style seems so little discussed in climbing but is so important. Shawn has the purest most elegant and powerful style, such technique and form and coordination. like art moving over stone.
Dude. This video is great. Understated, just enough editing, no contrived story about overcoming hardship, etc... Great shots, great music choice. hope there're more videos of the same nature.
All the tiny little shifts and movements are cool to see. That’s what I need to get better now. Strength and power are ALWAYS needed but I think the movement vocabulary to fuel changes in microbeta is underrated
Going black and white to add some visual interest back into a horrible light situation and to make all the noise look like intentional film grain was a very good move. 👍
Such a good video, the B&W effect, the soundtrack, everything is on point. I also love the fact that Shawn looks so chill climbing this, so cool. I've been climbing for 8+ months now and videos like this are inspiring!
This is how you make a send vid. Not overly artistic with worthless shorts and “stories. Straight forward and fairly short with music that doesn’t blow butt. Standard but effective pump up that matches the beat of the climb. Classic. Great send.
I watched Sean Bailey FA this in person and I have to say…y’all should’ve let him get his video out first. Great work on the repeat though, it’s an epic line for sure. I really enjoyed seeing all the holds of evilution from those angles as well.
surprise drop, the best. made the climb look way to easy. and some of the best filming ive seen on this boulder/in general for climbing. editing was amazing. doesnt get much better thanks all
I remember watching Megos try this when he was also trying lucid. Stoked to see it finished. IMO, less impressive than the process. Stoked to see him finish that soon as well. no doubt he can.
With the B&W edit it already has. Who in 2024 realeases in monochrome? Most players have a feature to do it, unfortunately can't go the other way round. Weird choice.
I thought about it for a few minutes but this might be the craziest boulder I've ever seen. This was insane to watch. Love the shot at 4:11. Shawn's style is just so immaculate!
That seems right. He does the direct which I thought was consensus V11. The original line is the V12 one, but that one turns left near the lip to use different holds. The description on the video is a little misleading. @@DLH21987
places rock on bouldering pad. we have come full circle.
Need to put a tiny pad on top of it
@@maxfern5701 Need to put a tiny rock on that tiny pad so it does not fly away

Shawn the frank ocean of climbing, he disappears but we all know he’s somewhere creating some fire
Bro r u slow? Frankie aint creating shit 4 us...

Facts
I see shawn raboutou and I click, simple.
Men scroll. Men see shawn rabatou. Men happy
Never ceases to amaze me how Shawn will send some of the hardest problems in the world and after topping out just be like “Cool, man”
Was there ever a single time he threw a tantrum "faaaaaaaak, you ffff....kn piece of sh..."? I guess not
Makes me wonder what his limit actually is
I feel like I would be more excited if i sent v16.

Devilution is nice and all, but this is also basically the best beta video for Evilution ever.
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Cruised it
Where does Evilution start? It is a higher start right? But how many moves in?
@@andrewhunter6536 Evilution begins when Shawn makes the third hand move. Devilution adds two ridiculously difficult moves to the beginning (single move 14/15 if I recall correctly?)
@@andrewhunter6536 I think it's just two moves in. It's the hold he jumps to / snatches with the left hand.

The only “style” that matters is if it was in “good style”. I.e. adhering to the ethics of the time and not “cheating” or damaging anything.
Reminds me of Ty Landman, which is incredibly high praise
Other pro climbers say he has a "little kid style" of climbing. :)
The gritty aesthetics in the cinematography compliments the boulder and the send so much
Plus Joy Division for the intro
Felt like I was watching free solo 2, what a boulder!
the zoom out at the end truly struck fear into my heart!
In case you don't know, we call it a "high-ball" when it sort of skirts the line between boulder and rope, but you end up doing it as a boulder.
@@blairdowis491 The heel hook at the lip is what got me. So much confidence in his hand, given what the fall would mean for his head.
@@Yakushiiis an 80 foot highball actually a highball or a solo? Idk the height of this bolder but this feels almost past highball
@@TristanCleveland Yeah some heel hooks in the gym feel sketchy at times, couldn't imagine this one.
Walked by this today, absolutely stunning. Had to rewatch this video.
Overhanging boulder to vertical climbing to slab free solo to rocky hiking, quite a trip!
shawn + mellow = great day
Dude. This video is great. Understated, just enough editing, no contrived story about overcoming hardship, etc... Great shots, great music choice. hope there're more videos of the same nature.
that last shot when he climbs the slab and the camera just keep following him! great edit and music choice
That upper section just before it turns into a slab looks terrifying!
First Scarpa, now BD. Love to see Shawn getting the recognition he deserves 🦾
Agreed, but also disappointed he went with a company like BD
@@otpeezy5788what's wrong with BD?
@@im_imofaulty sos emergency rescue equipment, which is terrifying
@@otpeezy5788 meh, more integrity than TNF
@@otpeezy5788let’s hope he’s not being paid in shoes. He’d never climb anything again
First V16 on Giedi Prime, GG
OMG :DDDDD
lol
yuhhhh mellow x dune
This is my fav video on youtube and I'm not even joking.
Love the editing, music, boulder and Shawn ofc
not the devilution video we expected, but the one we needed
That reveal shot at 4:10 is so perfect
All the tiny little shifts and movements are cool to see. That’s what I need to get better now. Strength and power are ALWAYS needed but I think the movement vocabulary to fuel changes in microbeta is underrated
Going black and white to add some visual interest back into a horrible light situation and to make all the noise look like intentional film grain was a very good move. 👍
One of the best climbing videos ever.
Massive rock. Girth and texture 10/10
Shawn puts the mellow in mellow climbing
Outstanding music choice!
Such a good video, the B&W effect, the soundtrack, everything is on point. I also love the fact that Shawn looks so chill climbing this, so cool. I've been climbing for 8+ months now and videos like this are inspiring!
Doing the whole Black diamond partnership announcment video using only Scarpa shoes is a Boss move :D
and organic pads
BD chalk bag though
I hope he still gets to wear fresh ass nf drip tho
The only Shawn Raboutou video a mortal would use for beta
Instant classic. Congratulations on the video and the send. Consider my head bowed.
This is how you make a send vid. Not overly artistic with worthless shorts and “stories. Straight forward and fairly short with music that doesn’t blow butt. Standard but effective pump up that matches the beat of the climb. Classic. Great send.
The technique is flawless, like art
As much as the business down low, his footwork up top hopping around is just incredible.
joy division🙌🙌
Shawn shawn shawn. You are breath taking 😁💪💪💪
Good ole Shawn Rabbitshoes at it again. Love the grainy vid for a grainy boulder. Felt like if the Harkonnens were chill
My devilution, My dune
What a piece of art.
so much power, so much control, so much finesse
E P I C ! So clean, so smooth and a nail-biting topout. 4:03 abundance of happiness :)
Damn crazy this wasn’t announced 💀
True Shawn fashion tho
Same with aidan roberts, he's done something a couple months ago that he hasn't released yet (probably can't really say but it's big)
@@lawsong6663same w Bailey lol

@@Arithmophobia careless talk gang
The way Shawn cruised that top out.. I was nervous watching to be honest.
just once i'd like to see this dude get visibly excited
Made it look chill. Love the black and white edit
WOW, congrats on the 2nd ascent! And kudos to the team that filmed and edited... so incredible to see this send up close 👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing combination of power and elegance!
Been waiting for this one. Shawn is an absolute beast 🔥
Now I want him to send Lucid Dreaming so bad
1 move in and its already insane
Pretty crazy to catch that left hand crimp in a 3 finger drag 🤯
excellent song choices
Impeccable song selection
And as always bro got hot tracks on his playlist
the b&w is sick
the black and white is such a vibe
Probably shawn Is the strongest climber i ever seen, he is a spectacular machine of climbing
Damn, a fall from any part of that mantle or slab would be bad news. Great climb
That white shirt just glows! So sick.
Just so inspiring
Shawn climbing hard to Joy Division? Hell yeah!
Highballs are the best. What a mega boulder
I watched Sean Bailey FA this in person and I have to say…y’all should’ve let him get his video out first.
Great work on the repeat though, it’s an epic line for sure. I really enjoyed seeing all the holds of evilution from those angles as well.
i love Shawn Raboutou
Fortunately no foot holds broke on the slabe during the ascent... I hope there was enough pads on the floor 😰😰😰
The real question...how do you get down after the send?!
it just kept going! thats a free solo
Brooke's brother is so strong.
Such amazing climbing as always!! Always love a good surprise send vid
So strong, love the music and the photography
this man is such an aesthetic in itself
need a ten-hour version of "surely he's topping out now?"
Long time no see, glad to see him back
surprise drop, the best. made the climb look way to easy. and some of the best filming ive seen on this boulder/in general for climbing. editing was amazing. doesnt get much better thanks all
Bro that Joy Divison in the begining got me goosebumps
Sick send from Shawn, but when are we getting the Sean Bailey FA?
epic for me like Shawn like the shaman of climbing
That's a sick boulder
Such awesome work!
this b&w is crazy.
That is a high ball wow
I remember watching Megos try this when he was also trying lucid. Stoked to see it finished. IMO, less impressive than the process. Stoked to see him finish that soon as well. no doubt he can.
welcome to the team
dudes fingers are made of steel
This thing is gonna age damn well

would've beeb so sick to see this in infa-red, harkonnen style
You need to come back to Europe soon. There is a highball waiting there. It's called Excalibur. :)
Oh yeah gotta love it
palms... instantly sweaty. well done sir.
Wild we got 2nd ascent footage before the FA from Sean
Same thing that happened with Defying Gravity. Nathaniel's 4th ascent was posted before Noah's 3rd
My first thought when seeing the caption before even pressing play on the video was "Mellow/Black Diamond screwed up they mixed up Shawn and Sean" lol
Coming to climbing with a skateboarding background i really enjoy the style of the video. Music, the filter etc. everything is aesthetic. Great work
Just that topout on its own would have caused most of us to be totally gripped.
Well this is unexpected and exciting!!!!!!
that's a big rock
So it's two insanely hard moves into a V12.
Yes
I believe it goes as a V11 the way he topped it out
That seems right. He does the direct which I thought was consensus V11. The original line is the V12 one, but that one turns left near the lip to use different holds. The description on the video is a little misleading. @@DLH21987

The b/w intro wirh Joy Division is awesome.. What a bloc.. And rhe name is a great High on Fire song. Cheers.
