INSANE CLIMBING CHALLENGE

[@AndrewMacFarlane]

Anyone else out there want to try the challenge? Should we make this into a charity event?

[@leonthenice3568]

That‘s such a good idea! I‘d love to see that happening

[@TravellerASMR]

Andrew MacFarlane yes to event!

[@smyteyouall8256]

Yes, if I lived in London

[@ontheballcity71]

Looks fun, but beyond my ability. I tend to fall off most v3s I try.

[@Srcrustaceo]

Is Uber allowed? :P

[@sacorbitt]

When are Louis and Magnus going to do a collab?!?!?

[@chrismccartney1]

Wait wait, this was the day after the BBC semifinals, which Louis was *in*. The man is bonkers.

[@mayawitters]

Can we get the secret to Louis' seemingly unlimited supply of energy? Is it just bananas and ice cream?

[@mayawitters]

@Peter James he just ate a cornetto onscreen...

[@petereames3041]

It's passion

[@thesouljacker1291]

Wait... did Louis just bike/climb around London for almost 7 hours and then campus a V9?!!? I'm never complaining about being tired a few hours into a session ever again.

[@CryotechNinja]

I don't even think Louis is human. Like, you think he's mortal and struggling, but then HE JUST KEEPS GOING. I will meet this man one day in hopes of leeching some of that power through a handshake.

[@David-ud9ju]

10:56. Andrew's struggling while a little girl is just beasting a jump into a mantle.

[@KaleGenome]

"pffffft what a clickbait title........... nope that's actually insane".

[@driklol]

Andrew I really appreciate the effort in the videos, thanks for the uploads. Also I fucking love Louis, his energy is inspiring

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

Louis is so optimistic and positive haha... the cool down cycle!!! Great vid guys, appreciate the content :-)

[@stefanwossner2007]

Thanks Andrew for this amazing content and Louis is seriously badass!

[@matthewbowers88]

I just rolled in from a half night shift. Got in at 02:50. Cup of tea, wind down, head to bed... bit of KZbin to help relax. Now I’m screaming at the tele! GO ON! YOU GOT THIS.

[@SethPierceClimbing]

Truly two icons in bouldering. Keep crushing.

[@nathanmcninch420]

That looks like so much fun. I wish that my gym had some permanent wooden problems. Always enjoy seeing Louis climb, great to see Andrew climbing too, I think you should try to do V6 or even V7 next time.

[@fritzbox6764]

next time 😉

[@caiocipolatti3030]

Louis is just insane!! Thank you for the awesome content!!

[@andresrosales3466]

Really appreciate your commentary on things you're learning while climbing with Louis. Keep making great content dude!

[@Condrall]

Totally love your way of making videos! The videos are so full of energy. You both make a great team (+ it's nice to see "average" people climb so i can relate better and don't feel intimidated :D). And btw. your intro is superb, looks so professional.

[@chrzzzzz]

Louis at the end: me after 4 climbs

[@jamesherman6311]

This is pretty awesome. You guys are top notch. Thanks for the awesome content and for insane work ethic. Makes me want to push myself more and more

[@wolfemooney7188]

This is the one time the use of all-caps in the title is not only appropriate, it’s necessary.

[@tinidavies6531]

This is brilliant! Also, your film-making is amazing, thanks Andy and Louis!

[@irvine5732]

That was absolutely bonkers. Great stuff

[@Gnocchigrips]

Nice content! I did 64 climbs at my local gym (v0-v10) which took me almost 2 hours and I was totally wrecked afterwards. Really impressive seeing both your and louis fitness throughout the 7 hour endeavor.

[@ignazrosenbaum3175]

you guys are insane, in the best possible way :D great stuff, thank you

[@davidpeltz7900]

Just a question....LCC have opened up RavensWall as well (at Ravenscourt Park) and I wondered if that has Permasets as well? I also heard they have secured a location to build another in Canary Wharf also, so your "charity event" could be 6 walls and cover north, west south and east london!!

[@ETMartians]

Great video. Louis is insane. Make sure he takes rest days dude. Would hate to have a dude like that get injured making crazy challenge content.

[@cameronmaclean4014]

Thank you so much for this episode my favourite one so far keep up the amazing videos 👊

[@NickB-zc2kq]

That was so sick! Great work guys

[@MovementForBJJ]

Amazing episode! A lot of hard work on the day and even more editing!...Sam😊🤙

[@BAMBOOZLEDBADGER]

Think you need to try this again but with this addition of Canary, Kendall and Ranven's wall!

[@climbinggymnetwork1019]

Thanks for the tip about the thumb. No one ever told me that. It's amazing though how such a little thing and make all the difference.

[@GeoToxicated]

Im going to end up doing the V1s to V4s and an extra 550 push ups at each centre

[@JCesarH]

You have an awesome intro to your videos, Andrew!

[@samh9642]

This is like the bouldering equivalent of an ultramarathon... fucking nuts

[@Ruinari]

This challenge seems incredibly grueling. Love it! Quality content.

[@stephenyorkie]

Awesome challenge, well done you guys! Some quality editing here Andrew, really enjoying the content. Keep up the good work.

[@faraz2498]

That 'V4' at Harrowall is so hard!! I must have tried it 20 times already > next time do the ride on an ebike :)

[@reggielongstroke7980]

That was great!! Best video you have done so far!! Keep the content coming :D

[@stuartjohnson7930]

Amazing video such a good concept! Can't wait to see more

[@BlocBusters]

HOW much energy does Luis have? He just never gets tired, doesn't he?

[@oliveresposito4948]

Anybody know if these climbs are still there? I’m working in Harrow soon, hopefully I’ll get some time to go!

[@viviebojilov6]

Great episode! Really enjoyed it.

[@Siggvard]

28:59 Now that's a hold I'm used to. ;)

[@Bobbzorzen]

Nice

[@TobyClimbs]

Next big-wall climbing

[@Davidsc0000]

Hey Guys, is it possible to make a video on injuries? I currently struggle with my ringfinger tendons, wrist tendons and epicondylitis. Despite resting and less training volume the pain returns time and time again. I boulder for about 2 years now, training 2-4 times per week depending on the pain. Thanks in advance!

[@AndrewMacFarlane]

I've got something in the works on this topic. I'm going to be talking with a pro about injuries (mainly finger tendons) in the coming weeks. I know that struggle all to well- hang in there and talk to a physiotherapist who has worked with climbers if you can!

[@MrWilmaDickfitt]

An old strongman trick that always helps my elbow tendonitis (not an avid climber, but I always get tendonitis after lots of pressing) is to take a rubber band, put it around your finger tips and thumb, and then open your hand and hold it for about 3 seconds. Repeat it 10-15 times per hand, I usually do 2-3 sets. It really helps to get blood into muscles that can be tight and pulling on your tendons, causing the pain. It should definitely help your fingers and wrist too!

[@screew708]

Louis is such a beast

[@TheGirlClimber]

I can watch you guys climb all day! 💪 🧗‍♂️

[@oli5210]

technically you already have ;)

[@TheGirlClimber]

@@oli5210 Did we just get inceptioned???

[@_mcslash]

Did you conveniently forget Ravenswall? I can't remember if there's a permaset there, but I think they do have some benchmark problems.

[@AndrewMacFarlane]

Ravens doesn't have a permaset yet, but it is something we are already planning add on the next time around :)

[@viktortoth595]

great work, congratulation!

[@thereasonabletroll68]

How many push ups do you do every day Louis???

[@TenMinuteKQL]

I'm liking the variety in challenges, and footage, keep it coming. Question about your intro video sequence. How did you make that, with a template, or with non-templated skills?

[@viktortoth595]

you two are total crazy! ;-)

I like those holds alot. got them on my home board. Not using them as foot holds though ^^

Wait... is it red? Or wooden? Hard to tell!

why doesnt Louis do world cups? hes clearly an amazingly strong climber

[@smyteyouall8256]

He competed in the BBC recently and was 9th I think. Probably needs to be top 6 before making the commitment to travel the globe.
