[@johnmawby7295]

That toe hook though... the whole sequence to the dyno is beautifully considered.

[@thewateringwiz7118]

That mantle looked disgustingly hard ! Such a great send !

[@DasUberCow]

Love seeing a clean edit like this with many attempts on one boulder. Really makes you appreciate how clean the send movements have to be.

[@justinjakimiak1998]

So sick to see all these lady crushers dominating the mellow scene! Love me a video that shows how much work actually goes into these hard Blocs

[@johnchappell9232]

That last bit looked terrifying...

[@branchbird7613]

So much strength and control on the send! Love these mini proj videos. Holy smokes what a great climber!

[@ryanoconnor918]

When I saw the jorts I new it was send time.

[@johnnycigar3240]

She posted some pants she made in her instagram story yesterday and they were super nice. She's a very skillful person.

[@Quencyc]

Beautiful sequence at the beginning, rad dead point, amazing fight for the top out!

[@cretin456]

So psyched to see more hard climbing! Every time I see a mellow video pop up I get excited.

[@sehrniedrich9383]

Isabelle faus always drippin

[@Garbaz]

Thanks for showing the progression, helps to appreciate the difficulty!

[@boulderbros5534]

So strong! That top out looks super tough

[@MrThidious]

Sick send! Mellow never disappoints. Much love

[@golgot128]

Just an awesome climber. Nails sequence.

[@buoyanProjects]

what a beautiful sequence

[@ejl74]

Beautiful filming and climbing.

[@dannyj1983]

That top out looked desperate. Great job, Elle.

[@larathompson1981]

Woah seeing her get closer and closer on that jump near the end!

[@Matthew_McRae]

Beautiful send. That mantle looked super intense!!

[@keving9027]

Damn that looked hard nice job Isabelle so sick!!!!

[@weriscanexplode]

All of the beta before the dyno is bananas clean.

[@BrutelyAwesome]

Definition of "EVERYTHING YOU GOT!!! CMON!!"

[@oliviaallen8975]

Wooooooo!! Amazing!

[@spotteddogmemphis]

Damn, Isabelle’s flow is really beautiful.

[@killabeerave]

carry the chalk bag..forget to open it before :P

[@constanceelaine3909]

Ridiculous - excellent!

[@matthebat100]

I will never be this good and i accept that

[@RedSkyLB]

So sick!

[@jasonsterner922]

Good effort!!!!!

[@aidanloeser4890]

Some goddamn gorgeous beta & precision

[@Stefanson100]

Sick Send!

[@AmericazSweetheart]

Nice Isabelle!

[@TristanCleveland]

Super interesting comparing the time she got the dyno to the times she didn't. I think the right foot is further to the right, setting up a better line. She also did a better job pulling her left knee out during the dyno so she could pull her body in before going up. This makes the difference between it looking hopeless and looking solid.

[@sydneymcbee4036]

sick send, this is awesome. love these lady crushers

[@jipe4153]

Bouldering looks so fun, ive been missing using ropes

[@danielleandaaroncooper6553]

Inspired

[@danielslmpd1778]

I m in love 😍

[@weebig]

Thats a beautiful ass climb. Great job

[@vladx3539]

Wow.... not a single sexist comment!? Bravo ;)

[@julianheninger1174]

It's official, jorts will make you send

[@ripgnar4352]

the last move. oooof

[@ficklemedia8733]

Could it be the lack of clothing on the final send that made the crucial difference? Either way a pleasure to watch. Solid send. Wasn’t expecting the desperate mantel. 🦾

[@georgeyu9898]

What song is this? The description is wrong

[@furiousmat]

I never understand how people climb all day and even once it gets dark. I go to some indoor boulder gym and after a good 2 hours session I can barely tie my shoes together when I leave.

[@nightmonkey7426]

Isabelle could maybe be the most technically gifted boulderer. Male or Female. Textbook

[@duncanedelstein6553]

Is FFA : Female First ascent? surely it should just be FA? Either way cookin' video well climbed!

[@skipperv7884]

First Female Ascent. If it was an FA then it would just say FA. Surely she will have some V14 or harder FA’s in the future.

[@duncanedelstein6553]

@@skipperv7884 you mean FFA's other Duncan ? I like your name by the way we should be friends .

[@skipperv7884]

Hah. I didn’t see your name before. Now I completely agree with whatever you have to say. We Duncans must stick together

[@ashhodson2063]

Is it really V14? I mean is Brooke gonna send it and give home truths again lmao

[@benjam_morgan]

My favorite part was when she reached for her chalk bag, juggled with it, and decided f*** it, I'm gonna just slap my thigh and send this f**ker. Bad. Ass. Thanks for the motivation.

[@camilletan4221]

FFA?

[@oliverm8058]

first female ascent

[@camilletan4221]

@@oliverm8058. Why do they need To precise it is a female first ascent ? Do we write MALE FIRST ASCENT ? NO! Of course !!! Kind of really sexist!

[@goshatomasik]

Can’t agree more- means that FA is assumed to be male inherently. Lmao. Wtf.

[@skipperv7884]

There are a dozen-ish women to have ever climbed V14. There are hundreds of men who have reached this grade. I believe that climbing is a sport that men and women can excel at equally, but for now being the first women to climb any V14 is certainly noteworthy. Perhaps you could be happy for her success and glad that mellow climbing often features strong women.

[@camilletan4221]

@@skipperv7884 Of course i love the video and the climbing is beautiful and Thanks Again for @mellow and the team. I Think you do not understand my thoughts. By not making diferences with FFA she would be more respected and treated equaly when no one has ever written : first MALE ascent !

[@robbiemize]

Kneepads showing up everywhere. I think rubber gloves for better grip is the likely next step in evolution.

[@snooyen]

crack gloves are already a thing..

[@misterx2133]

I’ve noticed that as well. A bit strange. Then again, Ondra seems to find a kneebar on every problem.

[@summercityzach]

y'all wear rubber shoes right?

[@misterx2133]

Charles Albert has entered the chat

[@sapereaude4706]

Had to mute to enjoy.

[@aidanloeser4890]

I'd have slapped him with the "up! up! up!" for the dyno (if not before)

[@Synthysizer]

apparently you had to let everyone know this, too.

[@jlehm]

Cocaine’s a helluva drug.

[@Frivia]

that music selection tho🤮
