Humbled by Yosemite's Boulders ft. Ethan Pringle
This was my first trip to Yosemite and my first taste of the fabled Yosemite sandbag! It was definitely the most challenging bouldering experience I’ve had yet. Thankfully Ethan was there to coach me (and pick up the pieces of my shattered ego 😅)

300+ attempts on one move! | Ethan Pringle's ultimate Rocklands nemesis
Просмотров 18 тыс.Год назад
With two days left in Rocklands the pressure is on to tick off unfinished business! Ethan returns to Industry of Cool - a nemesis V12 dyno that’s eluded him for 16 sessions. Meanwhile Mim and Catie test their mental game on Vanity, a heady V7 that’s hands down one of the most aesthetic boulders in Rocklands.

Ethan Pringle vs Speed of Sound 8B+ (V14)
Просмотров 31 тыс.Год назад
In Rocklands, all the best boulders roll uphill, and Speed of Sound is no exception. Lying in an open field about an hour’s walk into The Pass, this committing king line is well worth the trek. We catch up with Ethan Pringle six sessions deep into the project. And with the end of his Rocklands season looming the pressure is on. A huge thank you to Tanner Ott for featuring and bringing the psych...

5 tips to improve your climbing and tackle harder projects
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.Год назад
How often have you got in your head and dorked the send? It happens to us plenty. So, this week we get a bit philosophical talking about projecting mental game and how it can hold us back, as well as how we might overcome it! Is the key simply to embrace the struggle? Naadirah and Catie also try Powerlines (7B/V8) - a nemesis project in Echo Valley. And, because it’s so important to take a brea...
Scary slab whips! | Boulderer goes sport climbing
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.2 года назад
I’ve been promising a sport climbing episode for ages and we finally did it! On Tristan’s suggestion (and against my better judgement) I took on a 7c slab project at Higgovale Quarry - we’re talking razor sharp 3mm crimps, crumbling feet and painful whips (a true slab experience). This episode has been a month in the making. I really learned a lot over the course of filming and I hope you enjoy...

Get back on that horse bro!
If you're a hoodie, you definitely want to be worn by Ethan.
Cool video and great climbing!
Delighted 💪
You got that last boulder! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
some quality blocs, quality people and quality vid!
at 3:16 I feel Ethan is at least not wearing three of his jackets and/or shirts. hope he isn't cold.
On lighter note, there’re pretty strong jawlines on display in this video hahah
Haha! Yeah there's a lot of jawline between us 😅
FYI, strong fingers can't save you on a lot of those climbs. What you actually need is strong wrists - so-called wrist flexors, to be specific. There are plenty of exercises out there to find if you do a search. Working some of those in the lead up would almost certainly lead to a less frustrating Yosemite bouldering experience on a future trip. Cheers!
Ahh interesting! Thanks for the tip!
Could the take have contributed to the pieces ripping?
The camera falling scene is probably my favourite RUclips climbing content I've seen in a long time. You deffos couldnt script that 😅 Sick video. Looks haaard there. Very cool though :)
Such good memories!!! Catie you are the best coach
Sweaty paws on this end. You two are cute!
Great vid! Just went myself a few weeks ago. I heard Ahwahnee was closed due to potential rock fall, have you heard of this?
When I was there last winter some of the area was cordoned off due to rock fall, but a bunch of boulders were still accessible. I'm not sure what the situation is now though
@@f8bouldering I see, thank you!
What was the last climb called?
11:38 looking like a fairytale
such beautiful boulders!
They really are!
More of this!!! 😍
🥰
Such a fun video. You two are adorable 🥰
Aw thanks! 😇
I’m with Ethan, you have that last climb for sure. It’ll feel good when you push through and finish it.
Haha thanks :) I'll have to do some hip stretches and try it again in the fall!
Loved the camera falling over and dialogue during! Good work, looked like a fun session!
Thanks! I think that's my favourite part of the video :)
Dang, you crushed silent spotter. Real nice breathing
Thanks Luke! Totally my favourite boulder in Yosemite so far!
Egos are made to be shattered! 💪❤️
Amen 😁
Facts
Can’t express how much I enjoy watching your videos. Seeing a fellow South African, making climbing RUclips videos, in Bloc 11, is just so awesome. Can’t wait to be back in CT to go here again!
Aw thank you Callum! That's so great to hear :) I'm delighted you've enjoyed the videos so much
Hot damn!
Where did Tiffany get that Thom guy, at the husband store? Hint: When he talks about how big your bum is and then gives you a kiss, it's not "mockery," it's making after dinner plans.😅 Worst case, it's just a random compliment. And he cooks 5-star meals? Note to Thom: Please stop making the rest of us look bad. Thanks.
Hey Tiffany, I'm essentially going through the same thing currently. Years of abuse from work have compounded into lower back spasms, extreme nerve pain, and bilateral leg burning. Turns out it's a few, very, herniated discs with some other issues. I haven't given up on climbing., but have to take a break from it for the time being. Yoga has made a magnificent change in my mentality towards it all, but your story is really inspiring and gives me hope!
Wonderful film. Thank you!
Wow, I actually gasped when that happened. Ripping gear is my worst nightmare.
It was frightening! Ethan seemed pretty relaxed after but it was definitely the scariest belay of my life
This is mandatory viewing for new climbers! Nice video. I've been binge watching all your videos since I discovered your videos the other day. I love them all.
Thank you so much for such a sweet comment!! I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed binging the videos! 😊
Lovely film! I know it was not really the point of the film, but what were the boulders in the first sections? We are contemplating a trip to Rocklands, but are not hardcore boulderers (20 / 21 sport routes are our usual fair) , so we need good landings and manageable grades.
Thanks so much! 😊 The first two boulders were at an area called Powerlines (super easy approach and known for its high concentration of moderates). First boulder is The Prow 7A and the second is L’arete 7A+. There are a bunch of easier lines there too (with good landings)!
@@f8bouldering Awesome - thank you!
@@SteveH759 And while you're there, don't forget to check out Perfect!
beautiful, very inspiring for all of us out there recovering from injuries
Thanks so much 🙏
This is so SO good Catarina
Aw thanks Hannah! So glad you enjoyed it 😊 Hope you’re having a good time in the states!
Great documentary!😊
Thank you! 😊
solo faltaron subtitulos en español
beautiful short film thank you :)
Thanks so much 😇
bro loves a good sending breeze <3
Pure 100% organic refined psyche right there!
He had two hooks snap on him and took it like a champ. He came down so smooth😂
Cool vid, I hope the shoulder heals fast and some sendage for Catarina 😁
Bro almost became gwen stacey from spiderman 💀
Insane landscapes 😍! Amazing filming and editing as always Catie!
Thanks Nads! ❤️
Ethan has moved on to a new GF that films? LUCKY US! Thx for the intimate footy, whoever you are @ F8bouldering :)
Was fighting a fire up there today. Went looking for these boulders after. Are they realy overgrown around the base now? Found some boulders but saw no chalk marks and really sketchy plant growth 1:53
I don’t think it would be overgrown but I haven’t been back in a while 😊
Whippy boy
yo is he good?
He is :)
Nah he sucks this would be a v2 in my gym
Damn 👀
For Font, I use a higher left layback pinch to start on, this is about 20cm above the starting layback you use. This gets around the issue of the leg getting in the way. I also use a layback about 20cm above this instead of using the lefthand sloper you use. Fun route, thanks for the video.
Song at 2:00 ?
fuck yes!! thx for the fantastic psyche
