One of the most beautiful routes I've seen here! Such diversity of holds and movements. That move to two-finger ledge at the end of the roof? INSANEEEE!
It's not to hard actually, he has it as a 3 finger pocket, but you can take it as a 4 finger crimp as well. It's pretty big. It's probably harder to get to it than to take the swing.
@@jessevanderheijden5208 Maybe personal grades? I personally always use personal grades. If I'm climbing a 7B and it feels like 7A+, I grade it 7A+. That's the best way to come to an accurate consensus.
There's an alternative ending that goes left after the roof section, which is called "la force" and is graded as a sport route (9a if I remember correctly). Alban Levier looks so strong in this vid : ua-cam.com/video/kpR6lmC8xtk/v-deo.html&feature=emb_logo
Dude that route had some of the most beautiful fucking movements on it. What an amazing looking line and also the choice of holds on that route were awesome. I mean crimps to jugs into sloppy looking jugs into some flake climbing and look like everything in between. Awesome super awesome
2:43 When the terrain gets vertical... my man likes himself a bit of chalk!!! Lol wow never seen someone chalk so much for every move. I'm no V14 climber so what the heck do I know... maybe I should try it! Great send!
It seems like it has many easy moves with a complete no hands rest right before the crux. The hard sections look short and powerful, which I suppose is why it is V14.
OneAndAHalfMan1 locations have a big impact on grading, a v13 in Sweden would be much more like a v10-11 in France or the states, especially in the south
@drew13600 I think the version straight up is called "la force" and its an 8c+. "Quoi de neuf" (going to the right) was according to the man who did the first accent of "la force" an 8c boulder
So whoever this climber is let him know that I'm starting a chalk company and I don't mind if he's my only customer because I think I can make a profit 🤣🤣🤣
Crux at 2:03 is insane. Seriously what is he holding on to? Also, do the French know any other words other than "allez"? It's like they are proving how annoying they can be by only saying the single most obvious word ad naseum.
"Allez", "solide", "encore", "ouais", "à fond", "t'es fort", "c'est bien" were used in this video, I could add some more : "vas-y" "donne tout" "jusqu'au bout" "t'y est presque" "lâche rien" etc. "Allez" is used in a manner that the effect comes from the repetition of it, it's as annoying as the usual "come on !" on other mellow videos. And those guys are belgians by the way.
Legs crossed double kneebar is a thing of beauty
YES
criss cross apple sauce son!
„mec“, the french „dude“, repeated often enough to make this vid mellow certified.
sick boulder!
One of the most beautiful routes I've seen here!
Such diversity of holds and movements.
That move to two-finger ledge at the end of the roof?
INSANEEEE!
It's 3 finger pocket but yes.
My tendon popped by just watching the two finger swing
It's 3 finger pocket but yes.
I didn't know that was physically possible! Stopping a swing on two fingers!! What the heck!
@@TristanCleveland I only just started trying this boulder but it's actually not the hardest Mouv of the problem by a long shot
That cut loose on the three fingers had me screaming here at home! What a bloc! Excellent send!
These are some of the coolest moves I've ever seen on a boulder problem. The aesthetics of the movements are a perfect 10.
Ah yes, another member of the SweatyHandsNeedMoreChalkForTopoutClub
Great climb!
I wonder what temperature it was while he was climbing :P
Got pumped out while holding my phone watching this dude crush it. C’est incroyable!
V14 seems sandbagged, that crux swing off the two finger is insane. The movement on this is really special.
It's not to hard actually, he has it as a 3 finger pocket, but you can take it as a 4 finger crimp as well. It's pretty big. It's probably harder to get to it than to take the swing.
Lol I love that you think you can tell just by looking at a video.

“It’s not hard” - so you’re saying you can climb it?
Dont't know why they claim V14, it has always been a V15...

The number of moves make this seem more ‘sport route’ length than a typical boulder route. Amazing line!

@@geoffroydupless5644 Wow Alban just looked like he was cruising!
I like the helicopter sounds he makes
Un move incroyable après l'autre. Bravo!
The route that made me start climbing ! Just awesome !
Beautiful! What an epic no-hands rest!
i might have just fallen in love with a boulder
One of the most 3D boulders man... This just looks outrageous for a V14 (says V3-5 climber haha). All the respect I am kneeling man
My favorite boulder in the world (to watch)
the crux looks disgusting.
yeah, how the absolute fuck did he catch that swing? so mega
@drew13600 It's 3 finger pocket but yes.
I'm I the only one not knowing when was the crux? kkk
I mean, take a wild guess. I think it's reasonably clear. Read the other comments.
Who else yelled "whaaaat?" out loud at 2:03?
I just frowned really hard and whispered, "No."
@alex S Who didn't? :o
Me!
Holy guacamoly! holding that pocket like it's a mega jug :o
It's a mega jug
@@rochoddo5380 Just really tiny

Most insane boulder I've ever seen. Simon is huge for such a huge boulder.
dope tree finger ape swing
Magnifique send ! Le crux absolument infame du Toit d'Orsay... J'ai mal aux doigts rien que le regardant se balancer sur ce bi-doigts
INCREDIBLE
Cool climb. That was a sick double kneebar.
2:43 When the terrain gets vertical... my man likes himself a bit of chalk!!! Lol wow never seen someone chalk so much for every move. I'm no V14 climber so what the heck do I know... maybe I should try it! Great send!
It looks like it was really warm. Sometimes the sweat just pours into your palms.
Bravo 👏🏼
I love all these young Belgian powerhouses crushing these days!
Daym homeboy with the pocket swing at 2:04
Awesome!
Hoooly shit. This was outstandingly impressive
Nuts how insanely big that last sequence is
amazing climbing
One of the most impressive climb I have seen. It looks more than 8b+!
It seems like it has many easy moves with a complete no hands rest right before the crux. The hard sections look short and powerful, which I suppose is why it is V14.
I just watched an older video on eric karlsons bouldering channel where he aparently climed a V13 and this looks way harder in my opinion...
OneAndAHalfMan1 locations have a big impact on grading, a v13 in Sweden would be much more like a v10-11 in France or the states, especially in the south
Gnarrrllyyyyy
that looks way more than v14 maybe v15 tho , super nice boulder ! and quite strong tho , and that resting position just amazing
Such an awesome problem
ALWAYS chalk your bangs if possible. Pro beta for big sends. You're welcome
Jesus... I'm kinda speechless.
omg that move before the lip! the gaston to feet cut lol what!?
Coolest move ever - 1:10
Sick!
They should name that Crux "Pop a pulley" 😰😰😰
the move at 2:00 is mad :o
When was it downgraded?
The 8c+ is going out on the left side of the boulder
The 8b+ top out is really easier than the 8c+ that adds another 7c with a low percentage move right at the end
Jesus the last half looks hard af
It's amazing how unusable several of those crimps would be if there weren't bomber heeltoe cams.
A while back this boulder was an 8c but (not understandable) it seems to be downgraded in the meantime
@drew13600 I think the version straight up is called "la force" and its an 8c+. "Quoi de neuf" (going to the right) was according to the man who did the first accent of "la force" an 8c boulder
Here I am waiting till my pinkey recovers from pulley injury and this madlad is using that pocket as a jug...
Check La Force, Alban Levier
So fucking strong!!
Just when you thought he's passed the crux, he threw to a 3f pocket and caught it, swing and all.
Sick
Jesus Christ almighty.... Bravo friend
2:04 my wrists exploded
So whoever this climber is let him know that I'm starting a chalk company and I don't mind if he's my only customer because I think I can make a profit 🤣🤣🤣
1:07 God mode kneebar position
damn this looks harder than V14
What in lizard fucking CHRIST did he eat.. to pull off a McTwisty mid-rock?
This had it all O_O
He chalks like a route climber 😂
This guy loves him some chalk
Com'on belgium🇧🇪🇧🇪
hahaha the "spotter" is looking a bit lost...
this looks pretty easy if u watch it upside down
cool read spiderman
牛逼
Motorboat
Sick! First
Yep, that looks proper 8B+. Good to see. And Bleausards say NON to kneebar pads. Respect!
haha climber go brrrr
Crux at 2:03 is insane. Seriously what is he holding on to?
Also, do the French know any other words other than "allez"? It's like they are proving how annoying they can be by only saying the single most obvious word ad naseum.
"Allez", "solide", "encore", "ouais", "à fond", "t'es fort", "c'est bien" were used in this video,
I could add some more : "vas-y" "donne tout" "jusqu'au bout" "t'y est presque" "lâche rien" etc.
"Allez" is used in a manner that the effect comes from the repetition of it, it's as annoying as the usual "come on !" on other mellow videos. And those guys are belgians by the way.
So funny to read that comment and realise that now, the encouraging word "allez" spread out to other nations in climbing 😂 you must be very pissed off
That two fingers swing is so heinous it tore my pulley just watching it.
three fingers
Ppprrrrrrrr
Great climbing, amazing boulder! Truly annoying audio - please, if you are on camera duty _please_ don't talk.
It's amazing how unusable several of those crimps would be if there weren't bomber heeltoe cams.
Sick.
