Toby Roberts fighting hard at the Innsbruck Boulder & Lead World Cups, 2023, Ep 7

After the success of taking his first IFSC Boulder World Cup Gold medal at Brixen, how will Toby handle back to back Boulder & Lead World Cups?
What's it like facing 2 World Cups in 4 days against the worlds best climbers?

[@chrism_photography]

Great video Toby, after the previous highs it was great to see you handling not making finals at Insbruck really well and looking at the positives, sign of a true champ!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks, finals is always a privilege. I’ll be trying to get back there 😂

[@54Jackkelly54]

What a wholesome lad this Toby!

[@thomassummers249]

Top level content from a top level athlete. You’re inspiring mate keep it up!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks, I'll be trying my hardest :)

[@stephenbyrne7547]

As ever, super insightful champ.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you 😆

[@DeDe-ly4bd]

I've really came to like your videos, they're extremely interesting. Keep it up, and good luck in your upcoming competitions

[@TobyClimbing]

Hey... appreciate that. Happy you find them interesting. Will be trying my hardest :)

[@kendallbroton]

TOBYYY UR A BOSS!! This videos are always a highlight of the week, please keep them up during the rest/training periods xD

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks, definitely will be. Comps are the highlights - most of my time is spent training so hopefully won’t be short of content 😂

[@brendanacord]

Really interesting how you planned the tough and compressed boulder comp schedule for maximizing your experience and learning, love that mindset. Innsbruck schedule was insane, great to see you make it through and get some good experience. Awesome watching these videos and really glad you can put the time in to share with us all, thanks and best of luck!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks. It’s definitely been full on - but I’ve really enjoyed the challenge. Feeling refreshed now after Innsbruck and looking forward to the run in to World Championships 😊

[@ScratchRick]

Your edits are always amazing! Do you do them yourself? P.S. As always we are rooting for you!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks, it’s a team effort 😊

[@benelphick22]

Definitely my favourite athlete in the climbing scene atm! Found my self skipping some of the bouldering semi finals and only watching you climb. Keep it up mate, giving you my support for the lead season all the way from australia!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you. Really psyched for the lead season. I hope it’s half as good as bouldering 😊

[@pixAmant]

Such a great Video series you did here, thanks to you, your camerasupport and other supportes with that channel. I really appreciate to get some behind the scenes and insides. Seeing the qualiroutes is amazing too since they are not shown in the stream or somewhere. I am really impressed by you powerful climbing style i guess on the powerside you are already far ahead. Good luck and fun to learn the movements you struggeld with.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. So many movements to work on 😅

[@FlashpumpClimbing]

Amazing boulder season, well done!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks, really psyched for lead now

[@mAc6549-z7v]

Brilliant analysis and videos. Keep up the great work, Toby!

[@Cloudensation]

Yay! Love these videos Toby! Have a solid time training and looking forward to cheering you on in the future.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks 😊

[@jamesholt9206]

You’ve absolutely nailed it matey!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks James. Really glad you're enjoying the videos

[@jameswuu4241]

Keep at it Toby! You've got the right mindset, you'll be back on the top step again soon!

[@TobyClimbing]

I hope so 😂

[@koulmemaybe]

you're insanely skilled dude

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you!

[@khaibernate]

I remember running into a youtube short where you killed this pockets 360 boulder route. I was thinking "this guy is going win gold someday". And at brixton you DID! Such an epic ending at worlds. Keep up the strong work man. Super inspiring.

[@justinlai5408]

Amazing first bouldering season! Keep up the hard work! Cheers from the US

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks. Really loved the World Cup in SLC. Hopefully I’ll be back in the US to train 👍

[@shamyesh]

Loving the content, in a city with no climbing at the moment so living vicariously through your vids ;)

[@TobyClimbing]

A city with no climbing 😱😅

[@נבואלון-ו6י]

An true inspiration, keep it up

[@andrearamirezreyes3055]

Ohh amazing video. 🎉. I feel bad for you at the end😢 i hope you can have some rest. A big hug for you. Cheers from México 🎉

[@-steve.]

Great video mate, congrats on the boulder season!

[@krzxykrzxy]

Whats up Toby I’m a huge fan! Your insane at climbing! As an 11 year old V7 climber I hope to be as good as you when I’m older!

[@TobyClimbing]

Hey… thanks. V7 at 11 is insane too. Just keep enjoying it and having fun 👊

[@username-lj6tl]

V7 at 11 wow, that is really impressive

[@krzxykrzxy]

This totally made my day! :D

[@TobyClimbing]

@@krzxykrzxy psyched to hear that 👊

[@denlolify]

amazing videos, love to see you climb, wouldnt have if it wasnt for this series!

[@TobyClimbing]

Great to hear 👊

[@plowestv]

This is amazing! I have been following your climbing for a few months and wow! Amazing results. More important maybe is that you seem to have the mental game focussed in your radar and in a sport like this, maybe that's the hardest part? Climb for tomorrow, not for today and good luck Toby :-)

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you. The mental side of things is hugely important and I’ve definitely worked on it. You’re as strong as you’re weakest attribute because the setters will find it 😂

[@ZapRowsdower-tq2qg]

you're training hard and it's paying off. super excited to see how you do in the championships! could you do a video on your training routine?

[@TobyClimbing]

I’ll definitely be doing some training videos in the future. I train a lot harder in the winter - in the summer it’s a lot of maintenance and the comps provide a lot of the training 👍

[@QuinnValetine]

What type of climbing or training do you think has helped you the most at getting good at physical boulders

[@TobyClimbing]

A lot of different climbing\training - but mainly staying positive and trying hard when sessions aren’t going so well 😂

[@LorenzZoulek]

Crazy nice videos

[@TobyClimbing]

Glad you like them 👊

[@jackman00110101]

I love how he pulls up on an electric city scooter

[@alexenders6839]

As you have climbed quite a bit in the KI and in B-Pump, how do you think the colour-grading systems compare in the both gyms? I climb regularly in the KI and think that the black boulders often are crazy hard - you made them look easy. So which tape-colour would the black boulders in the KI have at B-Pump?

[@TobyClimbing]

In BPump the grades are Black > Light Green > Brown I’d say KI black circuit is mostly similar to BPump brown circuit and the harder ones would be light green equivalents. Black tape boulders in Japan are harder than any boulders I’ve been on in KI or in Europe. They would be single boulders to project over multiple sessions and some don’t get sent (i.e. they feel a lot harder than the light greens). Not everything is directly comparable though - some of the pinks in KI are harder than some of the KI blacks. But BPump black tapes are the hardest indoor boulders in the world as far as I’m aware!

[@alexenders6839]

@@TobyClimbing Thank you so much for the answer! Gives a lot of perspective! Hope to climb in Japan myself one day :D All the best to you for the upcoming lead comps - keep crushing! 💪🤙

[@TobyClimbing]

@@alexenders6839 I’d definitely recommend Japan\BPump for a visit if it works for you

[@letsgo759]

nice!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks!

YES Elizabeth Arden 8hr cream!

If you know you know 😉

10:18 Darth Toby using the force to slay JongWonChon. RIP

[@hotbeefo]

15 minutes in the river is vicious 😂 You need a portable ice maker or something. Just realised i could've been doing this when i was competing.

[@TobyClimbing]

Vicious is an accurate description 😂

[@teostrong6973]

Could you not say if he topped a boulder or how he did in a route before we can see it, I want to surprised and keeps the intrigue up

[@TobyClimbing]

These videos are always quite a few days after the comps - most people know the results. Probably can’t avoid spoilers as we’re making it up as we go along 😂

[@MegaPatriot16]

With small injuries and cracked skin, creaming with coconut oil would be an alternative

[@thess0414]

At 14:48 ...is stepping on that thing allowed ?

[@TobyClimbing]

Yes - it’s a bolt cover\hold. It has almost no texture. It’s there so climbers don’t get disqualified for using a bolt. It is hard to stand on though so you get little help from it… but still going to try 😂

[@aidanpier3213]

lolol “u know it’s gotta be done”

[@TobyClimbing]

I feel you should get extra points 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TheXeeman]

17:54 what are those two geometric tags on your upper back here?

[@TobyClimbing]

They are Phiten Titanium patches I got in Japan. Don’t know if they work but they don’t harm 😊

[@ibanaguergaray5839]

Stepped on a bolt at 14:50?

[@TobyClimbing]

Bolt cover 😊

[@ibanaguergaray5839]

Is that allowed?

[@ibanaguergaray5839]

Obviously it is since you didn't get DQ'd

[@TobyClimbing]

Yea, bolt covers are allowed (they’re legitimate holds) so people don’t get disqualified

[@ar_d2__]

funny fact I use the same creme to repair my skin lol

[@Fred-oz3tw]

next time full ice bath! get the full recovery :)

[@TobyClimbing]

That mountain water was freezing 🥶 😂

[@how2beast937]

no more scooter plz , you deserve a bike !!

[@TobyClimbing]

Love those scooters. Best way to get around Innsbruck 😂
