The comp wall (bottom floor) is set to be a lot harder than the top floor. This is intentional on the setters part so don't feel bad about it being so hard. This is also why the whites upstairs are a lot more accessible ! For those who're thinking about visiting I also would recommend trying the lead walls as well. They do not have a huge and magnificent steep wall like Arkose Pantin but setting is top notch and the two roofs are a ton of fun to climb on ! (Especially Lolo's one, what a legend)
Also recommend Arkose Nation (go from 10 to 16 on week days, don't go on the weekends), Climbing District Jaurès and Le Triangle Bercy (where you can find some of my setting please go) as good bouldering gyms. Very different setting philosophies as well so each one is really different from the other !
Lovely video as usual keep it up Josh ! It's always fun to see youtubers on climbs we actually can go and check out
Lolo le roi 🔥🔥
loving this gym review format, also liked it that you went up to locals to ask them about it
I go climbing there about once a month as I live a bit far away. I agree that the gym is great to train movement, especially comp style. It just lacks a bit of boulders and training stuff for outdoors (crimpy boulders, Moon or Kilterboard...). Loved to see you climbing in this gym anyways.
hey josh I ve just climbed a 10b thanks to you, because I m subscribed 😂, it was really nice meeting you !
Just thought I’d mention that if the gym isn’t associated with an actual World Record, you should be cautious of using their logo in the thumbnail. I have heard they can be sticklers about it and your video might get flagged.
Nice to hear from you that some boulders are difficult, I am not the only one thinking that some boulders are sometimes tough!😁
The shirt looks mint and was ordered for Christmas. Happy Climbing!
Thanks so much 😃. Will send it asap and hopefully get to you by Christmas 🎄
Thank you for the video, you are an excellent climber, and there are some amazing climbing gyms around. My aim is to overcome my fear of heights. Climbing has helped me build confidence and last year saw some big changes such as meeting my husband and marrying him. Climbing is for all ages and a great sport. Thank you for sharing.
Shirt design is sick, got one ordered now!
Fun video!❤ Hoped you would do some top rope or lead 😊
Hey Josh, cool video! Have you tried Sharma Climbing Gava just outside of Barcelona, it is over 5000 sq. meters in size, maybe larger than the gym in Aubervillier?
Like the new T-shirts :) also I really liked this gym review video!! Thank you Josh 😊
Yay pleased you like them! Happy they are out in the world 🌍 now. Thank you 🙏😃
I would like to see you trying some hard routes on a gym like that.
Oh ! That's my climbing gym ! Love this place
The purple you were doing at around 11 minutes was set for a competition so harder than usual purples.. nice vid cheers
Yeah, the setting here in Paris is all about body positioning and finding beta, which is fun most of the time, and I guess we've got to train crimps on the fingerboard... Great vid! You should also try Arkose for the vibes, though
Arkose is more old school and has some decent crimps, I would say, WDYT?
@@alexgalays910 yeah, I like Arkose a lot! I think they have a good balance, but it's still way less crimpy than gyms in the US or UK
That spray wall is magnificent
I went to this gym during the summer, although it’s a great place it was actually 40 Celsius inside because of the glass ceiling and it was unbearable for lead climbing.
It was such a surprise to see my climbing coach on your video at 10:27, I really wasn't ready for that haha !!
Also, if you find the spray wall massive, go to Slovenia, in Ljubljana, there are not as much gyms as in Paris but everything is better in settings, grading and the spraywall are worth millions of € of holds. Even in Koper and Bled it's fucking huge. There is not that much spraywall in France because it cost too much and people don't know how to use it. There is not a lot of board too (like Kilterboard or Moonboard). Which is very frustrating.
Also, in Paris, a ton of gyms are sandbagged and doesn't reflect really well the difficulty. I'm from Paris and climb in a lot of gyms but the difference between gradings in each gyms EVEN in the same company (Climbing District, Climb Up, Arkose...) are so, so different...
It's too much about "ego climbing" and grade chasing. Also, a lot of the route settings are way easier than what it should be and very often. And for insurance reason, there is not too muc slabs because you hurt yourself more than doing overhanging routes when you fall right onto the mat.
But besides that, this gym is really huge and no one can enter there without having fun, there is just way too much things to try. I already spent a day from 10am to 10pm climbing there and still wanted to climb because there is too much thing to do.
And I agree that in Paris, crimps are usually in the higher grades and thats bad because you can't train properly on easiest grades (and so you have to fingerboard early in your climbing journey to compensate that).
Anyway, nice video, I was really impatient to see it after the short you posted on ytb !
Nice video!!!
Really enjoyed it!!!
Thank you 🙏
The Shirt is sooo nice
That spray wall is the weirdest wall I've seen.
I like it.
It was weird and beautiful
I can confirm that the downstairs boulders at this gym will slap your ego around
Why do they bind in on the belayloop ?
Yooo that shirt design is sick man!
Thank you 🙏!!
But isnt there the Blockhelden in Erlangen with 5500 square Meters? It opened like 3 Months ago
Blockhelden is only boulder though, no ropes! It is (afaik) the largest bouldering gym in Europe. opened almost two years ago btw! Quite a fun gym, but not my favourite in the area :)
Which is your fave in the area? @@whoputalltheseplantshere
That set looks amazing! Might go do it this week! 😇
Update : I went, they are all gone. New ones are great too though 😁
This gym is MASSIVE woah
It is insane
Shirt looks quality, just ordered
Yay thank you!! Will be with you soon 😃
yo josh, are those the oasis? i kinda wanna get them but i heard the eyelets and the straps wear through quite quickly so i dont know if they are worth the price and i should go for the otakis instead (or maybe another tenaya model?)
what do you think about the durability of the oasis? ( if they even are oasis)
cheers :)
also love the videos of course. keep up the good work ^^
Looks more like the Indalo to me judging by the color scheme.
@@DennisVlaanderen i thought the same but i hoped people would see this and give their advice/ experience
in my opinion the mastias are a lot better
you should maybe consider them as they are very good technically and very comfortable
If it means anything I have the Oasis. I’ve worn the pair for almost three years (indoors but occasionally outside on sandstone) and have had them resoled about 2-3 times. Haven’t had any issues with the straps!
@@spenceringram8104 if i find them in a store i will definitely try them on
Josh, come to Ogikubo in Tokyo and rate B-Pump, here. I suspect a lot of F rating of the boulders from you.
haha I would love to!
Exceptional.
Thank you 🙏
Red is actually harder than purple! they can be haaaard hehe. I agree they're VERY bad at consistent grading; I once saw a blue one harder than a red one hehe.
I know! Haha they definitely felt it
Thx for that video
Thank you for watching 😃
this gym was succulent af
haha succulent indeed
T-shirt artist is the same artist who made Hannah Morris' shirt art?
It is, she is great 👍
Bigger than Pac Pipe? Say it isn't so!
Only thing I got from this video is that you want to spank Magnus
It's okay as long as you spank magnus disguised as magnus disguised as magnus.
Just so you know the last words you say means that "I'm a french girl"
😂😂 for some reason I don’t believe you 😉
@@JoshRundle You have some good French knowledge! Knowing dévers impressed me olala.
