    two points id like to make here 1-not only is it 10/10 for the skilful climbing but also 10/10 for the AWESOME camera skills point 2 even my cat loves watching louis

    Epic flash the set challenge. Terrific job Louis and Omar. This just goes to prove that not all climbs will have a route that is easily readable, and you just have to get on and try and figure it out on the wall. Thanks for including that one especially.

    I just wanna say, after a 7-8hr study day for my board exams (Getting my MD certification) watching you climb is some of the most graceful and smooth movements I've ever seen. I aspire to that level of grace while climbing! So relaxing to watch as well! Loving your channel and your vibes man! Keep it up!

    would be great for sets such as that purple at the end that louis ran into issues with but to see the setters climb it how it was intended just for a different view... obviously after we've watched louis struggle, and then work it out! great video and some amazing climbing as always!

    if you want a nice challenge, in Delft (The Netherlands) here we have 174 boulders ranging from 2 to 7c+ and sometimes even some 8a through 8b+ for the Dutch national team te train on. I would love to see you take on all those boulders (maybe skip the first 4 circuits though ;) )

    You can try the board set at Rise in Canning Town. Set by Aidan Roberts and the Wedge crew, so some proper hard climbs. Don't think you'd find the regular set too hard though

    I think that the free solo joke misunderstanding is a cultural one. My compatriots on the Western side of the Atlantic are often under the mistaken impression that if you're English, then English must be your native language. What Americans don't realize is that the English haven't spoken English for centuries--the native language of contemporary England is sarcasm.
