First day bouldering in Squamish was a blast. Took advantage of the good weather and 16 hours of daylight. Some sends include: The Seam V10 Shelter V13 crackhead V4 ATD V7 Pinch Block Challenge
is his name chief? or are all the onlookers just middle aged Italian dads from New York?
Nice send Ethan
Tall man nightmare
Heard a rumor that a hold broke on this a couple years ago, possibly upping the grade. Any idea? Did it feel super stout for the grade?
I didn't think I was any harder that v10. I've heard that the crimp has has crumbled away over the years but IDK
@@ethanmicele6837 thanks!
homie really out here campusing v 12’s i love it lmao sick climb 🤙
Ok
Holy shit dude. Like, holy shit.
mo training!
Boring as hell
Chief gets shit done.
Is he the chief captain from Halo?
Amazing climbs, thank you, Chief 😘
Imagine how long that video would have been without the fast forward!? Great job chief. Hell of a climb
An a-chief-ement for sure
It looks so easy...but I know it is realy hard work.....BRAVO!
I don't no why he was using so much chalk. He was just standing in one spot. But he made it so good job.
It's not like your hands won't sweat even if you're staying on the same hold for a bit.
Maybe I'm wrong and I'm not a climber and I watch a lot of these climbing videos but it seems like being in the skinny to slim range is kind of a must
you’re pretty accurate, the best climbers are built a certain way, you have to be very light, while having extreme back and finger/forearm strength. They look slim on the ground but then their arms and back muscles grow 2-3x the size on the wall. Still slim though, as they’re all really compact, but it’s easy to be fooled by their skinny look. Alex Megos, just with the tip of his finger tips with one hand can pull ~133% of his body weight, so he can pull around 75kg just with the tip of one hand.
@@TornadoGod1 Thanks for the knowledge. I imagine it's hard to maintain that strength if the climb takes say an hour ?
@@ivandesantis858 oh yeah for sure, no one can really climb relentlessly for an hour, you have to find really good rest points or you have to be an alien of endurance. Climbs this long are usually big wall climbing, which are more than one pitch, meaning you have multiple fixed anchors where you stop climbing. A single pitch could be up to 15 minutes on the long end. When you reach that point you can sit on your harness, because you have to belay your climbing partner, meaning you hold him and manage his rope until he reaches your height, then it's your turn again. Climbs up Yosemite for instance take the average climber there multiple days, since they have to rest between the pitches.
@@TornadoGod1 Wow ! Days? Jesus. Thanks for educating. One more quick question. You know those pieces of metal that are in the wall that the climber puts his carabiner through. 1: does he put that into the granite himself somehow or is it already there? and 2: How would he know if it's stable? How does he trust that?
@@ivandesantis8581. yeah, those are bolts and are directly into the stone. They last awhile, so there will be a lot of them already there in climbing areas. However, if you want to open a new route, you drill a hole first deep into the rock, and put the bolt in and hit it with a hammer, it'll slowly enter it. By hitting it, not only does it go in, but it also expands outwards, making even more stuck inside the rock. 2. You can usually tell when they aren't secure just visually, they're going to be old, worn out and rusty. The bolts in themselves are fairly long and really encased deep in the rock, so it's really solidly stuck there. On the off chance that it does break off, you'll fall to the bolt you clipped in below. It'll be a longer fall sure, but the chances that both bolts break are very very small. Typically, certain rock types are going to be naturally less secure. Bolts in granite will last awhile, but sandstone for example is much harder to set
What a great piece of rock
I could be wrong, but that really does not look like a 13 C.
yeah, deffo looks more 12c
Nice chief
Solid bro
Tl/dr leap of faith must be the bit at the beginning. Rest of it is a load of shaking and chalk dust to a sound track of "nice, Chief".
Watching people climb with ropes is so boring.
Nice route. But it's more shaking and chalking then climbing ;) I also miss the dyno in "the leap of faith" :(
what can I say I'm a pretty bad sport climber after all my Instagram name is bouldering chief and it should be called "lean of faith"
@@ethanmicele6837 Go for it 💪
Thats really inefficient climbing...
The beginning looks like every Uncharted rock climbing segment ever
Xif
Nice chief
So where is the leap of faith? I don't see one.
so the "leap of faith" is from the boulder to the start hold. It should be called the lean of faith.
Chief, the algorithm brought me here from a boulder in Leavenworth. Lmao. Nice send homie. This thing is nails
😂😂🤣 just beautiful mate
“Come on dude”
That's some really weird climbing :D well done!
Looks way harder than the 5c at my gym!
Thats because 5.13c is 8a+ in french sport grades.
@@PulseCodeMusic Yep, that was the joke xD
@@cefuli hahaha. I got your joke. But.......it doesn't look 13c or b or 13a. I wonder what part of the climb is 13. UA-cam does make climbing moves look easier than what they actually are.
Nice, Chief
Nice, Chief
Nice, Chief
Nice, come on chief
so is chief his name? because literally everyone calls him that lmao kind of funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video!
Question from a not so experienced climber: Doesn't staying on the wall for a long time make your forearms more pumpped even if you are holding on to a great hold?
It does if the hold is bad, yes, but most points where he was hanging off would be considered jugs, or good holds. Hanging off something like this allows you to shake out your arms and actually reduce the pump before you go onto the next harder section.
Holding onto the wall for any amount of time no matter the hold will get you pumped but you can (generally) build endurance by climbing a lot more and doing longer routes. At 3:00 he rests on a good hold and shakes out his arms which just helps his arms recover for a second.
Thanks
If you straighten out your arms so your skeleton is taking most of your weight instead of your muscles, you can hang on a hold for much longer without pain. You can see every time he goes for a break on a hold, he fully relaxes his arms and straightens them out to rest his muscles and put the weight on his bones.
It also helps to take some breaths and slow the heart rate down
les go mate that one's scareey
one of the scariest I've done
who changed this to a 12? back in 2010 it was a 8 lol
You’re kidding right?
it's definitely much harder than grimace
You might be thinking of midway which starts further up the line... that's a 7 I believe
This looks way too hard to be an 8
@@anthonywashkwich7958 dude tried to sandbag the shit out of this
learn one arm pullup, it'll help alot
What about the one arm push up
Cracked
me gustó este boulder por la dificultad y sobre todo por la falta de riesgo
You’re nuts dude, well done
