Intro to Sport Climbing ft. Hard is Easy

[@wilmertoorn2773]

They're the heros we don't deserve, but the heros the climbing world needs. Solid content. God speed to you both.

[@asipofstoke]

The collab everyone has been waiting for. You have both inspired thousands of people, and i suspect this video will become a staple for all beginner climbers!

[@johnarinehart]

It feels wrong to have this kind of quality content basically for "free". You two are heroes in this community, thank you so much for all the work you put in those videos!

[@imacarrot6570]

Good to see you two together.

[@googoogjoob7]

I watched hours of y’all’s channels three years ago when I started climbing… as a beginner, this about sums all of it up lol great job. Really appreciate all the work y’all put into this!

[@johnathongilbert9389]

YES MORE OF THIS!!!! You two together have saved me more times from mistakes on the wall than I can count

[@Ljoyist]

Might I be bold enough to add, when trying a knot to shorten the tail, it's important to keep it as close as possible to the original figure 8, wouldn't want to clip into the resulting loop from tying too far out. Love all the content both of you put out, got me through my first years of climbing unscathed and unafraid.

[@scribbles51]

Man what a great collab that offers a snapshot of years of videos and data from two phenomenal channels.. Here's hoping there are some aspiring climbers that find this and fall deep into the rabbit hall of technique and gear. Two great resources.

[@37MKE]

Hi Ryan, Just wanted to let you know that we climb successfully our first big wall in Greenland last summer thanks to your video. Most grateful, hope you keep the channel for long 🙏🏼

[@HowNOT2]

Wow! Congrats!

[@fire_n_ice1984]

Kids have it so easy nowadays. Us old folk had limited amount of how to books and climbing magazines. Now, you all have 4k high definition audio step by step how to climb videos. Also, have access to videos of the most cutting-edge, boundary pushing accomplishments. You know what is possible and where to push it further. I fugging love it!

[@PSnGa]

You and Hard is Easy are my two fav climbing info sources. This was a fantastic collab!! Thank you both for an excellent, speedy beginner tutorial. Homerun!!

[@TomMuhleman]

Ryan, having watched all your videos over the years, and as a climber, I gotta tell you, this is one of your best videos. You have done so much for the climbing community over the years that I just wanted to say thanks! I’ve seen you climb at this little crag many times and have always wondered where it is? Could you let me know? Thanks.

[@kiwimilkshake7948]

i have learned so much information about gear, safety and climbing etiquette from both of you guys over the years. this video illustrates most things people need to know about sport climbing and its nuances so well !! everyone can learn at least something from this video and its a perfect addition to the community. proud of you guys and will be psyched if there'll be another collab.

[@isaacjamesbaker]

Love how you guys take it to the basics in this video. Will be really helpful for new sport climbers.

[@JustinMayfield]

You did well at 35:00. This was the same scenario for how Lynn Hill fell. She started her knot, then realized she needed her shoes. She then forgot to finish the knot and neither party verified the system. Always complete the safety checklist, every single time.

[@szabolcskiraly6323]

Best collab since CoVid. Thank you guys, stay safe, healthy and keep on sending 😊

[@StephaneDubois-ie3tb]

Amazing my two favorite climbing "youtuber" together! Thank you for all your content, nice collab

[@aroimicaraffu]

oh yes! I did not know that I need that colab in my life. Awesome Guys!

[@Samyah93]

The collab I’ve been waiting for!

[@curtiss4981]

Thanks! It's amazing that we have access to this video for free!!

[@timbartlebaugh9915]

Yes! The collab that all us climbing nerds wanted!

[@axemurdereriamnot]

@hownot2 32:41 Your rope-end carabiners on your quickdraws are NOT opposite and opposed; this is a potentially unsafe anchor configuration if the climber climbs above the quickdraws.

[@physicalgraffiti18]

YES he like flips it weird as he clips the rope and then the biners turn to face the same way

[@filmbenjamin]

MY 2 FAVORITE CLIMBING CHANNELS!!!!!!!!!

[@mdrgn79]

Thanks for making this, it’s a goldmine of information.

[@AndyMcCavish]

My 2 favorite climbing channels in the same place at the same time, maybe one day I'll climb more than a couple of flights of stairs 🙂.....

[@beauxgaloo9621]

I can’t wait to start climbing!

[@chaintuts]

You guys always make super informative stuff. Nice work!

[@Mgreco0419]

Don’t have the time to watch now but liking it just because of the collab.

[@Borsti78]

Thanks for this video, your work and expertise 🙂

[@Pyromaniac2450]

So happy to see this collab

[@RonMarish]

My heroes. Glad to see you together again.

[@mcclunky3093]

Some thoughts on pros not wearing helmets: Many of the routes we see pros climbing on the internet are steep, relatively blank, and have been thoroughly cleaned, making the risk of falling rock or swinging head first into the wall much lower than what an average person climbs on. There is undoubtedly a macho culture around not wanting to look dorky in a helmet, although in my experience this has been changing for the better. No one is ready for the bouldering with a helmet conversation though 🤠

[@HowNOT2]

Wow. That's funny. I've never thought of why boulders don't wear helmets lol. Makes a lot of sense to wear one!

[@butsoftwhatblight]

do you think bouldering might need a different kind of helmet bc the most likely type of forces (falling on your head vs piercing by a rock) are different?

[@userunknown2771]

These two combined. Fantastic

[@hannibal3143]

Finally! This collab was inevitable

[@popolalasusububu]

very concentrated knowledge. thank you

[@figet45]

Bro no way I was so excited to see Ben and you get together!!!!!!!!

[@joshsactiveadventures5611]

Great video guys!

[@umountable]

Yesterday i thought: that would be a collab that would make a lot of sense. today it happened. hillarous :D

[@vintagemetal]

Great collab you guys!

[@mikecux804]

Tolles, kurzweiliges Video. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

[@MrTravis789]

Double safety checks, we love to see it.

[@exnhelo3517]

Love the bloopers

[@argon408]

Hard is Easy x Hownot2?! Found HowNot2 from a Hard is easy video years ago. Nice to see y’all do a collab!

[@johtso1]

Might be worth a mention of climbing clubs as a way to find people to climb with

[@robertjames9191]

My favorite two climbing KZbinrs collaborating, has Christmas’s come late?

[@user-bn6rl1vt9z]

Love the colab

[@columnardrop7219]

Love the redwood burl guidebook 😂

[@ndragon798]

Great crossover

[@lazaraza]

Thanks!

[@KrokodylVlog]

infinite content collab 💚

[@titod8392]

1:09 XD guess I have been too socially awkward even for clembers so far XD

[@SogarCCHC]

Love you guys! I would love to see you debating on something that you disagree on. With the knowledge of you two have the content would be maybe too much for a video form but ...

[@spencanelli]

Ryan, I love that shirt! Will you be selling it sometime?

[@getstrongto7c2]

Hi, Ben, if you watch the last video from howNOT2 and then see how Tommy uses the belay device incorrectly with neither hand on the brake rope, then the task here would actually be a completely different one.

[@HowNOT2]

He has a video coming out with his party trick of showing things slipping or failing! I'm looking forward to it.

[@welshbikepackingadventures]

So interesting!

[@wsextreme]

Where is this at?

[@rike1175]

epic sauce

[@tobias56375]

Where can i get that Super Good Enough shirt? Its super good enough😂

[@HowNOT2]

[@obalasmora4192]

Finally 🎉🎉🎉

[@gr.4380]

I can't believe hard is easy is still alive (but I'm very happy) new video soon HiE? Please???

[@markoneal9677]

Is stick clipping your way up a route an "advanced" skill?

[@TonySpinach]

Ryan you gotta do it... You gotta lift a car with climbing gear for science

[@Daniel-jz7uf]

✊🏻✌️

[@jessefertitta7784]

Dog bones because they look like many cow bones you feed them lol narrow in the shaft, bulbous on the end🦴

[@paulgaras2606]

The reason why pro climbers don’t wear helmets is because they are being filmed much of the time and helmets look kind of funny

[@aranna_]

I KNOW THAT OTHER GUY

[@TheesHenning]

...And now....Kiss❤

[@bobsthea]

belaying is lost art these days

[@googoogjoob7]

Thanks!
