B being weird in other videos now 😂 loving the UK content, next time your over would be great to see you do the Beast Wall at Swindon (ideally with Louis and Josh Randle!)
I had the pleasure of visiting the gym last november. It really is worth the trip from the centre of London. Best gym experience i've ever had. Great boulders and great people! Loved the video Emil. You make everything look so easy 😭😉
I've been veen watching your videos for what feels like years now. I am always so shocked at the quality of the content and then I look at the subscribers. You put so much work into these videos you deserve millions more.
Hi Emil, thanks for another fun video. Loved the Collab! I wonder, do you usually crush commercial gyms like this? Even the hardest grade does not take you too long to top. Isn't it kinda boring for you sometimes? I always enjoy seeing you in battle Mode, but this seemed like a walk in the park or is that only down to the editing? Obviously you are freaking strong and I wonder what it must feel like to enter a gym and not having multiple projects when walking out again. Thanks for all your inspiration over all these years. There was more than one occasion that your videos made try smarter and harder. Keep the great work up!
Haha fun question. It differs a lot from gym to gym, but generally I’ll most likely flash everything except maybe 2-5 boulders in a medium sized gym, as long as they set stuff that’s kind of my style. Then again, I’ve spent full sessions trying to top tricky slab routes in commercial gyms only to leave empty handed. At Hang I did all the boulders, but it was a great session for me anyhow with lots of fun! It’s definitely not boring getting to climb all the boulders, but consequently 95% of my climbing training are on spray walls or Kilterboards. Hope that answers your questions :-)
@@TheXeeman just don’t find the moonboard so applicable to rock climbing and stuff I enjoy doing. With my size it’s just high-step into a crunched position and explode. Also a higher risk of injury for me because of the shape of the holds. What moonboard kills it with is the progression and gamification system though, for that I’ve used it here and there. This being said, my ideal world would be a mix of the two into one board!
@@EmilAbrahamsson interesting, I've never thought of it that way. you are right, I've seen a lot more injuries on the moonboard than the kilter for sure
Hang is the best gym and my local gym, great to see you there, I wish I could have come and met you there in person a huge fan! great video really enjoyed seeing you climb the spicy boulders I still struggle with medium spicy and now and then can get a hot one.
I love to see the collabs. It gives a good reference of strengths and weaknesses across the different climbing content creators. Would love to see you at The Boardroom in Wales, they have an 8m indoor psicobloc and some spicy boulders. The boardroom is also opening a second location in Wimbledon. 👍
Great video! Thanks for the in person Beta on the Blue Very hot (skipping the dyno) I too have reviewed this gym on my channel and have similar thoughts! 😂
You obviously haven’t been in WestWay! Best route setters in London! Very creative, many different styles, comp moves and a lot of fun on lead and boulder. If you go climbing elsewhere in London and do the same grades you do in WW, you’ll feel cheated and quickly see the difference! 🎉 It’s an art!
Emil has the best fan support for crushing boulders, haha! Also I thought the bobats business modell was centered around bouldering, but apparently it is more water focused ;) ('I'm doing business here' ;) ). But B was relatively cool considering his shallow water solo wasn't really all that solo anymore ;). In all seriousness, looks like really great setting and a beautifull nice gym! Sick dynos!
Yonder is probably my favourite wall and much closer for me. But Hang is definitely worth the trip on occasion. I'm not naturally a very dynamic climber but Hang incorporate momentum in lots of different guises (not just big dynos), so don't be put off by the comp style setting
@@EmilAbrahamsson haha. Nice Video. More hard climbing would be nice :) Im mean people like to see u, climbers in generell try hard. Surely only if skin, etc. is fine :)
Not anymore, very short and intense trip to the UK. Should probably come back, several collabs with other fun creators that unfortunately haven’t been made still!
You're missing the point my dude, it's not about not liking grades. It's about how V grading in a gym is too subjective.... Doesn't make sense to have it indoors
Wide, non-specific grades gets climbers to try stuff they otherwise wouldn’t. As a case-study example, I set a 7C once in one of the gyms I worked at, but left it ungraded for a week to see how that affected the traffic on it (holds were pretty good, moves looked fun). In the week where it was ungraded I saw countless climbers who usually max out at 7A try it and fight on it, after the grade tag it saw little to no climbers on it anymore. People will always let grades dictate their experience (sometimes for good reason, sometimes not), so it’s good to try and make them as wide as possible.
Thanks for coming to the best gym in London, will definitely be firing B though lol
B is a national treasure.
B is My hero 🙌🏿
B is such a good actor goddamn it
That beginning was so incredibly awkward 😂
but thankfully the end was just plain normal xD
Ah yes, B's specialty
B being weird in other videos now 😂 loving the UK content, next time your over would be great to see you do the Beast Wall at Swindon (ideally with Louis and Josh Randle!)
It's crazy how good of a climber emil has become. keep going and hope to see a v17 attempt soon!😁
Too kind! My goals are set to start properly trying a v17 one day, but I have a long ways to go 😅
Emil trying a « very hot » climb then saying « it s not that easy » 🥰
I love the Bobat's awkward style of humor, never fails to make me laugh
God I love anything with B in, he's a gem.
I had the pleasure of visiting the gym last november. It really is worth the trip from the centre of London. Best gym experience i've ever had. Great boulders and great people! Loved the video Emil. You make everything look so easy 😭😉
Delighted that the toilet bit was carried over to your channel lmfao
Great climbs! A brief Jon P appearance, some awkward play and a nice retro use of the word 'tool' 👌
shirt off for extra power! Magnus would be proud
Omar's camera work is AMAZING!
❤
miss your commentary vids :(
B's humor - 5 star rating. The gym, super nice to see they give such a good welcome to average joe clibers, good reviev from the video author.
I've been veen watching your videos for what feels like years now. I am always so shocked at the quality of the content and then I look at the subscribers. You put so much work into these videos you deserve millions more.
Hahahaha loved the revenge 🤣
Lovely video, really made me want to check it out!
Appreciate how you leaned into their humor a bit, nice vid

@@EmilAbrahamssonhave you also been to really hard gyms like Innsbruck? Keep up the amazing videos
@@EmilAbrahamsson it's interesting that you say most of your climbing training are on spray walls or Kilterboards. How come no moonboarding?

8:55 I knew he'd send it as soon as the shirt came off
Tops off for power !
I love the guy at the desk, clearly having no idea what to do but still making it look like he has it 😂
Great video!
Thanks for the in person Beta on the Blue Very hot (skipping the dyno)
I too have reviewed this gym on my channel and have similar thoughts! 😂
Those mats look awfully hard! 😮
Love this Collab. Takes me back to the early Eric/bobat days
That mantle is a banger
Such a sick vid!!
10:58 really made the video for me
Omar is unbelievably funny irl
Yo whered you get that shirt you were wearing, looks dope and love the rock lee on the front
That no-look flipperoo (crimperoo?) at 4:55 was dope
Here for the bits
Spiiicy collab!

I hear it's a style of setting which mostly suits taller climbers though. And don't get me started on the rest of what's wrong with with that place...
You need to visit the Castle… best problems and largest out of any central London gym
Hot is like V7/V8 in my gym 😂 All bangers would love to have session
You’ve gotta climb with Magnus again!
I heckin love B
You should come to the best gym in Louisiana- Uptown climbing of Baton Rouge. Got some tough stuff
Just 10 minutes from Heathrow eh?
Now that changes things!
The castle, mile end or the arcg are my personal favourites in london! ❤
Omar in the background @5:38 :D

I am coming!
One star review. End gag would have been better for you to go to close the door, and have B say "No, leave it open". Okay, 5 stars.
nice
emils tshirt slaps
It seems to be a ton of slabs.
Did anyone else notice Michael Jackson entering? 0:58
Twi flashes on two toilet seats, huhu
Frågar på varje video till du svarar!!!1 Vad är det för märke på byxorna? De ser så sjukt bekväma ut!
Haha ber om ursäkt, missat frågan. Dom är från Uniqlo :-)
that's pretty funny
like for the t-shirt
Hey Emil, Wher is your jacket from which you wear in the intro?
Weekday! Bought it for like 30$ 5 years ago or something, unsure if it’s still being made
Where can I get the hoodie Emil has?
Yon
Jokés cousin
wait so the Bobats own this gym? or was that just for the bit
Haha wow yeah, that employee was so freaking ambivalent that the whole thing was confusing to watch.
whooooosh
Hey Emil, my gf and I were watching your vid and she loved your jacket. Ima try to get her one (or a similar one), what's the brand? Thankies!
Weekday! I really like it, but I’m not sure they still make it
Sandstone climbing at Harrison's Rocks and Bowles Rocks is not so far from London,and far better than indoors.
11:00 is that Toby?
lol fucking love b
Yonder is probably my favourite wall and much closer for me. But Hang is definitely worth the trip on occasion. I'm not naturally a very dynamic climber but Hang incorporate momentum in lots of different guises (not just big dynos), so don't be put off by the comp style setting
What was that start? I rly cant handle it. I dont get it at all haha??
Yeah mate neither could I. He was just supposed to be a nice employee and then just lost it completely I suppose
Its one of the bobats
@@EmilAbrahamsson haha. Nice Video. More hard climbing would be nice :)
Im mean people like to see u, climbers in generell try hard.
Surely only if skin, etc. is fine :)
Why is there almost only straight wall in this gym?
Around a third of the gym is overhang
Rise climbing also has 5 stars!
There is a Nando’s around the corner for anyone the grades make hungry 🙋🏻♂️
are you still in London???
Not anymore, very short and intense trip to the UK. Should probably come back, several collabs with other fun creators that unfortunately haven’t been made still!
@@EmilAbrahamsson Please dooooooo! Much love from a UK fan
Oh my god the beginning was awkward
Mine and B:a friendship has definitely evolved since that scene
Welcome to the B at his finest lol
bruh it was obviously a joke
As a Londoner myself castle is hands down best gym
first
First😊
Close but not cigar! Tight fight 😤
First?
Solid effort, but third. A-tier homie for being this early though
I live in England. What's wrong with the people working here at the climbing gyms? why they always so silly??
"We don't like grades, so here's another grade system" 🫡
My local gym does the same and I don't really mind. Sure I'm curious about grades now and then but I like how it encourages you to try more problems
You're missing the point my dude, it's not about not liking grades. It's about how V grading in a gym is too subjective.... Doesn't make sense to have it indoors
@@xjustn this guy gets it

@@EmilAbrahamsson That was a very interesting take.
This video was very hot.
