this boulder has remained unsent for 5 years… until now?

[@sgh729]

Some of my favorite videos are "Louis Climbs hard boulders". YeeHaw Louis!

The real Escape Room challenge is leaving your project undone, knowing it’s going to be stripped 😆

[@DeanoDrives]

😂

[@RextheDinoGD]

I hate the route strippers

[@firebirdsreality1412]

Luckily it's the perma set

[@allen.9]

@firebirdsreality1412 if you heard in the beginning, they are taking it down soon.

[@boulder_matt]

Thank you for validating that this thing is indeed overcooked. While I'm not flashing or smashing out V10+ outdoors, I always saw this problem as a completely different beast to V10s I've done or tried indoors (gym or on boards) and thought maybe I was just terrible... turns out its just nails!

[@Mysticlavalamp]

The edit with him explaining the moves and then showing the moves is insane and dope asf

[@AnnaNibbs]

Yeah, that was some absolutely stunning editing right there! 😍

[@ayuminor]

Proper mission impossible heist plan montage vibes!

[@AnnaNibbs]

@@ayuminor 100%

[@daveguy_]

the last go-saga was the most relateable thing in any bouldering video

[@coopgipp345]

I actually really enjoyed watching a video focussed solely on one climb. Really interesting and useful to see Louis' projecting process!

[@fpswreck538]

i have a suggestion for before you walkthrough the climb maybe do a pan of the climb so we can pause the video and try and read it ourselves i try to do this to practice my route reading and to see how far off i am the way you do it haha would be good though

[@BlackdownBlocs]

Congratulations on your Ninja Warrior performance, Louis!

[@SuedeNWings]

This was a beautiful video talking about how trying and failing is important to all levels of climbers.

[@GJ-bq9hd]

For anyone curious about the "brazilian espresso", that type of coffee is commonly called as a "cuban espresso" or just "cuban coffee". Went looking for it because I too am brazilian and never heard of it (but had drank it without even knowing what it was lol)

[@thomglunt]

Yeah! Was coming to say it's "cuban coffee" and had a ton of it in Miami. So good. Hope the editor at Catalyst will tell Louis.

[@AnnaNibbs]

I really need to try this. It sounds delicious.

[@milancv]

I'd be excited to see Erin try this one. Great vid, Louis. Thanks for all the lessons in your vids, I improved my climbing a bunch thanks to you.

[@noahpfeifer6931]

I thought of Erin as well. I´m sure she`d crush it.

[@AnnaNibbs]

I can genuinely picture the McBeast doing this in my mind.

[@crunchie101]

Absolutely epic effort. Awesome to see Louis' teaching style applying to himself too

[@RPD_ps]

You need to come back! I want to see that sent

[@gildasperrot8714]

In addition to being an excellent climber and a top teacher, Louis is the kind of person you would like to have as a friend!! In any case, he is a great source of inspiration for me!! Always great videos on your channel. Keep it up . Hello From France

[@donovanocallaghan5451]

Loved the intro and loved the process of learning and persistence. It'd be great to hear if/when anyone collects the bounty.

[@romulofarias396]

The joy of you being so relatable is hard to express, we all should have last one counters in our sessions 😂

[@Cqat1]

Louis you've gotta give this a 3rd session of gos! You're so close to sending it, it's definitely going down next session!

[@GeorgeLupton]

That was a superb video showing why we all love bouldering. It's a ridiculous sport when you look at it, but so much fun.

[@josephpetty1522]

Dang Louis! Wanted this so badly for you as I'm screaming "come on" at my computer. Great video!

[@clarehiggins5398]

Excellent edit! He's right, best intro but also a lot of cool sequences in here. Well done!

[@grahamemacmullen7731]

Great work. Loved the tussle with the door, the “Brazilian” coffee, the twenty or so last goes! Croywall has a lot of fun climbs. They should keep it up and invite top climbers to try to flash for cash!

[@nilsp9426]

Much love for the boulder breakdown footage! A great addition to the channel.

[@yeagerdd]

I had to count the tries to motivate myself and man those were more than 30 tries. I gotta be more patient with myself. Thanks for the lesson

[@pavelkryl457]

10:00 intermediate climber here (6c-7a max, so V5 i think? boulder grades are strange...), I think this is the best advice I've heard in the last year.

[@nilsp9426]

You nailed the one more go vibes with the music choice!

[@brendanacord]

very entertaining intro and last go counter!

[@maisieccino]

We love to see an Ink cameo 🐈‍⬛

[@kierand823]

Awesome video and incredible editing. Great to see some super hard climbing this soon after Christmas!

[@Kraaketaer]

Speaking as a coffee nerd: you should tamp your espresso grounds flat before adding the sugar, then flatten out the sugar by hand - otherwise the uneven distribution of sugar and coffee will create channels that the water will flow too quickly through, giving you a weaker, poorly extracted cup (essentially the water will just be flowing past most of the coffee, not picking up much from it as the sugar is dissolved rapidly by the hot, pressurised water). Also, the sugar in the portafilter first, then coffee on top variation is a relatively common way of making a Café Cubano in an espresso machine (as opposed to in a Moka pot, which is very different).

[@EgriÁgoston]

Honestly! This was one of if not the most inspiring video of urs Louie! It was just real, enjoyable and and inspiring. Made me so hyped im a 🥈 member now!

[@samhands275]

The unbreakable positive mentality is remarkable, Louis! Credit to you

[@peterdyszel2382]

For the bicycle release: could you bring left hand back down to the sidepull before dropping the toe-hook? This would allow some pull to the left which would make the release easier. From here, you could either keep left foot on start hold and flag far to the right to rematch the horizontal, or do far right foot on good foot and back-flag to rematch instead (that foot may be further away than the video makes it look, so idk if that is a viable option).

[@graydeotto2820]

I think that Brazilian espresso I've heard is a Cuban thing from Cubans but could be from multiple places

[@jackberdine]

As an American I really appreciate the cowboy voice 😂

[@evinoshea5215]

This video was 10/10 - entertaining, funny, and high quality climbing

[@DavidWKimber]

Calling Erin McBeast!!

[@rilese3097]

And Toby Roberts!

[@TheGreatAscent]

perfect 5/7 intro. Loved it!

[@mystishio]

Awesome! Inspiring seeing the tryhard come out😄 And the intro was worth the potential send 😂❤

[@khyzz6027]

must admit it feels good to finally see you struggle a bit :D Reminds us you're human after all

[@souljaman4653]

It would be awesome to see some other very strong climbers try it!!! Collab!!

[@mudoglu]

Please more videos like that! I learned a lot!

[@willabee22]

the management are mulling over upping the bounty to £500

[@keelferm]

Definitely worthy

[@ayuminor]

Love that you kept in clip of the kicked in door coming back for revenge 🤣

[@nickaborr]

Does anyone know what kind of sneakers the person is wearing at 21:33? The white ones with black soles

[@riccardofantin6086]

0:15 It's not about the money, it's about sending a message

[@rowanindigo3255]

You don't have to apologise for not doing the climb. I'm pretty confident most of the people here just enjoy watching you climb whether you fail or succeed.

[@adamhiggins2160]

That intro is absolutely fire haha. Need more of those

[@patrickmuller3248]

Really cool watching you trying so hard! Would also be nice to get some one for a new video that might be able to do it.

[@nbIxtean]

Awesome staff. Teaches how to be resilient and passionate about the challenges and strives to get the m0ney.

[@sylvianbraibant7381]

The thing with last gos is that when it's good you'll want to try again, and when it's bad, you sure don't want to end on this...

[@Cheehoo-z7t]

After seeing Louis climbed that hard, I have to subscribe to the channel now!

[@ethanparis2977]

Well done Louis for the endeavours of your attempts 🧑‍🍳

[@stevesherwood1946]

I especially enjoyed the door hitting you back 😄

[@sethblanchard4829]

Really love the video. Are these custom wood holds or is it a certain brand? They look great (hard)

[@flubl44]

best intro for sure !

[@imagzz4942]

Actually seems like with a little more projecting (and energy hahah) Louis might actually be able to do it. Such a tough problem, but strong as hell Louis 💪💪

[@BeatRootius]

Love to see my local Center on the KZbin’s

[@n3v3r1s4]

this was a pleasure to watch =)

[@DAJ2000]

I'm from Texas USA and I approve your cowboy intro!

[@M1dnightCrashB]

So psyched!! That try-hard energy catches on. Theres still more time, lets gooo 😄

[@Jack_TRG]

Fluffy catto featuring in sponsored segment! Love tha floof

[@bullydungeon9631]

I love hard project videos, especially from somone who really wants it

[@datembo]

Crazy good video! Please do more of these types of try hard projecting videos. Inspiring stuff! 🦾

[@Duru-e8o]

We need more coffee time with Louis pls

[@wglao]

Last go counter is the best part of the video 😂

[@davidw789]

Your "last go" counter is kinda like my "first try" counter because all the little slips and mistakes pulling on don't count as the first try lmao

[@thom-novi]

Oh man, that would have been a goer next session.

[@jacobgaylord9277]

“Last go, best go-if it’s not your best go, it’s not your last go” 😄

[@jonnes__4657]

🗽 Louis can climb V13... highest respect! 🙏 It's a typical boulder for shorter, leight-weight people, like women. .

[@jaceypoo78]

As a Texan- I definitely approve of the cowboy intro. All the vids should have them.

[@rustammusin9077]

Hey Louis, nice vid! FYI the link to the in person coaching in description is broken

[@Gecko2601]

I just feel it "o.k. I'm done" 🤕 ... 🤔"Just one more go..." 🤣

[@wllms]

"To be continued..." Waiting for the next video sending it!

[@sekfnsdkfnfnwoiqdx]

louis: one more go, Me: 'checks the time' there is 24 minutes and 20 seconds left of the video.

[@AirborneLRRP]

Dude you need to sesh this for 3 seshes and send it. That would be the best video.

[@jasper7072]

oooh, Ink is a proper fluffball!!

[@UndeadFil]

We can all relate to the "last go" counter going way above the number of attempted boulders during the session

[@unvexis]

Would you say that being unable to hold a certain position generally indicates strength deficit for that position?

[@ianandriolo]

Super cool video

[@brunoloboo2]

Damn, didn’t realise Louis needed £100 that much! 😁 By the way, I’m Brazilian and have never heard of a Brazilian espresso! I haven’t lived there for 20 years, though…

[@BAdinkersGaming]

"Training works! Who knew?"

[@taylordeem2962]

Get Will or Toby on it!! Would love to see them give it an effort.

[@cgeorg]

Love this video

[@timgroothuis1217]

Awesome to see you trying hard! Also, keep the goofy intro's comming! 🤠

[@grayhamner]

Get back there and send. I want to see that video.

[@vasia_is]

If that's at a limit level (i.e. you have never managed to do such hard boulder before), would not a better strategy be less goes and more rest?

[@colemantrebor6574]

Idk when this was filmed but please come back for it. You could bring reinforcements if you want...

[@garnix5427]

how was the escape room? did you solve it?

[@Tj-oz3eg]

i would love to see some olympia climbers on this

[@peterherrick]

very good

[@kennethchang7147]

The sugar on coffee is a Cuban coffee !

[@SethPierceClimbing]

Cowboy intro 100% worth

[@oksaukko]

I’d like to see Toby on this one!

[@tomhutchinson2271]

I want to see Lemel or Jim Pope on it

[@anthonyyatesfotaj]

Last go counter at 14 must be a world record

[@Kraaketaer]

6:12 Now, Louis, I know you said you were a bit ill, but... not wanting to cut loose? Are you sure you are okay? Do you need help? Should we call someone?

[@brunosardine1]

2025 is your cowboy era, Louis

[@micahbush739]

It's not a Brazilian espresso it's a cubano espresso...but they are so good!! Nice climbing btw lol

[@nickleiss7412]

can we just get a full cinematic cowboy climbing vid

[@sethblanchard4829]

Also go back and try it again!!
