing gym has it

[@chrisembryclimbing]

So awesome to see "the real" side of climbing, the many failures that make up the sends when they do finally happen. The frustration of not sending pushes me to work harder....but most importantly, smarter rather than harder.

[@thehyperluz]

I actually get more motivated on the no send days, it's fun to work on your own weaknesses and see yourself improve over time 😁

[@nilsp9426]

I like the package of a non-send day and the inevitable success that comes from it some time later!

[@saisaivipa]

Yeah, been working on a project for 3 sessions now. Been adding 1 more move each time. Felt super proud each time 😆Will try again this sunday and hopefully send it this time!

[@duck075]

I have never seen Louis so frustrated! I've watched a bunch of your videos, this one has absolutely made me laugh the hardest. Outstanding!

[@patrykstaniszewski1668]

LOVE this kind of video. Love the trying hard, and love to see that Louis might actually be a human afterall

[@markusmuller65656]

The videos got so much better. Thanks Omar!

[@boulderer3]

i love that kid dancing in the background and shaking his chalkbag on the climb between the training walls

[@kewinner1203]

8:22 the child in the background xD

[@jamesbolland6385]

Vibing with the music :D

[@palomacarrion2356]

So relatable! (at a much easier grade, though!) Keep them coming, nice effort Louis!

[@zeta7988]

Love the honest videos about failure! It's something so important to implement in your mindset, take the fall instead of hopping off!!! To learn, you NEED failure.

[@jordiespinafont2984]

So good to see your thought process on hard climbs. Imma watch this vid 3 times and take notes of your ponderings and thoughts between rests, fr.

[@awkwardturtle77]

"they're all upside down" is definitely relatable

[@Voidload]

8:22 look left in the background, there is a nice dancer! hahahaha made me laugh xD

[@michaelschwarzer9284]

It‘s always hard for me to see YOU struggle Louis, cause you’re one of my favorite climbing/bouldering heros.

[@alienfish8396]

If you don't fail, then you weren't trying in the first place. Tenacity. Persistence. And then one day when the hard work pays off.....joy.

[@ireniancc]

gee that intro was so smooth i think you should do it every video 😌😝

[@Theboardbro]

I’m loving these types of vids!!

[@paulkrellwitz5974]

Really appreciated seeing all the try hard, the challenge and the progress. Incremental progress is still progress to take satisfaction in and build on.

[@gongo11gongo]

Amazing vid, really love to see the process, not only the success

[@Matthew_McRae]

I really appreciate your advice about paying dues and understanding there will be a lot of sessions where you'll be shot down before you're able to send. If climbing were easy, then it wouldn't be as fun and rewarding.😁🤟🏻

[@FirstnameLastname-ge3xy]

Prefer these kind of videos, love seeing the hardest boulders

[@paulgaras2606]

I love problems where the first four holds are chalked into oblivion and the last two are spotless. It lets you know exactly how far everyone else got. There was I did recently where I actually took the route in a totally different direction because the red holds looked pink from the chalk.

[@emilyditro5276]

Watching your videos has kept my climbing exciting! I was climbing with my partner and I was talking in the lingo and looking at boulders from a problem solving POV and he was like “uhhhh I can tell you’ve been watching too many catalyst climbing videos” HAHA but visiting London in Nov, hope to run into you!!!

[@LiamFyfe]

Haha i set the last slot stabber, cant believe there still up louis!

[@stachefonzi]

the easy sends are warm ups. the most of the fun happens after that.

[@MaxLBogue]

Most relatable video yet!

[@HansNussbaum]

Let's get to it!

[@bjornhanke6737]

So Louis is human after all :P

[@elijahbierbrauer9866]

It would be fun to know the grades of the climbs

[@althejazzman]

I would love to see a demo from the person who set these seemingly impossible problems.

[@patrickmuller3248]

watch the little guy in the background to the left around 8:20 :D

[@kennethduncan4643]

Actually this helps a lot bc I just got my ass HANDED to me by some outdoor problems that are rated v0

[@alexgalays910]

a V0 in Bleau is probably on average 800 times harder than a V0 in a gym haha.

[@danrkelly]

'Course we liked it, Louis.

[@loading4386]

How often does Louis climb?

[@chrzzzzz]

Highlight of the vid: the kid who starts wiggle dancing at 8:20

Such a finger-healthy route yeah.

[@alexgalays910]

the one with the blockers? jesus...

[@mikahfeldman-stein3470]

The audio recording quality of the voice during the ad was terrible. There was so much noise in the recording that I had to skip. To be fair I would have skipped it anyway...

[@BoulderingBobat]

[@stachmantel5593]

For the bouldering noobs on the first route what was the difference between the first succes and the second?

[@martairla9578]

He started in the middle on first attempt, and then repeated from the start when he had tried all moves

[@cheetoritos]

Is Omar filming this?

[@the_redpandas]

Wait hold on cause Ive been to a lot of climbing gyms but that's the first time I've seen a holds may spin sign ( 1:43) idk if thats just cause the holds are old. But doesn't seem very practical or safe? Good that they warn you but still
