Wow, I don't ever leave comments on videos, but this one was great! It's really interesting to learn about the process that goes into sending these different level problems. I'm sure it will help many climbers out there, no matter what grade they are climbing! I guess the hardest part for me is knowing when to call it a day. Knowing when your skin has had enough, and stopping there instead of continuing until your skin takes multiple days to heal. Also psyched to hear that you are heading to Rocklands, I am also going in July for the first time and the psych is high! Perhaps if I'm lucky, I will get to witness this sending process in person! Keep up the great work!
Jonathan Beaudette yeah knowing when to stop is tough especially when you feel close to sending. That will come with time spent outside and having a great understanding of your skin. Everyone’s is different. Also, have a great time in Africa. Say hi if you see me!
Hey. Omw? I’m glad that this video was able to be a benefit to you! Keep at it. The more time you spend out on the rocks, the more comfortable you will get!
After 5 years climbing I'm finally figuring out to have a healthy balance of flashes and projects, not getting stuck in one or the other. This got me so motivated to get out, climb and film. Snowboarding was so frustrating to film. I'm so stoked to get back to climbing.
Good to get a perspective on the process of projecting. What about more long term projects (eg spanning seasons/years) in terms of the approach to them and overcoming self doubt?
J. Tarantino that’s a tough one. On projects like that it is really about minor successes. You need to build on those. If you do one move better in a session than you had before, turn that into a victory. Small successes go a far way and really help keep the motivation high so you get out there and keep after it until you send!
When you rest before your send burn, how long would you typically want to rest for? A few minutes or even longer? I'd imagine staying warm while resting would have to be something to balance
RMW970 staying warm is important. I tend to wear a jacket in between send attempts. I would say 15 minutes is usually a good amount of time for me to feel 100 percent and ready to try.
Really enjoyed this video. Cool to see you work it out. I have a question for you. I've been climbing for about 2 years now with probably about 8 months of down time due to a couple of injuries. I have a decent amount of pain in my ring finger and I'm pretty sure it's pulley strain. I just wanted to know if you have any good tips or strengthening those pulleys to reduce chance of injury. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks for the awesome videos.
I think the focus should be on strengthening the tendons, rather than the "pulley" which are the rings through which the tendons run. It's all connected though. Simple climbing on holds that your tendons can handle is the best way to strengthen them - i wouldnt climb on it if it's actively injured though. If it's a tendon strain then recovery should be a matter of a few weeks rest. If it's still hurting after 8 months, it's definitely not a strain and you should get an MRI or x-ray, and get hooked up with a high quality sports chiropractor or physiotherapist to see what's going on and how to handle it.
read what Madhav said, he said it perfectly. climbing hard is not something that comes overnight and if you push it you will get injured. enjoy the process and listen to your body. if it needs, dont push it.
Oh I'm definitely taking care of it. I should have clarified 8 months from two different injuries. I had a past wrist injury from about 8 years ago that flared up and kept me down for about 4 months but I've taken care of that. My finger was bothering me and I took a 4 month break and had a doc check it out. Ended up getting a cortisone shot and it was feeling good for a while there. Just recently it started getting sore and stiff again so I think it might be time for an mri. Thanks for the response guys!
Awesome thanks for the clarification. Seems like this doctor was an MD or maybe DO. They do awesome things and also their training in the realm of functional movement is basically zero. Cortisone will temporarily reduce inflammation and won't do anything to fix what caused the inflammation in the first place (as you are currently experiencing). A high quality sports chiropractor or physiotherapist is what you really need. Theyll figure out what's actually going on. Best of luck my friend
Nate Hochuli I love the oracle! They are amazing and everyone I have talked to loves the fit. Here is a little video about them that I made: ruclips.net/video/R7DECv0H3XI/видео.html
Francis Groleau I would love to make uncharted 2, however that won’t be happening this summer. I will be climbing with Daniel a bit so hopefully he will be appearing on the channel soon!
Blurp Derp am onsight is a bit more strict but with a flash as long as you don’t pull off the ground you are allowed to touch as many of the holds as you would like before your first try!
Touching holds and calling it a flash is weak sauce. You absolutely blow the flash if you touch anything (brushing is ok). The difference between onsight and flash is having prior information from other climbers (videos, beta, watching your buddy try it before you...). If you touch any of the holds - you've crossed the line and forfeited your OS/flash. By the way, "touching the holds" a few years prior to your flash also invalidates the flash if anyone is still confused.
Huh, well even if you touch all of the holds before a flash it is still impressive. I've just been using a different convention. What Vladimir said is how I understood 'flashing'. Don't think it's 'weak sauce' to flash a problem after feeling the holds but I do think it's more impressive if something is flashed without that prior knowledge.
I have never heard you can touch any holds besides the start holds for a flash. I have heard that from comp climbing friends, and from my older trad friends that have been climb 30+ years. I honestly don't care cause I'm the worst flash climber ever ;P, but that is what I've always heard.
damn, that made me want to try that line but then I remembered that I climb about 10 grades lower than that
haha!! one day!

DANG!! SCARY finish to that one. Well done!!!
thanks joel!
You deserve definitely more subs for your quality content!

Nice video, thanks! I really like the outro with dual videos - nice to be able to see the full send a second time without rewinding.
thank you Eric!
Super sick! That slab tho. Aggghhh. Scary.
Gail Hookailo haha very! I was terrified up there!
That upper slab really was terrifying!
nice work there man ,you are really skilled I dont understand why you have only 28k subscribers
Awesome! Really fun to watch. Great job, Paul.
Rad how Paul makes that rock-over topout look so casual!
I love the combo of edited footage with a timelapse of the full send go during the credits!
thanks!
Great video, Paul! Love the break down of different styles of sends and the best way to achieve them! Love it.
As someone who is just getting into bouldering outside, thanks for this.
Hey. Omw? I’m glad that this video was able to be a benefit to you! Keep at it. The more time you spend out on the rocks, the more comfortable you will get!
Really high quality content, nice camera and editing and well climbed routes
Thank you for all that, Paul
Keep going :)
Wow super scary finish. Loved listening to your process and can’t wait to see your vids from ZA! Have fun!!

what is the song throughout? great video paul
found it! "You X You" - Ooyy
Hey Paul! What shoes do you use? Lokking for a good boulder shoe for a somewhat wider foot.
Nate Hochuli I love the oracle! They are amazing and everyone I have talked to loves the fit. Here is a little video about them that I made: ruclips.net/video/R7DECv0H3XI/видео.html
Paul Robinson thanks so much! Im highly considering them and ive been researching them for quite a bit now. Thanks for taking the time!
How long do think is the best resting time between serious attempts of a project?
15-20 mins on something I really think i can do the next try. 1-5 mins if i am just trying sections with bigger breaks in between.
Are you gonna make a video with daniel woods in africa? Is it a uncharted lines 2?
Francis Groleau I would love to make uncharted 2, however that won’t be happening this summer. I will be climbing with Daniel a bit so hopefully he will be appearing on the channel soon!
and pancakes.
Matt S. Haha we all love those pancakes!
How can you flash something if you touch all of the holds? Surely you blow your flash by touching?

why the term “send” ?
i believe that is a poorly spelled abbreviation for ascend that just stuck.
you lost me at "110%"
Surely the point of a problem is working it out ? What's the point of
watching someone else on a video,while actually at the boulder ?
I have never heard you can touch any holds besides the start holds for a flash. I have heard that from comp climbing friends, and from my older trad friends that have been climb 30+ years. I honestly don't care cause I'm the worst flash climber ever ;P, but that is what I've always heard.
