What’s it like to hang out with elite rock climber Tom Randall? Find out as I spend a day with him on a classic Moab crack climb, struggling on a deceptively hard invert off-width boulder, ice plunging, and trusting my life to a makeshift belay device (don’t try this at home, Tom is a pro). This was one of the most fun days I’ve ever had on rock!

being on his phone reading yt comments that criticize his belaying while belaying is wild
So good 🤣
Thanks for having me on the show. I had SO much fun!! 😅 Hope you will still want to go climbing with me again haha.
you are one of the greatest personalities of the all online climber ive met tom, cheers from spain
@@davidalvarezgarcia3784so kind of you to say so! There are soooo many lovely people in climbing 😊. Hello also from Spain! (Madrid)
@@tompaulrandall woww you doing some climbing here??! I hope i can see in a video either way enjoy the timee
Tom, you are thee funniest climber on circuit. Awesome video again Ryan! Can't wait for a cellar session next🤣
I'm more about helmet policing but eyyy, nothing ever comes off in moab or the creek... You know 😅
This is actually a good series.
Thanks! I’m working hard on it. More banger episodes to come, please share with your climbing friends!
I can't beleive this isnt' getting more attention. This is the most entertaining climbing video I've seen in a long long time. Tom is an absolute character
I had the time of my life on this shoot. Tom is so much fun. Please share the video with all of your Climbing friends, and keep an eye out for many more to come! New episodes drop each month, with little mini episodes weekly in between.
From your surprise I assume, you are not watching @wideboyz regularly? This level of entertainment and belly laughs is our usual bread and butter over there. At least every third of Tom's and Peter's videos is a banger like this one.
You arent getting the kind of recognition id hope for these videos. Theyre so much fun! Keep em up 🙌
Not yet, but if Ryan keeps up the quality, in the long run things should work out.
I appreciate the support! Hopefully the audience will continue to find the series as I consistently release episodes. One per month all year, with some really incredible guests. Please share this with your closest 200,000 climbing friends thanks :-)
You're a born youtuber! These videos are so well shot and edited! The pacing, the music, the audio and video quality... I keep wishing the video won't finish cause I am genuinely enjoying every single minute of it!
Wow, thank you for those kind words. I feel like I’m learning a lot, and can’t wait to do more! And I can’t take credit for the filming or editing, that was all Colette McInerny. She’s awesome.
Tom is both utterly conventional and utterly eccentric. In other words......English.
😂
Absolutely LOVE this series. Love the psyche, love the struggle, love the banter and love love your guests. Thank you so much for making and sharing this.
Thank YOU for those kind words and for watching. Please share with all your climbing friends, and I’ll keep cranking out episodes. Shoutout to Rab for helping to make this one happen (and next month’s too, with Anna Hazelnutt 🤘)
Tom is so freaking funny. And his enthusiasm for trad climbing is somehow really contagious as well. I wanna go out and be a trad dad as well now. Love this series.
🙌🙌
I feel like I just spent such a fun day hanging out with you guys. As someone with a lifelong fear of heights and aversion to pain, I know nothing about climbing, but these are so beautifully shot and the conversations so natural and entertaining I am totally hooked on this show! You're awesome and so are your guests!!
🙌💚
Dude I love these videos!!! It's really cool to see normal climbers crush with professional climbers and you realize that it doesn't matter what the skill/strength level is, it's all about having a good time and trying hard with people. Nobody cares how hard you climb.
Thanks! Yeah that’s my hope for this series - is to show that we’re all having a similar experience, just at diff levels. And we all struggle, especially in 34 degree water 😅
Tom always brings such a great energy to any video.
This is a great series, keep it up.
💚🙌
This was excellent - one of the more fun climbing videos I’ve seen on RUclips in quite awhile.
Appreciate it! New episodes and adventures coming all year 🙌
These videos are really really excellent, super psyched for more!
Thanks! Anna Hazelnutt next month :-). Please share with your Climbing friends if you can, I’m working hard on this series!
@@thestruggleclimbingshow YEY slab queen collab
loving the series!!! just about every single thing tom said in this video made me laugh out loud
Most I’ve laughed in ages. Years. What a dude.
Currently the best climbing series on YT
The actor in you really knows how to entertain folks. These videos are a lot of fun!
Commented on the honnold video that i wanted a episode with Tom and you answered that it was next 👍 didn't disappoint. Waiting for the next one
I aim to please 😁. Anna Hazelnutt in March 🙌
I like the raccoon just chilling in the back, like minding its own business, but silently judging.
This is the best show on television
🥰
Dude! I'm from South Africa and also grew up with Brown Cows!! Never knew Tom was from here, so cool!
They’re delicious!!
Best episode ever. Laughed from start to finish, now I need to try a brown cow!
Thanks! Had the time of my life making it. Tim is the best dude. And legit, brown cows are delicious!
@@thestruggleclimbingshow Ha, and I promise I won't tell Tom you called him Tim 😂
😂
I'm loving this series. Also Tom is outrageous
This is great. Great content, great production.
Thank you! Working really hard on it, and proud how these episodes are coming out. Please share with your Climbing community :-)
man i had a blast watching this colab ;) keep doing this pls. I just love good chatting, sharing some climbs and knowledge and just having fun and getting to know a bit better those legeds
Anna next month let’s gooooooo!!
An absolutely fantastic series, I will be watching every single one for sure. Amazing job Ryan 👏
Thanks! Hustling on it. Please share with your climbing friends 🙌
I’m loving this series. The part about chips was hilarious! 😂
Loving this series!
I think I saw Tom's soul leave his body when he resurfaced. That being said, he absolutely put Alex and Brandon to shame. Great video man, keep em coming!
I can’t believe how well he recovered and then dominated that plunge (the coldest one yet)
Super fun to watch. Had me in stitches 😂😂😂.
what a great series! keep it coming! tom killing it as usual 😂 trad dad 2000 🤣❤
Loving this series Ryan!
I appreciate it! More bangers to come!
Jarvis, activate TRAD-DAD-2000! Love the sock bit haha
😂
Love that Tom trolled him so hard with the bong
Fed like a dream, caught like a soft hug from mom
It's amazing what elite climbers will do for their sponsors.
All this time I assumed "the Struggle" was about the struggle to improve at climbing, not the struggle to live while submersed in freezing water.
Coldest plunge I’ve ever done
Loving this duo 😂
Love the new series, good fight on the climb
Thanks! Hardest V1 ever?
This video is amazingly good, psyched from Australia!
Thanks! I’m psyched to climb in Australia someday. My sister lives in the blue mountains. Looks epic out there.
Wonderful video!
Toms brain completely shutting down in the cold plunge is hilarious
Couldn’t remember what “chips“ are in England 😂
This series is amazing
Thanks! Appreciate your subscription, and if you’d share with your climbing friends. I’m hustling on it!
Great watch boys!!
❤️The Bong
I think I've seen one of those trad dad 2000's hanging up in Sky Bridge Station. Y'all are nuts! Great episode.
Ha ha, yeah. It’s an old piece of passive gear called a bong, where climbers hammered into a wide crack for protection like a big piton. I love the veggie chili dog at Skybridge!
Dude the trad dad 2000! I have an appropriate size bong for that...let's go😊
Need some antique D rings too 😅
@@thestruggleclimbingshowah ha. I've been climbing for 35years. I got all that old stuff. I'm up in Canada ice climbing tomorrow. Does this device work on ice leads.? ....I'll let you if we survive!🎉
So fun to watch
Cat wants in the cold plunge too!
Get Ryan Jenks to break the “Trad Dad” on HowNot2
It’s unbreakable
@ interesting
Loving these outings dude.
Me too!
For the cold dipp, breathe out as you go in. It takes the edge from the cold shock.
This is awesome ! love from Aus! Better throw my Grigri out
😂
Rab is down jackets. Best thing they do.
Absolutely top.
Nails TNF.
brother after climbing with Honnold and now Randall, you've had to have gone through so much mental damage
Skin damage, yes. Mental? Nah, they’re great guys. Had the time of my life.
Cold Ones
🥶🤩
27:46 Oh lawd he comin'
Do you have feeling in your toes ? Naaah that went years ago 😂😂
🤣
LETS GOOOOOOO
I would NOT be able to use the neck sling 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But what if it matched your socks…?
I don't really trust my grigri. Where can I buy a TradDad 2000?
🤣
Tom how can I get that belay device?
19:57 did trad climbers unironically invent pilk before it was a thing?
"How does it feel?"
"so bad"
😅🥶
Where can I get the TradDad2000?
From Mary Eden’s old climbing gear collection. But it’ll cost you…
I used to mix coke and milk way back, but I didn't know anyone else did it.
Tom was really impressive in the cold plunge for someone who doesnt do it
Totally agree. The dude knows how to handle discomfort!
That's the most workout I've ever done to grow an inch?
ooer...
Where can I get a trad dad 2000? I want one lol!
Totally completely absolutely not safe. Do not use.
@@Nofacefarmz It looks like an ultra old school stitch plate. Not necessarily you're gonna die but there's a reason even ATCs have evolved
It’s an old bong, and Tom rigged it up with a bit of a Munter hitch set up I think. Worked a lot like an ATC, but definitely an all hands-on situation. Unless there are tortilla chips to be eaten.
😂
@@jacob8565 it was a joke and homage to the previous comment Tom read about his grigri usage lol.
how not 2 need to test the trad dad 2000
😂😂
Cool title lol
i kind of like the gumby, dorky, yuppie climber meets his heroes series its growing on me...
A high compliment. Or insult? I’m not sure. But I’ll take it 😁
Why not use a Munter hitch instead of the trad dad bullshit device?
utah mormon-looking finance dude w/ tom randall?
First?
Tom makes stuff, then figures out how to use it on a climb. 🧗
