Siurana: A Limestone Paradise in Catalunya | Sport Climbing

It's been near a decade since I was last in Spain sport climbing, but after many years dedication to Trad Climbing, Big Wall and Alpine rock, I am psyched again for clipping bolts! Sport Climbing gets you fit unlike any other discipline in climbing - you just can't get that same balance of finger strength, power and forearm endurance when Trad Climbing, and I realised that if I want to climb some of my big trad projects back home in Scotland, I'd need to be capable of climbing 9a in sport!
This film follows me and my friends as we learn to climb hard sport climbs in Spain, in the process getting a few hard sport projects and building fitness for the epic trad climbs that await elsewhere.
I couldn't make these without the support from my Patreon. Huge thank you to everyone who supports me there, and if you want to take a gander, visit / robbieculannclimbing

Great to see you back Robbie!

[@RobbiePhillips]

Good to be back 😄

[@davidwilson12590]

So glad to see you posting again buddy, always love watching you climb ❤

[@raul2010]

Not sure if it obvious, but Cornualles is the Catalan name for Cornwall

[@RobbiePhillips]

WHAT!? Hahaha Thats so funny. I did wonder what it meant... bizarre!

A day with a Robbie Phillips upload is a good day

[@ontheballcity71]

Sweet. My brother lives in Catalonia; I'll have to head out there soon

[@robertcreer8826]

Great video as always, looks great out there! looking forward to the next one

[@metyu3730]

finally something new for my favourite climbing yter!

[@RobbiePhillips]

Woop 🙌 Thanks dude

[@Det.DustySocks]

I saved this to watch before heading out to a local proj. Your try-hard always psyches me up! Thanks for the amazing footage as usual and congrats on the sends. Can’t wait to see you crush voyage!

[@RobbiePhillips]

Woop! Hope the proj went well 💪 And canny wait to release the Le Voyage footage!

[@Det.DustySocks]

It did! The plan worked swimmingly. Already got one queued up for the next video release!

[@dereknowler5100]

Looking forward to the next part dude!

[@DizzyVizion]

Very nice work! 👍😉

[@crimpchimp]

Welcome back, it’s been a while💪are you going to try / did you try Bon Voyage as well?👀

[@RobbiePhillips]

I didn’t try Bon Voyage, I did try “Le Voyage” though 😜 and I captured Sebs flash of Le Voyage too in the film

[@SammH127]

C’mon now Alfie!! Great video Robbie and good choice with your editor he smashed it! This must’ve been earlier in the season? I see no Alex, Jamie or Kevin..

[@RobbiePhillips]

Yeah this was in the spring. Frustratingly I lost a lot of my winter footage when my hard drive melted 😢 so not quite enough I think for another film, but I’ll shoot next winter on estado and show the progress on that

[@Pepperman86]

That's a world class climbing movie right there.

[@VDB420]

hell yeah

[@lukesonnenburg5006]

Good to see you back on the ´tube!

[@ryantaylor6470]

Fuck yeah!

[@n4boards144]

Didn’t notice you hadn’t edit it so new guy is at least half decent

[@thomasthilkjr2075]

Megos called, he wants he's t-shirt back 😁

[@RobbiePhillips]

Alex’s obsession with the colour yellow is bordering on a psychological disorder, so I think I’ll keep my yellow tshirt thank you 😜

@@RobbiePhillips I'm eating the carrots but they just ain't workin' .

[@RobbiePhillips]

@@paulmitchell5349 I think the purple ones have more steroids in them

[@MissChoccocat]

Fake news! Not enough Bonnie appearances. She's got enough star power to have her own channel 😂

[@RobbiePhillips]

It’s so true

[@paulmitchell5349]

Couldn't they just put the chains at the base? Much easier to clip 'em there youth.

[@julianmcgee5741]

Shouldn't grab the anchor before ye clip it Robbie. Surely ye know that much?

[@RobbiePhillips]

Sorry to break it to you, but that wasn’t actually the send footage 😱 Hence why I didn’t really seem too bothered about getting to the end 😂

[@ConallPratt]

No fkn way. I’ve been bingeing your videos for the past two days and about 4 hours ago I thought “I wish there was some now stuff for this guy”. Absolutely incredible timing and I can’t wait to watch!

[@RobbiePhillips]

Haha brilliant! Well I’ve got another banger coming very soon and some epic projects planned for 2024 so don’t go away 😜

Great to see some sport climbing from your good self. Venga 💪

[@pablolorenzosanchez5183]

Great video man!! I was missing your content so much!!!

[@RobbiePhillips]

Well we’ve got another banger coming soon so stay tuned 😜

[@RealWorldClimbing]

Nice work!!! And yes, that line was beautiful!!!

[@huginsamuelsen]

Another awesome video, Robbie. Cheers!

[@robthomas5157]

Great effort Robbie😊

[@Salmontemaki]

13:42 Where the kneepad go

[@joewinter2794]

Wow wow wow. Who are those Jamie and Fergus guys 😍😍😍❤❤❤

[@RobbiePhillips]

They’re not as good looking in real life

[@jameswjacobs]

Hey Robbie. Amazing video as usual. Your patreon link at the end of the video doesn't work, seems to be the same on the previous video (skye). It's not in the description or your about page either!

[@RobbiePhillips]

Thanks for letting me know! Looks like some funky YT business where it's showing blank for 2 seconds.....will investigate

[@jameswjacobs]

When I click the link I just get a page not found

[@benjiclimbs6665]

Did you remove the kneepad while resting at 13:59?

[@RobbiePhillips]

yeah I did, chucked it off in the big rest before the final crux. I prefer not to climb with Kneepads if I can avoid it and by that point it wasn't necessary anymore

[@UNS33NSHAD0W]

Awesome climbing looking forward to the videos to come

[@jackmccartney4513]

Did the chat in ratho spur you on to upload?🤣 great to see some new content 👍🏼

[@RobbiePhillips]

Haha I did tell you I had 2 vids ready for ages! Just needed a kick up the 🍑

[@jackmccartney4513]

[@joaquimg5361]

Is your dog a catalan shepherd? looks like!

[@RobbiePhillips]

no shes a briard - french sheepdog. Youre right though, they do look very similar

[@carldahlgren7276]

what happend to the kneepad after the rest on the send go?

[@RobbiePhillips]

I chucked it off haha didn’t want it to affect me on the final moves

[@masterpropper2485]

I always throw it off as soon as I know I won't need it anymore.

[@RobbiePhillips]

@@masterpropper2485same! I don’t really like climbing in them… usually if I can avoid I don’t bother, but the kneescum move mid crux was really helpful. Gave me that little shake that was just what I needed 💪

[@GREENMkZ]

You are such an inspiration, your videos always motivate me to go and try harder on my next day at the crag

[@RobbiePhillips]

That’s awesome to hear :) so glad you enjoy them

[@climbjay]

Fucking impressive
