Would love to see you do a challenge video with Magnus. That would be epic.
Up to that 🤞
One of the current very best in the world, against someone who's been retired for six years? Where's the challenge?
stop hating bro@@boogaloo4640
@@boogaloo4640 you can call it collab if it bothers you less. It would be fun to watch a video with both of them
One idea is adding an article of clothing every time you fail a climb. Could be a sweater, shorts, hats, you just have to keep stacking clothes which make the next routes harder and harder until you finally can't move anymore 😂
I love the idea, sounds super fun!
+
And why not remove clothes instead of adding? 😳😂
GLOVES! add layers of gloves. Eg crsck, biking, winter, cooking mitts etc 😂😂
Strip Add-On is definitely going on my to-do list next time I'm out with the boys.
I love seeing Stefano climbing in a gym. The indoor setting makes it easier for us mortals to understand how easily he's crushing every route.
I love this kind of videos with lots of climbing!
They are a great opportunity to learn some technique and problem solving skills.
Only I would much rather watch a longer video with all climbs in full screen than having the split screen with 4 climbs and having to rewind to see every climb... So many climbing youtubers do that, and I personally hate it as a user.
Thank you for the great content!
Yeah if anything, slightly speed up the boring bits if needed but the 4 small screens doesn't make sense to me. Rest was great though.
I hate that as well but Stefano didn't do that in his video though
@@henning_jasper He did it once, but I think they just did that because these boulders were maybe not so interesting ...
same yes, and maybe as youtuber add timestamps for the different difficulties so people can skip the bits you'd think they would find boring
@@rookjameson nope, the blue and pink v7s are some of the coolest boulders in the gym, imo (this is my local gym)
I saw they had a Kilter Board there! You could do like 200 V-point challenge or something like that. Or maybe 100 V-points of V10 and above?! Love all these fun challenge videos you have been posting! Super fun :D
This would be awesome
super cool idea
200 points in the least amount of boulders would be cool
@@loganhaddox6808 love this idea
i did 149 v points in a single sesion i think thats the most ive done
I was like „aight“ and then you did them in one set😂
It's always so funny to see someone like Stefano who has absolute monster levels of endurance just chilling on the boulders when he's not sure with what foot to go. Also humbling as all hell.
Jesus the stamina on this guy during the V10s after flashing all the others first no less; great camerawork too.
Challenge proposal: You have to do 200 Pull- Ups. For every flashed Boulder, the V-Grade is subtracted from your Pull- Up Number. So flashing 20 V10's means no Pull- Ups. Every Boulder has to be attempted 3 times in total if you're not successful. For every fall you get +5 Pull- Ups added.
I love it that at 8:30 you can here someone saying “That guy’s pretty good”
You're doing fine job on CZcams, don't have to stress so much on what we would like to see. Just do what you love (:
Amazing effort to do that last slopey V10 boulder second go. Really nice challenge and video. Would have liked to see you give the V11 another go also.
Your fitness level compared to anyone I have climbed with in person is so incomparable its insane.
Definitely visit Magnus’ gym in Norway! They always seem to have lots of hard problems so will be very interesting to see you complete them too!
Imagine going for a random afternoon boulder session and bumping into one of the best climbers in the world 😂
My buddy and I do “big wall challenges” at our gym, where we both try to lead 20-25 routes in a session. It’s honestly a blast and an indoor adventure in its own right!
Also please come Spire Climbing in Bozeman, MT!
Challenge idea: How many V points can you get in one hour? There is also tactics involved, like easier grades and less rest or harder boulders and fewer of them ^°
its so clear you care a lot about the quality of your videos, it means a lot and makes the videos much more enjoyable to watch. THANK YOU!
Crazy to see you Stefano in my local gym. Hope you enjoyed your US trip!
this is the new gym in S.F. right? I just moved to nc but I need to go when I get back
@@andrewpeterson3065 it's in Oakland. Pacific Pipe.
Welcome to Oakland!!!!
Loved the jazz fusion on the intro!
Love to see more videos from you Stefano! For ideas, if it's in a commercial gym, I would like to see some spray wall and how you make your own boulders. Otherwise I'd love to see more outdoor bouldering, even at lower level than your max!
thank you for adding those nice encounters, very entertaining video
I wish I could have such powerful boulders set at my gym! I swear everything has a bullshit low % dyno thrown in at my gym… feels like I’m trying to complete a damn ninja warrior course half the time 😵💫
I love this jazzy lounge music in the background. I am not entirely sure if its for fun or not, but it makes the whole video atleast 20% more classy.
Really interesting watching guys this good on regular gym problems. I'm like a V6-7 climber and learned so much just watching Stefano on those grades. Obviously ungodly strength, but also how that strength translates to efficient footwork, timing, pulling angles, etc.. Picked up a few things I'm going to keep in mind.
Good video! It’s a great idea to go on new gyms and try to flash all hard boulders :) Good work
great challenge! I like this format
i will never get tired of Stefano trying to flash different gyms
Love your content! Keep it up!
The setting there looks awesome.
I love this Flash or Die episode!
Incredible video, Stefano! Where do you find such endurance, man? That's unbelievable. Huge respect. :)
Thanks for the fun challenge! Few ideas for the next one:
-Comparing you to good local climbers, so we can picture how hard what you're achieving is
-Making the penalty impact the challenge itself, so it is more about how far you can go, rather than having a punishment at the end.
-Making the penalty related to the climbing itself. For ex: every time you fail to flash a boulder, you have to climb an easier one but with a penalty (like some fingers forbidden, no shoes, one leg, ...)
I feel like in your recent videos it has been mostly solo climbing 9which is also very cool!), but I will say I've really enjoyed when climbers post videos of challenges with other climbers! For things like the +1 move game in making a boulder, or where each climber sets a problem for the other one. Or if you can't find someone who climbs as hard (must be a challenge!), one of those challenges where it's like "average" climber vs pro climber but you have an added disadvantage every climb (like using one hand only, one foot only, having to do it upside down, with a weight vest, blindfold, no climbing shoes, have to do it 3 times in a row, etc!). Oh also another idea- I think it would be fun if you did a video where you climbed problems with your beta, and then again with a beginner climber telling you what to do, I saw another climber do this on youtube and it was very interesting to compare the beta and see all the things the beginner didn't think to do - and a great learning experience for viewers!
Great video, you should try some format with the setter is really cool, like they try to set something really hard for you. Or a comp simulation with really hard problem might seem simple, but enjoyable for sure !
keep it up with the great work with editing and trying to come up with new ideas !
Chris is such a sympathic human beeing!! Great Interview!
Magnus had a video with Pete about who can set the hardest boulder where they set a boulder for each other. I would like to see that.
So interesting and impressive seeing such an incredible sport climber bouldering! Dave MacLeod made an interesting observation about your bouldering video in Bishop where he mentioned your ability to rest and recover on bad holds, even when doing very hard boulders. Saw it again in this video, where you were able to stop in the middle of a hard boulder and work out the best sequence. I think there are very very few people that could do this, even the best boulderers!
It’s such a joy to watch you climb like a cat with this effortlessness and to the point tecnique. Loved format and Music.
Stefano bouldering like its free solo 🤣🤣🤣
What a joy to watch 🎉😊😂 Thank you. I think you make a really nice host 👏🤩
bro the music...hell flipping yes man!!:D
Great video!
Would love to see some lead climbing challenges.
Loved the episode, Luis Parkinsson does a thing they call "Flash the set" where he goes to a new gym and tries to flash every single boulder (Granted those gyms are usually a lot smaller than this one :D). But they are some of my favorite content, loved some other suggestions tho where you try to get a certain V score on a system board
Man, your heel-hooks are gorgeous
Come back to Innsbruck! It's always a blast watching you climb.
i’m digging the jazz!
You should come to alien bloc in Edinburgh, we have a spray wall with Boulders up to 8C/+ set by will bosi. Also a “pusher” circuit with pusher holds and multiple boulders above 7C+ and up to 8B.
There's a Nicros climbing wall deep south Texas in a city named Edinburg which is the only wall available to climb for miles. It's located at the University of Rio Grande Valley, and is a replica of an unknown rockface, it's top rope only, but has some hard routes established and has a lot of potential, may be interesting to check out! Closest place to climb from there is a 5 hour drive and the region is entirely flat.
Great video by the way!
Thought there was no way you'd ever get 45 but once I saw you shake out the arms I knew it was over. Great video!
The pull ups at the end of all this... superhuman.
Such good climbing! 🧗♂️
to me the controlled letting go of the feet with super shitty holds are insane. also insane toehooking on some ridicoulously hard boulders. idk man, i consider myself decent at bycicling and pulling with my torubber, but the amount of forced contact stefano brings out just amazes me. he looks so stiff dude, like his whole body locks up so well x).... sooooo incredibly strong. just fun to watch
Last two V10 were good! And it would be curious to see how would you climb that last V11 as well.
Thank you for the video! It was fun!
Sei sempre al TOP Ghiso 💪🏻
45 pull ups in a row ? That's extremely impressive, congrats !
Cheating w legs
Still not easy tho
@@benharrington1652 went searching for this comment
@@benharrington1652 OK and? They were full ROM so I dont see the problems plus he had an 1 hour session of hard boulders right before
@@MLRTrytonix13 ok and they weren’t as hard as normal pull ups without swinging ur legs everywhere
This was really fun!!!
What I learned from this video (but should have known already given his climbing resume): Stefano has literal oceans of endurance
Flash or die? The video was posted 20 seconds ago but I expect nothing less than flash attempts at free soloing
Amaaaazing!!!!
Great Video!
Climb On in homewood, IL (near the city) has a features only route that a 5.14 climber couldnt finish projecting however sections have been done by very strong people so its probably doable. Its a very tensiony sloper route, which is probably why its not been linked together as its very tiring. There are many other indoor features routes there and they have community based route setting so its very cool. Itd be awesome to see you there if you come to chicago!
I'd love to see some lead challenges, not just bouldering. How many betas you can find for a route/crux, or again how many you can flash, etc. Would be really cool to watch!
Love that the best in the world all now have CZcams channels
45 fully legit, powerful pull ups, without coming down, after climbing all those problems. Good lord! 💪
Please put full videos of the V6's! Split screen hard to watch your technique. Great video! Please make more of these. They are irreplaceable training tools for us. Thank you.
That adjustment on the green V10 was super impressive. Gotta get back over to PAC Pipe😊
Summit in Grapevine and Plano, Texas have awesome lead routes that go up to 5.14. They’re not that far from each other, so you could go to both in the same day
One option similar to the last thing in the video is to, say, add 5 pullups on the first fail, but double the pull ups if you fail a second time and triple if failing a third time. Another cool thing would be to have a challenge with another person you could each take turns in choosing the problems.
Im seriously impressed by the power enduro haha
Great music selection
Beast!
Great video Stefano, you should come to Climbing Sharma Gavá in Barcelona and do a competition with Alberto Ginés and Chris Sharma to see who can climb all the routes in less time!!
Come to Innsbruck, we have quite some challenges here
You and Magnus definitely have to collaborate!!
Incredible… I can barely do what you did here with v4’s… living machine dude what the hell 😂😂😂😂
I never knew you had a CZcams channel!!
The Spot Denver in Denver Colorado is one of my favorite gyms. They have some really cool terrain and some super fun boulders. If you ever go to Colorado I recommend!
Who is responsible for having the fucking coolest music as a soundtrack for this video!?
A great gym is also Berta Block in Berlin. They got a crazily large jroof section where you usually feel like in a lead climb. Definitely worth a shot and it would also make the challenge harder as those boulders are like two boulders stacked on top of each other.
super strong 🔥
I love this kind of videos! Super entertaining! Though I would prefer not to have that rushed background music that’s a bit annoying. Hope this helps 😊
Nice video! You need to visit The Spot in Denver, they have grades upto V12-V13.
Not a challenge but maybe you could do a video in the USA team training center ?
Anyways very nice video !
You could try a similar challenge in Munich or Innsbruck. I'm pretty sure there will be some boulders that are a serious challenge for you.
hell yeah dude
Try "Entretemps escalade" gym in Besançon (Fr) and try to do a boulder and a leadclimb per cotation in this gym (some really cool crags around Besançon too ;))
Impressive 🤗
Come to Momentum in Millcreek, Utah! Great gym with hard problems up to V12, and a sweet tall lead area.
Please come to depot in Manchester. Would love to see you try the oranges (v8+). There is a 20/25+ of them in the gym!
one-handed climbing, blind climbing, silent feet, all cool challenges
Woww! I climb at this gym every weekend! So fun!
You should see if you can onsight the white 5.14a lead climb at the right side of the big lead wall. It's pretty cool, but probably not hard for you ;)
he seems a little bit like he is struggling most of the time, but he flashesthe things anyways. Makes the things hes doing atleast a tiny bot more relateable :D
Great video! :) Not a fan of the split screen though; don't know what boulder to concentrate on...
Come to Calgary (in the summer) and try a gym (we have 7) and our outdoor climbing near Canmore or Banff!
stefano is mad entertaining very funnny dude
I saw this comment and thought I commented twice lol
Come on through Momentum Millcreek in Salt Lake City. We have some sick lead climbing here for you. Just watching Natalia Grossman today working through some 5.13's and we have a few 5.14's set-up as well!!!!!! Oh and plenty of hard boulders if you want to do a cross lead/boulder challenge of some kind?!?!
5:58 just like Briancon, what a save!
Proving once again that he is spiderman!
If you come to Seoul you could climb multiple gyms in a single day. Lots of small commercial gyms very close together could make an interesting challenge/video.
Also another idea: trying the Flash or Die challenge with other climbers 😊
"Flash or Die" sounds like the sequel to Free Solo.
