  • After one year, Kajsa Is back! The entire crew have been waiting for her arrival after the injuries, so we figured the best way to celebrate this was to create a lead video.
    Kajsa chooses a route that scares her and she wanted to give it her best try, hope you like the video!

    This was one of my favorite episodes yet. Not because I like lead climbing so much but because of the story telling and raw emotion. You can’t force this but when it does happen it’s really special. Great work and happy for Kajsa :)

    Absolutely loved this style of episode dudes, even having a story arc of kajsa battling with herself and the redemption of committing to the move, it's like a new level for the vids and I've watched every one since you started !!!! First time I felt compelled to comment to let you know but I loved this video.

    Wow, really great lead climbing footage: you always hit the angles and the zoom factor just right. Happy to have Kajsa back ;-)

  • @brynzeman-witzel4348
    @brynzeman-witzel4348 5 років тому

    I found this video super inspirational, I really struggle when climbing on lead and am often even afraid even when I am climbing a route that I would normally warm up on (several grades under my red point), it really helps to see such a crusher like Kajsa with the same struggles as I have to overcome her fears

    Think Kajsa might need some of Thor's war cry training!
    Mute the camera in the spider crane thing next time during the epic climbing as it sounded like an air raid siren! :)

  • @Thrusthamster
    @Thrusthamster 5 років тому +6

    It's funny, this is exactly like my problem. I take way longer and objectively scarier falls when I boulder both indoors and outdoors, but put me on a rope and I'm shaking like a leaf. Doesn't matter how long I've been climbing either, now been doing it for 2.5 years and it's still scary as fuck. That's the way it is for me I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    • @michalifabian9646
      @michalifabian9646 5 років тому +2

      Ha ha, I'm the exact opposite! I have no fear whatsoever when lead climbing but even doing a V2 I'll start shaking when I get a little high, that's why I hardly boulder..

  • @killercamps
    @killercamps 5 років тому +147

    PLEASE, MORE LEAD CLIMBING!!! Where I'm from my gym does not have a very big bouldering section and it is nice to see indoor lead climbing apposed to outdoor because not everyone gets the opportunity to go outside and can only climb indoors. Love the vids guys and wish I could climb in such an awesome gym like yours!!

    • @EricKarlsson
      @EricKarlsson  5 років тому +8

  • @climbinggymnetwork1019
    @climbinggymnetwork1019 5 років тому +3

    I can really relate. I've had acrophobia since I was very young. I did bouldering for years, and still wasn't over it. Once I started climbing with auto-belays on a 32 feet wall I finally started feeling comfortable with the height, and that ended up making a huge difference in my bouldering. I didn't realize until the fear was gone how much it was holding me back even just a few feet off the ground and indoors.

  • @danielsprague2652

  • @liamo1555
    @liamo1555 5 років тому +23

    Eric! The emotional tone and narrative of this video really comes to life with your shot pacing and music selection, I really love this one. Would love to see you guys do more lead climbing vids as well. Now excuse me, I think I'm going to go climbing

    Such a cool way to film the climb. Never really seen lead from that kinda perspective before. Always thought they should cover lead world cups with techno crains

    I was thinking just the other day that it would be nice to see more of Kajsa on your channel. And baam there she is. How did that happen I don't know, but cannot complain really, good video. And generally I like lead climbing videos you've done recently, but just as much I enjoy bouldering and brushing Tor and stuff. So yea just keep it all coming for sure!

  • @MrHenne826

  • @melissaxthai
    @melissaxthai 5 років тому +3

    One of favorite episodes because I can relate so well. Lead climbing requires such strong mental game, something that I work on every time I do routes, and it's nice to see a professional climber like Kajsa faces the same fears that the rest of us face.

  • @laclimber3892
    @laclimber3892 5 років тому +3

    So good! Being a woman I really appreciate when you have ladies in the videos! You guys are great in all but I can learn more from watching them. Kajsa is such a beautiful powerful climber! I’m working on healing a shoulder injury so this is encouraging 💕

  • @mountbeckworth1
    @mountbeckworth1 3 роки тому

    Look, each climber has their own story, and as a climber I don't want to criticize a fellow climber. But I think there is a difference in the fear factor between a gym fall, with zero chance of injury, and a runout 4 metres above a manky cam placement because you need to keep the number 2 camalot for further up the climb. Its like Juventus claiming "No Fear"; what do soccer players fear? Losing their Nike sponsorship? Fear is knowing you could end up in a spinal ward in the next 10 seconds, but still choosing the right gear, choosing not to grab the quickdraw, controlling the panic.

It feels so genuine to watch Kajsa openly and honestly work through her fears. It's a struggle almost all of us can personally relate to. Thanks for creating and sharing this awesome content!
