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. Thank you to Cliff for the pro spotting and keeping us all entertained! This video is s...
Ethan Pringle vs Speed of Sound 8B+ (V14)

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...

But in-between the complaining and sneezing we actually managed to do some (pretty amazing) bouldering. This video we shot on the last day at Danger Zone.

5 tips to improve your climbing and tackle harder projects

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

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...

    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!

    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!

    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.

    • @f8bouldering
      @f8bouldering 6 месяцев назад

      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)!
