The Insiders: Sasha DiGiulian, Ashima Shiraishi, Paul Robinson Shred in the Climbing Gym

Sasha DiGiulian, Ashima Shiraishi, Paul Robinson, and Vasya Vorotnikov, show what's possible in a climbing gym, shot at Central Rock Gym. "There's an infinite number of movements that can be done in the climbing gym..."

[@fanruszaniaztrojki1508]

Man I watched it like 10 years ago for the first time and still watching from time to time

[@raineq4412]

I seriously love that last part where the dude is like "why don't you try?" to Ashima, not expecting she can do it then he's like holy shit this little girl is strong

[@benjaminhuxley1841]

First watched this video in 2011 when I was 13, the next day I went climbing, and have never stopped

[@Christmas7731]

I used to do bouldering and did for a while before a moved town and discovered that my new town did not have a bouldering centre, only a rock climbing centre. I loved climbing ans decided to try it anyway. Surprise surprise, I found out I am not the biggest lover of heights! Even tho I have the technique and strength to climb most of the walls, I haven't finished one yet because I usually get scared of the height when near the top. So I took it as a personal challenge, not to let this fear control me and continue to climb anyway. Each day one stone higher. Yesterday I climbed to the top of one wall for the first time! Amazing!

[@sarazawadzki]

I totally understand, when I first started climbing, just the feeling of the ceiling getting closer as I climbed higher freaked me out! Now I don't care and I love it! Totally got over my fear! The one thing I can't overcome is the fear of lead falling....

[@drew2pac]

Trust me dude, I freaked out at 6ft up the first time. Now climbing 15m walls. It is just a case of getting used to it and gaining confidence in your equipment. I assure you, my fear was BAD! I used to get vertigo climbing down from the loft on a ladder. Stick at it :)

[@sarazawadzki]

Same thing! :)

[@harambeboy]

You WILL gain confidence in your equipment. Double check you and your partner every time, climb on.

[@topanteon]

Jamille Vicente That's rock climbing. Gotta break down the fear.

[@paulanthonysayer]

This film is shot so so nicely. I love the exaggerated camera movement as the climber ascends the wall. Very effective.

[@ashwilliamsDE]

"When I first went to the climbing gym I was terrible but I loved it." Same here! I'm climbing for about 8 months now and I'm getting better and better. It is like an addiction!

[@gavinyoukers3800]

Are you still climbing

[@lucymcginty2640]

This must be the tenth time I watched this, seriously

[@blinx738]

I know right

[@Gullshunter]

+Luciella Ann it's my favourite climbing video

[@sanderv941]

Only the tenth?

[@arwo1143]

Children have a higher ratio of muscle per kg body weight Kids can do some serious shit

[@sportclimbing]

[@KevinGong_UCB]

Songs listed: @11:20 -Mono Rail - Mr Kojak -When You're Dead - Wow -Start Slow - Andreas Beats -Sweet Flower - Malakai -Ticino Royal - The Sun Wukong Project

[@kevinmurphy7803]

Sometimes I watch this just to get a good cry about my life in before I go to bed.

[@skater247247]

Dude does anyone else's palms get sweaty from watching people climb?

[@vee4642]

Chalk?

[@nyrbsamoht]

***** cheater

[@DirtySocrates]

Jake Ruth Can confirm. Palms sweating. Need rocks to climb.

[@luvanimals2002]

Me. Sweating like crazy.

[@Calphurnious]

The climb that started at 8:30 looks really fun!

[@BrendonN]

Becoming quite obsessed with climbing videos. Watching people climb get's me so amped up, I think this sport is for me. Such an awesome mixture of mind and body. Great video.

[@adityapradhan7201]

I just started indoor climbing, It is such an amazing sport! Thanx for uploading this inspiring video guys! :)

[@CyborgJesus69]

WOW! what an inspirational video. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this happen. Amazing.

[@110Genesis]

This video brought me to the climbing gym. I'm climbing for 10 years now!

[@warlocksarewatching]

That upside down toe hold was fucking insane~!

[@sillygoose4866]

It's called a bat hang if you wanna look up more videos on youtube :)

[@aaronlong9258]

yes thats called a bat hang

[@diabl2master]

Not Totally Unfunny That whole climb was totally amazing, and the toe hold was the pinnacle!

[@Squids_Vlogs]

climbing inside is fun, but nothin beats the great outdoors!

[@TheMorMor]

Indoor climbing is just masturbation.

[@c.j.macleod9855]

Henrik Sommerland when your reply has more likes than the comment

[@hotshot4239]

That’s true

[@thrillseekerholds5907]

True story :)

[@dkennell998]

Awesome segment, superbly filmed.

[@TheMorMor]

I am having such a serious nostalgia trip here! I watched this video when i got home from climbing for the first time, I was so psyched about climbing back then.And since then i have been climbing for 15h a week.

[@TheSuperkatie]

I climb, but my gym seems like a playground compared to that, 😢😃

[@mineman4535]

My hands sweat when I watch this

[@thrillseekerholds5907]

Try watching "Free solo" and let's talk about sweaty hands then :D

[@santizetak]

Great video! Really liked the approach you guys took! Time for people to see what indoor climbing's all about... very neat. Congrats

[@chinh101]

so inspiring. thanks guys!

[@butterbear4590]

Oh my gosh I had regionals there RIGHT WHERE VASYA VOROTNIKOV CLIMBED OMG OMG OMG I CLIMBED RIGHT WHERE HE CLIMBED!!!! I'm like freaking out right now...

[@Fadilanse]

i just admire these climbers

[@panzerpol8]

Amazing inspirational video!!! i really want continue climbing seeing this kind of videos!

[@BowsersBA]

This totally inspired me to up my setting game. Gorgeous forces!

[@xdacunha]

3:49 8 years old and doing a flag, I feel useless

[@r2Kd0ugernaut]

harbolkn that is absolutely ridiculous, her weight to strength ratio must be atrociously great haha

[@caterpillartitz]

Flagging is one of the first techniques you learn though

[@sillychinas]

Reanna hall wrong type of flagging. Flagging is a core exercise where you hold your entire body straight from your hands.

they are really soo sooo strong.

[@FiveTimesRedMen]

Excellent film with all the climbers showing amazing strength and technique. I smashed my ankle on a wall 11 days ago and needed two plates to sort the break so watching these amazing climbers is as close as I am getting to climbing for about the next four months :p

[@Luddite72]

Awesome! Great route setting, way outside the realms of normal thought. I love it.

[@NateAnimations]

I can't believe all these famous climbers where in my home gym

[@marshallhelmsMW3]

Feels good to know that Paul said he was horrible makes me have some hope.

[@andreazavanella9465]

When he says he was horrible he probably means he could climb 5.10 on his very first day ...

[@lucasuy6464]

Andrea Zavanella just let him dream on

[@Lucy-ng7cw]

I could do 5.10 within my first week. It's not that hard. After a few months I'm now doing 5.11 c

[@Lucy-ng7cw]

***** sorry. I didn't mean to be. No need to be rude, mate.

[@Lucy-ng7cw]

It's all good. I was bragging a bit. Haha

[@hbfsm92]

Great vid about indoor climbing!! very well filmed and edited! I did just start out in climbing, but I love it already!

[@adem1r]

@FirkinFilms muchas gracias from mexico the sky is the limit thank you, your video is amazing

[@cwesley2005]

My palms are sweating. Wow

[@thispersonsdad7247]

Knees weak arms are heavy

[@shoppy112]

You need to fucking love this :-)

[@TheRockreator777]

I LOVE THIS!! I CLIMB EVERYDAY AFTER WATCHING ALL THESE VIDS AND THEY GET ME SO PUMPED TO CLIMB!!! THANKS BIG UP!!!!!

[@amigo2x]

Thank you!

[@KillianDefaoite]

that young asian girl is very good

[@esspro]

Ashima

[@esspro]

The New York Times has called her a Bouldering Phenom

[@1betrieb1]

Lets hope she keeps climbing at that level.

[@Atristiel]

I'd like to climb but I know I wouldn't be able to lift myself off the ground. I've spent most of my life in front of a computer so I'm weak, skinny and without stamina.

[@dom_worth]

Thats why you should start training small with weights and your own body weight, and progressively start climbing higher and harder😊

[@1031seanito]

Go to a gym and just climb the easiest routes they have, when those routes become too easy go up a grade. Do that consistently 2 or 3 times a week and you will be shocked at the progress you will make. When I first started climbing I was pathetically weak as well, but 6 months later im pushing 5.11d routes and making steady progress. Its an amazing hobby that has changed my life for the better and helped me to meet new people. Try it!

[@googoochung]

Everyone's gotta start somewhere. Just give it a try and have fun with it. I couldn't lift myself off the ground when I first started either. Enjoy!

[@threethirds6719]

The first 3 times I want to a climbing center I didn't even finish a route, but it's amazing how quickly you make progress when you stick at it, just don't give up! :D

[@benoo258]

It's all about the technique. Firstly you have to enjoy it, then it comes automatically.

[@cliffhangergirl]

Watching this makes me so Pumped!!! I just got my first V7 and I am eager to keep training to get as good as I possibly can :)

[@ilovegus1019]

This is awesome. After watching this I was able to finish my climbing project in the team I'm in.

[@tranhau3818]

Climbers of this sport must have extremely strong fingers?

[@OneDerscoreOneder]

climbers of the sport of climbing do have strong tendons and forearms

[@rachelkim3652]

Sure, you have to have strong fingers, but I feel like it’s more of a whole body thing, y’know?

[@tomassadilek6698]

Shit my pants :)

[@MichalSada]

dobry jumpy :) a pohupy

[@MichalSada]

ale tak bez lana zatim nelezes, ne :)

[@tomassadilek6698]

tak zatim ne no :)

[@upsignerman]

Amazing footage.

[@Bodinangel]

Amazing video! very inspirational

[@gicking3898]

Is it a criteria that female climbers have to be good looking? Most girls in these types of videos are quite pretty

[@crazyforcandy360]

+GICking Are you serious? Look at the skill they have! Check out Ashima's recent videos and interviews. They didn't choose her because shes pretty, they chose her because she's badass.

[@Popcornio]

+GICking Considering they are near the top of the game for a very physically intense sport, the looks sort of go hand-in-hand.

[@gicking3898]

+Popcornio Fair enough point

[@kurokamei]

+GICking i think everyone would look pretty/beautiful when they are especially fit and strong.

[@Squids_Vlogs]

Ashima is a bikini model

[@tomkolo100]

ASHMIA, almos 9? why you no doctor yet?

[@GabAxe]

I began this week and I'm sooooo in love!!!

[@Neon1024]

Utterly fantastic, you gusy are super talented, some amazing moves! Loving the upside down traverse from a toe hook! Awesome

[@pentyjr]

its great seeing everyone leading!

[@gldi8hr]

[@SabRina-cj2pu]

[@resonantbodies]

[@MarkDavies10]

Great vid! Inspiring!!

[@mbchannelworld]

Wonderful Production

[@TheMuffinManDruryLn]

Cool. Thanks for the information Mr. McKenzie.

[@liquidpixel]

absolutely amazing, really inspiring climbing from everyone!!!!!

[@BurnShadow1]

I love climbing... I climb since one year and the insiders make me dream :) thanks

[@LearningFast]

Excellent quality video and I love the the fact that Bigup stepped outside of the bounds from most climbing videos. All of these climbers are amazing but Ashima is exceptional for her age. I look forward to many more climbing videos of her from Bigup in the future.

[@TranceTroubleExtreme]

awesome video, love to see more :)

[@JTDavis623]

I climb at Western Carolina University and every time someone ask me what I do I could never find a video that properly expressed it. Well, The Insiders has given me that and given me inspiration to perfect my skills. Rock climbing is definitely an underestimated sport. I am glad to say I am a climber.

[@1810CJMLBS]

Very inspiring. Great video

[@wrestlersandiego]

Very inspired by this video. As a new climber knowing what is possible in this great sport is simply exhilarating.

[@wondersoxx]

That was SUCH a beautiful climb at the end! Wow, just beautiful!

[@tumblefish]

Simply put. Inspiring.

[@panchatka]

I watched it like 50 times and still come back to this one

[@GoneFollows]

fantastic video

[@bjburgett976]

Great video!

[@aaronlong9258]

[@steveanddunks]

Hey guys, really enjoyed watching that, well made and some excellent climbers and techniques. Thanks

[@golferchin76]

I just picked up this sport and seeing these climbs these people really amaze me and give me inspirations.

[@Simvanlee]

[@ricardolee7783]

Friggin awesome video!

[@MaartenVanTongel]

[@slappy1233]

[@Markjick]

Such an appetite and feel for the environment. Beautiful!

[@MCjuvinile]

@bleedingxhearts2 in climbing lingo it means sticking a move or completing a route/problem.

[@lucasaaron2315]

im so excited to start climbing again

[@FlashySenap]

I'm seriously thinking of starting with indoor climbing, this is one heck of a inspirational video!

[@joshuaplatko949]

Did you ever start, if so how are you doing now

[@houltmac]

Another great BUP video... I want to climb, right now!

[@bribrad7]

I've recently become obsessed with rock climbing. I'm definitely not the best, and don't plan to become the best, but it is such an individualistic sport and it's unlike any other sport. It's physically and mentally challenging and always makes you want to progress. Even though I am just beginning, I already feel welcome to this family of people that do this; everyone is so happy and motivating and never negative to each other, it seems like a family and I'm happy to be a part of it now hahaha.

[@Tenfdy]

the orange route at the end looked very enjoyable to climb. very nice.

[@pdcopeland727]

This is the most beautiful gym I've ever seen

[@TheMJMANALO]

We need more videos like this one! =)

[@jasminetomca]

great video - really cool music too :)

[@evan7123456]

@ Arrygoo - It's Central Rock in Worcester, MA. Josh (who is on screen at the 1 min. mark) is the lead route-setter. It's a great gym.

[@Highbar250]

This place looks amazing

[@tim1234567890tim1]

at 6:19, does anyone know the company that makes those orange pinches he is using?

[@Tyler2534]

those routes all looked so awesome

[@visquos]

Does anyone know where i can get the song Sweet Flower by malakai? cant find it anywhere!

[@guppish]

i have seen this video like 20 times it just keeps getting better XD

[@MattSwisher]

great vid!!!!!!!!

[@EverythingisFire]

Man, this is great. I need to go to my local climbing gym and get started!

[@mynameisjovann]

When i first saw this vid it was 100,000++ views now its 1 million!!! This sport is getting more famous and i love it
