The sirens really set the ambiance.
💯💯
Nice. What is the landing like? 2 Pads enough?
Nice. Finally looks dry over there!
Ive always respected people who can do this. Great work.
this one looks surprisingly decent
Imagine my surprise when finding out NYC has more quality stuff not in Central Park
I always did this one with the left hold for the same reason, and to me feels certainly no easier than V4 with that hold. Feels fair. Either way, nice send!
Ah yeah, think this would definitely climb/flow better with left hold on (and still be V4) Thanks!
Goat
Hah, oops, did I go off route at the top? ua-cam.com/video/l0MZzPfJs38/v-deo.html
Amazing work on that! It's a difficult, rewarding, and kind of scary problem... Maybe a bit more like V6?
I think Railbender is more solidly 6
@rochesterinnyc thanks for your view! I found the topout quite difficult (have no idea what you're hanging on to up there, so maybe I overlooked a crucial handhold. I remember kind of desperately pulling on bad slopers to get my feet on the ledge)... That throw from the rail to the edge out left felt like a big power/coordination test, too, respect for making it look easy!
U seemed underwhelmed
Harder to yell or scream fuck yeah when there are tourists + kids all around
classic james wen actually doing the hard moves the right way
Dude are you climbing right now in the heat?? I went bouldering near sour lands a couple weeks ago and that was when the heat wave was just starting in Jersey lol
Kind of, been going out as long as it's <=90 degrees and under 50-60% humidity, 80ish degrees has been surprisingly doable with a portable fan

return of the king

Where is this?
In upstate(ish) NY
I miss Chat and U :(
Miss you too man, hoping to get out for some LI bouldering this summer 🤝
@@rochesterinnyc Just let me know dawg!
youre back in new york! also donkey span was my first V4! this one looks possible as well!
I am! (For a while at least) Nice, get on it!
Rip shoe
Still searching for a replacement...
I love that james wen uploads a video every day after he goes on a trip, cant wait to see other cool rocks youve climbed
He’s a beast!
Isn’t this the v4, Yoshi? Nonetheless, you made it look easy!! 💯
Oh, you're right, thanks!
babe wake up new James wen beta just dropped
my king james wen has beta for every project i ever wanna try
Thanks babe, will you make a cup of coffee while I watch him? You're the best.
That mantle is no joke! Cruised it 🔥
Missing those southern mantles hahah
he's back
Just in time for prime temps and condies 😎
nice jam
nice shoes
thanks, never have to replace them
Smooth - nicely done!
thanks!
hey james, i'm heading to long island for some beaches and boulders june 1-10. i was inspired by your videos and wanted to check the area out! i have a question for you - how was access in your experience? it seems like parking and access can be a bit sparse, so wanted to see what your experience was like. just let me know!
Hey, depends what areas you're trying to check out, the GunksApp guide has pretty good recommended parking advice for each area. If you're looking to check out East Marion in particular, you want to avoid parking right next to the beach entrance and instead park on the side roads non-obtrusively (watch out for no parking signs). I typically parked around like maps.app.goo.gl/VncPMw6tUnCx5aCLA
Wow - with the leaves falling this is like an anime sword fight video.
Fall in the NE is definitely magical
sick boulder!
Thanks! Top 3 at the Powerlinez
Nice light! And of course great climbing
Thanks!
It gears up nice with cams, then it's just wildly fun. Of course, big picture it's definitely a boulder problem.
Is there a trad route right above/topping out? I could see that
Well done! What a great climb with the finger slot.
Thanks!
Cool head man
Thanks!
Prop James! Real, real and proud. I'm working on the re-write for the climbing 'Linez guidebook, which does have the full route, but obviously it does make for a compelling boulder problem. So great to watch - brought me to my pre-break moment underclinging reaching for the lip) thanks for posting. And general, I'm interested in who has the post-break-FA. I know all the online guides can be updated pretty easy, and Chris posted an update on the trad climb for MP, it'd be good to suss out opinions on grading. Thanks and congrats - Jon
Thanks! I think V5 is fair, but that might be also due to the headiness of having the boulder right beneath you for the spicier moves
you made it look like a v1 not a v7
Compression's my jam! It feels every bit of V7+ when you traverse into it for the 8
Not bad
Hell yeahh
Awesome
Fantastic back musculature bro!
V3 in my gym.
V0 traverse*
One of the most annoying 0s I have climbed
Great introduction to Southern sandstone, mantles, and the topout style there for sure
Crushing through it! Nice climb!
Is this on mountain project?
Don't think so? It's in the Chattbloc guidebook though
That last move is gnarly great send
Thanks! Luckily the hold you slap to is good (or it'd be leagues more spicy)
🔥🔥🔥
Precise 🔥
"not really a climb" nigga you do eliminates at the powerlinez. also lol @ bothering to downgrade a v5
I think this is polish reverse!
Yup, you are correct, thanks for the correction!
