We challenged Nikken and he destroyed us.

Can nikken set a banger in 10min?

Nikken's recent sets you have been showing us look fantastic. It is super nice having him back in these episodes, especially seeing him setting. Thanks for bringing back a familiar face!

[@EricKarlsson]

Yeah agreed, he been on his a game :D

[@peetafile]

You should have a bag with different prompts (ex: toe hook, face the crowd start, hand jam, etc) and have him have to pull one before each build

[@Jagi125]

Give Nikken more time, but chose really awkward holds. Like jugs on a slab and target 7b+. Or slopy crimps on 60° wall 6c. I think he might have some cool creative ideas.

[@hetistijmen]

This would be so shit and so fun

[@boyinred34]

For the second one he would need a loooot of volumes for suuure

[@danielfry8097]

I dunno in what universe slopey crimps on 60 degrees could be 6c lol.

[@Jagi125]

@@danielfry8097 Same volume + palm rest? Good hooks? Maybe 60° is an overkill after all...

[@mopc3041]

If Nikken is blind to the holds and then has 10 minutes to set a route, then once Nikken begins setting you guys should turn around. Then when Nikkens 10 minutes are up, you guys turn around and have 10 minutes to send! Route setters vs climbers!!

[@NotOneToFly]

Best! Idea!

[@Alyssa-nm9kg]

Sorry but this looks like CEO Nikken slapped a problem up in under 10 mins and then jumped straight into an important business call in the corner while everyone suffered on it; this is the content I KNEW I NEEDED and as always, Erik has provided 😌 love you Erik, you’re doing great stuff

[@AntonFomenko]

Thats so cool to be so good at "creating a problem"! Not many people love this skill! 😅 Great video!

[@EricKarlsson]

Glad you enjoyed the video Anton! :)

[@KirstenRietveld]

Watching Nikken set this in 10 minutes and then watch him climb it almost effortlessly after seeing the rest struggle on it really emphasizes how insane he is. Looking so strong

[@vitalymaximov5714]

I think it's the most entertaining route setting video I've seen. Thanks for the uncut version! Nikken is a true professional, hope to see his routes on IFSC level soon.

[@sirstar45]

Can confirm, this boulder was an absolute banger! Can't believe it was only set in 10 minutes. It was so intricate and delicate to climb that I was sure it would need a lot of tweaking to get right. Great video!

[@samweiss3248]

Really loved this idea. Nikken is a beast at setting. I'd love to see him put out a full masterclass course on setting!

[@Bennici]

He's also freaking strong, has more technique in his pinky toe than me in my entire body, and he seems like a cool dude to just hang out with. Very nice to watch.

[@rockerboy95]

can't stop laughing at mickey's evil plan 😂😂

[@markbloyd9852]

I've been away from the climbing videos for a while, so this crew is all new to me, except Nikken, of course. Was so fun watching this group of guys work on this route.

[@Dread.Pirate.Roberts]

How it started 1:30 vs how it ended 19:46 ... Nikken is on another level man. If you really wanna challenge him you need to tie up one of his hands to one of his feet and give him a screw driver instead.... only then he might struggle. Hats off to you sir.

[@EricKarlsson]

Haha that transition was good, made me laugh :D

[@Enzo34]

Yesss, another banger with Nikken! Keep crushing Eric

[@KirstenRietveld]

20:31: "I'm pretty good at being weak" bro same ahahah

[@hNsGregrz]

this is awesome, would love for more route setting videos. A video where he elaborates more on how he thinks when setting a route would be awesome.

[@EricKarlsson]

Working on those plans atm :D

[@jtoxifications2407]

Built in 9m 43s, tournament-style, AND he sends it! Hope there's more! What's the next one?

[@mreiser01]

Once again: thanks Eric for the great content. You guys are an awesome crew and I really enjoy the fun you have while just being together! Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy guys!

[@EricKarlsson]

Thanks for the love homie

[@wumm7213]

"I have absolutely no idea what he's gonna do with this... but it's yellow and it's not my problem" killed me haha

[@kavali6320]

What did you expect? You gave a master of his craft something to play with -> he threw a banger on the wall in a blink of an eye. He's a true artist a n d topped first😉. Great crew✌

[@KirstenRietveld]

✨Psssaaaat✨ 16:30, someone watches climberism haha

[@smuir6104]

Nikken is amazing. I appreciate his talent, Wish I could visit Sweden just to check out his Gym

[@epincion]

Very aesthetic boulder like a piece of art on the wall and a great slab problem. Amazing for 10 mins. Looks like Micky and Teo and Fredrik need some slab time. You have to remember your feet at all times.

[@fireclub493]

this is a great concept! would lovvveee to see more setting content in this vein!

[@fireclub493]

also would be cool to see some bricolage-style setting (think yossi) from nikken too! setting with really unconventional/frankenstein shapes would be awesome to watch

[@stefanvehoff1715]

Very impressed by Mr Daniels! Both the setting and the climbing. 💪🏻

[@brandonbrown-outdoorlife9977]

I love this video! As a setter for a small local gym really cool to see a master at work! Video quality has just been getting better and better every time I watch. I have nothing but great things to say about this channel. I WANT THE 5 MINUTE 5 HOLD CHALLENGE!

[@EricKarlsson]

Love you dude

[@michelechernega1782]

Fun idea, and perfectly filmed. Loved seeing Nikken climb again too. Thanks Eric!!

[@codyheiner3636]

Nikken gets on the climb... *BOSS MUSIC plays*

[@RobbingHoodz]

I definitely want to see what Nikken has in mind for that 1 hold 1 minute challenge!

[@Wijkert]

What a great boulder for such a short time setting!

[@johannielsen463]

I thought I wouldn't enjoy this video at all but actually quite enjoyable (Setting vids not normally my favorite why say that but the fast format added something).

[@lucasmulvehill6300]

Dude Nikken has become a monster, he should do some pro comps

[@maxfern5701]

This actually looks like a pretty cool boulder for 10 minutes!

[@Austinjwv]

Can always count on Eric to bring good vibes with each video! Love it always bro!

[@i3dont3care3]

Yoo Fredrik is super funny man! Seems like a cool dude

[@Panda_trax]

Love Nikken!!! Great music taste Eric!!! Love your videos

[@siuseki]

18:52 I read "Teo found this teo beta", I'll just call all my toe hooks Teo hooks from now on. Super nice vid

[@alexanderboll8028]

I need the super-like option for this one! Amazing route, Nikken!

[@profpeth]

I would love to see the same volumes but make the red piece central to the puzzle, using the others to edge around it. I think that would be awesome. Also what sort of rating do you think this ended up?

[@chrisdugmore2462]

Sick video! Video idea: Same challenge but for eric/theo/mickey set a boulder in 10 mins, try it, then Nikken has only a few mins to "fix it"

[@Xeratas]

I love those guys, i don't even know why but this was a shitload of fun to watch it

[@jimfede4990]

How about that Flagship song, those guys are from my town in NC…love to hear them here and love the channel!!

[@LoveBystroem]

I live in Stockholm and have been climbing like about 2-3 months, absolutly love it obviously. I know this gym isn’t in Stockholm but I keep like a tiny ammount of hope up when I go that I’ll get to meet these guys even though I know it won’t happen

[@EricKarlsson]

Who knows, maybe 1 day it will ;D

[@tylervelasquez5639]

Im so impressed with your setting skill! I set for a 2 years and never got that quick or proficient with it when it came to higher grade problems. Well done!

[@Xskaface13X]

Every time Mickey fell off this boulder all I could see was a porpoise breaching out of the water. 🤣🤣🤣🐬🐬🐬

[@markchristiansen4827]

Maybe add an endurance element. Do a comp set of 4 different boulders in 40 minutes!

[@oliveneuendorf6182]

Grinning through the video. Thanks Eric!

[@ravenruppie96]

"It's all in the hips." "I don't have any hips." I am fucking slayed lmao

[@rockerboy95]

holy shit that was such a good route in just 10 mins!!!

[@Pownerto]

This is so sick, love the idea!

[@sarabearyt]

Yes more of these

[@freddymountain9920]

Big love! ❤️ See you guys soon!

[@n8n8n8]

would also love to see Nikken set a climb with the big red one as the starting hold mounted super low. like maybe you start sitting on it

[@kar0x]

that is really good flash setting!

[@BiskitBandit]

Duuuuude the one-shot was freaking cool!

[@bartuslongus]

"It's yellow. And it's not my problem." :D Nice one!

[@n8n8n8]

Nikken is a setting genius! this could be a new sport. speed setting. 4 setters all the get the same 10 holds and get 10 minutes to set them. you then have any number of climbers attempt the four climbs like in a competition and the scoring is based on how much separation you can create between the climbers just like in a competition. so if everyone sends your set or if no one sends your set, you get 0 points for the round. you ideally want a distribution of how many climbers can who top out, zone, or don't get past the 2nd move. something like that.

[@Thehammm_]

2hr challenge - 1 super long traverse set of ultimate doomage!

[@SpiritAnimalGO]

More Nikken setting videos!! I love it!!

[@zeus154345]

this was a nice idea for a video

[@skunkingdonuts3734]

We're gonna totally trick him with 1 minute 1 hold challenge! Nikken: "i could do that, the hold is right there" Well... Shit

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

Just started setting at my school's tiny gym. The fact that he could set something like that in ten minutes is insane to me.

[@obi-wankenobi4056]

This was so much fun to see! Would love more of this!

[@bnbuescher]

These videos make me want to travel to Sweden to try Nikken bangers in person!

[@hvanderwolk]

Please more of this🔥

[@Nick-B78]

Nikken is the coolest guy there is

[@TannerForrest]

I’m unstoppable💪🏼

[@Jackbrick101]

What a crusher man, takes me ten minutes before I put the first hold on the wall!

[@SkiSummer]

You can only put the red one at the top, if you put it anywhere else it becomes a safety hazard.

[@btravis1852]

Well nice fiberglass holds on slab is usually a banger anyways. But the amount of screws can take some time for sure

[@erraticbro]

what an absolute banger, I wish I could teleport there and try these problems

[@tdqh5734]

Loved the video, great idea! Also does anyone know the song starting at 17:00 ? Really hyped me up.

[@michelleovalle6369]

Nikken is so talented!! such a cool route

[@alexenders6839]

Super mega cool!! More videos like this please!

[@stephaniemclean2451]

Absolutely served such a challenging route 😂 love this

[@MiguelClimbs]

Commenting for the 1-minute challenge. Nikken is something else.

[@TheMattAMusic]

LOVE this concept :)

[@admobandy4821]

You guys are awesome.

[@MlleAudree]

Do more of there please! :)

[@stroob3734]

More vids with Nikken

[@oskarmusale9756]

10 minutes banger boulder every month?

[@mattheweaves4758]

Nikken is a beast!

[@SnowmansApartment]

wow, i would love to climb a 10 minute boulder by nikken! He is such an artist! =D

[@tomischimpf2646]

I loved this video! Could you make a video o a mini section in a video showing Nikken's setup/gear for routsetting? I'm starting to set some boulders in my gym and it takes a lot of time to set one jajaja! I really like how fast and smooth he sets

[@kevinlyon9501]

Yup Nikken can set bangers in under 10 minutes, then almost flashes it. 👌

[@thomasbigt]

One of my favorite recent videos. Nikken set an awesome looking boulder. What is the name of the song that is playing when Nikken tops the boulder?

[@elliott9628]

would also like to know this...

[@EricKarlsson]

Write to me in 4 days and remind me :D I will be back home then and can maybe fins the song:)

[@thomasbigt]

@@EricKarlsson Hi Eric. Well its been 8 days. Have you been able to find the song? :)

[@EricKarlsson]

@@thomasbigt in this video or previous? I listed all the songs in this one, but forgotten about previous

[@EricKarlsson]

@@thomasbigt oh this is the older video, I'll try add the song tomorrow :)

[@brekkoh]

so correct me if I'm wrong, but setting a hold consists of just straight up placing it anywhere and drilling a screw into the wall? i always assumed they tried to line it up with existing holes, wouldn't this ruin the wall eventually?

[@Gr33nG14n7]

Nikken, What screws and bits are you using? There's no initial wobble when you get started at all.

[@rockerboy95]

loved this episode!!

[@kevinh.3336]

Holy sh*t, what a banger of a video!

[@Strummify]

I was also thinking, nikken beta with that toe hook will likely not work for taller climbers since their hips will be far from the wall

[@chaosengine4597]

sick problem set up in a sick speed :O

[@shouldbsleeping]

more bangers!!

[@gauseb]

We must protect Nikken at all costs!!

[@liquidsofa]

You should get someone who is not into climbing to place the holds, then see if it's climbable.

[@bjbboy71697]

This was sick!

[@alwaysanthony]

Moonboaaard episode!

[@psicologiageneraleconalleg369]

It took me lot of effort to click on this video. I wasn't convinced by the thumbnail nor the title. Clicked out of boredom. Didn't expect a routsetting challenge! That is 1000 times better than a normal bouldering challenge! Do more and specify when it involves routesetting!

[@Strummify]

holy shit Nikken is an absolute monster!

[@TheUnknownFactor]

Super impressive to do this in 10 minutes
