I've been a fan of both of them for a while, but I'm more biased towards Ashima. It's nice seeing the wide range of styles that women can climb with these two. Alex is very strong and you can tell that's the driving point of her climbing, which is why I'm not surprised she flashed the men's problem. Men tend to rely more on strength and dynamic movement, generally. So those types of problems are made for her. Ashima, though she's super built now, has always had to be more creative on technique because of how short and small she is, and before didn't have those back and arm muscles she has now. It is cool seeing her figure out her own, more unconventional ways of working problems. Thanks for the video.
+sarina p (NerdtasticLove) Thank you for the message. I am pleased that you enjoyed it. Since Ashima climbs in my gym I am very fond of the girl and her technical ways but Alex is just solid and a pleasure to watch . Looking forward to watching their progress over the next few years and fingers crossed we will see them both in the 2020 Olympics.
I'm a fan of both but I just love watching Alex climb... she is just so strong and it's amazing to see her push the boundaries of whats possible. Ashima has amazing technique but in my opinion watching Alex chalk up while doing a one arm lock off is way cooler. Plus Puccio crushes way harder outdoors.
Looking at these two girls I think it only shows that you don't need bulky build in order to be strong or a good athlete, you just work with what you have (and sometimes it's called flexibility :P)
there is no way. puccio is just built stocky, and her muscles will develop that way. asian bodies are different, and A's body type will develop differently muscle, more lean. There is more to climbing than muscle mass.
I've only been climbing for like, a second, and I've been watching a lot of videos of women climbing and sometimes the comments are really sexist. Like, damn, can't some people just chill and appreciate the skill and athleticism these women have without making it sexual?
Why does the crowd scream on every move? As a climber, I find that really distracting and annyoing.. They even yell when brushing the holds! Couldn't bare to watch this with sounds..
Sorry i didn't want to sound unappreciative,wasn't your fault that some of the crowd was being very enthusiastic, I still watched complete video just has to turn volume down quite a bit, Keep up the good work as i enjoy watching climbing videos being a keen climber myself, Thanks
What is with all the "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO"ing from the crowd? It does my head in!! What's wrong with a clap, even a "Well done mate" if they've done well, but the constant high pitched WOO's are fecking annoying! Is it just an American thing?
+Alex Bush This is a music recital of kids in a children's party. These are people in an extreme sports activity. You should try bouldering and compete with the best of the best in the world. You'll know the feeling that a 'well done mate' never works. cheers mate! :)
Graham Kolb Yeah, I met him after he gave a talk in London. I'm a passionate climber and have been to comps in the past (in the UK). I was just making a point that you can show support and give encouragement without the constant high pitched wooo's.
First video ever! I was just doing this for a bit of fun and never expected such an audience. If I ever do another recording i'll get it up to speed for sure.

Loved this, especially the contrast between Puccio's strength & explosiveness vs Shiraishi's stillness & grace.
This was a super interesting comparison of two of the best women in competition climbing
+Oren Rosenberg and a big turning point for an awesome climbing gym, really brought the climbing crew together.
Oren Rosenberg lol ashima isn't even a women but she's great😂😂😂
Low budget video - all you need. Great work!
Haha the best description you had for Ashima was "local girl"?
NYC climber and climbing celeb - the girl has some serious skills +smithbrianr387
that made me laugh as well... Ashima is just really famous since few years in the climbing world
+soundzvibe She is indeed blowing up. Don't forget she has been climbing since the age of 6 . I will catch up with her, it just might take a while :/
+ratatouillez she is local as in lives in New York and was competing in her local gym, friend.
I love this video. You need to post more!
I wish I had even a tenth of Ashima's skill and flexibility, truly amazing climber to watch.
+Rasmus Nielsen Me too brother, me too.
ashimas style is so much better

hahaha sorry for the delay. Loved this! Yeah I agree Puccio is pretty bad ass.

lmao double take ... that little girl is ript .. when she's 20 she will look just like puccio
+chinitatuntu hear hear my friend
+Anthony Waller I wouldn't mess with her - wait till she starts getting down those protein shakes.
there is no way. puccio is just built stocky, and her muscles will develop that way. asian bodies are different, and A's body type will develop differently muscle, more lean. There is more to climbing than muscle mass.
Nice video man!
Cheers chap. I'll a new one up asap. Keep on climbing brother +Vegan Rockclimbing
+Oliver Medcalf I will! Keep up the good work man, can't wait to see the next one :)
Awesome win at my home gym!

+Psychid5 They were yelling during the brushing because the guys were climbing at the same time.
Do you want to say 'Japan supports climbing for 2020 Olympic' with this video title?
If so, ’日本がクライミングを2020年オリンピック競技に推薦’ would be more accurate.
Thanks for that, it is very much appreciated. I hope you enjoyed the recording.
It's funny to see how different their technics are
Would of enjoyed this even more if there was less screaming girls,had to turn the volume down after a while
+summittodo Not bad for a 1st time user of imovie user;). I should have adjusted the volume you are right. Appreciate the feedback.

Amazing talent!
Does anyone have full footage of Alex flashing the men's boulder?
I was surprised as most so possibly not - superwoman moves came out of nowhere. I will let you know if I get my hands on it. +KilterClimbingGrips
two amazing climbers. wow!
Alex is stupidly ripped
Fantastic amazing these girls.
Does Alex gets her muscles just by climbing or weigh-lifting too?
+DNV J ua-cam.com/video/1p86RxBqAfo/v-deo.html
Ashima is actually younger then Alex Puccio I think so yah
I love it
puccio chick is buff. I'm ashamed of myself lol her grip looks beasty
"Local Girl"
She is. She lives in NY.
Clarence Choo I mean I never said it was wrong, its just a vague description given to a famous world class climber
*shrug*
How do they do that upside down?
Terri Turner strength and grip and alot of technique
I wish I could climb at that level
puccio doesn't have a bum. just pure muscle from to to top. amazing
Кто навешивает такие трассы? Это же гениально!
It's like a female version of Ondra v. Sharma
No. It's not.
azhima aku ajari domg caranya kamu pamjat keren banget tau
really is power vs finesse
Such an interesting comparison between the two :)

+Alex Bush its called cheering....

+Alex Bush This isn't a golf match, it's an adrenaline filled tryhard use of your body. Ever heard Adam Ondra??

Wowie
wow alex puccio is yoked
480p really

She's pretty hot for a girl that can do one arm pullups
