[@axeleriksson3202]

You and Magnus Mitbo should do a video together!

[@mattinahat6475]

Louis has rapidly become one of my favourite climbers. Not just because he is an absolute monster , but he's sucha genuine and caring guy. Also i think i speak for everyone when i say , moar doggo pliz XD

[@original2261]

child

[@mercrazzle]

Building one + is the gym I use, and when me and my friends look for problems, we always look at the oranges and go "that's insane". And seeing Louis complete them like this really puts some perspective on the ability ladder. It's encouraging too.

[@davidgamez-alvarez5701]

ryan forsdick I look at him crushing those and he just makes them look so easy. Definitely motivated me to get better

[@midgetfriz14]

You should definitely hit up Magnus Mitboe - who can flash the most V9s...

[@esports_work2943]

I think you overestimate him. He's not a pro climber anymore, its been like 3 years since his last competitions. He's definitely good but not that good to flash most V9s

[@DerRollkragen]

eSports_Work and also he is More of a lead climber

[@artisdying]

At this very moment, Louis is by far the stronger boulderer than Magnus.

[@alexgreaves4526]

Louis did a video on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6LahZWkhpaohZY

[@pax1792]

I feel that guy at 4:00, chilling on the floor, contemplating life choices while some other dude next to you is achieving his goals.

[@chrisnorman601]

Great video, nice to see Louis actually struggling for a change!

[@pixelparker_]

Louis is like the mad scientist of climbers. Love it!

[@Firenyard]

love you guys! keep it up!

[@valerievega85]

I love watching Louis climb!

[@KitFuchs]

Your new intro looks cool! You are taking the right steps and you videos continue to gain quality. Keep it up, I really appreciate your videos

[@jakeelo]

Great vid! As an instructor in the States I use your videos to up my instructing game! Keep it up blokes

[@schmetterling2169]

Im the head coach for the bouldering at my local.gym. I do the same haha

[@JK-hr6py]

friendship ended with overhang, now slab is my best friend

[@ilovejb12374]

13:39 is exactly how I feel every time I fall of a problem haha

[@slavadabadoo]

Good video. Andrew, you should intro the problems/wall before louis starts talking about them... when you guys moved over to the slab wall, we didnt get to see what the full route looked like for about one and a half mins. Louis was describing the route in that one in a half mins but i didnt know what he was talking about cuz the shot is on him and not the wall. We love Louis and all but feature the walls more often!

[@slavadabadoo]

Edited: just finished the episode... great video! Louis is so good

[@AndrewMacFarlane]

Hey, I totally understand and I'll see what I can do in the future. Couple variables I have to work around when filming are being able to hear Louis in a busy gym with music and other climbers (so pointing the mic at him from a close distance), and the other is that Louis will often climb routes on his first attempt, so sometimes we only have one clip actually showing the climb. Another thing is that we often don't have much time to film, so we aren't taking loads of time to set up shots... it's quick shooting for things like this. That being said I can try and work more time for route examination in the future.

[@slavadabadoo]

Andrew MacFarlane appreciate the great insight into your process! Now having given my feedback, want to say: you do a fantastic job! Keep up the good stuff! Your channel brings a different flavor than magnus, EKB, bouldering bobat, etc and the variety def greatly appreciated!

[@fontventures8398]

@@AndrewMacFarlane Nice video like mentioned her I would also enjoy seeing the holds Louis mentions during the beta review in the beginning. Keep em coming

[@nub0rn]

@@AndrewMacFarlane I second @slavadabadoo. Hearing him check out the route, but not seeing what he's actually talking about was a bit of a let down. Maybe show the route first at least so we have an idea how it looks like.

[@GamerOfWin]

New lit video to end my Sunday with!

[@Srcrustaceo]

More more more like this!

[@anthill4623]

Like the interaction between the cameraman and louis

[@VDB420]

Louis is insane!

[@elamantun8162]

great episode

[@iknowbest5487]

great video, love the quality and great editing

[@TomCastellani]

Can't tell if the guy at 18:45 is too hot or too cold.

[@David-ud9ju]

All I know is that he's a wanker.

[@QcOncleGab]

Probably too mild.

[@marlie404]

Amazing :) but I’m pretty sure there are more than 4 routes, there’s one on the big slab and another on the cafe island! Possibly more. Be good to see Louis do them too :)

[@Babbyclubber]

Louie is a beast!!!!

[@NageIfar]

Good video but some critique, i'm still not sold on the intro length/song choice at all. One problem might be that it's too aggressive.

[@mattiacellottoaudiolibraries]

Agreeing about the music, mostly as I am not sure bouldering is the "feeling that gets me at night". Another suggestion: when Louis is reading the route the camera is zoomed on him alone, so all viewers see is him gesturing with no context as to what holds he's referring to. Would be nice to stay a bit further for those reading parts, other than that, amazing video :)

[@Peter-lv5sl]

lol

[@vch7337]

what song is this?

[@lucasandersen4566]

"Not to hard, if you get it" no shit Louis XDXD

[@jankasmann4042]

whats the song in the intro?

[@louisg8669]

How long have you been climbing?

[@catrinanow5126]

Noticed the critique on the intro, I thought it was cool and enjoyed it, it's neat getting to see the moments you are proud of. For a newer channel espicaly, I thought you did an AMAZING job, it defiantly got me hyped seeing dinos and strong moves from the start. I think because you have been dropping videos at such a high quality since you started, people feel like they have more of a right to nit pick things that bother them, but are really just different/newer territory, from all the other top climbing channels. Keep pushing the edge because you are going to send it, I am very excited to see where you channel is going :)

[@jens8269]

hey... Whats the Name of the Song starts with the Green Boulder ?

[@oscarlindqvist1250]

I didn't know Hugh Grant was a such good climber xD

[@jairvandersterre1002]

He makes this all look so easy like... damn

[@tobiaswollmann6859]

Which type of jeans is Louis wearing (climbing specific vs regular)? Because i tried normal ones and they haven't lasted long although the stretch etc. was cool and i liked it but specific climbing jeans seam to have a more loose fit less tight (or i'm too slim haha)

[@AndrewMacFarlane]

Louis is rockin' Boulder Denim jeans ;)

[@drchickennugget1505]

You should try rock climbing villwood Australia it’s amazing

[@jt0308]

these problems are so damn hard. I dont think there is even one I can start...

[@user-vs1pr2wl5z]

how tall is he?

[@Danmunshaw]

I wish he was 185 like me . Why do guys 120 to 150 excell so fast while my extra 30 pounds results in huge muscles and and but a longer time progressing . We need some big guys in these videos

[@johnnienoel-baker]

Nice vid, but when you're filming Louis talk about the climb, could you also film the climb so we know what he's talking about?

[@johnnienoel-baker]

Maybe you could stand a bit further back, and have the climb in the background

[@Dom-cq8pw]

I feel like the Intro is more like a "what my channel's about" clip than an intro

[@c.j.macleod9855]

At around 6:55 that creepy music sounds like the beginning of raining blood

[@learntrnsys7189]

I love how he really screws his toes into the footholds. But half the time doesn't bother with the feet anyway

[@brixelkid2882]

so wild he climbs in jeans all the time lmao

[@60secondpages]

Climbing jeans they have elastic type material.

[@vengerer]

Boulder Denim!

[@portentouslad5051]

Nice video. I'm planning to come visit London first week of July to take a look at all the infamous gyms. Mind if I say 'hi' should we run into each other?

[@AndrewMacFarlane]

Thanks man- of course!

[@jonnes__4657]

Louis the spiderman :) .

[@jakemason358]

These were set by Al, FYI

[@AndrewMacFarlane]

Jake, can you link me to his social? Louis and I thought Matt set all these after that Arch promo you guys did on the circuit.

[@gamedirection_us]

2:34 should name that route "Clock Work Orange"

[@korbis15]

15:44 did you just step in a bolt hole? :D

[@carleriksson9500]

Is that Shauna Coxsey in the background at 11.40? Can't see her face but it sure looks like her body language ^^

[@2fast4me9]

Its annoying that you dont show the problems properly. Still good video.

[@FissureRaiOh]

Guys, guys, guys.. I have a great idea how to make this climb harder: BLOCKERS

[@matiasitaluoma9317]

Creeper, 3:38

[@elijahvenetiou6670]

Second

[@nickkizich9539]

Hugh Grant takes up climbing

[@MF-CLIMB]

StrafeResist why do people do this?

[@Cannonbo]

please. if the gym put their music this loud you have to choose to not add your own or mute the live camera sound. hearing 2 songs simultaneously drives me mad.

[@Danmunshaw]

LIFE is good when your the size of a mouse

[@distantlight4527]

Zoom out while hes chatting about the problems yo. redic
