I am a Hannah level climber or lower. I can really see how flexibility and hip movement attribute to good climbing by watching these attempts. Kudos to everyone involved.

[@dickreckard5026]

Watching this having just come home from the gym and I'm still in cheer people on mode. Said "Come on Hannah!" out loud when she was doing the green slabby one.

[@JoshRundle]

Haha amazing 😃

[@obZen327]

I absolutely hate this "come on" every 5 seconds. When someone is climbing they are focused and determined to overcome the problem and challenge. People saying "come on" has zero effect what so ever for someone mid climb. like "oh, i was just about to give up even though i still had strength in me to finish, but now that someone said come on (even 2 seconds into a climb) I'm now gonna try harder!.

[@xcuree]

@@obZen327 i disagree

[@obZen327]

@@xcuree I would agree if someone is over half way through a tough climb and you can tell their struggling. But every 1-3 seconds from the very start…. Come on now..

[@FirstLast-vv6lv]

@@obZen327I think that kinda differs depending on who is climbing. I don’t really mind it but I also don’t hear it because I always have music in. It doesn’t help me in any way but I’m sure for some people it does.

[@raholdstock]

These kinds of videos are the BEST! the contrast between a pro climber and intermediate climber shows me what is hard by looking after studying the way they each climb. More of these videos please Hannah!

[@JoshRundle]

Yay thanks so happy you liked it!! It was fun to film with Hannah, Sofya and Nathan!

[@Azylys-]

I feel you Hannah, I too look at those too geometrical shapes thinking "how the hell am I supposed to grab this?" 😂

[@Birb_brain]

Great vibes! I love that even when you’re all at different levels, you guys still had a good time climbing together

[@JoshRundle]

Thanks! It was really fun to climb with everyone 😊

[@flwi]

Great video to watch the different skill-levels. I also like the positive vibes throughout the session! "Fly up there like an Albatros on cocaine" 😂

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you 😊 was a lot of fun to make! Haha the only way 😂

[@HuslWusl]

10:18 wow, the hight difference is sickening. He reached up there no problem while Sofya had to go the long way

[@jonathanyes112]

Nice to see Sofya, insane climber

[@JoshRundle]

She’s awesome

[@3DSowner22]

Interesting to see on the hard move that hannah struggles with on the first problem sofya gets her left foot up and smears with it to decrease the distance and push in the right direction whereas hannah leaves the foot low which makes the move harder. One of those things you don't think to do that makes a big difference

[@SInkiHui1997]

Its all in the small details! Videos like these are very helpful for beginners like me.

[@stefans.2308]

That was great to watch. You can see Hannah progressing on the last boulder from struggling at the start to the first moves, which is great. I can relate to that, much more than to flashing a boulder as Sofya and some of the others (I only remember 1st places, sorry ;)) did. Great video and good job on the Slab again. Slabby Jo(sh)?

[@EllaClarke-ht3vb]

Exciting video Josh! It was great to see you all climbing 😊 I always look forward to watching your videos! Keep them coming thank you 😊

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you Ella!!

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

I love the routereading "bam bam bam bam bam! done 🤣" Very nice video and love all the collabs!

[@JoshRundle]

Haha best way to do it! Thanks 🙏

[@littlmrsdracula]

Great video, as always. Love to see you all climb together :)

[@JoshRundle]

Thanks 😊

[@glintineye]

21:02 Definitely the colorful language we all come to this channel for. And really, the heel did soar like an albatross on cocaine. Amazing!

[@JoshRundle]

Haha 😂 I try my best

[@livesh684]

I want to see more of these type videos please

[@ericlin158]

Sofya you’re hilarious. Timer started! Let’s hurry this along!!!

[@svenningen]

4+ is just such a superior format for suspense! I get cutting to 4 due to tv-programming, but it's definitely a downgrade in excitement!

[@JoshRundle]

definitely agree!!

[@deschain1910]

I wasn't expecting the stretching for 20 seconds to actually work. 😆

[@JoshRundle]

😂 don’t think anyone way

[@annawong2194]

My favs are together again!!!! Fun 💥

[@JoshRundle]

Yay 😁

[@jonasfreitag3180]

Thx😂this kind of content always cheers me up😅

Thank you 😊

[@julietye8867]

I'd be seriously distracted by those 'come-on's hahah

[@1337RobinG]

All the favourite climbers 🤩

[@tristanparrish7350]

Those green circular holds look like a lot of fun

[@JoshRundle]

They were awesome

[@MrSaeedAta]

For the first boulder, would a heel hook on the first right hand be better then stepping with the toe? (for hannah)

[@cezuski]

Yasss!!! A session of my favourite climbers on yt

[@ZiestaCrew]

So on 18:28, is the hold to the left a green down climbing jug, or is that really the top hold that never got matched? 🧐

[@JoshRundle]

It’s a hold from the setting video we filmed before this one, just forgot to take it off 😃

[@SScribbles]

"my leg will fly up there like an albatross on cocaine" 😂

[@Nick-B78]

Cool video but I’m kinda confused about the zone on the last boulder as the tape is on the small hold above the big one and isn’t touching the big one so technically no one even used it

[@JoshRundle]

I think it was just meant to be on the lower one 😃

[@pyre753]

banger vid :)

[@JoshRundle]

Thanks 😊

[@tylerl4472]

Does anyone have any tips on getting comfortable going to the gym and bouldering a lone? I can’t find people to boulder with since idk how to talk to people and the online group made to find climbing partners has barely any activity

[@mollythornton4119]

I recently started climbing alone and that first time walking into the gym is definitely the hardest. The thing that helped make me comfortable is the first time I went I participated in an instructor led session, this allowed me to get familiar with the regular faces and also broke the ice so I could dialog with some climbers of a similar level to myself. Since that first time it gets easier and easier and the more comfortable you get the easier you'll find it talking to strangers, at the end of the day you're all there to get better and have some fun!! Lots of people go to the gym I go to alone so that also helped me not feel like a billy-no-mates. If I didn't like the vibe of a gym, I'd try another :) Best of luck I hope you enjoy it!

[@reeceritchie]

Where is this bouldering Centre please ? Name?

[@JoshRundle]

It's Pathian in Southhampton

decent send 9:15 well done

[@jurajjakubec8600]

How tall is Nathan ? Seems he is even taller than you ? It was great to see two tall dudes climb compared to tiny pro

[@felixbrown8634]

what accent does Sofya have? almost sounds northern?

[@JoshRundle]

She’s from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@deathcore420]

Why didnt you climb the last green one to the last hold?

[@JoshRundle]

Because that green doesn’t belong to that boulder

[@TheNitram8]

2 amateurs and one elongated human vs 1 pro

[@JoshRundle]

😂

[@sirsendalot]

Round of applause to all 3 of you 👏

[@Gowerpostural]

Not fair for the amateur girl! Those taller guys have the height!

[@YnseSchaap]

A blobby slab well thank you for reminding me of Blobby I vowed never to forgive Britain for that 😁

[@stefanr00]

Did Sofya missed the last green hold on the last boulder?!

[@JoshRundle]

No that was just a hold from another boulder that we forgot to take off

[@octaneaandmusic]

'Average' = way above average

[@danielsigursson6215]

1:14 Best beta ever

i’m sad that there’s no online climbing simulator kinda games

whats the difficulty of the boulders?

Honestly no idea, sorry 😃

Parthian in Southampton??

That’s the one 😃

[@FloTheUIM]

Oh sweet! Just started climbing myself at Bouldershack in Southampton (closer to me than Parthian) but that gym looks awesome too! I’ll have to check it out one day!

[@cooperxD123]

what was that stretching lol never had that any effect

[@JoshRundle]

Helped us get our heals up 😅

[@jordanrussell8857]

Sofya is a real G

[@JoshRundle]

💪

[@phil7218]

The men are obviously at an advantage due to their height.

[@sand9442]

3 Amateur climbers... If this is amateur, I'm not even on the scale.

[@baztheman]

Does height of a person make huge differences? The girl in white shirt needs to reach so far, where the guys just reach and up.

[@JoshRundle]

Depends really on a few factors, when you get to the higher grades it’s definitely better to be shorter, all the best climbers in the world are under 6 foot . 5,9 has been said to be the optimal height.

[@chandlerrees9482]

ngl sofya do be lookin cute

[@fckcptlsm]

she is right to be upset about the name and no remorse of him for fucking up...

[@harrypotters2807]

Hannah!!!! Coach Louis would be so disappointed in your lack of confidence and your inner monologue was probably horrible. You’re much better than that, cmon!

[@conserve_climber]

The view count is crazy…I’m guessing Sofya and Hannah are the draw here but what the heck, well done.

[@JoshRundle]

Good title and thumbnail 😃 thanks

[@TheHandyManCanltd]

“A bit anti-CLIMB-actic” you should of said 😂

[@ivarorno]

I would be so annoyed if I had people constantly yelling "come on" at me.

[@marawe2123]

I was thinking exactly the same :D But people are different I guess ;)

Come on Hannah 🙄
