I work in a climbing gym and saw the video of the speedclimber falling earlier and noticed one big difference between the autobelays in my gym vs his: The autobelay in my gym is clipped into a big ass orange sail/sign that covers the starting footholds making it very hard to start climbing the route without clipping it into your harness. In the video you can see the autobelay is clipped far away from where the route starts, so it doesnt even cover the route, meaning he never sees it. I bet he sometimes climbs multiple times without clipping out, doing repeaters for example, and just went on muscle memory. Accidents happen, and it happens to everybody, but in the case of autobelays its actually moreso the experienced climbers forgetting to clip in than the gumbies. But one thing I’m sure of is that social media has nothing to do with the fact that this climber wanted to film his attempt. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk, climb safe you guys!
Yeah, clipping the auto belay line to the security sail is such an obvious security feature. I'm actually shocked this apparently isn't done everywhere.
Speed Climbers usually forgoe the big saftey sign in favor of quickdraws. When you're using it a dozen times a day, the extra time it takes to unhook the thing adds up faster than you'd think. I get that it's less safe, but does everybody do the "2-4-6-8-10" thing everytime you tie in? At a certain point you just gotta trust in your ability. It's pretty unlikely, IMO, that there isn't a sign for that autobelay, I'd guess he just wanted to use the quickdraw instead. Source: I've speed climbed for two years. Neither myself, nor any experienced speed climber I've ever met (Including a worldwide top-five pro) ever hook the autobelay onto the sign until we've finished our sesh
@@thenayancat8802 you're right, I didn't mean to defend it it, just trying to explain my interpretation of the vid, and compare it to something that a lot of climbers do
Either the author doesn't understand that filming your sends is normal or they didn't actually care about the incident and just wanted to push their agenda. Honestly the article seems to be in rather poor taste.
Oh man. The article about speed climber accident is so fucked. I could write a similar one: "The climber obviously remembered to pay his rent and taxes. He also paused at the start of the route, likely reminding to pay credit card bills. Perhaps if he’d been less concerned with new tax laws, or less fckt with rent prices, then he very likely would have realized his mistake. I fear that in this increasingly preoccupied world, where government and corporations have infiltrated our lives, that accidents of this sort will become increasingly common."
So true! You can literally insert everything you want, from "the impact climate change has on outdoor climbing" to "Will Trump candidature be the downfall of democracy" "the Jewish situation makes this young Polish man remember the dark past that happened in his homeland"
The speed climber accident, we also had literary the same thing happen here in Serbia about a year ago. Dude recovered now and basically is almost back to kind of normal function. He broke so many things.
When I climb on autobelay I grab the first hold from the ground and lean/squat back a bit to feel it pull against the harness, then push on the gate on the clip to ensure it's locked. I think it's good to have some sort of ritual like that for the obvious safety benefit, and to help you transition to focusing on the climb.
I just hate that it is so preventable though. The gyms here have a large mat that covers the first 1.5 meters of the route that goes on the floor when you clip in. You aren't getting on the wall unclipped without realizing it if you physically cannot grab the starting holds
I'm from Poland and from what we know the recording was shared without permission and now it is under investigation by police how it happened, so if you can don't share it :)
@@themurderofcokea climbing fall like that almost certainly would trigger insurance, occupational safety, and possibly even criminal investigations. The video was 100% surrendered as evidence, and very likely one of the investigators accidentally (or not accidentally) sent it to the wrong person. It's a wild as fuck clip, if it came across your desk as an insurance investigator you'd be really tempted to share it around the office.
With only one space left for Japan on the women's side, I think it could be a tight race between Miho Nonaka and Futaba Ito. If I were into betting, I might put my money on Ito, though I really wouldn't be surprised either way. There are a few people I would be surprised to see fail to qualify, but between two comps in the OQS and a lot of competitors who may be in their best phase of development right now, I expect there will be some surprises.
Will say, a pelvis fracture is, if you are going to break a bone, the ones you really don't want to break because they could kill you are skull, spine and pelvis. There are a sh*t ton of enormous blood vessels around the pelvis, so if someone has a pelvic fracture, they are at high risk of dying from internal bleeding. I just did a quick scan of some of the recent research, and for a severe fracture your mortality rate is about 45%, and if it is a severe fracture with uncontrolled bleeding, then you are looking at a 70% mortality rate. So they are really deadly. Not on par with a broken thigh bone, though those are really sh*t too.
Hey man a pelvis fracture is really severe. Better than death perhaps but it's often life threatening. Surgery almost always required. Extreme pain too. It's up there with spine and skull fractures.
It’s been talked about in the Polish community and apparently the guy was doing the route (statically) again and again, so I wouldn’t blame him if he forgot to clip in after so many repetitions. Imho that’s why auto belay sucks, people do mistakes like that all the time, but usually you have a partner to spot it. Not on auto belay
Speed climbers video themselves constantly... it's often NOT for social media but to analyze for ways to improve by tiny amounts (because they add up).
That article is dum af, as a speed climber I know how much work goes into emulating as much as possible the actual comp to be able to get the start timing right when you are in one, it's not just a dum game as they are saying since is literally as important (if not more) than learning the climb. About the video thing they clearly don't even climb, having videos of yourself, expecially for speed climbing since every single move has to be perfect to do a good time, is insanely useful to be able to analyse what you do right or wrong. The fall is clearly due to distraction and Rlrepetitiveness of the training.
Interestingly enough the author is an ex-professional climber with a pretty decent track record (Lead World Cup finals, 5.14c) and she has according to her ifs page even competed in speed climbing once. Fully agree with your point though. Just seems like complacency
Imagine being tasked with writing an article about someone falling off of a climbing wall and breaking their hip bone and your first idea is to fuckin call the guy an absent minded idiot and blame his phone! This writer will make for a fine parent.
Having spent the last 6 years working with law, your objection intuition and reasoning is actually impressive. I welcome your common sense critique of articles with legal parody.
@elijahgilbert6620 You are right. But at his age, he's in his prime. Being the first ever winner of the IFSC World Cup both Boulder and Lead series, in his debut senior season, I would bet for this guy.
The "forgetting to clip the autobelay"-thing happens quite "often". Just happened in a gym in my area a few months ago. That's the issue with "routine" and having no belaying partner who can spot mistakes. Mistakes can happen. Even (or especially) when you're experienced. It's like forgetting to close the door or to turn off the light. If you do something 10.000 times without even thinking about it (cause you've done it 10.000 times), it's likely that an error appears. And this has nothing to do with filming or social media. There are even some people that want to do everything extra perfect, when they film themselves.
I just hate that it is so preventable though. The gyms here have a large mat that covers the first 1.5 meters of the route that goes on the floor when you clip in. You aren't getting on the wall unclipped without realizing it if you physically cannot grab the starting holds
I spoke with Nathaniel in a comp last year and he said he was trying to focus on actual rock climbing this year, he wanted to send a V16 this year from what I understood
Full disclosure. My first year of climbing, I was at my local gym and...forgot to clip into an auto. Those gyms walls were only like 15-18 feet high max, and thankfully it was a route too hard for me, so I fell like 8 feet off the ground, but it was a HUGE wakeup call for my own complacency. I was an idiot. I had no camera. I don't post vids to my social feeds. I was very tired, and just spaced the f out like a moron and could have seriously hurt myself, but got lucky. Bet your ass I am super careful now, and prefer to top rope with a partner and skip autos completely.
i've just found the video and wanted to say that to woman belaying close had ample time to stop him - she looked a number of times and could easily of seen that he wasn't attached and warned him. We had an incident in my local gym recently where the staff spotted that the climber wasn't clipped in and shouted while the climber was half way up - also in a lot quicker time than this one (sub 10 second climber) and were able to get the autobelay over so that the climber was able to use it to descend closer to the ground to get a softer landing - think there were opportunities to prevent this incident
It ain't the autobelay; it's the human; which you seem to be wise enough to recognize. If you don't have a partner to check you; like you say; check yourself again.
@@craigbritton1089 The problem isnt that it is a constant fear (I think for that I am too expirienced already), but this moments where I suddenly become conscious about the fact that all that is keeping me from falling to my death is this carabiner and that I closed it correctly. On some days it doesnt matter and on others it hampers my training quite a bit
Speed up your shutter speed a bit and you’ll get rid of the green screen on your hands when they move around. Or just move your hands slower and the green ghosting will stop
Why not train speed climbers on auto belay to walk up 2 holds let the autobelay catch you to the ground and then prepare for the race. Sprinters also check the starting bloks before they run.
Something to add on the topic of safety, If you see someone doing something weird or obviously unsafe/dangerous, just say something... Go grab a staff member if you are uncomfortable yelling up at someone too.
I’d hope most speed climber’s “competition routine” would involve clipping in…. Otherwise the speed climbing event at the Olympics is gunna get messsssssy
Stupid the news person blames social media, it is basically just like forgetting your seatbelt, something you do so much without thinking about it is easy to forget sometimes
Climbing’s inherent clout chasing aside, I think it’s safe to say that recording one’s climbs is one of the best tools to improve on technique. The way that article twists it all for their agenda against social media is kinda disgusting. I hope the climber is, indeed, making a full recovery and is able to get back up on the wall soon, if he so wishes.
For newspapers all people who can finish speed standard is professionalist xd Seriously. I have my PB around 30s and I sucks, but in this vid he had 32s :p
Nathanial Coleman didn't make the team after the last US Nationals/Team Trials so he definitely won't be there. Also, each county has a quota of 2 climbers per gender, and the US has already filled theirs.
Yoshiyuki can't qualify since Japan's already hit the 2 athlete limit per nation with Tomoa and Sorato. Olympic format kind of fucks over team Japan unfortunately
blaming social media for that speed climber accident and the whole spill on that article is crazy lmao. guy just forgot to clip in most likely. sure its his responsibility to double and triple check but when youre training as a high performance athlete, you go through your routine and that requires focus. blaming his focus onto getting a PR on training is a joke. blaming filming also is a joke. Sports that requires alot of technique and repititions most likely need filming so they can fix their mistakes. same as when you do film review as a team in team sports. the person who wrote that article clearly never competed in a high level smh.
yet another person falling victim to the systematic negligence that is not having a physical blockade for when you are not clipped in. How have this not been fixed everywhere? Should be part of the autobelay inspection by now
Nathaniel Coleman can’t get a spot for the upcoming Olympics. Each country can only send 2 climbers of each gender, and Gruper and Duffy are already in. Apparently Coleman decided earlier this yr not to go for the Olympics (he stated so in some podcasts, was injured for a bit contributing to decision)
Might he have been filming himself so that he could analyse his performance and improve? I video myself to see what I can do to improve all the time. Of course I like to have a record of cool/fun/difficult climbs i've done, but I haven't posted any of them on social media. Social media is definitely not the cause of the accident. Stoopid journalist.
To be fair, you don't know that she's wrong, and both of you are making assumptions about what happened. It _could_ have been distraction by social media, and it _could_ have been simple negligence. But to say that Delaney Miller isn't qualified to have informed opinions about sport climbing issues... well... look her up, haha.
If she knows anything about climbing then the article makes her look even worse. What kind of idiotic, insensitive person can write such an empty, boomerish article and get paid for it? The state of climbing publications is at an all time low
I've seen greengrocer's apostrophe used in plurals and verbs, this is the first time I've seen it in fucking name. Learn your own language. There's no automatic ' before an s at the end of word.
I'm speculating he was filming himself to analyze his movements later. It's something you see professionals do regularly. So no necessarily "fo da grams"
Coleman and Ogata cannot qualify as people have pointed out. Miho is also not a given, she lost the Japan Cup in boulder to Mio Nakamura last month and lead is not her strongest discipline, she didn't even make finals. Also Futaba Ito is a contender, she only missed one top compared to Miho in boulder but beat her in lead at the Japan Cup. Miho had a much better World Cup season last year but at the moment Futaba seems about equally strong. I'd love to see Miho at the Olympics but she'll have to fight for it.
The Testpiece podcast did an interview with Nathaniel Coleman recently. Seems like after an injury he’s doing some soul searching and doing lots of outdoor climbing and streaming (?)
At all my local gyms theres signs on the auto belays saying "dont forget to clip in", which means it's definitely happened lots of times before. Definitely more to do with trying a route over and over (and not having a buddy to check you) and just forgetting one time.
Recording your climbs for training purposes and showing off to friends has been around since the 80s. That's how the word beta was added to climbing from the betamax tapes.
Why do you keep focusing on Nathaniel? We shouldn’t expect someone to go to the Olympics just because they placed in the last one. That’s the kind of pressure that has probably affected Nathaniel’s morale and decisions not to compete much in the last year.
Thank you for covering the climbing fall. It was a good reminder not to become complacent about checks before a climb. It can be easy to fall into routine and think everything is safe (I’ve certainly zoned about before, but thankfully nothing bad happened). But we have to be vigilant against our own ability to put ourselves in dangerous situations, especially when it comes to things we’ve done countless times in the past. We have to own our own safety and the safety of others who literally trust their lives into our hands.😕 Best wishes on climbing, everyone! Go forth and safely send more dynos!
I think you forgot that every nation only has two spots, so Nathaniel and Yoshiyuki are already out, same for Sean Baily
“Boulderers get hurt just falling on the pad from like 5ft off the ground. “

Apparently Coleman decided earlier this yr not to go for the Olympics (he stated so in some podcasts, was injured for a bit contributing to decision)
Might he have been filming himself so that he could analyse his performance and improve? I video myself to see what I can do to improve all the time. Of course I like to have a record of cool/fun/difficult climbs i've done, but I haven't posted any of them on social media. Social media is definitely not the cause of the accident. Stoopid journalist.
If a speed climber faslls from the top of the route, does anyone really care? 😅
sir please learn a lil bit more about olympic qualifiers before talking about olympic qualifiers - love your channel tho !
there is no "s" at the end of the words "women" and "men. unless my english teachers lied to me all my life.
If you want to be pedantic, it's an ellipsis. So women's (climbing team), men's (climbing team).
Disgusting when people blaspheme. Not classy at all.
Slick suit. Clearly you are a fake climber though, you don't look like a dirt bag at all!
To be fair, you don't know that she's wrong, and both of you are making assumptions about what happened. It _could_ have been distraction by social media, and it _could_ have been simple negligence. But to say that Delaney Miller isn't qualified to have informed opinions about sport climbing issues... well... look her up, haha.
If she knows anything about climbing then the article makes her look even worse. What kind of idiotic, insensitive person can write such an empty, boomerish article and get paid for it? The state of climbing publications is at an all time low
Nathaniel coleman said on the testpiece climbing podcast that he wont be going for the olympics this year and decided to focus on outdoor climbing
He didn't qualify in team trials last year so yeah competition climbing is that hard
You forgot about Oriane Bertone and Toby Robert’s who also qualified!
I've seen greengrocer's apostrophe used in plurals and verbs, this is the first time I've seen it in fucking name. Learn your own language. There's no automatic ' before an s at the end of word.

@@stonefox2546 If you understood what they said, it doesn’t really matter how they said it. Language is about communication, calm down.
@@stonefox2546this is psychotic
Thx I thought I was crazy that Oriane wasn't mentionned
You're on screen confidence has gotten so much better and it feels like you feel like you belong more in your own videos which I think is awesome

It's the tie
The tie is relevant. I agree.
I was thinking the same thing.
I'm speculating he was filming himself to analyze his movements later. It's something you see professionals do regularly. So no necessarily "fo da grams"
Coleman and Ogata cannot qualify as people have pointed out. Miho is also not a given, she lost the Japan Cup in boulder to Mio Nakamura last month and lead is not her strongest discipline, she didn't even make finals. Also Futaba Ito is a contender, she only missed one top compared to Miho in boulder but beat her in lead at the Japan Cup. Miho had a much better World Cup season last year but at the moment Futaba seems about equally strong. I'd love to see Miho at the Olympics but she'll have to fight for it.
The Testpiece podcast did an interview with Nathaniel Coleman recently. Seems like after an injury he’s doing some soul searching and doing lots of outdoor climbing and streaming (?)
At all my local gyms theres signs on the auto belays saying "dont forget to clip in", which means it's definitely happened lots of times before. Definitely more to do with trying a route over and over (and not having a buddy to check you) and just forgetting one time.
Yooo climbing stuff.
You forgot to mention a very important detail!
Did the polish climber get his PR at least or not???
He did on the descent
@@davesmith1588 Thats insane 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m so looking forward to this years Olympics! The women’s comp is looking tough!!
I know, I'm rooting for Oriane to make a big splash on the global scene!
The climbing news anchor we don’t deserve but greatly needed
The only primetime news I'd watch religiously
Always happy to see the climbing news, keep up the content
That article was AI-written for sure, or at least i hope it was.
In Poland we had so many such shit articles, so it could be translated one of them xd
Nathaniel Coleman hasn't made a finals since 2021, and hasn't won a medal in a world cup since 2015. You're definitely out of the loop
That writer was reaching so far he may be able to 1-5-9
Recording your climbs for training purposes and showing off to friends has been around since the 80s. That's how the word beta was added to climbing from the betamax tapes.
going to be cheering for brooke this year
Why do you keep focusing on Nathaniel? We shouldn’t expect someone to go to the Olympics just because they placed in the last one. That’s the kind of pressure that has probably affected Nathaniel’s morale and decisions not to compete much in the last year.
“Stasha Geko”!? Please tell me it was on purpose.
love how you eliminated Ondra and there he is, qualified :D
Man I got a pelvic injury that shit hurts so bad
"what was he thinking?!!!" .... dude probably wasn't thinking much at all😅
I fking love your content
Isn’t it common place for athletes to film themselves. I sometimes film myself just to see how I could do better and basically never post anything
Thank you for covering the climbing fall. It was a good reminder not to become complacent about checks before a climb.
It can be easy to fall into routine and think everything is safe (I’ve certainly zoned about before, but thankfully nothing bad happened).
But we have to be vigilant against our own ability to put ourselves in dangerous situations, especially when it comes to things we’ve done countless times in the past. We have to own our own safety and the safety of others who literally trust their lives into our hands.😕
Best wishes on climbing, everyone! Go forth and safely send more dynos!
This is really good artistically
TIL you’re a veteran
