This is in my opinion one of your best videos so far. You have many entertaining and funny videos and some cool silly ideas, but here we have useful content where you teach important ideas for projecting and it's easier to get a fill in a video for how a boulder feels when you dedicate this much screen time to each hold :)
As a man who has been attacked by seagulls daily for the past 15 summers (nests on the roofs in my neighborhood), it's mainly faeces and beaks that you need to worry about. It's rather demoralising to have them divebomb you with their excrement whilst screeching and after that as a chef's kiss they attempt to peck at your head. Good thing that I found that they prioritize attacking dogs, so I make sure I have a distraction with me at all times.
I just want to say thank you for this incredibly high quality content you make! I love how there is videos for everything, outdoor, indoor, tips, and just fun doing boulders videos. I’ve never seen a channel so small with such quality content. I can’t wait to watch this explode in popularity!
Hey man, just got into bouldering and decided to check out this vid because I have this v4 I'm struggling with. Just wanted to say that your editing style and the way you layout your video is super clear and easily digestible. I can see you put effort into your vids and you def will become a big channel if you stay consistent. Good luck brother, hope your doing well!
Hi! Thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate your kind words!! I hope the video helped and you send the v4 your struggling with! Hope your doing well too
Hey Josh, not sure you can buy seagulls? You'd have to coax them into the room with fish and chips. If you spiked the fish and chips with sleeping pills, you might have a chance. But otherwise they'd mash you! Seagulls are brutal, they'll go for the low blows for sure - stike you where it hurts.
Ahhh I just left the UK to travel New Zealand for a year and Frome is my local, can't wait to go back and climb there again, thanks for making this vid Josh, put a smile on my face 😄
I think I might not be projecting hard enough. I usually project boulders in which one or two moves feel really hard, but never as hard that I have to practice every move separately.
There are always different levels to projecting, you might have short term projects where a few moves are hard but you might send it in a session or 2 and then long term projects where it takes sessions to do one move and small links. Neither is wrong it just depends what you are looking for 😃
@@JoshRundle He must have skipped over what you did to that poor chalk bag. That being said 100 seagulls > one man-giraffe, sorry Josh. Go watch "The Birds" if you need more convincing. ;)
Awesome content, thanks for sharing. Seagulls are viscous, don't try it. :P I was surprised when you only had 2 points of contract for the next to last move. Lucky.
Had you been cagey (pun intended), you would have said you'd fight a flock of seagulls. Those guys have to be positively ancient by now. I'm sure you can take them!
Great video, thanks for the content man! Here's a question for you : How do you usually copy with boulders you struggle with? Personally if I fail a move 5-6 times I feel like I'm unable to do it and I kind of mentally block my self. A lot of times when you finally manager to make that move it doesn't even feel that hard. So how do you usually deal with this mental stuff?
This is mostly for dynamic boulders, but it can apply to static ones as well: try to practice the move you're struggling with, but an easier version of it. Use holds from other problems that are closer to you, or you feel more secure on, but (ideally) still something that feels pretty difficult. Once you've got that dialed and you could do it in your sleep, you can try the actual move again. You can of course gradually increase the difficulty too, if there are nearby holds that allow it. Also, I always try as many different ways to do it as possible. Can you get a heel hook somewhere, or what happens if you approach a hold with the other hand, etc. You might get lucky and find a weird unintuitive move that actually does make it easier, but in the likely case that your initial method was better, then you can at least feel more confident, through the process of elimination, that you're doing it the right way. That little extra confidence boost might seem insignificant, but I've found it can actually really help sometimes!

Thank you 🙏 I’m so happy you liked it! I was a little apprehensive doing a more tutorial/tips video so I’m really happy people are enjoying it!
You definitely couldn't fight a hundred seagulls. Six hundred talons would make short work of your eyes and skin.
True I never thought about the talons

Aww thank you! Means a lot, lots more videos to come :)
@@JoshRundle I’m excited!
Chalk bag kick got a good laugh from me, very relatable!

Thanks for long boy beta Josh! Will give this boulder a try now!! (Nice cameo by Freddy too🤣)

😂😂😂 I like how much you’ve thought about this!

Wow cool! Have an amazing time in New Zealand! Looks amazing there! Thank you for watching 😃 love Frome it’s a great gym!!
yes! loved this....next can you do a "how to climb roofs as a longboi" please and thankyou
Thank you 😊! Haha not sure I’m the best person to ask advice for that 😅
Im about to create a gif out of your boulderbag punch! :D I can relate soooo well to this rage!
Haha send it to me if you do 😂
Great video Josh! Nice to see you at Frome.
Thank you 🙏 Great to see you too!
Nice to see you at my local gym!
When ar e you planning on next going?
Such a great gym! I was there the other day at their comp, not sure when I’ll be back next! Soon hopefully
@@JoshRundle Oh yeah! I was at that too but I competed in the youth one.
@@Logic_edits72 It’s always cool to see youth climbers around(I am one too). Lucky you get Josh climbing around you locally, he seems like a cool dude
@@ascotter what grade can you do? I can do hard v5’s and some easy 6’s
So helpful! Thanks for making!
Wooo so happy it helped 😊

I don’t reckon you could fight 100 paper bags 😛
Haha 😂 come at me 😉
@@JoshRundle you're all arms and legs, once you get a windmill going I'd be in trouble. Hit you quick with an eye full of chalk

Frome a good center unfortunately their grading system is a little freestyle
I can't fight a single seagull just with my bare hands
Haha would be hard wouldn’t it
was it your chalkbag tho? 8)
Haha yea it was luckily
One day you’ll put this much effort into a slab problem
Never!!!
first
Boom 💥
