The Hardest Problem In The gym 8C/V15 - A honest look at Emil's Climbing.

[@dumajs92]

awesome video but i dont think emil has to stress about needing to talk or climb. take a min to rest and look at the boulder then you will get things to say when you describ what you are thinkin about. i want to know what goes through a 8B climbers head when they look at the boulder. same can be done with every grade of climber. just be natural and it will come. but dont feel stressed. the discussion of the boulde between niken and emil is awesome!

[@smuir6104]

That would make a cool series. The evolution of thought through the grades. Start with a newbie, then go up one grade an episode, each person climbing at their max, and ask them to explain what is going through their head as they try to work it out. It would be interesting to see the evolution as you go up the scale from someone who is new to someone that has built it up over years of practice and effort. Then a summary of the findings. Exploring the psychology of climbing. Eric if you do this idea I want to be your V5 grade, LOL.

I'd love to see a video of a full 1-2h session like this, without any edits!

[@gavintappenden7439]

love the ending Emil. got me laughing, knowing enough is enough. I love the energy, thought and consideration you give to every move you make. keep up the good work, constantly motivating this ole' guy!

Dude... im happy for you. Just hearing that someone else is in that possition makes me realise how happy i will be when the same happends here!! Im in UK by the way. They have a quatantine review on sunday so maybe a few weeks left... fingers crossed!

[@jofe701]

Do u realy think we should start climbing in a Gym right now? It's not over and u can't protect urself at this kind of sport. Just a friendly reminder.

[@kayfodisch8399]

@@jofe701 some gyms in my area (germany) opened a few days ago and the safety precautions are insane, you basically book an area of a wall for 2 hours where you climb alone, the area is about 5 meters i think and between each person has to be one empty area. I think thats pretty safe

[@joak244]

I'm a simple man, I see Nikken, I like the video. Actually, I like every video.

[@stevenswm9844]

Always great when the DYNAMIC DUO join forces at the wall! Fifteen minutes that pass by in a flash!

[@noahsaxenian12]

My personal opinion is that I like seeing the well rested send burns where the climber can try really hard, and that doesn't work with this format. I also think you make really nice edits Eric, so personally I prefer the old format.

[@BiskitBandit]

The lack of cuts removes the cinematic-vibe and turns it into more of a vlog, which is pretty cool. Could be pretty cool to have more videos like this every now and then between your normal uploads! Also, congrats on the Skillshare sponsorship! Well deserved :D

[@jlhkiller9]

3:36 the classic "no-look-top-match-dab" :D

[@edcunningham5562]

Its interesting that emil rests for so little time, might actually be an advantage as it gets you used to climbing the move when fatigued

[@GavynPendleton]

So I don’t think limit bouldering is the right session to do with this format. Gotta give Emil some rests. Video seems rushed. It would be a great format for like a max number of V8 boulders in 15 mins.

[@camilletreillard5439]

This video is awesome, it almost feels like we're with you guys while you're filming it!

[@GUIHTD]

Great channel. Great backlog. Great guy. Thank you. Be well, everyone!

[@YL_AmericadoSul]

The regular format is much better, but if you are able to put a LOT more content out this way it is a good idea.

[@GrinchSMB]

Very nice Video and i liked the concept of it! Actually crazy how fast emil projects such a hard boulder. I realy thought emil would probably rush his attempts a little since the camera is pointed at him for 15 minutes straight, but that's actually his normal resting routine. Very strong! Also, probs to Eric for making this video look so smooth and steady, you are a great Filmaker! Chears from Switzerland :D

[@natureinthecitymusic]

I love this one shot approach! Raw and beautiful. Great filming, Eric.

[@quinnthompson]

Eric, I hope you're doing well! Came back to rewatch this, cause your stuff is so good!

[@MrThidious]

That boulder is GNARLY! Great session!

[@scusi2032]

Would it be possible for you to live stream a Climbing session? on Twitch or something like that

[@natehochuli6457]

I would love this!

[@morgydee]

@@NicolasWelsh livestreaming on KZbin kills exposure on all his other videos, its part of the algorithm, twitch or mixer might be the best option or simply another channel entirely

[@Fred-oz3tw]

like epictv :)

[@knotten33]

Nice, thank you for the two months.

[@oVERGROUND112]

I think the 15 min format would be better put to use when not projecting, just doing hard but do-able problems.

[@hyperfocused3465]

I really liked this video! I want to talk about one take sequences from a filmmaking perspective for a moment. They are done sparingly for two main reasons I see, 1. The planning/intricacies of it and 2. it needs to service the stories. Eric, you did 1 very well, you knew where to go for each shot of the boulder and you kept it dynamic during rests and between boulders; great job. For 2. the service of the story, examples like the hallway fights in Daredevil or Oldboy (original) are great to show it. These fight scenes show how tiring it is, adding to the characters and story. Eric showed this very well with Emil, we saw the effort and how tiring it is, adding to the suspense and intensity of these climbs. I think this elevated the hype for us audience members watching it, and I appreciated that. Not saying all the videos should be one takes, it is a specific tool used for for specific sequences in storytelling, but I appreciated its testing and use here. In my personal opinion, one takes can and should be used in specific parts of bouldering videos as opposed to the whole video (except in this case), you did a really good job with this one!

[@BingoBoom666]

Yo, 15 mins, dont worry about the time. Just keep rolling! Id love to see some longer videos/sessions ✌👌

[@xxconorcregan]

Great video concept for us the viewer but seems tough for ye guys. I enjoyed the video.

[@BafulBo]

Really enjoyed the format. Felt like I was climbing with ya'll :')

[@smuir6104]

I really liked it, I like hearing he and Niken talk through it. It also made me feel better; I am the worst rester there is. I just want to go non stop, not waste a minute when I'm in the gym. I'm no good compared to Emil, but at least I can say we share the same mentality. You guys make this look really good for not editing, for most of us we would not have the practice of hundreds of videos, so I don't think ours would look as good. I also think if you could climb with someone, so it forces you to rest while they are on the wall. I think people could film more group sessions with less editing.

[@joakimbergstrom4347]

this was fun, but yeah, I think the stress of having to do it in fifteen minutes, made Emil talk more than necessary. All seemed abit stressful. But I love this idea, single shot episode. For sure it could've been more than 15 minutes.. unless that's your cameras limit that is. Cool!

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Are you OK? No new vid for over a month. Worried about you.

im usually one of the shittalkers of anything slab but that slab boulder was awesome and beautifully done too

[@raphaelgallais-pou8673]

Yessaï, I dunno if I have to watch this video or listen to my boss's videocall

[@davidsimpson3885]

seeing emil struggle on the 2nd problem made me, for some reason feel really good about myself, cos I love that kind of problem, and deffenately plays to my strengths, would love to have a go on it to see how i compare, as most of the Problems he sends Effortlessly I wouldnt have a hope in hell of doing, Emil is an absolute Beast but love Nikkens climbing as he takes it a little bit slower and more controlled alot of the time, which is more the style I aspire to achieving.

[@TheJustinConnor]

Sweet! Use this format when you need a break from editing. Doesn’t have to be kept strictly to 15 mins tho! I would love a 30+ min sesh of the same variety... also Emil looking strong AF

[@rocksquirrel7136]

wow, such strong bouldering! I WILL, one day, become such a strong climber like him! :)

[@lgreenberg20]

EPIC climbing from Emil. EPIC filming from Eric. Aw ye

[@raphaelgallais-pou8673]

You don't have to talk all the time... I mean, when you do a sequence when the climber just look at the boulder, thinking of his beta is awesome also ! Even if we know that Emil doesn't have any beta, cause he flashes everything ;)

Well Nikken confirmed that this is basically how he usually climbs. Emil doesn't do resting :p (around the 15:30 mark)

[@TuvofLuv]

Hey! How's things going for you?

[@hampuscalmeras6047]

i want to see nikken do the first boulder

[@SidewinderINC]

Really interesting, that video *seemed* a lot shorter than the cut/edited videos, even though it's not. Definitely the fact that it's really just 15 minutes of climbing I think takes away from the feel of the video. Even if another video that took you 5 hours to film for just 10 minutes, would feel like a longer video. So the answer is, yes, you can make a video with minimal editing skills, but is it the right thing to do.

[@tonyluvbalony6837]

Out here in the Netherlands we have been quarantined since February and they just announced that climbing gyms won’t open until at least September. Pray for us :(

[@thomasyo75]

Dude chill.

[@andrewpulsipher6760]

I liked the no cut style, I wouldn't be bothered if there was more silence because there was nothing to say. Maybe the camera guy can think of some questions to ask during if you feel there should be some audio. How long did it take to set? Home many sessions do you think it will take to send? What would you change if you had to lower the grade? Stuff like that maybe... great video nonetheless.

On the second boulder it looks like he keeps toe hooking the yellow foot hold with his left foot. you can see it at 5:38 and 7:32

[@KirstenRietveld]

I think he's using the wall next to it, seeing the way he kinda moves away from it at 5:42. He just slides past it instead of moving a bit more to the left to get out from underneath the yellow hold and then up.
