Boulder, Colorado is the current epicenter of the climbing world in the United States. Over the past few decades, elite and amateur climbers alike have flocked to this mountainside city in large numbers to train, compete, and play in the seemingly unlimited venues that the area has to offer. As climbing families settle in "The Bubble" of Boulder, the next generation of climbers is starting to emerge; a generation that is set to raise the bar like no one before them has. Team ABC is at the centre of this movement, as Robin Raboutou and her team of coaches passes on their competition and training knowledge in their 'kids only' gym. We join Team ABC in the weeks ahead of ABS Nationals as three of their strongest young athletes, Shawn Raboutou, Megan Mascarenas and Brooke Raboutou prepare to compete on the national stage.

When i look at brookes mom i feel like i would be yelled at a lot

Funny story, my friend actually got yelled at by Brooke's mom at Rope Nationals like 2-3 years ago.

[@gamree_alt_]

It's so cool to me that Brooke Raboutou was considered to be the next big up-and-coming pro climber, and is climbing in the IFSC world cup only two years later. Definitely interesting to see how she progressed so quickly, and that "Team ABC" guessed right about her being a professional climber.

[@kylehutchings1479]

I'll always be rooting for talent like Ashima and Kai over kids like this who get a head start and their parents put them on a wall when they're 2

[@charlieburton9172]

[@mujtabaalam5907]

Ashima was on a wall when she was 6...

[@mujtabaalam5907]

@@azulaeatingmochime2353 She had an extremely kinesthetically talented father, she met Yukihiko Ikumori from the day she started at 6 (although I'll bet you never learned about that), and was connected with Obe Carrion at 7.

I can't make up my mind whether I believe her... That she thinks climbing is all about fun and never pushing her kids into something... Or whether she really wanted her kids to be as successful as herself and in no case letting her kids chose another way in life 🤔😕

[@Carmen-mp5cp]

I wish they had included Natalia Grossman or Margo Hayes in this. They're incredible climbers and are both part of team abc.

[@isabellaavocado4610]

[@MrCmon113]

Same. : | I'd prefer climbing over water.

[@Risris666]

I have noticed that when people say "statisfying video" they are refering to slime videos and all that stuff but rock climbing videos are the most statisfying to me. I don't even know why I love it so much.

[@wally9051]

No

[@jderpz23]

I climb for fun and to reach objectives

[@joshbrown6290]

I read a lot of comments about people starting out and wanting to get better. Something I was taught that helped me was to get on the wall and just traverse (climb sideways) until I fell off. Really helped with strength and movement. Hope this helps someone else:)

[@PaddyNinja]

Inspiring to the last! Congratulations on all your hard work.😁👍

[@cougar66]

Great climber! When I see this video I remember me when I was young That was a great time for me

[@Kessik8]

Impressive, and inspring. We'll see these kids pushing the limits in the future. I wonder how many of them are doing three years after this footage was taken.

[@coolbrotherf127]

I just got into rock climbing after a gym was finally built near my house at 21. Around here soccer, baseball, football, and basketball are the main draws for kids, so very few of them got into climbing early when I was growing up. There were no indoor gyms to train for years at so anyone who started as a kid needed parents who climbed outdoor stuff and too then along.

[@chiz161190]

These kids indeed changed the world of climbing!

[@kropotkln]

In the video Meagan Martin said "Shawn Raboutou [...] I think he could totally be the next Daniel Woods" and that some of them could maybe "put up V17 one day" Isn't it wild how things turn out?

[@brie.t]

Anyone still watching dis in 2018????😅😂

I live in Massachusetts, and there is only one team member in my gym thats made it to nationals. He trained way too hard and split his knuckle. This stuff can be really bad for you if you take it seriously. (Cost the family a fortune to fix, and he couldn't climb at full strength for over a year.)

[@zackc4519]

Eh or you just get used to it over time, I've been doing a work out of 5 sets of 10 pull ups, 3 sets of 40 push ups, 20 minute ab workout (switching different exercises) and other various finger strengthening workouts and I've been doing this for like 6 months (gradually I have increased the amount of stuff I did over time of course) I have gone for climbing like v5 at highest to like v9 now, plus I go climbing like 5 days a week for Atleast 2 hours each day

Holy shit. Watching this type of video really puts stuff in perspective and is quite humbling. I'm 16, and have been climbing for about 4 years and am just starting to break into v10s and 5.13s. This kid is my age, and climbs v14, a grade i've never even thought about being able to climb, ever. I also feel like i may be starting to plateau a bit. I'm pretty short at 5ft 4'. so have been doing more wide grip training and maxing out distance on campus rungs, but i still don't feel as if im progressing much, not nearly as much as i used to, any advice?

And then there's me who have to compete against these kids. ABC is widely known as not only the strongest team in boulder but the entirety of Colorado if not the USA. Having climbed in their gym I can say that a V5 there is closer to a V7 at most gyms. Every single one of them crushes so hard.
