I like how this guy just casually makes climbing videos that aren’t just some crazy athletes doing insane things, but Shawn actually breaking down the beta of one of the worlds hardest boulders. Great stuff mate
When I first started watching climbing vids there was just that one video of Nalle sending and the comments were like, "That doesn't look hard. What's the deal?"
@@TristanCleveland Yup, I remember that as well. Most of those people were not that aware of Nalle's level and the fact that it took him multiple years to send it. Now we for sure have more perspective to it 😅
So unbelievable to see how calm and collected he is while projecting the hardest boulder in the world. Great example for staying humble and stoked no matter what level you are working toward.
I feel like itd be fascinating to have Shawn do an explaining bouldering at 5 levels with Wired. All these videos feel so accesible/understandable even if you're just getting into climbing.
It’s always different when you see those boulders in real life. I’ve touched the holds of Bügeleisen (8C+) (ua-cam.com/video/VVv1fazTRN8/v-deo.html) and it’s really mind boggling that any human being could hold on to them and do the moves.
Nalle, Will&Aidan seem also always very positive and just enjoying their climbing. I guess, they all work with the same, very open and very positive mindset.
Every time I watch you it’s such a huge reminder to always be calm and be positive during a climbing session. Loved seeing the breakdown too. Always a great example of how to be
I love how chilled you are. I'd got mad if I'd fallen on the last move of my project, and here you are, dropping last move on the one of the hardest boulders on the world with just "oh noooo" as a reaction. Golden.
*me wearing shoe sizes 4 times to small and power screams just to send a v4* *Shawn on a v17* "We are just gonna start at the bottom and go to the top"
It’s honestly quite inspirational. Or on a recent climbing daily video, Ryuchi Murai repeats his v16 Floatin, and his attitude is just so happy and chill. Makes me really re-think my attitude to my limit (read: v5) projects, and makes me believe I can climb way harder than I think right now.
Every time I think about being upset on a fall, I just think about your attitude towards climbing and it makes me relax so quickly!! You are truly inspiring with your climbing!
I know you get so many comments that its hard to read them and everything but I wanted to let you know that Shawn your a huge inspiration to me I am only 13 and I’ve been climbing for about 3 years I look up to you so much I want to be like you when I grow up send V15, 16, 17 and push bouldering to its limits just like you have your my hero Shawn I just want to tell you this because of how much your climbing and the awesome stuff you do Impacts me as what I could say a young individual thank you Shawn so much 🤘🙏
"TO BE CONTINUED" ... does that mean you've done it, and are teasing us with this first? I reckon Shawn has done it, but is waiting for Will's video to drop before sharing his.
This is the second time we've seen him fall on the final move (and being really close both times too). So I'd be shocked if he doesn't end up sending it, or already has
Given the way Stefano refers to Shawn on his recent video (ua-cam.com/video/pueQ64bcjpc/v-deo.html), I reckon Shawn's done it, and Stefano nearly let the cat out of the bag.
I remember my first V17 like it was yesterday. It was December and there was 3 ft of snow covering the route. I had to bring a brush up with me as I was climbing to brush the snow off the holds because it was a relentless snowstorm. It was also -50°F and I had frostbite on all my finger and toes. I crimped so hard on the crux that I broke off my pinky finger which was frozen solid. It’s great to see the younger generation being able to do what I was able when I was only 8 y/o. Maybe someday you could be even half of what I was if you try hard enough! But remember hard work pays more than talent. If you need any advice please feel free to message me. I’ll have my secretary give you my number. I’ll be in the Atlantis attempting the first V21
Raging because you don't make your project is the biggest copium in climbing. And for most of us it just means that we can try again next session or if we are unlucky, it will be dismounted before we get another chance. But this guy took a damn travel exclusively for this and gets so close, still keeping his cool and react so productive and non-toxic to the reality that he won't get to touch the top. And he is going home as a better climber. Shawn is giving us so much to learn from. I will try to apply this to my training. Thank you and keep doing your thing man!
Impressive to see Shawn about to win the battle against burden of dream ! No doubt he will be the next to triumph over this legendary block! Videos of such quality are rare, those if are just exceptional.
Probably the most renowned boulder problem in the last year. Thanks for the detailed explanation of the sections. Even though most of us will never reach such level in climbing, I'm sure we can learn a few things from this video.
Wow. We are in such an exciting time for climbing! Being able to see live footage of Will project burden, and getting updates from shawn and stefano is so sick!!!
Shawn is so awesome!!! I like how you explain clearly the beta and details, instead of just posting a sent video (I'm sure you will send it). I wish more people do the same to help other climbers to learn, instead of just posting sent videos without further explanations. This is because there are many small details like how to grasp better the hold, little adjustments that may not be noticeable in a video.
I appreciate how Shawn breaks down his climbs. Even though he's climbing grades that are way beyond what I can do, it lets me see into his thinking processes and micro beta breakdowns. As always, 🔥 climbing videos coming from you 🙌🏼
Your chill attitude is just so relaxing and perfectly fits the vibe of climbing videos! Also, as a former Skateboarder, the style of your videos and the mellow crew remind me a lot about some skate clips :)
Love the video man! I literally wait every week for a new video of you guys, Shawn and bobby. And I also think I do watch at least one video every week of this channel, it got me inspired into climbing, i started watching the videos when you just uploaded like 3 of them, and ever since them I got really hooked with the style of footage you do in the videos Ñ, and the way Shawn climbs… it’s looks so unreal, chill and mellow like with no pressure, just truly enjoying the moment and the rock, it’s really motivating for the viewers, or at least to me haha. Just wanted to say that, keep pushing guys and keep the hard work going ❤🫡💪
Can’t wait till we find out he did It 2 months ago, 6 months from now.
I think if anything, he's waiting for will's video to come out
@@kal2enn yeah 100% has to be the case.
My question is, when will Wil post
@@enriqueaguas8878 Think he said it would be sometime in early June
@@kal2enn maybe mellow will post both sends in the same vid
This guy always has a slight smile, always seems unruffled and chilled out and it’s pretty contagious… going to be so satisfying to see him send it.
Whenever I see him and hear him talk I always think he's stoned. I mean this in the nicest way possible. Super cool dude apparently.
cringe
At 0:18 I was like 50/50 whether he's just trolling all of the global climbing community to the max and just sends it
I thought the same thing
Definitely thought he was mashing it first thing before video even starts then he's one move away. Made the first move look so good, too!
same! and that would have been actually amazing. :D
I’m borderline think he’s already sent it and it just not telling 😂
Totally expected this video to be exactly that 😅 he knows how to keep the community on their toes
I like how this guy just casually makes climbing videos that aren’t just some crazy athletes doing insane things, but Shawn actually breaking down the beta of one of the worlds hardest boulders. Great stuff mate
It's amazing how many minutes of great content the climing community has gotten out of this single rock. Always interesting!

@@janihal A lot people also just had no idea what they were talking about 😆
@@TristanCleveland well this is true, but it doesn't stop them from commenting 😂
So unbelievable to see how calm and collected he is while projecting the hardest boulder in the world. Great example for staying humble and stoked no matter what level you are working toward.
its a rock bro calm down
Shaun breaks down a V17 like i do for a V5
So I start at this jug, then move to the next ju... oh wait, that's a ladder
Don't tell me, life is so sad. These elite climbers pull hard like hell and they never get injured. They must have vibranium in the bones.
...and like I do for v10. It's awesome, because seeing how he "sees" the problem, improves how I see my own projects. Loving the detail!
@@craigmalik6061 yeah im not complaining its so sick
Lmao first of all it's Shawn and second of all nah nah nah you don't do anything like him at all 😂😂 not even at v5
I feel like itd be fascinating to have Shawn do an explaining bouldering at 5 levels with Wired. All these videos feel so accesible/understandable even if you're just getting into climbing.
So sick to see some of the micro-beta explained, filmed, and edited so concisely. So relatable regardless of grade.
It’s always different when you see those boulders in real life. I’ve touched the holds of Bügeleisen (8C+) (ua-cam.com/video/VVv1fazTRN8/v-deo.html) and it’s really mind boggling that any human being could hold on to them and do the moves.
@@Mike-oz4cvThis one is quite the opposite... These holds feel quite big and positive and it doesn't seem so hard at first...
The positive mindset is what sets Shawn apart from every other boulderer out there, so nice to see
Nalle, Will&Aidan seem also always very positive and just enjoying their climbing. I guess, they all work with the same, very open and very positive mindset.
@@ursusbachthaler566 seems more like a trend to me at the top level of climbing
@@ursusbachthaler566 Literally, Will never stops smiling
Such a sick video idea. I could watch a playlist of hard boulders being broken down like this for hours on end
Same. Easily. ^^
Every time I watch you it’s such a huge reminder to always be calm and be positive during a climbing session. Loved seeing the breakdown too. Always a great example of how to be
I love how chilled you are. I'd got mad if I'd fallen on the last move of my project, and here you are, dropping last move on the one of the hardest boulders on the world with just "oh noooo" as a reaction. Golden.
Shawn does that first move with such controlled power it’s so beautiful to watch

'to be continued' Oh yeah baby! So pleased Will and Shawn have both sent this climb, drop send videos on the same day...? congrats!
Will is releasing it on Tuesday 06.06 19:00 British Summer Time

Shawn explaining like anyone watching is ever going to be able to do a move
😂
I mean there could always be a few pros watching xD
watching parts of the process being explained in a vid like this is so satisfying. Also very relaxing, could listen to Shawn explaining things all day

The boulder that just keeps on giving
I really like his style and mentality while climbing, super calm and chill while still climbing crazy hard boulders
He's so mellow
@@decadeca starting to think mellow is code for something else.
I love the hype this single boulder has garnered recently
I’m super impressed by how calm Sean was after that foot slip! I probably would’ve drop kicked the fan haha.
Same lol
I can not even imagine holding in that holds. Truly incredible.
I remember my first V17 like it was yesterday. It was December and there was 3 ft of snow covering the route.

I just simply get happier when Shawn uploads a video. Time to relax and enjoy
Odds he sent it a bit after Will but out of respect is letting Will get his footy out first 😅

Climbing video of the year right here. No need for a send, the process is already fantastic to witness.
I love the breakdown, it’s so interesting to see the miniscule changes that make a difference at this level of bouldering
Ya know, I really appreciate the showcase of multiple grip options. Really opens this problem up for the average viewer :D
Now two months away from climbing due to ankle injury, watching your videos maintains the psych high, thanks for that! Can't wait to get back to this.
Impressive to see Shawn about to win the battle against burden of dream !
No doubt he will be the next to triumph over this legendary block!
Videos of such quality are rare, those if are just exceptional.
Just woke up from a coma. Excited to see someone finally repeat this. Good luck.
Probably the most renowned boulder problem in the last year. Thanks for the detailed explanation of the sections. Even though most of us will never reach such level in climbing, I'm sure we can learn a few things from this video.
Shawn explaining body position and grip like he’s teaching us how to send this 😂 love the video
so insanely cool seeing something so hard be so dialed in, looks effortless
Simply love the way you climb. So elegant and delicate.
I love these videos sooo much. Every time one is posted, I get incredibly hyped
So cool to see such a descriptive breakdown of a high level boulder problem!
This is such a sick boulder. All the hype around it is amazing and deserved
it‘s so cool that so many people are trying Burden of Dreams. Such a sick boulder!
It is so nice to see that you are one of the best climbers in the world, this without a great fame as others. Just climb on your own and having fun.
Wow. We are in such an exciting time for climbing! Being able to see live footage of Will project burden, and getting updates from shawn and stefano is so sick!!!
This is super interesting. I would love to see more of these.
The moment where he swipes the right hand finger with the left hand one is just pure gold 🤯
What a time to be alive and watch the best try hard and have a good time
Looking forward to the send and future projs!
Such a sick climb. I love the way how Shawn breaks down the boulder like it isn't that hard
Shawn is a simple positive guy who will crush my v3 project and ill be happy to see it
Dude looks more solid than anyone else on the first move. Also the rock looks so cool in the up close shots, the lichen patterns are sick
That was close dang. Always impressed by the mental fortitude
Your efficiency of your footwork is criminal, cant wait to see the send vid!
What a legend comes so close to sending burden and doesn't even seem mad aboht the foot slip. Love you man, would love to climb with you one day
it's really impressive to see how precise you need to be on every single moves to send it. You are very close, let's go Shawn !
the way you talk about it makes it seem possible. love these. keep this shit up
So cool to see the breakdown. Every move is so precise
Whenever I watch these breakdowns I get super hyped and head straight to the gym where I fail miserably at V5‘s!
It is amazing how intricate Shawn's knowledge is of the beta.
his attitude is always so nice, he's always positive and happy i'd say, such a nice vibe to be climbing with :-)
Shawn is so awesome!!!
I like how you explain clearly the beta and details, instead of just posting a sent video (I'm sure you will send it).
I wish more people do the same to help other climbers to learn, instead of just posting sent videos without further explanations.
This is because there are many small details like how to grasp better the hold, little adjustments that may not be noticeable in a video.
This man is so chill, what a champ
Just got into climbing last year and you're one of my favorite people to watch!
I love videos like this. Love to see how a beast of a climber breaks down really hard moves. Hope to be at this level one day
I feel obliged to share that I myself did indeed thoroughly enjoy this impeccable bit of content!!
I appreciate how Shawn breaks down his climbs. Even though he's climbing grades that are way beyond what I can do, it lets me see into his thinking processes and micro beta breakdowns. As always, 🔥 climbing videos coming from you 🙌🏼
Your chill attitude is just so relaxing and perfectly fits the vibe of climbing videos! Also, as a former Skateboarder, the style of your videos and the mellow crew remind me a lot about some skate clips :)
Wow!! I like how he enjoy climbing and the reflexions he do to get the climb.
Awesome to see how much fun one big block of rock can be.
Coming home from a sess, a new video from Shawn, perfect
Not me listening to Shawn explaining Burden’s breakdown in great detail and taking notes full well knowing I’m not climbing V17 in my lifetime
It is really motivating seeing Shawn's patience and persistance!! It gives me new motivation to try "hopeless" projects :)! Nice instincts btw :))
So close yet so far away. Keep it strong Shawn💪🏼
Can’t believe how hard this boulder is. Hope you send it Shawn!!
Loved the beta breakdown. Awesome to hear your strategies and openness to different betas
What a great breakdown! He's got it so dialed. Can't wait to hear when he's sent it - I bet it's soon!
It's amazing how chill you are on a V17, truly mesmerising to watch ! Keep it up, the send is close !
The pure determination over months of attempts is fukn inspiring no two ways abt it. 💪
That first try was so smooth. I wonder how many tries you've had before. Very cool in-depth breakdown, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
So powerful and good foot technique! It is so nice to watch you climb
This boulder is a thing of beauty.
Shawn always being a goat and so chill about it.
What a great video. Shawn is such a talented climber, and really smart.
Love the way he is explaining his beta like it’s not the hardest Boulder problem in the world. 😂😂 only love Shawn
Awesome content! I always love to see how much you enjoy the whole process of completing various boulder problems.
what an amazing breakfown and super flowy movements 🤩
Insane to see how much detail goes into a climb like this!! Keep up the great content!!
Such an inspiration to see you climb! Keep it up GOAT!

The general simplicity of the line is so nice. Hoping to see the ascent soon.
Keep up the good work! Amazing work as always I just love how easy you break things down
Here because im broke and have holes in my shamans😢 super excited to have seen wills progress and send hope to see more from the bouldering legend!!
This is amazing how you analyse your project and consider how to use each finger every time. Sick! Amazing to watch this edit
Chillest breakdown, can’t wait for the sending edit
Love your mindfulness and sprightly spirit!
Amazing as always. I feel that I learn so much from these videos!
Shawn your literally so sick! I love watching you videos and seeing you do this crazy stuff. It motivates me so much!
