I like the idea of "spin for grade", makes you look at the climb, not the grade - but at the end you can still see if it should have been hard or easy.
We love the concept too!
They should introduce it to every gym!
@@CatalystClimbing I know you probably think it looks good, but I don’t necessarily think that moustache suits you, sorry man
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 Mustaches suit everyone! They just dont suit the people who have to look at them most of the time lmfao
Thats things got enough power stored in their to run a town for a year hahaha
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 it suits him soo well
I am going to miss Milo. Both for the sound of their voice and for the chemistry with Louis. Good luck with whatever it is you're going to do, Milo!
Great vid! “What are grades anyway” is totally right. I think gyms having apps where you can see who set and give a star grade for problems will be a common thing in the future. Congrats to Milo!
Yes! They have that app at Vauxwall too as well as this system
we have the Kaya app here in the states. haven't checked if they have any international stuff.
Yeah, VerticalLife in my gym, good idea and quick way to give feedback to the setters or help to other climbers (or share videos of breaking the problem to annoy the setters ;) )
My local gym puts up a few "grade vote" climbs a month to get a feel for how the regulars gauge things.
In The Netherlands most gyms use toplogger. There's usually no grade on the actual boulders, but there is an idication of the grade, usually by the color of the holds. On the app boulders are graded by the people that have climbed them and you can also give a star rating. There's a yellow climb up at my gym, which are generally around 7A, that has been rated a 2 by the only person that gave it a grading lmao. It does not look anything like a 2 btw and only 3 people have climbed it according to the app, after it having been on for over 3 weeks.
Big s/o to Milo!!! The production team deserve their limelight
Good luck with onward adventures Milo - thanks for the awesome cinematography you've provided us on the channel, it's been fab!
I love this channel, which means I love your work, Milo!!! Particularly that last video about Louis on trad. That was a spectacular climbing short.
Thank you for the lovely feedback Dylan!
This wall is definitely harder than you'd think by just watching Louis climbing it... Excellent video anyway, thank you!
Thank you for the lovely feedback!
The little hip movement to get the weight redistributed properly at 8:23... this is why i love climbing :D
It's a wonderful sport isn't it!
Hey fun video idea! Next time try showing the whole problem with a simple wider shot before guessing so the viewers can also guess along. Just seeing the start holds makes it hard to make a guess :)
Thank you for the feedback!
Best of luck to Milo in all of her future endeavors!
Love the grade hiders! Super fun concept and definitely something I'd like to see at local gyms (at least at comp portions of walls). I think it would've been funny if you guys guessed the grades and you climbed it before checking the tag (but having locked in your answer)
It's a lovely thing isn't it!
Bye Milo! Amazing work on everything so far, keep striving for greatness!
That black v8 was mental. Two hand pinch on a ceiling and then pop to a double dyno.
That was crazy.
Right?!
Thanks for all the work you've done Milo.
Louis and these kinds of videos really inspire me now that I've rediscovered them and am actually working in my first and most beloved bouldering gym in the Netherlands (GRIP in Nijmegen!) which actually doubled in size last month.
Louis is one of the few climbers whose style/flow in climbing is aesthetically just really really nice to take in. Another being the likes of Janja Garnbret and Tomoa Narasaki and Erin McNeice lately. I'm really getting heavily into bouldering again after a bit of a lull :(
So yea your work (of now 2 years ago) is much appreciated and hope you'll have a great time doing that new thing then and encounter some amazing boulders in the future!!
Cheers Louis, Milo and the rest(?) of the people there?
8:32 Louis guessing V4 because he will only cut loose 4 times on this one :'D
Bye Milo! good luck, we will miss you!
I love your video's Louis! Stumbled across this channel looking for technique advice, really admire your footwork and style of climbing. Thank you!!
Glad that you enjoy it!
great video! love the content. Just think you should make a full shot of the boulder so we can see and guess first to play with you guys
Milo, you will be missed! Best of luck on your new adventure :D
Hey Louis , please do more videos of similar length they are so fun to watch 😩
Don't worry we have more to come!
Love watching Louis climb.
aah this comp wall is so well set! Thanks for the video, really good one!
We think so too! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wish I knew when Louis climbed - I’m always at Vauxwest but never manage to see him! Awesome to see someone smash the Comp Wall though. The number of ones I can do is still single figures haha.
Don't forget you can always book a session with him through our website!
nice video! i go to vauxwall so it was kinda funny to see tom in the background of some of the shots too haha
Always lovely to see climbs and people you know ey!
Milo you are amazing, thank you!
Pretty neat idea with the grade reveals. We might have to try it out at the gym here too 🤔
It's a really fun little feature!
I think a small adjustment to the rules of this one would be cool-- for every number that you are OFF the actual grade, you do 3 push-ups. That way, it's less about who got closer than the other person, and more about getting closer in general. At the end, lots of push-ups for everyone 😁
That way, it's also okay to do the same guess, since you might both still be wrong lol.
Oh you ended up saying this halfway through lol
wow sometimes grades can be so inaccurate,you flashed all v6's easially but almost fell on a couple of v2's haha
Let's go Milo!
Seems like a chant that ends:
clap, clap, clap-clap-clap
🧢⚾
dude your so a beast! this is a good 1...U flashed nearly everything you touched! very impressive...!
Amazing stuff isn't it!
Still patiently waiting for the "foot work" series ep. 2 :)
It's coming soon don't worry!
Heya! Is it a rule to touch both feet to those starting holds? Great video, good fun to watch :D
Always if they are tagged holds and if not it's good to practice it!
Great video. I have a suggestion show the whole bouder before you guess/climb such that we can guess, too.
Thank you for the feedback!
i climbed this set on tuesday and it was sick. so many people were reading the grades before starting tho!
Each to their own isn't it!
DID NO ONE NOTICE THAT LOUIS DIDNT HAVE HES USUAL SLIPPERS ON
This has probably been asked before, but why does he do pushups right after he finishes a boulder? Is it get a more balanced workout?
That's exactly it! Working your antagonists to prevent injury
Very cool vid! Good job guys
Thank you!
cracking moustache
Who makes those giant orange ring holds? I want to tell the head setter at my gym to buy them 😭
Wait when you say your home gym is it a gym that is in your home or just a gym you own or a gym that is near your home?
A home gym is the gym you go to most often, your main gym
It's main gym and where we first started off!
BYE MILO!!! Hope you have a super lovely wholesome rewarding nice funny supernumerarily wonderful start in your new chapter.
Fun video :D
Just curious about setting though..I saw almost no crimps and the few I saw were all good ones. Did this not stand out to anyone else or is it pretty normal?
Think this was just the compwall set. There are loads of really crimpy problems at VauxWest generally.
played along, 30 pushups for me
Sped up push ups are the funniest thing to watch
We love it too!
If that first blue was v2 then I couldn’t climb a ladder 😂
All different styles ey!!
Great video Louis! It's just too bad that we can't really see the full climbs before you guys take a guess, which would allow us to also try to have a go at it :p
Love the content
Bye and congrats Milo!
Thank you!
i hare the mustache like no
Goodbye Milo! We'll miss you!
Thank you!
Great idea but you gotta show the full route on camera so the viewers will be able to guess as well 🤦♀️
Thank you for the feedback!
cmon could u please at least show the whole climb when you're guessing? I wanna guess too u know
i am in mad love with Milo
i think its funnier when english people make jokes in fancy voices, cause mf thats how you would've talked if you were born like 100 years earlier
What is that on your face!?
Pog
with all those huge holds, that only have a small sweetspot, it looks nice on the one hand, on the other hand it's a massive waste of wallspace imo
get into comp style climbing & i promise you’ll understand it
@@rasmusblomberg7373 that wouldn't reduce the waste of wallspace in any way though. For now i'm just trying to get back into the regular "oldschool" bouldering, none of that parcour dyno ballancing stuff ;)
Tbh there's nothing more annoying than trying to guess the grade and play alongside you while seeing half the boulder because it's not shown to us.
Thank you for your feedback!
