Thank you for validating that this thing is indeed overcooked. While I'm not flashing or smashing out V10+ outdoors, I always saw this problem as a completely different beast to V10s I've done or tried indoors (gym or on boards) and thought maybe I was just terrible... turns out its just nails!
i have a suggestion for before you walkthrough the climb maybe do a pan of the climb so we can pause the video and try and read it ourselves i try to do this to practice my route reading and to see how far off i am the way you do it haha would be good though
For anyone curious about the "brazilian espresso", that type of coffee is commonly called as a "cuban espresso" or just "cuban coffee". Went looking for it because I too am brazilian and never heard of it (but had drank it without even knowing what it was lol)
In addition to being an excellent climber and a top teacher, Louis is the kind of person you would like to have as a friend!! In any case, he is a great source of inspiration for me!! Always great videos on your channel. Keep it up . Hello From France
Speaking as a coffee nerd: you should tamp your espresso grounds flat before adding the sugar, then flatten out the sugar by hand - otherwise the uneven distribution of sugar and coffee will create channels that the water will flow too quickly through, giving you a weaker, poorly extracted cup (essentially the water will just be flowing past most of the coffee, not picking up much from it as the sugar is dissolved rapidly by the hot, pressurised water). Also, the sugar in the portafilter first, then coffee on top variation is a relatively common way of making a Café Cubano in an espresso machine (as opposed to in a Moka pot, which is very different).
Honestly! This was one of if not the most inspiring video of urs Louie! It was just real, enjoyable and and inspiring. Made me so hyped im a 🥈 member now!
Great work. Loved the tussle with the door, the “Brazilian” coffee, the twenty or so last goes! Croywall has a lot of fun climbs. They should keep it up and invite top climbers to try to flash for cash!
10:00 intermediate climber here (6c-7a max, so V5 i think? boulder grades are strange...), I think this is the best advice I've heard in the last year.
hey louis i love your videos! just wanted to know when your next JOI is releasing! your tips make me so excited to climb more, so i just wanted to say thanks! over and out!
The Frictitious doorway mount is exactly the thing I need after getting a hangboard for Christmas. But the shipping costs are insane. Can't believe there isn't a stockist in the UK.
For the bicycle release: could you bring left hand back down to the sidepull before dropping the toe-hook? This would allow some pull to the left which would make the release easier. From here, you could either keep left foot on start hold and flag far to the right to rematch the horizontal, or do far right foot on good foot and back-flag to rematch instead (that foot may be further away than the video makes it look, so idk if that is a viable option).
Checked you out from the Magnus vid where he met you at the UK comp! Proceeded to see cat: Subscribed :D Love the breakdown you gave of your thought process, very cool!
You don't have to apologise for not doing the climb. I'm pretty confident most of the people here just enjoy watching you climb whether you fail or succeed.
Actually seems like with a little more projecting (and energy hahah) Louis might actually be able to do it. Such a tough problem, but strong as hell Louis 💪💪
when i am stuck and frustrated on a boulder, i think "not today but I will send it next week" The following week i come back and flash it. I then feel i have magically become a great climber by resting, before realising the wall has been reset.
The real Escape Room challenge is leaving your project undone, knowing it’s going to be stripped 😆
😂
I hate the route strippers
Luckily it's the perma set
@firebirdsreality1412 if you heard in the beginning, they are taking it down soon.
@firebirdsreality1412 they literally said the set is getting tore down, thats why theres a bounty on it
Some of my favorite videos are "Louis Climbs hard boulders". YeeHaw Louis!
🤠
crimp eastwood 🤠
@@maisieccinoExcellent! 😂👏🏼
The edit with him explaining the moves and then showing the moves is insane and dope asf
Yeah, that was some absolutely stunning editing right there! 😍
Proper mission impossible heist plan montage vibes!
@@ayuminor 100%
Probably one of the best sequences in climbing videos on youtube...
the last go-saga was the most relateable thing in any bouldering video

I actually really enjoyed watching a video focussed solely on one climb. Really interesting and useful to see Louis' projecting process!
Congratulations on your Ninja Warrior performance, Louis!
Yeah - just found out how kick arse Louis has been at Ninja Warriors last week.
Awesome.
This was a beautiful video talking about how trying and failing is important to all levels of climbers.
I'd be excited to see Erin try this one. Great vid, Louis. Thanks for all the lessons in your vids, I improved my climbing a bunch thanks to you.
I thought of Erin as well. I´m sure she`d crush it.
I can genuinely picture the McBeast doing this in my mind.

Yeah! Was coming to say it's "cuban coffee" and had a ton of it in Miami. So good. Hope the editor at Catalyst will tell Louis.
I really need to try this. It sounds delicious.
Louis you've gotta give this a 3rd session of gos! You're so close to sending it, it's definitely going down next session!
Absolutely epic effort. Awesome to see Louis' teaching style applying to himself too
You need to come back! I want to see that sent
In addition to being an excellent climber and a top teacher, Louis is the kind of person you would like to have as a friend!! In any case, he is a great source of inspiration for me!! Always great videos on your channel. Keep it up . Hello From France
Loved the intro and loved the process of learning and persistence. It'd be great to hear if/when anyone collects the bounty.
That was a superb video showing why we all love bouldering. It's a ridiculous sport when you look at it, but so much fun.
The joy of you being so relatable is hard to express, we all should have last one counters in our sessions 😂

Dang Louis! Wanted this so badly for you as I'm screaming "come on" at my computer. Great video!
Much love for the boulder breakdown footage! A great addition to the channel.
Honestly! This was one of if not the most inspiring video of urs Louie! It was just real, enjoyable and and inspiring. Made me so hyped im a 🥈 member now!

This helpful. I always reluctant to break down boulder problems into separate parts. I should try this more.
Excellent edit! He's right, best intro but also a lot of cool sequences in here. Well done!
You nailed the one more go vibes with the music choice!
First time I see Louis struggle on overhang. You've finally proven us that you are human. Cool edit and entertaining video.
I had to count the tries to motivate myself and man those were more than 30 tries. I gotta be more patient with myself. Thanks for the lesson
We love to see an Ink cameo 🐈⬛
The unbreakable positive mentality is remarkable, Louis! Credit to you
10:00 intermediate climber here (6c-7a max, so V5 i think? boulder grades are strange...), I think this is the best advice I've heard in the last year.
This video was 10/10 - entertaining, funny, and high quality climbing
must admit it feels good to finally see you struggle a bit :D
Reminds us you're human after all
I don't think I've wanted to see anyone do anything more than I wanted Louis to send this.
Great effort Louis! Would love to see the finished climb
It would be awesome to see some other very strong climbers try it!!! Collab!!
hey louis i love your videos! just wanted to know when your next JOI is releasing! your tips make me so excited to climb more, so i just wanted to say thanks! over and out!
Awesome video and incredible editing. Great to see some super hard climbing this soon after Christmas!
Love that you kept in clip of the kicked in door coming back for revenge 🤣
The Frictitious doorway mount is exactly the thing I need after getting a hangboard for Christmas. But the shipping costs are insane. Can't believe there isn't a stockist in the UK.
Awesome! Inspiring seeing the tryhard come out😄
And the intro was worth the potential send 😂❤
Nice video. Im usually just trying boulders couple times and moving on. I need to improve this.
After seeing Louis climbed that hard, I have to subscribe to the channel now!
Calling Erin McBeast!!
And Toby Roberts!
As an American I really appreciate the cowboy voice 😂
We need another video of this boulder!!

I especially enjoyed the door hitting you back 😄
I think that Brazilian espresso I've heard is a Cuban thing from Cubans but could be from multiple places
That intro is absolutely fire haha. Need more of those
perfect 5/7 intro. Loved it!
Louie, 14 last go's is rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
Checked you out from the Magnus vid where he met you at the UK comp! Proceeded to see cat: Subscribed :D Love the breakdown you gave of your thought process, very cool!
I'm 63, l don't rock climb but l'll watch Louis anytime. Even as a cowboy! 🤣 ❤
very entertaining intro and last go counter!
Please more videos like that! I learned a lot!
the management are mulling over upping the bounty to £500
Definitely worthy
Well done Louis for the endeavours of your attempts 🧑🍳
Good effort!
You don't have to apologise for not doing the climb. I'm pretty confident most of the people here just enjoy watching you climb whether you fail or succeed.
Awesome staff. Teaches how to be resilient and passionate about the challenges and strives to get the m0ney.
That wad resembled a grand more than a ton.
The thing with last gos is that when it's good you'll want to try again, and when it's bad, you sure don't want to end on this...
Last go counter is the best part of the video 😂
“Last go, best go-if it’s not your best go, it’s not your last go” 😄
So psyched!! That try-hard energy catches on. Theres still more time, lets gooo 😄
Proper one more go attempt amazing man 🎉🎉
Actually seems like with a little more projecting (and energy hahah) Louis might actually be able to do it. Such a tough problem, but strong as hell Louis 💪💪
I just feel it "o.k. I'm done" 🤕 ... 🤔"Just one more go..." 🤣
The paper looked really believable 😂😂😂
when i am stuck and frustrated on a boulder, i think "not today but I will send it next week"
The following week i come back and flash it. I then feel i have magically become a great climber by resting, before realising the wall has been reset.
Fantastic intro indeed
We need more coffee time with Louis pls
Really cool watching you trying so hard! Would also be nice to get some one for a new video that might be able to do it.
Oh man, that would have been a goer next session.
I love hard project videos, especially from somone who really wants it
Louis' coffee is called a Cuban esspresso, so not far off, just a mixup of countries :)
Fluffy catto featuring in sponsored segment! Love tha floof
good effort
more videos like this!!
I'm from Texas USA and I approve your cowboy intro!
Crazy good video! Please do more of these types of try hard projecting videos. Inspiring stuff! 🦾
As a Texan- I definitely approve of the cowboy intro. All the vids should have them.
Good effort, brother! Cheers. :)
have you ever tried wiping down woodie holds with a moist rag and don't use chalk? to rely on friction of wood on soft skin?
We can all relate to the "last go" counter going way above the number of attempted boulders during the session
best intro for sure !
Really love the video. Are these custom wood holds or is it a certain brand? They look great (hard)
"To be continued..."
Waiting for the next video sending it!
this was a pleasure to watch =)
If that's at a limit level (i.e. you have never managed to do such hard boulder before), would not a better strategy be less goes and more rest?
Love to see my local Center on the RUclips’s
I was going to skip the ad until it featured a cat. Stayed for Ink.
Are you happy with the ondra comps ?
Your "last go" counter is kinda like my "first try" counter because all the little slips and mistakes pulling on don't count as the first try lmao
oooh, Ink is a proper fluffball!!
Would you say that being unable to hold a certain position generally indicates strength deficit for that position?
louis: one more go, Me: 'checks the time' there is 24 minutes and 20 seconds left of the video.
Does anyone know what kind of sneakers the person is wearing at 21:33? The white ones with black soles
Hi. Person here. Their Salomon xT-6 Goretex!
