Worlds firsts with Alex Honnold || Fontainebleau 🇫🇷

[@BoulderingBobat]

Next episode with Hon dawg we take him to the highballs in font 👌🏽

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

The scene at the end is arguably the best thing on KZbin, all categories

[@ArchibaldVonSkip]

Magnus *IS* a handsome fella, to be honest.

[@Alex-Sand]

I hope Magnus will see this 😂

[@thomasyates3078]

I think it was a joke. Alex has a very dry sense of humour, and so do the Brits, so the whole deadpan routine worked very well. None of it was serious.

[@rasmusvainothomsen7911]

That ending was dead-pan perfection

[@allenbell1427]

For real it was the most British humor thing I could’ve asked for

[@poisonjam4564]

@@allenbell1427 Because of that interaction I was really hoping Alex got british humour... and I'm not even british

[@Ethan-bx5hk]

“I only watch magnus” had me dead

[@andrewjsusanto]

B and Alex had great chemistry in that interview

[@lukedavies900]

The fact that Toby now frequently appears in Bobat (and Wide Boyz etc) videos is so sweet. Dude's vibes are impeccable and he's super humble given he's one of the best power parkour athletes ever.

[@1AmTheStig]

Love the cheeky behind-the-camera cameo from Sacha

[@ontheballcity71]

I met him once at Arch. He is genuinely a really nice guy; I had no idea who he was. He taught me the beta on a dyno.

[@rtohara]

I'm sorry but Toby just casually walking by unannounced is 👌

[@danrkelly]

That was a moment I realised I may be more of a Segar fan that a Honnold fan. #StorrorArmy

[@stratiform8106]

It was so natural I didn't even click until reading this comment

[@kaita1k119]

I thought he did parkour only didn’t kno he climbed I was shook🤣

@@kaita1k119 He recently got into it. There's some funny videos with him on the WideBoyz KZbin channel :)

[@precursor4263]

Really wish there was footage of Toby on helicopter tho. Super fun boulder, gonna try it again in a month. It's just such a weird jump, Honnold makes it look quite casual but it's really not

[@Matt-yu5ed]

Alex's dry sense of humour is golden.

[@LukaLikesClimbing]

imagine bouldering in font and "oh shit is that bouldering bobat? oh they brought toby too sick! ALEX HONNOLD?!!??!"

[@RobQuinney]

💯 🤣👌

[@charlievovor]

Alex saying he only watches Magnus was EVERYTHING😂

[@oskain]

everything what?

[@charlievovor]

It is oddly refreshing to watch Alex climb something that is completely safe.

Apart from Helicoptere, I've seen some insane splaats of off that.... (ambulances etc..)

[@instinctroller]

@@joolsgrommers1466 That hadn’t occurred to me, but totally makes sense! The way the feet cut on the jug could definitely send you flying, hah

[@bananarama3624]

He's literally said that 99% of the climbing he does is on a rope lol.

[@instinctroller]

@@bananarama3624 This is true, but most of the videos I get to see of him (including his profiles on Reel Rock) are of him soloing - half dome, moonlight buttress, even “too big to flail” is a massive highball etc etc There’s not a ton of footage of Alex doing random bouldering at normal heights

[@kellenscott555]

If you asked him whether he would trust his life on a route he has dialed or a flash attempt on a sandstone font test piece then what do you think he would say…

[@jasonstearn6389]

"He likes leaves" - the timing and the delivery of this had me 😂😂

Honestly, he's irritatingly good at climbing now! 💪

That closing of the video was hilarious!😂

[@wixic111]

Toby Segar seems to be almost an honorary bobat at this point. Love it.

[@robertnewell4054]

“I only watch Magnus” Those Nordic good looks keeps winning out

[@ThunderChunky101]

I love how Honnold is always smiling and up for a joke! 😂 Lovely stuff from everyone!! Great video.

[@wadball]

Loved so much about that episode! Outside. Honnold. B & JP playing with leaves. Joe holding infant. Annie giggles behind the camera. Tom & Omar power duo

[@BearTheManPk]

and toby is just tis bigfoot ginger lurking in the back xd

[@maxblair3317]

Not to state the obvious here, but 0:48 showcases just how insanely good Alex is at NOT falling lol.

[@2hatsful]

Alex is awesome but also glad to see a lot of the comment sections was hyped like me when seeing Toby! Love that guy!

[@Gzzzzzz111]

When Alex said "when Vikings do it, it's not that impressive. but when Brits do it, that's like a ball of muscle" that had me dying lol

[@nurfuerdieplaylist]

Alex Honnold = instant like! Toby Segar out of nowhere, too! Amazing climbs as well, great episode! :)

[@equinox2345]

The end of this video is the best piece of media you guys have ever put out and it's not even close!

[@Dropieful]

Rewatched the ending literally 5 times. Comedy gold 😂

[@wdwdHenry9022]

that last conversation was the best part of this video

[@alexgalays910]

"is that really how you close videos"? YES, and please don't change it! We need to hear about that one time B took a shit.

[@ShakespeareanBroncobuster]

I could have watched 2 hours of Honnold x Bobat bouldering in Font.

[@ninjabeth100]

Alex's reaction to B's classic outro though 🤣

[@senorblondie]

I remember working a problem once in the late 90's and Francois Legrand was stealing my beta. I told him he should probably go first and work out better beta and he told me it was his first time to Fontainebleau and he wasn't used to bouldering. I told him, since he was the reigning World Cup lead champion surely he'd work out better beta than I could come up with. He was a nice humble guy to work a problem with. I've had so many great memories like this climbing in the forest...

[@elliotrichards6948]

I've been waiting for someone to take Honnold bouldering! What a guy

[@cdb9154]

Congratulations to Alex, climbing l'Abattoir so easily while not used to bouldering in Fontainebleau is a huge success. To me you are the Best climber worldwide !

[@demyurgeAN]

The amount of foot slips on that flash ascent was astounding. I would have touched the ground on the first one but somehow he hangs on.

[@SwainixFPV]

Had no clue he could speak french so well

[@adamtothefuture]

@@SwainixFPV I think his mom was a French teacher?

[@andyjennings457]

L’Abattoir was the first 7a in Fontainebleau. The joker was given 6c in 1953 when it was first done but then a hold broke after L’Abattoir was done and it increased in grade to 7a.

[@BoulderingBobat]

Good knowledge ! 👌

[@Rainbowstunting]

Also the higher foothold to the left of the undercling that they used is not supposed to be used as it's an eliminant problem. Never knew it was given 6c at first though, nice bit of history, thanks!

[@RewildingFlanders]

Are the grades used in the video Font-grades or French?

[@Rainbowstunting]

@@RewildingFlanders French is for sport climbing, so it's Font grades.

With Parcour & Bouldering both being birthed in Paris, it must’ve been a crazy time back in the 20’s. BTW PA’s (Pierre Alian) shoes were available I believe

"Is that really how you close videos?"

[@TerjeMathisen]

I've only been to Font once, back in 1982. This was still before sticky rubber and pads, as well as chalk: You were only supposed to use some natural resin (from fir trees?). I don't remember a single boulder we did, but I do remember being blown away by ancient (so 40-60 years old?) local climbers who seemed to simply flow up the walls, doing their daily circuits. :-)

[@LetalisLatrodectus]

You are still only supposed to use resin if you must use something. Chalk is frowned upon.

[@paullegloan1502]

@@LetalisLatrodectus Frowned upon by old-school bleausards, maybe, though it's still very widely used over pof (resin).

[@madraven5915]

@@LetalisLatrodectus Although puf is much worse for the longevity of the climbs. Just use less chalk

Now I don't feel so bad that I couldn't top a (different) 6A in Font. Some of those things are proper sandbagged.

[@demyurgeAN]

I swear some old school boulders in Font, especially slabs, have become essentially unclimbable because the footholds have turned to marble
