Karoshi, V15/8C - First Ascent - Hueco Tanks

[@amethyst8399]

man this thing looks sick, would love to try if i'm ever in hueco

[@David-go4ot]

Nice send! You should do a collab with Magnus Midtboe. Would love to see you both crush together

[@frictitiousclimbing4991]

Oh my, yeah they could team up and keep us entertained for just about ever.

[@owenfriberg8004]

Paul is on a whole different level though

[@chuffer595]

So sick to see you continuously putting up hard boulders. The psych is real. Keep it up!

[@paulrobinson87]

thanks!

[@KaterinaBrouzdova]

That was close 😅 so proud of you peanut ❤️

[@paulrobinson87]

thank you babe! so happy we got to be in hueco together! i cant wait to go back!

[@DavidSamuelOwens]

paul, i love how you include all your failures. Makes the vid so much more interesting, gives me the chance to catch micro-beta, and makes me psyched to try hard in the face of difficulty Sick send!

[@paulrobinson87]

David Owens thanks! Get after it 💪💪

[@Andrew-qb1rc]

I was recently in this area and checked out the holds on this. Needless to say, this looked crazy hard.

[@AljazJelen1992]

Ever since I started bouldering, I never watched any bouldering videos. Lately every time after bouldering/climbing, I come home, prepare myself an energy smoothie, get the massage ball for my forearms, turn on your videos Paul and.... I just feel I am there with you. I love this routine, altho it makes me sad, that I experience all this sittin on the couch, destroyed from boulder workout :)

[@therealkevinleee]

that slow mo with the normal speed dialogue, nice touch

[@thomaspham8852]

Thanks Paul for showing the process! It’s really motivating to see you get back on it after days. Now I don’t feel so neurotic that I do the same thing on my own projects.

[@nickhenscheid369]

Just got back from a Hueco trip and I was climbing in this area (3 star arete). The holds on this are absolutely nuts, they would be poor footholds at just about any other grade. Amazing vision to see the line.

[@danielknisell7018]

I kept thinking please don't fall on that fence post. Impressive!

[@paulrobinson87]

Daniel Knisell I thankfully think that the fence post is far enough away that it would not be a danger omg falling on it.

[@zemdu3506]

Awesome video. Love it when you show each of the different moves.

[@paulrobinson87]

thanks so much!

[@gabehargett9549]

Give that v16 that think looks ridiculous and still fits your style. Coming back to it and so many sessions

[@Tomcoma2832]

[@Colin_Barnes]

Holy shit dude! such a sick first ascent! congrats. Really liked watching this. Super nice problem, amazingly filmed and edited and superbly climbed. For me a bouldering video of a single boulder doesn't get better then this.. and yet you seem to put vids like this out all the time, I said it before.. I wish more pro's would make vids like you do.. just amazing to watch. thanks and keep m comin!

[@charliecollier]

What a belter! Good job Paul 🙏

[@paulrobinson87]

thanks so much!

[@tracecarrasco3872]

With something so crimpy, how long do you wait between burns? Also, at what point do you start to get frustrated when you fall - is it only once you have starting linking things together?

[@paulrobinson87]

when i was going for send burns i was usually only giving it 4 tries in a single session that spanned about 3 hours. this thing is so hard and sharp that i was climbing one day and then resting one day. yeah i guess especially frustrated when falling from the bottom because so much more is on the line than when i was just going for links... especially because every try was so precious since i only gave 4 in a day and each try took a lot of skin.

[@whocareforealakilla]

Hard line on some Hard rock. you crush it dude

[@paulrobinson87]

thanks so much

[@mrmoorash]

When I was watching this awesomeness, I though that you might be the person to repeat burden of dreams v17 :) is there any possibility that you'll try it one day?

[@JeremyRCorrea]

Congrats Paul!

[@davidnaude756]

Yeeeeah dude! gettin' psyched for this season!!

[@bloctribe]

Awesome work Paul. You should try “harder” lines more often. Such a brutal crimpy line...

[@paulrobinson87]

Hahahaha I feel like I only try hard boulders 😂😂

[@bloctribe]

Paul Robinson...I meant hard hard, like this one or even harder!

[@gallanonim6535]

Any Finland trips planned? ;) Why did You call it like that, deadly crimps? Nice clip as usual with great footage and edit. Please do some closeups on the crux handholds next time. Would like to see if they're sharp or flat and friction dependant.

[@frontboyzz]

Love the videos. One thing I would like to see is a description of each move from the ground with you just talking about the individual moves. That always gets me psyched. In the Matt Fultz Warpath video he shows a good example of what I am talking about. Anyways great video, Hi from Utah:)

Just watching you crimp makes my fingers tingle Haha

[@owengmassey]

Savage. I bet those crimps hurt after that many days on it!

[@paulrobinson87]

so so much! i couldnt climb for a few days after sending haha!

[@jlehm]

Sick work!

[@Buckifan127]

That’s sadly a great name for a problem like that! When you project do you just spend the total time you’re in an area solely working on just the one problem or do you mix it up and climb other things maybe not as hard? I feel 9 days on a single problem would be crazy frustrating, but obviously incredible in the end!

[@paulrobinson87]

Brennan Brumfield i tend to put all of my focus into one climb. This trip to Hueco was solely about trying to finish this line off. That is why I felt like karoshi was a good name for the project that I really had to work day in and day out to finally complete.

[@Buckifan127]

Paul Robinson makes sense, thanks for the response, your climbing videos are always great to watch! Looking forward to the next big climb!

[@jetsetjoel7219]

NIIICELY DONE! Congrats!

[@paulrobinson87]

thanks joel!! it definitely was a fight!!

[@robbiemize]

@Paul Robinson you are killing it!! Can you tell me what the inspiration for the name "Karoshi" is?

[@paulrobinson87]

Robbie Mize Karōshi (過労死), which can be translated literally as "overwork death" in Japanese, is occupational sudden mortality. I chose this name because of the fight I had to put into this thing!

[@robbiemize]

Love the name! Very fitting. Love the vlogs too keep em coming! Happy sending.

[@T0BBi94]

How can anyone dislike this video?! Oh wait, no one does.. Amazing send!

[@aramnazarian222]

Good stuff dude - inspired me to stop chuffing around

[@paulrobinson87]

Aram Nazarian sometimes it’s hard to not chuff! But gotta keep the eye on the prize!

[@ryanrutledge4946]

That right hand crimp at 4:26 is hilarious. What are you even crimping on???

[@paulrobinson87]

some super small holds on this one!

[@MichaelAnthonyLeyva]

So sick! What’s the music on this video??

[@paulrobinson87]

siren screen ooyy and divergent ooyy

[@MichaelAnthonyLeyva]

Paul Robinson thanks Paul!

[@aspzx]

Absolutely sick vid dude. This might sound weird but I would love to see more emotion in your edits. Like what happened after you slid off the final hold on the lip? How did it feel? Obviously I love seeing the climbing but I would also love to see the human side a bit more.

[@paulrobinson87]

aspuzling for sure. Thanks for the comment!

[@frictionlabs]

🔥🔥🔥

[@bongosock]

Awesome! gratz :)

[@ThomasLindinger]

would be nice to know where you get the sound for your videos from?

[@paulrobinson87]

all of my music is from epidemic sounds. some of it is ok some of it is garbage. i wish i could use great music but everyone's gotta work with the budget they have :)

[@ThomasLindinger]

Paul Robinson thx for the quick answer! nice to know :) I also thought about getting an account there but therefore my audience isn‘t big enough to justify any expenditure. maybe someday ;) not to forget: great work. keep it up 🤙🏼

[@lisbonclimbing]

great

[@Colin_Barnes]

Why Karoshi? according to google translate: death caused by overwork or job-related exhaustion. Well I guess you were pretty exhausted after, please don't die from overwork though =)

[@Jsoccer1999]

Did you consider v16 forthis? Considering it was such a long proj and you’ve climbed 15s much quicker?

[@paulrobinson87]

grades are such a subjective and difficult topic. I hope others will try it soon so that we, as a community, can more of a consensus on this line. only time will tell!

[@Jsoccer1999]

Paul Robinson I agree, I wonder what the future holds for this line. I just ask because if you send the Daniel woods v16 line in bishop with similar difficulty would you consider v16? Or how does this compare to bugeliesen sit, which took you a very short time to do the stand as well as get the moves for the sit? If you had the time, would you bet you would’ve completed the sit in less time than this project (which even moreso I’m curious cause this one appeared more your style then bugeliesien sit)

[@rockblog6047]

Great ascent :-) Like 500

[@kickmonlee3390]

How the hell does someone climbing V15 possibly not have defined triceps!?!?

[@Imthedragonreborn]

Contrarily to what all the V5 gym bros think, pumping iron is not really needed to boulder hard. It's a lot more about finger strenght, technique and power/weight ratio.

[@YoureInSilico]

Awesome! Just to comment a little on the music here, I found it to be a bit too generic and vlog-type. Doesn't really bring justice to the otherwise unique video. A track that was a little more personal or unique would have suited this better. Just my opinion though! Your climbing technique is mesmerizingly good, I really enjoy these videos.
