The first time I ever saw Pew De Pie was yesterday when he climbed with Magnus. The second time I ever saw him was this video. I think I’ve heard his name before in relation to CZcams, but I’ve no idea what kind of content he created.
@@ShadowvailYT I drive 2 hours to the closest climbing gym if i somehow forget my shoes im for sure just getting a pair of rentals and wearing socks ion want staph or athletes foot
It was my first time going to a rock climbing gym the other day and I of course had rentals and socks on. I swear I thought I saw a couple people kinda look at me funny but thought nothing of it till I got home I started watching yt shorts and saw someone basically meming beginners in rentals and socks, I’m almost positive that’s what they were looking at🤣🤦♂️
Magnus was really all about the church. Shouted out your merch and he even got pewds to do dynos. As if he was trying to get content for you. Thanks Magnus!
I've been climbing for ~5 years and wear thin ankle socks with my shoes. No cost to performance (if anything it helps the shoes fit a bit more snug), and my shoes don't stank. Pewdiepie knows what's up.
@@TheRedBeard216I used to not wear socks, but got tired of the smelly shoes. I only take them of for hard heel hooks. I really don't notice any difference in the toe feel, but maybe that's because I tend to use relatively stiff dowturned shoes where I don't get much feel to the rock anyways. In any case I would argue that if you have 5 mm of material (the sole + mid sole and insole) between the hold and the toe, the sub 1 mm thick sock doesn't do much in the way of loosing sensitivity. That's just my experience though. My point is that you can definitely perform wearing socks. I think this no sock -> pro, socks -> beginner -mind set is a bit old fashioned.
@@M0dElite hey if you want to go back to sockless i recommend getting some powdered lavender or really anything that has a strong smell and just put it in your shoes
@@TheRedBeard216 I wear socks that are specifically meant for climbing and not only do I have almost zero loss in sensitivity but they also fit very snug. In fact they make it easier to downsize the shoes because you slide into them more easily(similarly to how some people use plastic to slide into their shoes when they are new). Socks have never held me back even when having to heel hook very aggressively and as you can see by my youtube videos I am not quite a beginner anymore. If you don't believe me you should google Ai Mori and funnily enough a lot of the images that show up show her aggressively heelhooking in socks.
@@TheRedBeard216 Tell it to Japanese climbers (Ai Mori & Anraku to name two). I find with no socks that my feet get sweaty and slide around more. At the level I'm climbing (redpoint indoors ~V5 and 5.12c) I don't feel any decreased toe sensitivity is a hindrance. I think no socks / ultra tight shoes is much more of a stylistic preference that make people feel cool.
I love how you’re being nice and explaining things for the influx of new people from Pewdiepie’s videos. It’s going to be great when we trick them into watching all of the other shitposts on the channel. All hail the church!
I think people (myself included) don't add their first year because it usually takes a minute before you really get hooked and go consistently enough to call yourself a climber (guilty). So I usually say when I started and when I actually got serious about it
Regarding the pin - my gym has quarterly competitions they call "The Circuit" where you must complete all of the routes, of a particular grade, in the gym, within an hour, and you get a pin with the respective color grade, which people put on their chalk bags. So you can see, throughout the year, what level of climber someone is by the color pin they have. The minimum is 15 pieces of flare. Now, Brian has 30 pieces of flare. Do you want to do the bare minimum?
@@nosreuter Yup, an hour. There are roughly 20 routes, depending on grade. Higher grades have fewer routes, and vice versa. A mid-tier grade has about 24 problems. The gym has a standard rotation of 5 weeks (4 weeks new route section, 1 week rest), so the Circuit falls along that rotation.
I am a proud owner of a La Sportiva solution pair of climbing shoes and use socks while climbing even slabs which is btw my favorite climbing style. The way I understand it is that if the socks is thin enough, you basically dont lose feeling in the toes and I find it saves my feet from suffuring too much. The only bad part is for heel hooks where it can slip of your heel.
Pewds got a new interest in something, and it always causes some stirr. I remember it was Yoyos first, then working out, then drawing, now rock climbing
I love the slab wall. You can really try the climbs as much as you like without gassing out or ruining your skin, and few climbs are gated by strength. You can kinda grind out problems that are higher grade than you can do normally
There's a gym in Montréal called Allez Up! that does the pin thing where you get a colored pin if you send every problem of that color in the gym. Loved the concept and I'm glad other gyms are doing it as well.
Yoo, I'm a student in Montreal and I have been watching rock-climbing content for years. I really want to start - where do you suggest I go, how does the whole procedure work etc?
@@spacemonkk not who you're asking and nowhere close to you but hey honestly, you just need to come in with a smile (and money lol) into any climbing gym. Just say you just watched some videos and want to start and some passionate worker will put you on your way to incredibly fun exercise :) so the whole procedure is: 1 shoes 2 rules (just don't go under people) 3 understand the grading if you want maybe have fun
Personally I would not call a hold an undercling if I don‘t use it from above. I think undercling refers more to how you use the hold rather then wich direction a hold is screwed on - then, I am unsure if I spell undercling correctly in english right now
Finally, I can relate to the struggles of having a large ape index. The reason why you lose power with a positive ape index is because in general the holds are in a fixed distance apart. What this essentially means is depending on your height and reach your body ends up being further away from the holds than normal. Now if you've ever seen a lever or a wrench in action then you know the longer the arm the greater the force and your fingers are the ones bearing the load. So now you have to work much harder to compensate. Technique can help a bit but at the end of the day your only method is to get relatively stronger.
Sorry, I gotta say it point of pride at 5:30 ish he said a staff member helped him figure out his first V2, but actually that was me. I don't/didn't work there haha. But the video was a second session coming back to film the V2 send when a staff member gave him the 'Nice' sorry that is all
6:20 I can add that (at least for me, I am tall) the step up into undercling was pretty easy. It was A: realizing you need to heel hook the outside right vertical hold, and B: the start getting over onto the blue volume sucks. It requires tons of core strength and the blue volume is only a few raised edges of flat/slippery plastic, so if you aren't perfectly centered you slide off
I’m 6’7 and have a 7’2 wingspan, I can confirm, it’s wayyyy worse for everything climbing beside reach. Size 15 feet come with it too and suck for anything toe related! lol
I sweat so much from my feet that if i dont wear socks my feet slide in my shoe if im on a small foothold. Also there was a women that just placed bronze in a world cup with socks in lead i think.
@@benigempi No, I was thinking of Natsumi Oda who got 7th in Wujiang Lead WC a few weeks ago. They mentioned it during her semi final climb. If Ai also wears socks that would be even more proof that you can make it work even with socks.
I'm kind of stoked. This will introduce climbing to so many people, that never would have tried it. Who knows the next great climber, might be in that pool. Maybe someone who can 720 dyno in the future 🤷♂
I think there's something to be said about wearing rental shoes for a while at the beginning. They force you to be very intentional about your footwork because if you don't get it in just right you're probably going to fall
I know that "technically" no socks is better but i tryed and I hate it. Also ive been a pretty good skater in my teens and all people were doing the same things with the "technicality" (board woods, bearings, weels, wear etc) while beeing complete noobs on the street. Remember that in ANY sport, technical stuff and minute details will make a big difference only at the really high levels but for the noob/average/good levels its pretty much a big placebo. Do what you prefer and works for YOU.
I never really noticed how influenced you were by Pewdiepie before you mentioned it, but it makes a lot of sense. You do have your own unique style, but I can see some of him in you
People are saying it more and more, but I think you make awesome content man. I would watch you for non-rock climbing stuff all the time and I think so many others here would as well, you're just very entertaining to watch. And since making videos only about climbing stuff can be difficult, I totally encourage you to make videos about other stuff you're passionate about. Whether you feel comfortable doing it on a second channel or not is of course up to you. Seriously though whether it's gaming news, gaming, tv shows, reality tv, game shows, etc, whatever you'd want to do, I'm just letting you know there's a ton of people out here watching your videos for just you my man. Keep it up.
5:20 through personal experiential testing, I have found that climbing with socks allows for more slip and movement within the shoe, meaning heel hooks are harder to stick
I've started wearing socks lately because of how smelly my shoes were getting... Immediately after washing, they still smelled... I'm only taking off my socks for tricky slabs
Pewds is basically that guy that make people to shame with their hobbies that think they're good enough to flex until he hardwork his way through with a stupidly fast growth. Surfing cycling Drawing and now Wall climbing
This is highly troubling. I bought and paid for a shirt and, after waiting a few days, was notified that they were all sold out and I was given a refund. Meanwhile, Pewdiepie gets handed one by Magnus like it's a sticker or some random piece of swag from a convention and he just puts it in the pile with the rest of the swag.
just started a couple of weeks ago and can do v5-v6 pretty consistently by now. being 6'3 and fit from other sports helps a lot. where it falls off really quickly is tiny pinches as i don't have the finger strength yet.
Maybe rungnes next sponsored video will send you to Japan to try and get a pin. Ps, a lot of crack climbers wear long socks to protect their ankles. I've also climbed with a guy who wears beginner shoes, downsized 2 Uk sizes and wears socks. Makes no sense to me, but there it is.
My entire first year of climbing I wore socks under my own shoes. I wasn’t that knowledgeable about climbing culture and it just made sense to me that wearing socks would make my shoes more comfortable like it did with ice skate or cleats. The shoes were broken in to the size of my feet with socks by the time I learned about the stigma, so they were too big to go no-socks. I think that, for a first-year (or maybe a first-half-year) climber, it’s doesn’t make too much of a difference. Do what ever is comfy. I do not think socks will keep your shoes from getting gross, you’re still sweating in them and smearing them all over the place so they get dirty regardless of sockage. I could be convinced that the near infinitesimal footholds of higher grade slabs would require a more rigid foot to shoes to wall connection, which socks might get in the way of.
I've been climbing for a few months and I've never bought shoes and I use rentals with socks. I have never once been unable to do a boulder and thought that it was because of my feet. Is it really that important that I buy shoes? My highest grade is v7.
I Ganba is short for Ganbatte in japanese. Which basically means do your best. Very used by the japanese climbers , equivalent to the french allez allez or spanish venga venga or italian alè alè or alè duro
I wear socks with my rental shoes because it's extremely uncomfortable without socks and at 3 months in I am not yet ready to accept the fact climbing shoes aren't supposed to feel comfortable.
i honestly tried both with and without socks in my own shoes and cannot tell a difference at all i do have really hard skin on my toes though from like 20 years of wearing work boots 8 hours a day
The most annoying thing I hate about myself is that I don't know how long I've been climbing. I climbed when I was younger with my dad, but only like a few times a year. Does that count? Then, I slowly climbed more and more regularly.
FYI: Pewdiepie lives in Japan and everyone here climbs in socks. It's not a newb thing. You can often hear IFSC commentators commenting on the Japanese climbers wearing socks. I think most climbers wear very thin socks ("rock socks"). It much more comfortable and doesn't adversely impact your climbing.
The flappers stop happening at some point, I don't remember the last time I had one, did happen a lot in the beginning though. Also, didn't know we're supposed to lie about the "years climbed" thing...
From my friends from Sweden and Norway, I think its just the same thing as canadians hanging shit on folks from the US or Aussies making fun of Kiwis. Its a sibling rivalry, making fun of your best friends, not ACTUAL rivalry. (We aussies love kiwis, as long as they dont declare independence. one country many systems)
One - get shoes that better fit your foot shape aka try different models … two - look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself ‚did I buy my shoes to small because someone told me it should hurt and be at least 2 sizes smaller than your street shoes‘ and/or ‚I bought an ultra aggressive advanced model before even climbing for about at least 1-1.5 years because *insert pro climber* uses it‘ Three - it’s totally a thing that you don’t wear your shoes the whole stay at the gym, but slip out of them when not climbing. Four - if your shoes are very new and are not ‚broken in‘ (factory new not adapted to your foot and still very stiff and inflexible) make sure to bend them around a bit and warm them up a bit before use… I usually now think of a shoe fitting perfectly if I can stay in it for about an hour before feeling like slipping out
Oh - also, if you feel your shoes fit well it can also be a matter of powering throw and giving your toes and skin to adapt and getting less sensitive/roughened up… may be a bit painful at first, but you will definitely encounter a bit of pain in climbing sooner or later… so take it as early lesson in that, maybe ^^

As a climber of over 10 years, if im wearing rentals, damn straight I'm wearing socks with them. If they were my own shoes I'd go sockless
As a climber of 10 years, I think I would rather go home and not climb if I forgot my shoes and went to the gym lol
Even in my own shoes I wear socks. My sweaty feet are too gross for even me lol.
If I made the trek to the gym, I'm gonna get my exercise in
@@ShadowvailYT I drive 2 hours to the closest climbing gym if i somehow forget my shoes im for sure just getting a pair of rentals and wearing socks ion want staph or athletes foot

~11 months here, just 1 month away from being a first time climber! 😆
-50370 years i'm so excited to celebrate mine too only a few more years!
Only reason he is wearing socks is due to rental shoes. People who take their socks off in rentals give me the heebee geebees
all them germs. even if they do get 'cleaned' i dont trust it
perfect way to get 10 flavours of athletes foot
People who wear rentals without socks, are the reason why you should wear rentals with socks
To be fair, if the gym uses shoe disinfectants they are probably less sketchy then your own.
@Mindcrawler23 some argue that feet are more sanitary than hands but who am I to argue 🤔
If the Japanese gym says its a V6, that means its equal or harder than outdoor V6.
I climb in Japan too
One can disagree that this only applies in japan. Try climbing in Eastern Canada
I've been climbing for ~5 years and wear thin ankle socks with my shoes. No cost to performance (if anything it helps the shoes fit a bit more snug), and my shoes don't stank. Pewdiepie knows what's up.
If you wear socks while climbing that's your choice but it does 100% affect the sensitivity of your toe feeling the rock. Tested and proven

Best climber among my friends - doing 7b+ to 7c wears socks also… and rental shoes without socks only helps the fungies take over the world
Personally I would not call a hold an undercling if I don‘t use it from above. I think undercling refers more to how you use the hold rather then wich direction a hold is screwed on - then, I am unsure if I spell undercling correctly in english right now
Some IFSC climbers wear socks
I just started climbing 3 months ago I don't know why everyone hates slab its very fun, also just got my first couple of v5s so thats nice
Damn super impressive. 3months and some v5s is great

thank you our lord for another great video
I would really love to see a Pewdiepie collab right here ;)
I forgot that PewDiePie climbed! I'm hoping more climbing videos including him pop up.
Well, I wear climbing shoes with thin socks. My feet are really sensitive and they get hurt easily so wearing socks protects them from chafing.
Can you link the pewdiepie vids in the description?
I love and wholeheartedly agree with the comments calling you the PewDiePie of rock climbing. Same energy between your channels 😂
As a person that is 6’8 my ideal height is 6’5, cause I’m tired of hitting my head on stuff and not fit in things
I Ganba is short for Ganbatte in japanese. Which basically means do your best. Very used by the japanese climbers , equivalent to the french allez allez or spanish venga venga or italian alè alè or alè duro
Got your Church shirt recently and it is AMAZING highly recommend to any1 thinking of getting it. Also a great video.
i choose the date i bought my first shoes as the date i officially started climbing, which cuts off maybe 10 months or so🤣
A cuticle knipper works amazing for cutting flappers
Flapper in the chalk bag is legit as a prank among friends. Do not lace strangers' chalk
Can we stop the hate about slab. I❤❤ slab, it is the best
15:41 The curse of the 2nd go
At this point Magnus is sponsoring every indoor bouldering content creator. Not that that's a wrong thing.
I wear socks with my rental shoes because it's extremely uncomfortable without socks and at 3 months in I am not yet ready to accept the fact climbing shoes aren't supposed to feel comfortable.
i honestly tried both with and without socks in my own shoes and cannot tell a difference at all i do have really hard skin on my toes though from like 20 years of wearing work boots 8 hours a day
I love overhang ❤ great reaktion!
Dude magnus is the bro for mentioning you
Spreading the love 🥰
i would do anything to see a collab with pewds!!!❤
I have my own shoes (Skwama) and I wear socks every time. It is a thin low-cut socks and I don`t feel like at my level in hinders me in any way.
The most annoying thing I hate about myself is that I don't know how long I've been climbing. I climbed when I was younger with my dad, but only like a few times a year. Does that count? Then, I slowly climbed more and more regularly.
FYI: Pewdiepie lives in Japan and everyone here climbs in socks. It's not a newb thing. You can often hear IFSC commentators commenting on the Japanese climbers wearing socks. I think most climbers wear very thin socks ("rock socks"). It much more comfortable and doesn't adversely impact your climbing.
The flappers stop happening at some point, I don't remember the last time I had one, did happen a lot in the beginning though. Also, didn't know we're supposed to lie about the "years climbed" thing...
Leave my poor slab alone. It's just as fun as a good dino XD
no socks? that means i gotta downsize my shoes even more?!?
From my friends from Sweden and Norway, I think its just the same thing as canadians hanging shit on folks from the US or Aussies making fun of Kiwis. Its a sibling rivalry, making fun of your best friends, not ACTUAL rivalry. (We aussies love kiwis, as long as they dont declare independence. one country many systems)
14:13 would be a cool video
I mostly climb with socks because otherwise my toes just lose their skin and flesh on the top and it hurts like shit. Any tips?
you could put some strap around the friction area (if it's not on every toe)
One - get shoes that better fit your foot shape aka try different models … two - look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself ‚did I buy my shoes to small because someone told me it should hurt and be at least 2 sizes smaller than your street shoes‘ and/or ‚I bought an ultra aggressive advanced model before even climbing for about at least 1-1.5 years because *insert pro climber* uses it‘ Three - it’s totally a thing that you don’t wear your shoes the whole stay at the gym, but slip out of them when not climbing. Four - if your shoes are very new and are not ‚broken in‘ (factory new not adapted to your foot and still very stiff and inflexible) make sure to bend them around a bit and warm them up a bit before use… I usually now think of a shoe fitting perfectly if I can stay in it for about an hour before feeling like slipping out
Oh - also, if you feel your shoes fit well it can also be a matter of powering throw and giving your toes and skin to adapt and getting less sensitive/roughened up… may be a bit painful at first, but you will definitely encounter a bit of pain in climbing sooner or later… so take it as early lesson in that, maybe ^^
