My Girlfriend Set A Really Special Bloc For Nikken

[@EricKarlsson]

I hope you enjoyed this one, It's been a blast working on these last weeks:D

[@vegiimite]

Thanks Eric, love the work you do.

[@LeoThomMusic]

Loved this video Eric. Julia's setting was so impressive, what an insanely sick bloc. Fun seeing Nikken be the star of the show and the problem was perfect for him! I felt like I was watching the world cup too haha. Would definitely watch more videos with Julia's sets.

[@n3v3r1s4]

Seriously, the story-telling, vibes and just everything about Eric's videos these days is like.. poetry

[@Dr_Assassin115]

exactly how i felt watching

[@samuelmettler3755]

You guys are such an inspiration not only as a climber but also as a group. Somehow I just feel so included and proud that somehow you managed to send it in the end, like I was also part of the team. You are all incredible !

[@kavali6320]

Julia managed to set the perfect bloc for Nikken. Setters are really a special kind of artists. In case of Nikken an especially gifted climber, too ;) Eric: colouring, music and slow-mos stood out again. I wouldn't mind seeing more of these kind of videos ;)

[@chaozzah]

Always mad respect to setters that manage to set blocks above their own level. Knowing that it is possible, and also fun, takes a lot of practice. It took him quite some attempts, so I'm guessing it's a 7C(+). Hard as nails.

[@Xenetor666]

This video was absolutely amazing, Eric! Incredible that Julia just hit the sweet spot with the right difficulty for Nikken and he barely managed to send in the end. LOVED every minute of it! Thank you guys so much

[@juleswulms629]

The calm parts where Julia is setting are so nice! We have seen Nikken set so many times, and do many timed challenges, and often times he (is forced to and) does bam, bam, bam, boulder done. This was such a nice contrast to that.

[@andrewmayer8953]

Each video feels like a documentary. Amazing work Eric👌

[@Tristslayer]

Holy shit, Nikken's a monster. Also congrats, that boulder looks insane, proper world cup quality but like twice the length.

[@micahart2980]

This is truly a work of art. At the beginning, I was so scared because I thought it was a goodbye to Nikken. I was so sad, but it looks like it will keep going. I would miss Nikken setting and the boys trying to beat it so much. The setting is absolutely incredible! The different styles, the length, the finesse. It is inspiring. Nikken is just a beast. He is so fun to watch climb. Intuitively, he just gets it. It looks like he was born to climb this hard. Eric, you are one of the most talented KZbinrs I have seen. Each video feels so intentional. You truly are an incredible artist. The way that you change the energy of each moment is amazing. I loved slow-of Nikken when he was working the top section. Nikken is so talented that it is hard to truly show just how much effort and skill he puts in. That clip showed the nuance of the move amazingly. Please keep creating content like this. (But I also love the more chill sessions with the boys. They very much have a place as well)

[@EricKarlsson]

Thank you so much for such a beautiful comment my friend :) I hope life treats you well!

[@gumbynomad]

Another banger! Julia’s setting is so impressive and it’s amazing to see Nikken’s process of working a boulder like this. Can’t wait to rewatch this video like 50 times haha

[@Firetoicee]

I have been binge watching all of your videos, your content is so special your videos are a love letter to everything beautiful about climbing thank you so much

[@philipp-w]

Man, what a video. The start with the Music, seeing people having fun bouldering and the most honest smile of Nikken right after he finished this amazing problem. I don't know what it is but seeing people getting so happy from giving their best and succeding always makes me happy, too. This time so much so, I've (literally) even lost a little tear of joy :,)

[@cooperhaycock4654]

One of the most amazing sets I have ever seen. Julia did such an amazing job! And so cool to have Nikken be the star. Seriously one of the coolest videos ever

[@MrSonny208]

Im gonna comment every video for the same: the editing, the Cristopher Nolans type of suspensful music, the cuts with the music, this actually makes me want to climb even more, such an inspiration, the shots of Julia setting up the boulder, like actually gives a glimpse into what a setter is thinking about. What a terrific job man. Greetings from Colombia!

[@EricKarlsson]

Thank you for the love homie, all the best!

[@skunkingdonuts3734]

It's so funny to see nikken working on something and the guys struggle to start, in a polite way it really shows the hard work he put in

[@KatherineAmi]

this was such a cool video and a beautiful boulder!! it got me all emotional with the videos at the beginning and the way everyone was so happy at the end 😭 Julia did such a good job!!!

[@maelblondel8922]

And here i'am, ending the video with a big banana smile on my face.

[@wesleyfbi]

Damn. Best videos around. Picture, sound and the actual content is so good.

[@k3kkus0]

Amazing stuff as always my friend, got triggered by "Final" in the title, I got worried that this would be your last video or something D: Cheers to the whole crew, especially Julia & Nikken this time!

[@gisesugo]

Insane route and awesome setting skills! Really cool video:) So inspirational to see more woman setters and know what they are thinking while building

[@jeremynicholas4593]

Loved the video! Nikkei is such a beast. It’s so nice to see a handful of buds be silly and try really hard at the same time. Keep it up!

[@introspection3884]

This is the best climbing channel. Underrated

[@clown5911]

Great video guys, The bloc was so sweet, and it was cool to see Nikken's process for breaking down a project. Nice to see him having to try real hard as well.

[@josuekurke355]

This video is a great example of why you guys are one of the best climbing channels on KZbin. So many good vibes. Literal chills at the end.

[@VelascoFlorencia]

It's just become one of my favorite videos: everything was so cool. Thank you!

[@deebongo]

Wow this video made me so emotional. From the setting, to the solving process and the send, this was great storytelling and directing. Had the biggest smile at the end. Thank you for the video!

[@sirPiemanrs]

Always happy to see a video from you!

[@pyre753]

this was so sick. the storytelling through the camera work and editing was terrific. seriously nice work eric!!

[@EricKarlsson]

Thanks homie :))

[@loejohn509]

This was so much fun. You do a great job of using the music to set the mood for the scene!

[@jeremymager4515]

Absolutely amazing! Would love to see Julia set again!

[@marka.6879]

What a masterpiece by Julia! All the amazing styles, then to see the crew struggle to do just a couple moves, and to see Nikken dig deep for the send! Amazing video and amazing boulder problem.

[@biobelette9305]

"The Final Gift" Wait, what? No, not the final one! Then, 20:46 ... Jeez, that was scary :D

[@joeperry9977]

I absolutely loved this. We're so lucky to get to see not only beautiful filmmaking and awesome climbing, but also such kind, supportive and authentic friendships. Thank you for doing what you do Eric.

[@matthewv8226]

I love how intimate this video is. Amazing job as usual!

[@thewateringwiz7118]

What an incredible video Eric !! The editing is so on point, what an fantastic experience ! The boulder was awesome, great set by Julia. Thank you for sharing this with us

[@BennyG35]

Mickey is so white he’s almost camouflaged in front of the holds 😂 amazing boulder Julia! Some super spicey moves 🙌🏻

[@Bug1t0]

wow the setting of this boulder was absolutely amazing, the blend of techniques and styles into one boulder was absolutely amazing

[@JulienBikepacking]

I watch quite a lot of great climbing/bouldering content and to be really honest, this is my favorite channel. Everything is well set, filmed, excellent mood and ambiance! I love you, I wish you the best ❤️

[@jasonchoo3377]

Wonderful story-telling. An incredible opening. Great choice of soundtrack selection. Well done bro.

[@channel1reno]

Truly becoming a great filmmaker and story teller! Great work Eric

[@lafest1637]

You're getting really good with the camera work, editing, and sound choices man, and as a group you guys make for great videos, thanks :)

[@konoryee4125]

Super awesome to see videos like this! Was fun to watch Nikken try hard on this boulder! Great job!

[@Snikwald]

The positive energy coming out of Nikken is unmatched, love you man. Kudos to the routesetter, it is surely not easy to impress him!

[@Dave1507]

What a cool video! the challenge, the setting, the climbing, the music, the vibe! Excellent work all of you guys!

[@sameergawde6683]

nothing but bangers! love the energy as always from you and the crew

[@Tim_flips]

Wow, that was a special one Eric. It's so great to see Nikken get one of the gifts he's been giving out to the other members of the crew. Julia's setting was amazing! It was cool to hear her thoughts, and the final problem was incredibly sick. Seeing Nikken really try hard on the top section was so much fun. Thank you so much for telling us such a great story. Your filming, editing and music choices really bring it all to life. Felt like I was in the gym with you guys.

[@toreygroen6585]

at 7:43 the music is PERFECTLY timed with Nikken's hand movement. bomb editing

[@annhill630]

Once again it’s like setting is an act of love. Haha. Awesome story!

[@Ollie_1997]

What an incredible block and so well shot. One of your best!!

[@lotsofsmiles2777]

What a pleasure to watch! Great content, amazing group and fantastic vibes!! Also how satisfying to see the climber and the setter both being so happy after Nikken completed it.

[@davidprevete9594]

Such a cool video. The style difference was fun to see. Can't wait to see what else is in the future. Climb ON!!

[@SpeciesV1X]

Amazing bloc! So many kinds of climbing worked so seamlessly together

[@ceee8998]

this was awesome to watch. the process of julia building the bloc and of nikken completing it - was so cool. Would love to see more of julia building blocs and others solving it

[@hakonvreb8968]

Loved it. Impressed by how she managed to make such a good problem when it's harder than what she climbs herself

[@Bobbzorzen]

Incredible setting, incredible climbing and incredible film making! Amazing episode!

[@jchoi5488]

14:55 young man is about to rip those holds off the volume lol 😂 way to pull hard Nikken!!! 💪🏼

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

Love these types of videos! Julia's voice is so soothing too!

[@rhettetherington1351]

Absolutely brilliant video. Such a great atmosphere with everyone so up for it. Music was awesome and editing turned it into a must watch. Your videos are just so much better than any other climbing videos on KZbin. Congratulations to you all.

[@alejandrorodriguez5471]

Letsss gooooooo. Been pacing around waiting for my food to cook while drinking and now this. I have been blessed

[@DeastEastBeastFeast]

Everything in this video was high quality!! I would love to see more of Julia’s setting! The bloc was a three course meal for Nikken and he devoured it.

[@vaibhavsokhi7124]

What a sick set! Fantastic editing too, I was on the edge of my seat cheering for Nikken's send by the end.

[@jimmyflipper8093]

Another great video, loved the atmospheric music in the intense sections. You guys killed it, well done ❤️😁💪

[@wassillontherocks]

This channel posts the best content, I can’t even ask for anything specific. Thank you

[@pencilkid1123]

Love these videos and all you guys so much! It feels different watching these compared to other climbing channels and in a good way, it’s calming, motivational and just straight entertaining. You guys make Climbing beautiful

[@mairsilpretner6119]

Amazing setting, at first I thought it seems a little simple when Julia was setting, but she really knows what she's doing. And a great video on it too.

[@tablechaise3211]

Watching your work since ~2016, I'm a climber since 15+ years, I'm still a huuuge fan of the different directions you've choose for your channel. It's getting better and better with years, especially this video (more generally routesetting videos), so keep going ! Thank you for this one and the others.

[@EricKarlsson]

sick that you have been with us that long! Really appreciate the comment, :) all the best!

[@vicentevaliente9943]

Beautiful piece!! Congratulations!! It would be great if you could post the references of the music that sounds. Thanks!!

[@mehmeh8]

Amazing setting, amazing climbing, amazing editing. Thanks Eric

[@ericlo6689]

Loved this one! I would love to try out the problem!!!!!

[@smuir6104]

What a sick boulder!!!!!!! the movement was amazing, almost beautiful

[@theoneatyourdoor87]

Loved this one, and such good people.

[@alexandertimmermans2579]

Great stuff man, these video's are the best thing i watch every week

[@jeremiegarceau4469]

Absolute crazy cinematography on it. WOW !

[@Jagknorr]

Great chill background music and good vibes! 👍 The setting idea (and the set itself) for Nikken was great!

[@lennart5919]

Impressed by Julias routesetting!

[@fabiainski8142]

sooo good of a video! thank you guys

[@fireclub493]

This was great! I’d love to see Julia and Nikken create setting challenges for each other (using creative prompts or specific moves or something). Maybe even a collaborative artistic challenge of creating “the perfect set” or “the most beautiful set” of like 8 boulders from v0 to v9

[@logannm1843]

this was so peaceful to watch, really enjoyed it.

[@driesvanoosten4417]

Legendary. What a boulder and what a send!

[@rightsideofthewrong]

This was AMAZING! Best video!

[@sdrawdEwuH]

Absolutely excellent stuff 👌 top quality all round

[@topf_toepfer]

Dude Eric... You're an artist. I was completely immerged from beginning to end. Thank you. I hope I run into you guys some day, and if I do so I'll buy you a beer or an ice cream or whatever you fancy.

[@EricKarlsson]

I'll take that future beer ;D

[@soumyajitmandal6595]

This just brought a smile to my face, thank you Eric (and the rest of the crew) :) Take care and stay safe! By the way, if you can add the background music / tracks that would be great! I like exploring new music!

[@santinosartoris]

Your videos have been insane lately. So well done.

[@EricKarlsson]

Thanks homie :D

[@papajoe7195]

Siiiick Boulder!!! Big congrats to your girlfriend for this masterpiece!!

[@admobandy4821]

Very cool route, would love to try this one

[@antoc8015]

Amazing video. Amazing set, amazing climbing level from Nikken. A perfect video

[@davidamir85]

Shame I can only give one like! Great setting and climbing! Amazing!

[@deniztoker1732]

[@EricKarlsson]

[@FirstnameLastname-ge3xy]

wow I'm amazed not only at Nikken's climbing but especially Julia's setting!

[@anelivb]

Wow! Nikken is such a beast 💪 Thank you Eric for this video and to your girlfriend for setting a boulder that cool 🙏

[@lucromel]

Nikken slams into the mat, hops back up, "Well, I was really confident!"

[@kdc71425]

Eric, you deserve so many more subscribers than you have, your editing is amazing. Julia, that was such impressive setting. Mickey has replaced Nikken as the white walker.

[@tututurlute1592]

This crew si amazing. Keep going guys French fan since a long time and for a long Time 💪👌

[@Nick-B78]
