loving the montage of impossible to possible. Would be cool to see incremental progress on a long term hypothetical move.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

I’m super keen to make a hard hard one and see how it comes together. Will be sure to share that 😀

[@eggztet2436]

The videos Tom are always so great and get me psyched. Keeping posting will always enjoy them🥰

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Thanks mate, psyched to hear you enjoy them. More to come for sure :)

[@AlexGalvezz]

I love your channel❤. When I see a video I think it should be longer because I'm enjoying it and learning a lot. But I just thought that the short video format hit right on the point, and there's less time in between one and another video.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Psyched to hear you’re enjoying them 😀. Haha yes the game of ‘how long should this video be’ is a tricky one. Doing my best not to waste peoples time with too much fluff and nonsense

[@billy44talent]

The board is proving itself as top tier. Knew you would be able to set something great based on your older board vids. Would love to hear your thoughts on the upcoming 2024 Australian athletes. Looks like Ben Abel is in great form. Oceania Makenzie doing well in the IFSC this season too.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Happy with the set for sure. The comp will be fun to see. Oce obviously climbing very well and I think the men will be tight. Campbell and Dylan are also doing well atm

[@jumpingjackflash00]

Great video! Love seeing the process and nuanced changes to solving difficult problems

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Psyched to hear you enjoyed it. Fun to piece the bits together and show part of the process ✌️

[@joolsgrommers1466]

Yes to more board froth! Pretty psyched on three sessions atm: this kind of project session on any board (I live in shef, so loads to choose from.) “10min takedown” where you have 10mins to work out moves, 5min rest and then a single send go. And a ‘flash or trash’ session on a Moon or Kilter where I do around a dozen flash attempts at flash level. Boards are ace!

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Oooo I love the idea of the 10min takedown. That’s very cool! I’m going to have to try that one out. Nice 👌

[@adamhaas141]

Initially, I didn't watch your new board climbing videos because I hated you out of envy. Then, I had the chance to check out a brand new training gym that opened my hometown called The Board Room. As a consequence, I no longer hate you.🙂 Bring on the board froth!🌅

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Well that was a wild ride of emotions for me as I read 😂. The Board Room sounds like a dreamy place! Nice to have that nearby. Frothin’ to have you here for the boards and sunsets 😀✌️. More to come, now you can handle it 😉

[@DanA-bt7dr]

Frothy! That first project looks very condition dependent. Season is ending up here in Canada and I'm feeling strong and psyched to train, but already tweaked myself one session in. Do you have any videos your approach to injury prevention / rehab? Cheers Tom.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Ahh sorry to hear about the injury. That sucks. I haven’t made one yet, but it’s on my list. Might need to move it up the ladder as a few folk have asked about it recently. Must be something in the water

[@bigdog5112]

Could you talk about how you set a little more. You seem to set a lot of powerful/hard boulders with good/open hand holds. I find it hard to set anything hard unless the holds get small on my wall.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Can certainly cover that in upcoming vids

[@fishsticks248]

Awesome video! Have you ever thought about making a video explaining your process from deciding to compete in the olympics to actually getting there :D

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Haha yes it’s on the list. I’ll need to make it happen soon 😀. It was a bit of a crazy journey

[@billy44talent]

@fishsticks248 He’s talked about this on a podcast with Aiden Roberts. It was a great listen. A little bittersweet because it seems like we wont get to see Tom compete again anytime soon

[@teemunnee]

Awesome video as always. I love those wood holds but can't find anything called block cartel, do you have links to their holds?

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Bloc Cartel. Find them on insta. He’s getting a website happening soon

[@benjaminsargent2317]

Hello Tom, loving your content!! Can you please give me the model name and brand of those big blue, fluor red and green slopers? 🤩

[@TomOHalloranAus]

The blue and pink are Rubber Hold, the greens are flat hold. I love them all

[@khakicam5400]

Great insight, thanks. What's the name of the hold maker BTW? Thought you said block cartel but couldn't find them online.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Bloc cartel. Check them on insta. I'm giving him a bum kick to get a website up atm 😂

[@FozzTheBoss]

Cool! What would you reckon the grade is on the last problem?

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Around V13 I think

[@Socko-ob2dp]

Hey Tom, are you going to compete in the oceania qualifier for the Olympics?

[@TomOHalloranAus]

No. There’s a big part of me that wants to, but a bigger part of me that wants to do a lot more other things 😀. Maybe I’ll try for LA in 2028 haha

[@Socko-ob2dp]

​@@TomOHalloranAuswould have loved to see you compete again however psyched to see what else you have planned (hope you'll share here on yt) :)

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Lots of fun to come 😀

[@SpartaSpartan117]

Frothin'

[@TomOHalloranAus]

As ever 🤪

Why are likes hidden?

[@TomOHalloranAus]

How do you mean? You can’t click like or the count is hidden? Not sure what’s happening there

[@mkayontour]
