I like the German no fun allowed attitude, especially in a world where we tell everyone "you can do anything and it will be easy" thanks for great video
I only feel good when I send something that I tried 100% on. I don't really enjoy climbing things that I know that I can because I knew I could do it so there's not much satisfaction in doing it. You can definitely still have fun when you're at your limit and trying 100%, in fact that is when I love climbing the most.
What you are talking about when talking about fun and enjoying climbing is what I've heard and like to call different orders of fun.
First order fun is is stuff you enjoy while your doing it: Having a beer with friends, playing video games, climbing that easy route that you've done before.
Second order fun is only fun afterwards: Hiking 20km through the rain, hiking through rugged terrain up a mountain, hiking up that mountain twice because you've gotten lost (I do a lot of hiking)
Climbing outside of your comfort zone falls firmly into second order fun.
Like Greg Lemond said "It never gets easier, you just go faster"
seen alot of videos but i probably needed this one the most thanks so much Mani!
amazing video man. Your Motivation is unbelievable!
I really loved this video! Agree 100% !
Good points on this. Enjoying working on a problem near your limit is definitely different than having fun on a climb in your comfort zone.
Thanks, really awesome video!
Your videos are gold for any climber who wants a full approach on how to perform. Thanks !

Pushing harder and enduring some suffering is a great tool to have and understand (realizing the downsides of injury and mental burnout), but I feel it should not form the core of your redppoint enjoyment.
I come from a background of competing marathons (now THERE is true suffering!), but was so often frustrated, sick and injured as a runner. I got into climbing for fun, adventure and enjoyment, and have been luck to have a great and healthy career (climbing 5.13/8a for 25 years with no injuries). I am now close to my first 8b+ (14a) and it has been so much fun, almost no suffering at all, taking more rest days, enjoying the PROCESS and the personal EVOLUTION and not getting OCD focused and obsessed. I am also over 60 years of age, and the healthiest and fittest in my entire life. There is another, much healthier way, but you must have great patience in order to succeed, to be able to laugh at your failures (which will be often!) but also celebrate the little wins.
Balance is the Way.
That crying baby was perfect for this video!
I dont agree with the notion that the journey and suffering of getting stronger is inherently "not fun". I've been pushing myself pretty hard for a year and a half and have enjoyed the whole package. I actually feel like getting shut down is one of the best things in climbing, and knowing that I have to come back tomorrow to get better and stronger is why I like climbing. It's really just a matter of perception.
Thanks for this video.Nice advice. Maybe one of the best i ever learned in youtube. No one admits his pain.I thought that I am the only one who feel pain out of my comfort zone.
Great video :)
Totally agree with you on moving up the grade ladder. Each increment gets harder to gain and harder to keep, and projects take longer and longer to finish. I've never climbed your level and probably won't because I'm older (and got stuck about 7a+/7b), but definitely you have to you have to learn to deal with frustration better, quit whining. I'm getting my ass handed to me on overhanging slopers and I'm a big baby on slabs too. Back to the gym tomorrow. Suck it up buttercup.
Red pointing is all about suffering, it’s a sufferfest. ! Especially sport climbing, I call it “type 2 fun” right up there with ultra marathons, big wall climbing, and most aspects of mountaineering.
Hey Mani, for my 5 years experience, my wrists and hands have determined my rate of progression and max grade. I'm not worried, I keep getting stronger. I really like 'fun' climbs so I argue that part of the fun is going slightly outside the comfort zone. Blowing past it and repeating highly stressful routines gets me a mini vacation which I do not like.
very motivative
Wuhu! Music is back :)
Thanks for the vid! I'd still consider myself a beginner climber. I started at the beginning of this year, so only 8 months, and I only go twice a week.
I do take it seriously even though I don't go as often as I could. I focus only on bouldering, and the first time I went, I was able to do the V1s without much difficulty, but I couldn't get any of the V2s.
It took about 2 weeks before I got my first V2, got my first V3 after about 3 months, and I got my first V4 after 6 months.
I know that when I'm working on some stuff that's at or higher than my average, and I keep failing at it, I just have to climb something easier so that I can get at least one route completed for my confidence. So I was wondering if when you're tackling something that's difficult for you, do you just keep at it over and over until you get it, or do you step away from it and look at other problems/routes just to get your mind off it or to give you a little confidence boost? Of course the drawback to shifting to another route is you expend some of your energy on that, and for me, it makes it less likely that I'll send the harder problem that day.
Great video but I don't agree with the "fun" part. For many people the suffering and pushing their limits is the most fun part about climbing and if you can bring yourself to enjoy the difficult process and enjoy the suffering, getting out of your comfort zone can be fun aswell. So I wouldn't say you have to forget about fun if you want to get stronger but rather bring yourself to think of the pain and failure as an opportunity to get stronger and find the fun in this process. You have to bring yourself to enjoy the hard and frustrating parts.
Btw I would love to know which 9a you are trying!
Erfolg ist trainierbar :)
what an appropriate name ;)
Hi mani, great vid and got me wondering at the end: whats your opinion with training outdoors almost exclusively, it has become obvious to me as i progress that getting stronger and training can be done by spending lots of time outside no gym needed! You only have to look at dave graham and chris sharma and list goes on for examples of beasts as a result of only outdoor climbing (that said chris is a natural phenomenon so maybe an exception). Yes 45er will get you a ton of bonus power very quick and under controlled conditions, but have you ever considered training in your project for eg? like maybe do section between bolt 3-5 with one foot... or do it 5 times consecutively... or maybe section before the chains blindfolded? Im sure this stuff gets you very very strong. Curious what you think
As I always say the sad truth is that if you want to be strong outdoors, climb outdoors as much as possible. Sad because it requires privilege.
Mani the Monkey with your van can't you train more oustside?
Enjoying suffering is named neuroticism in the OCEAN psychology model. It's used in several video games such as the Dark Souls series. You may check a 2013 GDC talk about it: "Applying the 5 Domains of Play: Acting Like Players"
Do you climbers also like to play "Dark Souls" like games?
Thanks for the video Mani.
Guillaume Le Bris I’m a Boulder and love training, and I completely all 3 dark souls I loved the suffering of the game lol
I love dark soul ahaha
I don't know about that, but I sure do love sticking my willy in 'Dark Holes' ;)
now I have an existencial crysis
Do you do any running Mani? :)
not at the moment
haha was just about to ask the same question nice one man
Haha! Stop being a cry baby and try harder. Love it :)
Mani, for a future video it’d be great to hear your thoughts on free soloing.
Unrelated question but what is the outro song
Chris Young Wind by Akeboshi
Many i have a problem, i want to break the plateu but my way is trying harder climbs the thing is that i injured myself everytime i try harder problems
how do you injure yourself? If fingers, then you should train them on hangboard beforehand
elbows
Do some specific warm up and some antagonist training. If your elbow hurts it's mostly because of the muscles around the elbow which are not strong enough
Mani where are u from?
Austria
