A very long time ago, i.e. around 1977 when I started climbing and the only climbing shoes were the original EBs, slab climb grading was easy: If the route was 5.11 or harder, then by definition it should not be possible to stand still, your foot would be slowly sliding downhill. I bolted a new route at Fosen (the community south of Flatanger) in 1981, just the two bolts absolutely required to link together two crack systems, I fell twice on the crux about 5m above the second bolt before I did the first ascent. When the Boreal Fire turned up with Formula 1 rubber a lot of impossible slabs suddenly became climbable, and my Andromeda which linked together Himmelstigen ("Stairway to Heaven") and Melkeveien ("The Milky Way") started getting a lot more repeats. 🙂
Cool thanks for those things, made some history there. Fun to see you in this comment section. Hope you are still climbing strong must be strange to still see those routes climbed on on here? I live in Holland and read about it. Take care
@@dennis1802 I'm still climbing about twice/week, but pretty nearly all on plastic. My stamina dropped when I reduced the training volume, but it is only since I passed 55 or so that max strength also started dropping. (I was born in 1957)
It is very refreshing to see people celebrating the art, beauty and anxiety provoking activity we know as slab climbing!! Awesome and entertaining video Talo!! Saludos desde Curacao 🧗♀🧗♂🧗
I fucked my ankle up too about 9 months ago and I still too continue to climb! Got two screws and a plate and I am not gonna lie somedays it gets me down but its awesome to know there are others out there that feel the struggle!
Been loving the series, thanks! I’m thinking about a trip there this spring. How is the bolting? I see it’s pretty ok with this newer hard stuff, but what about the older or easier climbing? Or is there the possibility for top ropes on some of them? Thanks!
I wished they spoke more on this. Any more insights? Are you wearing them in already super tight shoes or are you sizing up and filling the dead space with socks? From their description, I was thinking the shoes are already pretty tight, but the socks are filling in the dead spaces. Sounds uncomfortable... I tried it once in my trad shoes (which are tight but comfortable without socks) and I was so miserable when I finished the pitch that I swore never to do it again!
@@mls01981 I always try on with socks so they are sized for that. I pretty much only do trad now so comfy sized with socks. I tried no socks when I started climbing but couldn't get past the heel blister phase.
It would be super cool if you made a real slab-ducation video of tips, techniques and things you’ve learnt after climbing so many slabs.
That's the main idea of these episodes 🤘
Thanks. That sounds great. Looking forward to the next ones 🤙🏼
Feels good to see strong climbers having fun, top roping, chilling out, and not screaming of pain at every move... :) Gracias por eso momento :)
Not all days are psssssat days🤣😂

Also, what happened to the full film Raise? Is it just not out yet? I’m excited for the inspiration!
We have some serious glass granite slab up here in Northern Cali but that looks REALLY hard!
Props for singing "Clandestino"
This granite is super rough, that's why the slabs have a lot of smears and good friction
Ahora falta una recopilación de resbalones
I'm also someone who likes to climb wearing socks and with stiffer lasted flat shoes on slab.

Gracias
