As someone who is interested in videography and have filmed and edited videos for years, I'm not sure people appreciate the insane skill Eric possesses. This video has stunning framing and angles, beautiful DoF, exactly the right music, great audio and still somehow manages to feel like just some quirky vlog between friends. How can you keep such athenticity while creating such a cinematic video? Hat's off, Eric. You've come a long way since I've started following you!

Sick video, and crazy watching people who always seem superhuman actually at their limits. I get it maybe wouldn't be as interesting cause all you guys are super strong, but it would be really cool to see Nikken set a commercial set. Like how he keeps it fresh and tests people's skills on the regular V1-5 circuit rather than for complete monsters.

Obviously this boulder was (is) a fight for both of them, the struggle was real, but the moves actually looked super cool and it didn't look like the typical super hard, yet disguising, problem. Nikken looked super close on it, however it's kinda nice that *SPOILER ALERT* no one sent it, otherwise it wouldn't have seemed so hard and we would have all gotten what we wanted... and that just isn't bouldering, haha. Awesome video, as always.

of course it's indoor V14, so probably isn't a real V14, but ondra doesn't usually flash V14...although i do think ondra with a kneepad might be able to rest almost completely on the kneebar which would make the boulder much easier for him

@asonei3531 2 жыл бұрын
indoor grades are almost always a little bit blown up, so i'm sure nikken would not grade it V14 outdoors...and without feeling the holds and the exact angle of the wall, you certainly can't assess the difficulty of the climb from afar, so 8A/8A+ might also be quite far off...
