On the eve of the World Cup season beginning where all roads will lead to the Olympics in Paris, 12 of the worlds strongest climbers gathered in... Hull.
Rockcity and Serious Climbing Distribution kindly provided a training camp that included some of the Worlds best selection of climbings holds that were expertly set by B-Pump owner Katsu and renowned setter Tsukuru.

Super nice to see men and women on the same boulders for once, great climbing from everybody involved

[@taraexell6875]

Exactly what I thought too. Great video.

[@farfouine87]

I'm curious to know how Janja would have performed in this training comp !

[@Nyitemare]

Couldnt agree more!

[@TobyClimbing]

It was a great session 🤩

[@fanniszakal210]

me too, but it's a pity they only had 2 women with 10 men...

[@BAdinkersGaming]

The true skill ceiling of climbing may never be unlocked. Watching some of the best in the world get sat by a hard route is a good reminder of the potential that is still out there! Love it Toby!

[@TobyClimbing]

Climbing can be very humbling 🤣 thank you!

[@thingswelike]

What a selection of climbers... In hull!

[@TobyClimbing]

Crazy!

[@darcangelomauro]

This has got to be the best climbing channel right now. Hard climbing, dry commentary, no bullshit, love it

[@rdtarcade7644]

if you like to watch indoor training i guess🤣

[@darcangelomauro]

@@rdtarcade7644 true, for outdoor there's mellow

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you so much, glad you’re enjoying!

[@liangfamily]

Dam, who's editing this video, its amazing... Great commentary too!

[@precursor4263]

Yeah except the sound guy :/ It's clipping like crazy (!)

[@Lumi_nance]

​@@precursor4263whats that?

[@kwankliu]

I thought his dad edited the vids

[@jaredallen7471]

Came here to say the same

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you 😆

[@driesvanoosten4417]

Wow, seeing your Brixen top again. What a legendary moment that was. Truly inspiring!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you, my heart is still racing!!

[@b0604]

Maybe my favourite IFSC moment ever

[@OderiConditioning]

Toby this is so good, such a privilege to peek behind the scenes of a training session with this crew! Would have loved to hear some of the original audio as well to hear more of the vibes and banter, but this is ace as it is!

[@colemantrebor6574]

I would watch a 4 hour video of the whole session no problem.

[@gretabird7305]

I would guess that's coming in the part 2. Hopefully anyway. I loved the energy in this, got me really excited for my session tomorrow, but I would also love to see/hear the interactions

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks a lot 🙏🏼🔥

[@climbing_fan_12]

So impressed by Max M and Erin, damn

[@TobyClimbing]

Yes very impressive 🤩

[@marcosparra110]

Best climbing video on YT rn

[@TobyClimbing]

Wow thank youu :D

[@Fred-oz3tw]

without question. super high quality on content and presentation.

[@ewanpakula2810]

Sorato is such a joy to watch climb!

[@skifast_takechances]

100%. his style is second to none

[@TobyClimbing]

🔥🔥

[@AStrangeHill]

I was here on this day.. imagine the bewilderment you might feel walking into one of your local gym's and as you put your bags down, you look around and see some of the worlds top pro's sessioning boulders and bloc's... 🤯🤯 Epic Great vid Toby! Really enjoyed this one, some reallly nice climbing on display there & that gold moment.... 😮🔥🤘🏼😁

[@TobyClimbing]

The average gym grade definitely bumped up that day 🤣 thank you for watching!!

[@AStrangeHill]

Definitely some hard climbing in there... makes sense, I did get at least four of them sent 😂 And definitely a pleasure seeing such a session go down!

[@jim0rummy]

this should be a TV show. Such a great spectator format -

[@TobyClimbing]

👀👀

[@stdm7964]

I love this format! Really cool to see a room full of such different climbers in this way

[@TobyClimbing]

Yes! It’s so good to train with a lot of different people. Everyone excels at different aspects and it’s great to learn from each other

[@sean6387]

Fantastic editing. Katsu is a legend. A few years back watching him testing the setting at Ogikubo was mind-blowing. His knowledge of movement possibilities is second to none.

[@TobyClimbing]

For sure, the guy is a legend 🤣

[@user-go1vx6tl8n]

toby's commentary makes these feel like video diaries. a nice change of pace compared to the typical vlogging style and super charming

[@morgydee]

Toby I hope you understand just how amazing this channel is for watching high level climbing

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you so much:)

[@ndmtzn]

action-packed! thanks toby for sharing this all-stars mini-event. btw, the back-to-back shots of the same moves were superbly edited. as mentioned by others, in general awesome editing throughout.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you!!

[@filodambrosio1309]

This must be one of the best climbing videos on KZbin, keep up the great work Toby!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you!!

[@HajongLee]

This video was sick. All your videos on this channel have been amazing. The edit but also the commentary and your insight into everything! I just love your enthusiasm and transparency. Please please, never change.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you so much :D

[@rasmusskjdt3886]

I don't feel like I've seen much of Max before, but he seems to be on fire lately🔥🔥

[@TobyClimbing]

He’s a legend 👀🔥

[@DasTeehaus]

Probably the best indoor bouldering video I've seen!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks a lot, and thanks for watching!

[@Loveyogaanatomy]

Great video, really fun and exciting editing.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks so much!

[@embergem]

The quality of this video is so satisfyingly good! Impressive filming, and wow the editing, and great commentary. So enjoyable to watch!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you :D

[@draganandrei5356]

That Brixen top watching it live was incredible! Nobody believe it could be done, being such a powerful boulder, and with a lot of failed attempts before. Amazing how Toby manage to cling on to it with every last bit of strenght.

[@lifes_purfect_adventurezil4001]

I'm so lucky to have rockcity as my local gym been in the comp room this morning... man there tough ....

[@gkoleva]

The coolest climbing vid i've seen in a long time, keep them coming Toby, big THANK YOU

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks for watching!!

[@jjimena263]

Stacked crew. Good vibes. Great editing and commentary as always, it seems you've found the sweet spot between professional and casual.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you!

[@janhavel8208]

Incredible to see all those climbers together like that. Pretty interesting format, but it worked well! Thank you for this! And Max did incredible progress over the winter.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks for watching 👀

[@highonakaya7644]

cant wait for the day 2 video! hope youve been having as much fun making these as ive had watching them, being injured right now your videos have been a massive help getting through it!

[@epincion]

Brilliant stuff! So impressed with the list of climbers present and the format.

[@NicklasLinnemann]

Wow amazing video! Looking forward to day 2

[@TobyClimbing]

Stay tuned 👀

[@benedekfodor269]

This is the most glorious climbing video I have seen in a while.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you!

[@Xenoxygene]

This video was absolutely incredible, thank you so much for uploading this, it's an absolute delight to watch some of our favorite climbers have an amazing time together while also crushing hard boulder problems! Keep it up, Toby!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it:)

[@NinjaViking1337]

Bro what an absolute banger of an editing job, idk who the legend is, but damn. I wish more people would put this much love in editing.

[@DomJC1992]

My fav video so far! Love the throwback to you and Megos, and to your gold! Also love to see Max doing so well

[@MrWhatev4r]

I remember watching the livestream of the finals of 2023 brixen. That finals was one of the most stacked finals (everyone I would consider top 10 or even top 6 lol) and for you to take the win with only seconds to spare was incredible.

[@TobyClimbing]

It was an incredible moment, my heart is still beating hard 😅

[@MrWhatev4r]

@@TobyClimbing I consider you one of the top comp climber now but back then I hadn't heard of you until your podium placement at slc so I consider it as one of the best underdog/coming of age story in comp climbing haha.

[@kavali6320]

This video was over far too quickly. Very interesting format, edit and commentary captivating. Great and for sure motivating training crew. Looking forward to part two.

[@TobyClimbing]

Stay tuned 👀

[@danielredgate]

What an epic video. I’ve watched hundreds of climbing videos on YT and this has to be the best ever. Amazing selection of climbers, excellent editing, amazing routes, excellent vibe, great music editing, interesting holds….

Soooo psyched to see another great video come out! The comp format really kept me on edge and the cinematography and editing wow.. Love seeing the intricacies of comp climbing and thank you for showcasing how incredibly hard it is not just to train to be strong physically but also to bring out the best of your training to perform in a comp in front of soo many people (world class climbers at that lol)!!

Such a cool video! I love watching these of course but I also find that there's lots to learn from how you (and other pro climbers) train that I can use in my own training. Love the idea of the 'one-minute comp'. Will see how I can use that too. Keep making these videos. They're amazing! Looking forward to seeing you in the Olympics.🥇
