Leonidio: A Greek Climbing Adventure

[@ManitheMonkey]

Exactly one year ago I posted my first KZbin video! What a nice journey :D

[@Foxfool228]

That TINY amount of time? This channel is going to explode if you keep creating these thoughtful, practical, and beautifully produced videos!

[@SaloufardosMorrison]

It always amazes me to see people from all over the world visiting the place I grew up at. So many stories and memories jump in my mind when seeing the narrow streets you showed on your video! Thank you!!

[@joemmalon1]

Thx for the update, was really enjoyable to watch. Great edeting as always!

[@knallhardt]

Geiles Video Mani. Bei Minute 6.44 hatte ich es auch wieder mir, das Gefühl von Leonidio. Man eh Manni, das ist wirklich ein schöner Ort zum klettern.

[@nsewnsew1]

Such a nice vid! Thanks, Mani! Inspiring to watch.

[@Maphis11]

One of your best videos yet! Digg it

[@colinklein9057]

I loved the video, and just wanted to say you inspired me to get a membership at a bouldering gym about two months ago. Now I go whenever I get the chance and have really seen an improvement in my climbing. Thanks!

[@ManitheMonkey]

I'm glad to hear that, keep crushing!

[@HardIsEasy]

Woooo looks like you are really having fun there :D Nice video again!

[@agclark1]

One of your best! Really enjoyed it.

[@fedonmartzmovies9563]

[@Colin_Barnes]

[@MutingSociety]

This was awesome man, beautiful shots and really nice storytelling. Glad you're enjoying yourself!

[@DefqonVegan]

Looks amazing there! That snow footage was incredible, so cool you get to stay longer!!

[@LemonsandLove]

What a fantastically made little film! :D You've definitely surpassed vlogging standard with this one!

[@susisorglos7010]

Hi mani, what a great video! Please come home soon, I want to learn the Sirtaki! Enjoy youre time in Greece and also this part of life!

[@moldpirate8113]

I loved the dancing interlude!!

[@BeefyBoulders]

Great work. Very inspirational

[@baclimbing6427]

If you are staying in Greece you could consider climbing at kalymnos, a Greek climbing island in the Mediterranean, it is considered the Mecca of climbing, I.e. The climbing pilgrimage that all climbers have to take, it is incredible limestone climbing and has many hard projects such as 8c's

[@francescocornelio7498]

BAClimbing i am sure he already knows kalymnos but wanted to try something different.

[@ManitheMonkey]

Haven't been to Kalymnos so far, has been recommended to me many times so hopefully I get the chance to check it out someday!

[@jesserayn]

Rarely comment but this a wonderful film, kudos

[@tathtath]

good decision. Life is about doing what you love!

[@filippociaraldi2994]

Hahahaha! Man, you're amazing!!! :-) great choice.. good luck for your new adventure!

[@steliosgavrielides8566]

having lived in Greece for 7 years... I will say if you can support your life there you will never leave. I will go back as soon as It is possible. Take a trip to Kalymnos as soon as you get bored of the crags there or want something new. its a world class place

[@andreasnikolopoulos5263]

I am a beginner climber from greece. I admire you

[@helmutwenin2653]

Sehr schön. Donnerstag geht's nach leonidio

[@hatefulmonday]

Amazing video mani! I m going to greece in 2 month hehe can't wait to be there!!! And if you can... Just keep living this awesome life haha

[@mustardahc]

Nice video! I've stayed 21 days in Kalymnos, and 21 days is not enough as well... One needs a lifetime to be able to climb enough!

[@willbeez]

super cool.

[@jacobsack]

such a good video

[@MANIRES]

Nice video man!

[@g3arkania]

Viel spaß und erfolg weiterhin ;)

[@lucas.526]

Hi Mani, ich hab mir extra eine KZbin-Account angelegt, um dir einen Kommentar zu hinterlassen. Die Inhalte, die du uns lieferst sind wirklich auf hohem Niveau. Ich kann von jedem deiner Videos etwas mitnehmen, seien es Tipps für einen besseren Kletterstil, Trainingsanregungen oder einfach deine positive Energie und deine richtige Einstellung zum Leben. Ich feier dich! Mach weiter so! Lass dich nicht stressen..... Hau rein

[@ManitheMonkey]

Danke Luca, freut mich wenns gefällt :)

[@limit3dmfg478]

weiter so !! bester youtuber !!!

[@CatM-zz2ci]

Soooo nice 😍 #thankyou #proudformyvillage #leonidio ❤

[@LuizGustavoHafemann]

Very nice film! By the way, I have a suggestion for a video: as someone that mostly climb indoors, I found my first oudoor climb to be very difficult, and didn't really know how to attack it. It would be nice to see a video of how you work out a new route, from the first impressions and attempts up to completing the climb.

[@krayt5875]

Really nice video. As an intermediate boulderer i want to try some outdoor boulder routes. What difficulty reach can I expect, when i go outside the climbing gym that offers nearly every difficulty to try? Do I need to be a pro climber to best even the easiest real boulders?

[@Nickknock3913]

And the maze goes deeper

[@ottoduerr4421]

Maybe I'm completely confused but I searched for Mai Tai by Joakim Karud and found Mai Tai by Jeff Kaale. Anyways I have to say this video is one of the best videos I ever saw on KZbin. Watched it several times now and I have to say I love how you use your camera.=D

[@ManitheMonkey]

That makes me very happy :D A lot of effort went into this one.

[@michaeltheclimber9228]

Hey...how would you compare it to Kalymnos?

[@yannispapanastasopoulos]

Damn I never thought a foreign youtuber would come to Leonidio and make such a beautiful video. 😬😬I have been going to Leonidio for almost 20 years with my family so it's like my second home. I really liked the narration and the simple directing technique. By the way the snow you encountered it's a rare event for Leonidio so you were too lucky! Epic ending in Plaka. Hehe. Keep it up mate. You can check my video about Leonidio too.

[@ManitheMonkey]

Nice to hear from you man, glad you liked the video! Just checked yours - nice one!

[@olebobbyknuckles5730]

Ever thought about a New Zealand trip?

[@tomclimber3125]

great

[@Nachi_Keta]

Saugutes Video :)

[@Sp0nKiNG]

Nice reference to Alexis Sorbas! :D Dance? Did you say dance?!

[@classcougarreynolds]

nice!

[@danielbuijs8647]

I think its a very interesting choice you Made going to that place, but its fun that you didnt choose to go to spain and tried something else. I wanna go there too! whats was the hardest rout youve climbed there (with grade)?

[@ManitheMonkey]

I did 2 8b's so far, A pig in the roof and Orion.

[@danielbuijs8647]

Thats some nice effort!

[@christophbarthel5801]

Oh yeah! This gets me so psyched on my upcoming trip there. Be there in less than a month :) What time of the year did you go exactly? Around new years? I don't fancy any snowstorms since I will be camping :O

[@ManitheMonkey]

Yep I arrived around one week before new years. At the moment it's quite cold and wet again, I hope the weather will be better soon.

[@ceciliesvendsen8119]

Hey mani Im long time vegan and recent fan, really Loving your videos. Ive already been applying techniques from your videos and feeling the difference!! Im heading to Berlin This coming Easter weekend AS a last minute spontaneous plan and have noticed there are Many climbing gyms in Berlin... Any recommendations?

[@ManitheMonkey]

Haven't been climbing or training in Berlin so far, so I have to say I don't know! But I met a lot of climbers from Berlin in Leonidio, there should be a lot of good stuff!

[@juliust5933]

could you shed some light on the camera equipment you use ? i guess you use a tripod when it comes to your bouldering sessions ? :) nice video man !

[@sofiahandeli3703]
