Wrestling With Boxes - Route Setting - Nikken

[@IAmSaveRio]

Love the setting videos, think like a setter, climb like a setter. The beta bank grows each time. Thanks for the constant psych boys.

[@joak244]

I'm a simple man, I see Nikken, I watch and like

[@NochnMicha]

The left of the volume poses the question: How often can you drill screws into a volume before it breaks :D.

[@STREETSURFER98]

Same 😂

[@jonnes__4657]

very often :) Not the volume breaks. Only locally the screw wouldn't get fixed. .

[@x-VOLT-x]

I enjoy watching y'all horse around but I would really enjoy this doc style interspersed throughout your channel as well. I love it. Thanks for the content.

[@brandonsyverson709]

Love the route setting videos!

[@michelechernega1782]

Superb editing & creative filming. Nice how you let it be so quiet too as Nikken expertly pieced out route. Has to be hard to not comment, but you only did to ask question on ‘our’ behalf, perfect! Greatly appreciated precision of N’s explanation of setting (some of that is great editing) and I didn’t know that warming up helps not only w/ injury prevention but soreness afterwards! Thanks for definition of ‘“set screw”...super thoughtful as always. THANKS Eric & Nikken! 😻

[@purpleBrynhildr]

This was so relaxing to watch! I could watch Nikken and his creative process all day any day.

[@aykempf]

The settings videos are definitly the ones i enjoy the most, keep up the work man ! :)

[@brennen_b635]

That editing and sound design though. Gettin all professional and shiz. So cool to see behind the scenes

[@rexhartman4947]

Yesssss nikken is the best!

[@aidanloeser4890]

Congrats on Gotlands, Nikken! Love the route setting videos, Eric. I don't often recognize lyric-less songs, but this one was used when Kajsa was working a cave problem in a previous video. The flow of the song is perfect for climbing.

[@g3cd]

When you set these routes, do you think about injury risk? Like, with the top hold on the left, I would‘ve expected loads of people to slip off and hit that small triangle with their knees, shins or teeth. With the top on the right, there‘s less risk. But did you take that into account?

[@billjensen51]

Thanks for showing this setting. Nice to see the work it takes (even from a skilled setter) and thought that can go into it.

[@Spyre1984]

Really enjoy the route setting videos! Keep it up!

[@edwindejong3101]

Great editing with subtle music. Love it man!

[@Northion]

Love the route setting videos! I liked this one better compared to the one you did 3 months ago with Nikken. :) Quality getting better and better!

[@Xeratas]

14:24 wouldn't it be good to move the right foot higher? so you can step high with left on the triangle and can avoid this super awkward jump

[@fivetwoeighty7012]

A foot (maybe just a box, or another big yellow sloper volume) out left where he smeared with his left foot would fix that.

[@BlocBusters]

I love those insight routesetting videos ;)

[@NathanBetts]

Another great setting video! I love following the setter's thought process.

[@k3kkus0]

It looks like you can break the beta by stepping on the yellow holds maybe? Still cool to see the thought process from beginning to end!

[@superman6721]

It’s unlikely as the three volumes together cause you to go into a side pull layback position, which turn your hips in the opposite direction, making it hard to step your feet out right

[@smuir6104]

I really liked this. I think it is interesting to see what goes on when we all go home.

[@GamingVids1984]

Love this style of route setting video. Well done!

[@torilockwood6260]

Nikken is the actual cutest.

[@alicesullivan462]

Loved the vid. Christmas present idea for Niken, a tool belt so he can screw in the holds as soon as he finds a good position. 😊

[@sabado12100]

Well done Nikken .... seems like a cool problem. I hope to visit your gym sometime in the future. Take care ....

[@Ribald1337]

More of this!

[@Xeratas]

Awesome theme for a video. love it

[@yogaone4799]

Nice video guys! Love the slippers you are wearing when setting, what are you wearing?

[@gavinmactarnaghan]

These are so GOOD! keep it up

[@WanderlustVanlife]

Great video guys!

[@juliehudson3687]

Are you wearing Mad Rock Drones? If so, how do you like them?

[@benjaboy54]

What are the bits and tools on the impact drill that nikken is using?

[@HerrKato]

so all and all how long time did it take? u were saying 10 min + 10 min on the timer, but how long was the rearranging afterwords? Love the solo Nikken videos btw, keep it up!

[@robertsmillie1672]

Great video! That gym needs better route maintenance. Those volumes are filthy!

[@hydra66]

surely that's no different to other gyms?

[@thespedwards]

We need a Nikken hair care routine video.

[@TheUnknownFactor]

Loved the video and insight, though Im getting some weird color-banding that's kind of distracting.

[@Biomirth]

It makes me want to retake up climbing, just so I can get into setting. I love the art of it, and consideration of the climber's mind.

[@markusbrull3484]

dude 6:32 was super cool!

[@hydra66]

I'm super cautious when climbing over/ around volumes. if I fall, I want to fall onto matting, not the volumes below me.

[@osmark86]

Jaså det är du som satte upp detta? Var där igår men behöver nog bli lite vassare innan jag tacklar det där :)

[@lolytard5000]

Nikken, the flaming meatball dragon.

[@PiotrWojnowski]

Is it 6c+? Or not? :D

[@Lucatheclimber]

cool video(:This video makes me want to set too

[@EnjoyPlantPower]

As a noob I did wonder if routes were scripted or created on the fly! Interesting video to see the process 👍

[@jeaquaz1]

what do you mean "scripted" ? Like in planned in advance on drawing or something?

[@EnjoyPlantPower]

@@jeaquaz1 yes like a Lego kit.

[@ArmenJosh]

"We're basically alone in the gym right now." Someone walks by in the background.. haha

[@EricKarlsson]

Climbing turky got first! :D

[@David-go4ot]

it's* style* intimate* 👮👮👮

[@Cannonbo]

this is a job i would love. except i'm a horrible climber.

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

So many old man noises Nikken haha, nice setting though :-)

[@SkiSummer]

inb4 v1 in my gym.

[@CocoCracker]

Is nikken in tight shorts or underwear?😂

[@ethananweiler9446]

6th lol still earliest I've ever been :P

[@Fred-oz3tw]

Really nice video, but super awkward boulder. For my part i really don't want to climb this.

[@andrewmatthews9753]

First!

[@swoggofroggo9320]

20th

[@smyteyouall8256]

Third?

[@TomMotTom]

The video is great and all but what's with the depressing music... I wanted to be cheered up by some fun setting but the effect was opposite...

[@frfr335]

Decent, interesting video about the setting process but I wish I could watch it with subtitles and the audio off. Nikken's HRT speech is becoming more and more pronounced and I find it intensely grating. Even Emil has started talking more this way too. Enough!!!

[@philaeew4866]

Hm. I'm neither a native English speaker nor do I speak any Scandinavian languages, and I actually find him very easy to understand, especially since he speaks comparatively slowly. Adding subs is usually community work, but I'm really not sure it's needed here.

[@frfr335]

@@philaeew4866 Ah no, you misunderstand me I think! I'm a native English speaker too and I can understand Nikken perfectly well. It's just that I find his intonation really irritating with the HRT on every phrase spoken. It's not personal - I think he comes over very well and his enthusiasm is to be applauded. It's just his speech that irritates me and the fact that it seems to be 'infecting' others in the team. Hence my content about watching it with subtitles so I could turn off the audio.
