We created the Best/Worst boulder In the World.

[@kvasko2]

Tor's child arriving while he is sending a boulder with so many kneebars while he screams and thunder crashes, that seems the most appropriate conditions for his child's birth.

[@klimmersimon]

I've never seen anything like this boulder. Emil did a great job on setting so many moves with a forced kneebar. Love it!

[@TheXeeman]

i like the addition of the dancing skeletons

[@Pownerto]

#teamBlackBoulder the orange one would break my back and knee joints Also I love the text overlays for everyone, amazing editing Eric!

[@felix3821]

This boulder is legit a classic ans yes i do want it on a teeshirt, thank you.

[@LongBoy.0]

This is undoubtedly an all-time classic episode!!

[@jordis887]

i lost it at "i'm aiming for 8 or 9 knee-bars" XD i legit had to pause to laugh

[@iwonadacka2015]

Didn't watch the video yet but that is the best thumbnail I have ever seen :D

[@DuHdemasta]

The new introduction boxes are amazing, also the music selection was on point 👌🏼 Obviously the kneebar boulder is way better than that orange monstrosity of a boulder! As always, I loved the vid Eric!

[@mattiacellottoaudiolibraries]

This video has so much positive energy my laptop is charging without being plugged.

[@nolanrobertson9479]

I want to see Emil try the kneebar boulder with no kneebars!

[@klasnikof]

thats a great idea!

[@nikitabershadsky1644]

I think he said in the video that it wasn’t possible without it

[@nolanrobertson9479]

@@nikitabershadsky1644 dude can boulder v14/15, im sure he can figure something out if he put effort in!

[@BiskitBandit]

I just want to take a sec and appreciate how clean those holds were at the start. Just so satisfying.

[@philippvollmer9990]

This actually looks really fun, would love to try this :) Also Thor looks like he is at the absolute peak of happiness when chalking up mid boulder :D

[@alexbarnard1372]

This whole episode gave me a whole lot of happiness!! I’m with Thor here and I think the knee bar delux is a classic in the making!! Loved this video!!

[@noahjeffery5670]

So am I disgusting for liking both types of boulders

[@wh0ei]

Haha, I think both of them look pretty disgusting, so... Yes. 😅

[@TheRockismysoul]

This one really put a smile on my face, such great energy throughout the video! Thanks alot for the content Eric, really helps through these trying times! 💪

[@felix3821]

That tumbnail my god *_* perfection.

[@InsertNicknamePlease]

Agreed , that is the absolute best thumbnail of all time

[@Destroyer4Evar]

Please get the Picture of Thor on some Merch! Oh my god that would be awesome!!!

[@lngun]

At this rate, Emil is going to create a boulder that uses only feet to climb.

[@davidzweistein]

really good use of music and video/framing/cuts etc to further the story, ie concentrated on the story and all these other things help the story without being too much in the foreground

[@maikburbach1348]

This T-Shirt would be awesome 😂

[@michelechernega1782]

First: This was hysterical. You guys are the best. Next we see Thor, he will be a dad? Second: Kudos to Emil for setting a route that did exactly what he hoped in every way. It’s so impressive to have that vision & ability. And it was a nice thing to do for a friend too. Thanks Eric for making it all happen for us!

[@pdells9269]

That T-shirt would be an instant classic. I would buy it!

[@alanbarlow5136]

Awesome video, boulder and great energy, very well put together too, kudos.

[@epincion]

Eric- the quality of picture with that new camera is really good. Excellent depth of focus. This was a fun video. Good light-hearted banter made me forget about all the problems of life for a whole. Nice.

[@michaeltaborelli1659]

An episode with Thor is always worth it, and congratulations to him!

[@ardenscott3910]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the orange boulder so much it’s one of my favorite I’ve ever seen

[@LiamRappaport]

I would love to do both boulders, but I would definitely try the kneebar one first. Looks sick.

[@ericconnor3728]

i want an all knee-bar boulder in my gym too!! I prefer this one over the orange one.

[@ZeNtAuRuSsS]

The introduction boxes and comments underneath were perfect. Loved the vid! Fun kneebar boulder is obvs the 5-star boulder.. No competition. Aaaaand I want those pics printed on a T-Shirt please :D No kidding!

[@gregebbert2153]

"It was the best of times, on the worst of climbs," :) why is it that climbers so love heinous horrible boulders? It's a sickness. (Love it)

[@DougBeardsley]

I very rarely comment on any KZbin videos, but I really liked both of these problems! Super cool out-of-the-box setting!!!

[@duck075]

Black Boulder just cause it made Thor so happy! And who wouldn't want that t shirt?! Or two with the other still! Great video and great editing, you keep stepping your game up. Thanks for sharing this, it got me off my butt and a workout in.

[@TheBonboni11]

Can we get a video on Thor's strength training routine? Need to bulk up over winter hahaha Also best boulder ever

[@aluminumbeluga]

hes freakin shredded!

[@YnseSchaap]

I think it involves pillaging 😁

[@davidwilson12590]

All the love from Texas, Eric! Been missing you man, hope you're doing well.

[@arianaustria1408]

AHHHHH new video to psych me up before I head to the climbing gym today!!! Thanks dudes!!!!!!!

[@aykempf]

such a good energy all along the video i had a great time watching it !

[@cameronnewby6510]

I don't know if it's the new lense, the music or the camera work. But this video feels very intimate and very beautifully shot for what is simply a day with friends at the wall. Great work Eric as ever !

[@SovereignsGreed]

Really hard to decide, But if I have to pick one then probably the knee bar boulder (mostly because it looks atleast somewhat doable for me). But both Boulders seem to be pretty standout in quality for the Movement Type they are designed to enforce.

[@gordon_freeman8358]

SUCH a nice Vid. I really love it. Nice editing and Thor just crushes it. Also an awesome boulder Eric set there. I would take the black over the orange one every time :)

[@lucasandersen4566]

the transition in to the 4 kneebar is awsome

[@paxtonreynolds608]

I haven’t watched one of your videos in months! I remember you talking about how you wanted to improve your video quality, editing... And this is amazing! Love the video

[@the0neskater]

Both sick but that black is a master piece, amazing setting from Emil!

[@dubzxi2979]

Indeed a perfect boulder. Now to collect the last infinity stone we need a crack route as well.

[@GrinchSMB]

love the combo and the vibe of this video! great content!

[@ArtanisKizrath]

I love the finish on the black one. I've never seen a knee bar finish like that.

[@pij3333]

ABSOLUTE CLASSIC

[@zaineridding3429]

It's a sign, I'm watching Thor for the first time, and it's storming outside irl with thunder and lightening.... Sick climb though, dirty but looks like a lot of fun, and that's what it's all about.

[@digiblu5]

I'm a mixture of happy and sad. Super happy to see Thor having a good time, sad that I want to climb now but can't. I will train then in the mountains.

[@evaeriksson6731]

Definitely both boulders, I couldn‘t choose. But I totally agree with Emil on a bat-hang-start, those are awesome.

[@horsen_around]

Out of the introduced boulders, the most beautiful and satisfying to climb and to watch was without a question Cordelia's one!

[@chaozzah]

The thing with knee bars is that it allows you to set extremely hard moves since there are so many great resting opportunities in between. Adam Ondra's "Silence" being a perfect example outdoors of course, likely impossible without the rests they give you. I prefer this one, mainly because the moves look easier to read and execute :D

[@deez_gainz]

By far this one is five star and classic, the orange one -1 star.

[@fireclub493]

this has to be a world record for the # of kneebars on a boulder! so sick! great job eric :)

[@lyntonstephens7552]

"Zero Star Boulders." That should be a KZbin channel in its own right.

[@alexanderkitchens4496]

I would buy a t-shirt with that second picture of Thor and a poster

[@kavali6320]

THAT THUMBNAIL 🤣! EPIC! That boulder is the perfect present Emil could give to Tor while he's waiting for his baby being born! For sure a distracting challenge! Kneebars all over the place! 16:15 How Tor's gonna feel being a dad after the first week without a proper night's sleep ;)

[@quinnthompson]

Thanks for this vid. Solid session, really enjoyed it!

[@gorillahands927]

Definitely the black one. Planing to go to Solna to just try that one 😂

[@snajperWkrzaku]

Kneebar boulder rocks!!! Really good setting!

[@jhonore24]

Best episode ever hands down on the channel!

[@inferiorquality]

Both boulders look like a lot of fun in their own way. Would be interesting to see Emil climb the black one with as few kneebars as possible :D

[@JesseUnderscoreMartin]

Now gotta get Adam Ondra on this bad boi! I'm sure he'd flash it, but he's the kneebar king ;) Fun to watch Tor looking like a kid in a candy shop. And Emil was smiling at Tor's enjoyment!

[@bryanbryan6108]

Cordeeeeelia, you’re breaking my heart. You’re shaking my confidence baaaby. Oh cordeeeeeelia, I’m down on my knees. I’m begging you please to come home...

[@yishaiwhite9730]

Damn, his send took almost two minutes - an absolutely insane amount of time to be on a boulder

[@Batistick13]

Sure but loads of knee bars and no hands rests. He could have taken 2 minutes alone in that one knee bar just to rest the forearms if he needed without consequence.

[@georg3933]

Hilarious video! I really want to see torjo on Ali Hulk full extension sit start or whatever the name of the route is. Knee bars for days!

[@natureinthecitymusic]

Thor climbs it the first time like he's unpacking Christmas presents.

[@Akegata42]

Definitely this one. It was interesting to see people try to climb it today. Looks like most people don't assume a problem will be only knee bars. :P

[@EeDog2]

15:44 fist bump lines up with music perfectly

[@samuelboundy5368]

Love the Bach cello intro ..approved by a climbing cellist

[@DamnDstryr]

Oh my God, that t-shirt would be great! DO IT!

[@halnataku]

I don't know why but watching Tor climb this was like ASMR to my eyes

[@samuellopca]

I don't know if it is the worst or the best, but definitely Adam Ondra likes this boulder haha

[@horsen_around]

I have a feeling that Thor will definitely give a good cry of happiness the day his baby is born :)

[@svenningen]

Tor's fucking adorable. This is proper content right here!

[@gigphoong9059]

Brand new holds. You spoil that Thor of yours.

[@tonyluvbalony6837]

Look Timmy, this is how friggin shredded papa was when you were born

[@aturner2430]

Thor, you've got to come climb at Rifle Mountain Park in CO... knee bar heaven

[@chrisfischer5380]

Great music choices

[@BrandonJamez]

And yes a shirt with that image I would definitely buy.

[@abdelcassoul]

Me, not capable of sticking the easiest kneebar ... Always thought that it is a sick move, but I'd always rather skip the kneebar and power through But props to Emil, setting of boulder with this many kneebars is insane

[@raiemie7365]

black one has cool moves, is technical (to me), fingery and the kneebars are actually not avoidable, thats great setting Emil orange is unconventional af and then kinda outdoor like ? black looks way cooler must feel better when achieved

[@windteller]

These are nice pictures!

[@tomdedaele1691]

Man i would love to climb that kneebar boulder!! It looks super awesome. Btw it’s definitely the better boulder of the 2 🙌👌

[@Jagknorr]

This episode is great

[@bastig114]

"and he calls this climbing"...*visible disgust* :D

[@lukewoolley3164]

The black one was 6 stars out of 5! Wish I could have a go Hope all goes/went well for Thor

[@asonei3531]

very cool boulder(s) and video!

[@korbend8430]

please do a video about streatching and flexibility with Thor!!

[@SendStory]

I always struggle with face out problems, it just feels so unnatural... although I cant say I am overly happy with kneebars either... Do they have to be labelled best/worst? How about we just go with both boulders being... interesting. Fun video!

[@daveaylott2932]

This climb looks sick

[@smuir6104]

If I'm honest, I would love to try the knee bar boulder. Mostly because I've never seen anything like it. the orange was cool, but I feel like setters everywhere are trying to build these kind, so they just aren't new anymore. Still I will happily climb them both!!!!!!

[@teaclimbing]

Alternative title, Emil tries to set more kneebars than there is in Ali Hulk Sit. Fails Spectacularly.

[@rory5986]

Would running home to brush his baby be a suitable reaction?

[@domgo800]

Hah, love this video, so funny! Really made my day :)

[@phillipebutler3796]

such an awesome and funny video!! this one seems better than the awkward orange one!

[@amit24shilaev73]

The black one absolutely classic

[@amnaK94]

id love a print of those pics!! than a tshirt!

[@magicallydelicious-]

I vote yes to the thor tshirt idea!!

[@moleyboy9650]

All that chalk usage, magnus would be like a proud of you thor :D
