Topping the gym ranking in one session
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 гру 2024
- The gym I went to uses an app where I could log in the boulders I sent and then does a ranking of your 10 hardest sends. I wanted to see if I could get to the top of the list in one session...

Complaining at my finest in this video 😂🥲
I would be too as these boulders look horrid...yuck
that's what makes it tangible, best part of the video! 😂
"ça c'est duuur !" 😂 😂 😂
1:08 you are supposed to start with your hands at the two holds with the white paper markings. Meaning those are the first things on the wall you are allowed to touch with your hands. Then you have to establish your starting position by not touching the ground for approximately 3 seconds. Only now you can move on with your hands. In competition boulders the starting position of all 4 limbs are dictated 💟🌌☮️
Also a boulder problem is only really considered to be topped when touching the top hold for at least 2 seconds!
I think this would be a perfect video for a series. I would love to see you do this again. It's always so instructional to watch you climb.
I plan on posting a bit more instructive/ pure climbing vids!!
I like the series idea. This one was particularly fun to watch.
@@sofya_yokoyama That sounds great! ☺️
I like the series idea too
I like the series idea too
"Scheiße man!"
I just love that you come from the french part of switzerland and still swear in german😂
Ahahah yeah I’m surrounded by a lot of german speakers
Perfect opportunity for, “Pardon my… German.” xD
I like the swearing. Very relatable. Also I have never seen someone climb as hard irl, you are crushing it.
Bro that little laugh after toping a boulder gets me everytime 🤣. Great video and great climbing btw, so nice to see you uploading again!
I always surprised myself when i top certain boulders cause i did not expect it 😂 and thank youuu!!
Le Cube!!! Great to see my former gym again :) Greetings from Amsterdam!
Super fun vid! Especially since it’s the gym where i climb. Watching you flash those reds that i tried a bunch which is my project grade was awesome to see. Also, shout out to le cube escalade for being the best gym ever. The staff is so nice too
Great that you can come out of the session with a positive attitude. Incredible work! I hope to see more of you in the World Cup circuit.
I would love to see more of these videos. Maybe like a mini series? Would be cool to see the differences between gyms ! Also really cool to do with friends and make it a challenge!
Im not sure how many gyms have this app but can definitely do another one if i do find another gym with it 👌👌
Not a climber myself, but when one of my friends was going to marry we bought a time on a climbing wall for beginners. It was so hard lol, so I really have respect for seeing what you can do. You are so good at it, and have a very athletic body. So I guess you have done it allot.
Great premise on this one! Stoked to watch!
And speaks English at home 🤷
Like the fun personality. Makes it enjoyable to watch.
I always love watching your videos. You climb like a sailor, and curse like a monkey. Thanks for the inspiration and the giggles!
The route reading on some of those boulders is very impressive!
Great video! It's super motivating to send you in your "try hard" modus.
I loved the orange grade (black climb) you did. I really love this boulder style, even when I still need to improve in it.
And don't worry, everyone has "complaining" days, and you did great; it's a good video. So much better to see and learn, instead of just watching people flashing stuff.
Perfect video to watch before going to bed 🤟
Your personality (and ofcourse sends) made me sub.
Always bringing that nice vibe of yours!
Your confidence is infectious! Makes me want to project at my limit! 😍
Very nice watching this vid! Good job on those flashes and that mature mindset! I always find it so hard to leave a project when there is a small grain of possibility to send. But especially if you really really just love to climb alot of different things you gotta move on and return when you actually want to project hard and improve yourself vs. going for bigger volume, more styles etc...
I also find it hard sometimes to move on but here my body was slowly dying so if i continued in those hard projects, the sends wouldn’t have been as nice ahah
Nice work! Great technique.
Le Cube! I've been to Switzerland once and you guys have so many great climbing gyms to choose from. Anyway, great vid as usual :)
Yess it’s really great around here and thank you!
"I'm just gonna do climbs I can flash!"
*proceeds to hop on V9/V10...*
=O
Trooooop cool 🎉 hard climbing down here 👌🏼
It's so satisfying watching strong climbers, great video and the "scheiße mann" made me laugh 😂
need more vids, great content
Sick sends Sofya 🤙
George! It's you.
Way to onsight, George, 4 is super considering you did that in one session.
2:52 Sofya is so my dad somtimes.
Mais c'est le cube ça !
Good video 😊💪💪
beautiful beast 😮😮😮😅❤
Why is your name George?
Long story short i like the name george and thought of calling myself that that day lol
Do you have a second mat you use on top of the centre mats?
I think they do have them in the gym but i didn’t use them
nice video! what's the name of this app??
Toplogger!
9:34 did you just swear 😂😂😂
why are there green crash pads randomly scattered on the floor?
The walls are quite high so if anyone feels like they need an extra pad, there are some :)
@@sofya_yokoyama does an extra pad actually help cushion more?
@@ParthPatel-om4on i think it does a bit! They are softer than the gym mats and it does helps mentally thinking you’re not falling from thaaat high ahah
Those black circly holds are the worst, we have them at my gym (but in yellow) and it’s rare that I can do those routes.
Yeah same ahaha they’re so baaad
George best wishes at next attempt. I belive
when you climb the video seems sped up or is it the frame-rate?
Sometimes it is sped up a bit because i was climbing too slow
imagine being flexed on so hard. damn
9:35 i never been more skared
Loool
George is still number 1 on my leaderboard 🥺❤
Maaaww thanks 🫶
Think you need a Magnus style disguise for George’s next vid 😂
Ahaha that could be a cool idea
What's the name of the app?
Toplogger :)
scheiße man 😅
if something isnt going your way just say "scheibenkleister" 😂
J'avais oublié George mdr
and if you don't flash a boulder you can still delete your account and start again from zero
Will definitely think of that next time
Great great great. Great climbing and great genuine way of cracking jokes
Damn gurl, u climb hard
Je s'avais pas que tu parlais français
She, is, so, strong =o
I mean she start by an 7a xD
She's cute
She's fun
But most importantly
She knows how to climb
Non non non pas assez bon ;) il faut travailler plus fort (sans les crimps)
1:08 you are supposed to start with your hands at the two holds with the white paper markings. Meaning those are the first things on the wall you are allowed to touch with your hands.

In the second boulder problem again, you didn't establish the boulder. Can't watch this. I wouldn't mind when someone is just bouldering for recreation/fitness but you are bragging and "crushing" a leaderbord.
Sooo first of all, the start for that first boulder is actually where my hands are (if you look closely, you’ll even see a red tape showing the grade). And the white paper markings you see on the higher hold actually have pictures of feet on them to show where you need to have your feet. Second of all, as you said “in competition”, there are 4 tapes and yes you can only use and touch those holds when starting a boulder. But this isn’t a comp, it’s a public gym and they have their own rules on how to start a boulder which I have totally respected. Third of all, as being someone who actually competes on the ifsc circuit, there’s no such thing as a 3 second starting position and the “holding the top hold for at least 2 seconds” doesn’t exist anymore. All you need to be is stable ;)
And as much as I may be “bragging”, holding the start positions and top hold for 2 seconds are absolutely nothing compared to the actual moves in the boulders. So yeaaahh. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Hello! I work in that gym and she started exactly as intended: The white markings you see on the top hold are for the feet.
As a coach I know it's something we often tell beginners to help them understand but there is no such thing as a "X seconds" rule, and I think Sofya knows it well since she's competing at the highest level (international IFSC circuit).
Finally, it's pretty common not to match the last hold for long but just touch it when you're not competing and know that you controlled it. In her case, it is pretty clear she did indeed control it.
I hope this helps and will allow you to watch the video 😉
@@sofya_yokoyama You are wrong, often times the starting holds are some kind of a filter. Also fatigue adds up during a boulder problem and you just save your finger stamina by rushing from the bottom with momentum. What you did at the second problem at the start would not be considered established at a competition, rightly so. (If you search there are even rules inside the fag of the app)
scheiße mann... haha
Am I the only one who thinks touching a non-starting holds counts as an attempt?..
cool complaining ;)
