The REALITY of being a 🇯🇵 PRO Climber

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thank you Hayato! This was an incredible deep dive and I learned so much while editing it. I saw it 50+ times and had a chance to re think things about my own climbing. I tried my best to make the subtitles as clear as possible but I understand that its a deep conversation and I also have my own bias understanding japanese. I recommend watching it more than once! I had to make the decision of either making it much longer or making it simpler, I hope I managed the right balance and you guys can enjoy 🔥

[@dodoinstars]

You have gone deeper in the wonder of the Japanese climbing scene than any other "high" quality climbing channel by pure curiosity and joy. Really enjoying your insight. Hope you manage to stay as long as you want in Japan.

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

WOW that you feel that way blows my mind really. This just made my week. I always just make the videos I would've love to have seen when I want living here, and I'll keep on doing that 🔥

[@bourgeoispop]

Probably the only video in this vein where Japanese is exclusively spoken in the interview, thank you for the great video

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thanks!! For sure we could do a bit on English but since there were some deep topics I wanted Hayato to be able to really express his feelings without the language barrier

[@evanrossow6150]

Good luck in the BJC Hayato!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

🤞

[@sandaclimbing]

Great video!! Good luck to Hayato 😊

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thank you!! 🔥🔥

[@carlobenettoni4271]

Super interesting insights into Japanese competition scene! Keep up these kind of videos

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

I will! I have like 5 collabs like this lined up over the following months. I want to at least have one of these per month 🔥

[@kentcowthe]

This is quality content! Your videos are getting better and better!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thank you!! I've been learning a lot, and taking a step back at the end of last year to think helped focus on what really mattered

[@kentcowthe]

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing a video suggestion, might be a boring topic but could be fun to deep-dive into the business and culture of gyms in Japan. Having lived in Japan for the last 3 years I've accumulated probably around 30+ gym registration (登録料). It would be fun to see your opinion about it, maybe post B-pump as they have one of the most controversial ways of making money as they charge you per branch. Also, why is the gyms so much cheaper in Tokyo than in Osaka? What's happening. lol

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

I think it's an interesting concept, maybe not a stand alone video but would be a good mention if I ever do a video about climbing in Japan in general I think it's just the density of gyms here is nuts so there's a lot of competition to drive the price down, especially having a lot of student climbers the day pass (as long as you leave before peak time) is crazy cheap 1100 at Bpump I think 700 at noborock It's insane and also breeds strong climber's since students are broke

[@freddiedaniel6020]

Another banger video!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@seanhirano991]

Good luck to Hayato! Great video! It was awesome getting to meet you and see you guys film a bit! If you’re ever in Hawaii let’s climb!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thanks Sean! It was really nice to meet you (and also see you like 4 times after that 😂) I'm glad you saw the behind the scenes Sure will! 🤘

[@juliusdenizhan1226]

Great video mr!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Glad to see that the editing marathon was worth it 😂

[@Erynzindulge]

oh wow awesome video!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thank you!! Really appreciate it

[@Shinoku911]

Already subscribed to both! Maybe a content idea, it would be nice to sometimes put a pure climbing video with some good melody/deep music something like Ross Fulkerson Uncut blocks videos 💪

[@VickyAdelia-bs2yu]

Second this. I am partial to deep house/deep music kinda stuff... yeah, Ross hasn't posted for a while now. But like his videos for sure

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thanks for your support 🙏 I don't usually do that but the closest thing would be a recent video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHa3gWV7oc96rbcsi=0Oz8-bTqoi0IB1Ic

[@johnnymuller7454]

„On Rest days I come to places like Ogikubo to climb as much as possible.“ Is the most climber thing to say

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Lol, maybe my bad on the subtitles. It should be days off (from work)

[@gingobingo1567]

High quality video, nice!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thank you! I hope it wasn't too hard to watch with so many subs, that's the hardest thing I've been facing lately

[@gingobingo1567]

@@CrispyCrimpsClimbing Nah the subs aren't a problem imo but idk about others though.

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Great to know. I think it took up the same amount of time as everything else so it's a big plus to hear it was okay

[@andershermo]

i love his sight on hard problems. instead og getting mad it puts a smile on his face and he keeps going. also is the bjc live streamed anywhere in eu? wanna check it out if i can

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

I think they stream it on KZbin!

[@carevy1962]

Your best video so far

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thank you!! It really means a lot, it was an editing marathon 😅

[@patrick4069]

Good luck Hayato!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

🔥🔥

[@j4972-q7e]

You got this Hayato! I'm rooting for you! Is there a place to watch the BJC online?

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

If I'm not mistaken they'll live stream it on KZbin!!

[@kaba0421]

Ganba Hayato! I’ve been to B pump Tokyo and meet you guys, you’re super nice!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

🔥🔥🔥

[@middle-agedclimber]

Getting on a Japanese bouldering team must be one of the toughest challenges known to men... Ifsc rules suck so bad. 4 people from the strongest nation is ridiculous.

[@whomwhom1969]

Incredible vid as always! I have a question about his advice to try many hard climbs. I find it difficult to know how much I should push myself on hard climbs. I fear if I may get injured by trying my max power repeatedly. Do you have any tip on when to stop when trying hard? I climb max at V7 (1-2 kyuu in average Japanese gyms?). Looking forward to see your performance on BJC, Hayato-san!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Thank you!! 🙏 I see, if you think about it that is actually the hardest most important question in climbing, load management. If you push too hard you break, but if you don't you don't improve. Personally I would say there's 2 big things. 1. Understanding your own body, it takes years but it is an important skill so cultivate it. For sure getting a coach helps and also every once in a while having a friend say that you can do a boulder can be enough to know that physically you're there 2. Look at other aspects, can the beta be improved? Am I actually giving real tries or are they only 70% because I don't think I can do it (these are the worst since they still load your body but you don't learn much), are you focusing on diet/sleep? It's hard to say without knowing but looking at it from micro and macro will help guide yourself 🔥

[@whomwhom1969]

@ Thank you for your advice! Sounds like I need to experiment more on how much my actual max is. That understanding it is actually a skill is a great tip! Looking forward to your new vids! 😊

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Yeah! It's a constant experiment so it takes a long time I'll keep them coming 🔥

[@aidanuy]

Amazing video! It's incredible that we got to see a deep dive into Hayato's training and mindset. It's good to know that even professionals get sucked into gaming addictions LOL. Good luck in the BJC Hayato!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

😂 gaming is dangerous Coming from a former addict

[@franck9316]

Where can we watch the BJC ??

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

If I'm not mistaken you can watch the Livestream on KZbin

[@lhitman2222]

Apex? What a soldier💪🏽

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Truly is 😂 hitting over 2k hours in a year is dedication

[@lhitman2222]

@CrispyCrimpsClimbing it really is damn😂😂 he must be atleast masters or predator in ranked

[@dreadcoil]

how is the toe doing?

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Much better! Thanks for asking. There'll be a new R2V10 video in about 2 weeks with a deeper dive 🔥

[@scottwangkl8882]

Gamba to Hayato!

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

🔥🔥

[@tele78428]

Does "The Red Guy" mean that guy who always wears TEAM SWISS uniform?

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Lol yeah, he's a friend of hayato, maybe if this video blows up he'll be open to a Collab 🤔

[@tele78428]

That’d be cool! Looking forward to it.
