I love the combo of you two climbing together, gives a much better perspective on the difficulty of some of the problems. The purple sloper one for instance when Emil does it I was like ehhh might be V8, looks not too bad. Then Cordelia jumps on it and you can see all the tension required that Emil made look easy because he's stupid strong.
Daaaamn, that black boulder looks mmmmmm I really like this setting/twiking vids since i built myself a cave at home and I am realizing how dificult it is to get a good boulder set up. Keep it up man!!!
Emil is surprised Cordelia finishes the climb - switches camera angle 16:30 - sorry folks! I preferred the other angle (15:00) dude :p Emil you are an inspiration! Your insight into the climbs and your attention to climbing detail set your videos apart from the other climbing channels that I watch :) Keep it up! Ps You are so strong! Jesus
Me when Emil doesn't flash a problem: Wait, that's illegal. Also that last move on the purple problem looks impossible for Cordelia, at least the way you did it: Open-handing/pinching that huge sloppy hold.
love your content! good balance between good vibes and technique and training/fitness. sometimes during lockdown too much focus and fitness on youtube can be a little bit of a mood killer (while at the same time addictive, haha), but i think your channel nails the balance between good vibes and all that. and for this vid specifically its fun seeing cordelia and you try boulders with different beta. its easier to relate when seeing different styles :D
Have you tried doing a bicycle on the upper crux of the black one? Pretty much everyone I saw do the move used that beta and personally it feels impossible to grab the left hand without a toehook, very impressive stuff!
I enjoyed watching your process for tweaking boulders, every move you put in has a designed purpose, and I like that. As a new setter myself, I've taken a lot away from this video, Thanks!!
Someday, a hold will just start to drip when Emil's pinching it ;) Black boulder was just 'mean'! Green one at the end seemed the most 'inventive'. Cordelia's toe matching before the extra foothold was literally on point!
Respectfully: when are u planning to get back on the big island?!?! Oh and idea: make a reaction vid to dave grahams ascent...just rewatched it and he is insane. I only understood how strong he is after i saw your explanation of the moves
I wish there where more slopers at my level (V2-V3) at my gym, we got 1 atm. Can't wait to come visit the Solna center in a couple weeks and see if there are any there
I really liked the last green problem. Actually I walked past it several times and just tried it once or twice and failed quite badly :D I guess I need to try again ;-)
Just to tweak the algorithm: I'm a complete beginner, and I'd like to see something about how you approach making beginner-level routes. How much do you actually plan a "curriculum" for new climbers?
I enjoy the thoughts and insight in addition to the bouldering. Also a suggestion maybe make a video where you try to set easier versions of IFSC Cup boulders or maybe let people request moves to incorporate into a set.
Hey Emil! Have you ever considered to come to Austria for bouldering? We have some pretty nice crags like Maltatal, Zillertal and some other hidden gems I am not allowed to talk about here ;)
Awesome video as always! I wanted to ask you, as A vegan/vegetarian climber, do you use anything to boost your collagen levels? Eric Hörst keeps talking about the importance of boosting your collagen intake in order to prevent injuries and help you to push harder and be stronger quicker, but there are no non-animal supplements that provide collagen as far as I know. Love watching your videos and keep em coming!
I don't use anything for my collagen levels, but as I'm quite young I doubt my collagen levels are too low. As far as I understand it, it isn't until around your 30s when the collagen production in the body is reduced by a more considerable amount. With that being said, I might try to use it later on, but for the time being I don't see a need for it :)
@@EmilAbrahamsson like fingerboard and things you can do without a climbing wall / at home, I think that a lot of people (like me) can't go to a climbing gym as much as they would want, so it would be very interesting to see your point of view on this topic!
what is Cordelia's highest grade she has climbed? Emil's highest? Just curious. I like your climbing content, you make it feel like we are doing a session together, talking it out showing the holds, working through it. I for one love it. Indoor, outdoor don't matter, as long as you are both in it.
Depends on what you mean by extended! I've had up to two month breaks here and there, so it's never taken me more than maybe two weeks to really get back into it :)
@@EmilAbrahamsson Going climbing tomorrow for the first time since February :) Hoping for the best, but I'll be bouldering outside which was really tough for me both of the previous times I've tried. As of now, my max outdoor send is six grades lower than my max indoor send!
To give a small point of feedback: At a few points the music felt a bit invasive(?) or maybe distracting. Like, my focus was pulled away from the video by it. I'm not certain whether it's a matter of volume or maybe just music style (which of course would be highly subjective). Anyway, not important, just thought I'd rather say it than not.
Ah okay thanks for the feedback! Mind if I ask which device your using? I find it really hard to get the volume right on different devices after exporting with premiere (editing software). Either it comes out waaaay too low or sometimes (here for example) too high
@@EmilAbrahamsson I would say that in the talk portions, you sometimes look away from the camera at the specific spot that you're talking about, and so we can't hear your voice as well then. Overall maybe reduce the volume a tiny bit during talking sections, but other than that I think the levels are good! For reference I'm watching on my desktop with headphones on. Also would like to say I love your videos and look forward to watching them, you're a big inspiration for my own climbing journey!
At my gym not sure who it was but there was a route setter that would set big burly dynamic moves using pinches and slopers, loved them. But rumour has it a new setter whose on team GB is setting. Problems have become insanely crippey, stretchy and technical. My anti-style showed up in human form. Started yoga and everything in hope of combating it. Nightmare.
I mean we're at the point where I think people are starting to throw their monitors on the ground in frustration. Doing it for them my friend, doing it for them..
What makes a boulder a classic? I am more of an outdoor guy (actually just realized I was las time in a gym over Christmas and then maybe 2 years ago).
Haha it's a bit too subjective to give a proper response to. I mean in my honest opinion it's a boulder that a large enough portion of climbers are drawn to. However then the most classic boulder is usually the most common warm up boulder. In our gym the boulder that's seen the most sends and attempts is a 5+ :)
At Klättercentret there's a standard of setting with as many jugs as possible for top holds, to make it easier for the climber to get down. I'm actually the one who sets with the least jugs as top holds I think (purple for example). It's a good standard to have, but it happens a bit too often that harder boulders just end up with easy top moves :/
@@EmilAbrahamsson Wasn't expecting an answer ahah thanks for taking the time! It's definitely a great setting standard, then! My nightmare are the slopers that pretend to be jugs. Often followed by a friend laughing as he/she knew but didn't tell you (..)
Really nice content , as always though! Would be cool to see you to take some relatively hard problem and show in details move by move with explanations of all the techniques you use - I’m sure we can all learn from you :) Also for some reason at least in a couple last videos the image is a bit shaky, like some stabilization is turned off or missing :( It’s nothing crazy bad but slightly annoying, especially since the content is so good! If you need a better camera maybe open a patreon page so we can donate some money for it :)
Heyo! Thanks for the input :) Regarding the camera, the gimbal died mid-filming so we had to shoot some handheld stuff. However, I'm thinking there might be some sort of issue with the camera as well... Using the sony A7iii which is a pretty banger of a camera, but the shakiness is killing me as well :/
Quick googling says that with some types of gimbal it’s better to turn off the stabilization since it’s done to fix the handshake and doesn’t work that well when gimble is used www.reddit.com/r/SonyAlpha/comments/8y9uau/advice_shooting_stabilized_video_on_a7iii/? Also some people suggest to buy OSS (Optical SteadyShot) lenses for better stabilization (might be quite pricy though) Also there is a bunch of software that can reduce shakiness of the filmed video. Might worth trying. I’m not an expert in any way, just googled a bit, so take all the suggestions with a pinch of salt 😄 Overall the video quality is quite good so don’t worry too much and keep rocking! :)

what is crazy is she is stupid strong too, and he still made it look easy.
I liked the twisty movement on the green. It's great to see two climbers with different strengths tackling the same problems.
"It looks hard... which makes me happy" - brought a smile to my face after a challenging week, always great to see you two climbing together!
Right, you only hear stuff like that in climbing. Love it.
Daaaamn, that black boulder looks mmmmmm
I really like this setting/twiking vids since i built myself a cave at home and I am realizing how dificult it is to get a good boulder set up.

Yeah, I doubt her hand is big enough to hold it that way.
You can take the hold sliiightly further up and it's more narrow, I just like me some nice big pinches :)
Enjoyed every minute! I love these setting videos where you break down all the moves! More of this!
I always enjoy these videos in which you go into detail about the beta and your thought process.
Thanks! Good to hear, they're fun to make! :)
We want more Cordi
Understandable, I'll deliver more Cordi
Cordi corgi episode
Hello algorithm! Also, the black coordination undercling catch is really cool!
Double thanks! First for indulging the algorithm, and second for the compliment :)
love to get insights into your setting process - so cool to hear. also the green one looks really really interesting!
The black was the best imo, some really cool moves!

Really nice content! I love to see you and Cordelia working on the same boulders as you each have your strength!
Great seeing both of you trying the same boulders, gives a much better idea of how difficult a boulder can be depending on your climbing style
Loved the green problem from Cordie at the end!
I really like the Green boulder, super creative setting!
awesome boulders! loved that green one
Really cool boulders! Nice work
Loved the moves on the black boulder!
Thanks! :)
loving the setting vids
Have you tried doing a bicycle on the upper crux of the black one? Pretty much everyone I saw do the move used that beta and personally it feels impossible to grab the left hand without a toehook, very impressive stuff!

Cool Video. You two climbing and setting together is always the best :) Also genius foothold placement Cordi :D
the hard black boulder looks just amazing, i'd love to try to climb that! :D
Woaaw the black one is craazy ! Nice boulders
I could watch Emil and Cordi climb hard together all day.
Wish I could climb the green one, looks like some super cool moves!
Love your boulders!
Watched your channel all through my covid isolation. I love it :)
The black one has some awesome moves to it but is waaay out of my level. That green one IS in my level and looks super fun! Nice work!
Cordelias press into dihedral at 15:00 looks SO FUN
That powerful black boulder was insanity. Awesome climb to watch!
I enjoyed watching your process for tweaking boulders, every move you put in has a designed purpose, and I like that. As a new setter myself, I've taken a lot away from this video, Thanks!!
Cheers, that's great to hear :) enjoy the profession!
i love watching the two of you climbing!!!
I always loved when you appeared in Eric's videos, but you've really come into your own as a content creator. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the support :D
Love the setting/testing videos

here to help with the algorithm ^^ amazing boulders btw, i wish someday i can manage half that level
I'd love to try that green one
Y'all buff. Really. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
The black one looks absolutely awesome! Would like to try a less hard version of this!
Great video!
Good work guys
black was awesome !
Classic indeed, take care y'all
I really liked the last green problem. Actually I walked past it several times and just tried it once or twice and failed quite badly :D I guess I need to try again ;-)
5:10 I don’t know what Lense you use but the video really looks incredible. I love the focus in this shot!!

Dear Algorithm:
This one
This one is good
I agree
I second this motion
Really fancy the black one..you are a beast mate!
I love all the tweaking Emil did on his bloulders I think it makes them so much more CLASSIC and UNIQUE haha
Great job with chanel ! I love it!!! I have one additional question - what is happen with Kajsa?
Thanks! :D Not too much, she's doing her thing and climbing/studying :)
I enjoy the thoughts and insight in addition to the bouldering. Also a suggestion maybe make a video where you try to set easier versions of IFSC Cup boulders or maybe let people request moves to incorporate into a set.
Fun ideas! I like em :)
In England “bomber” is the over used term in trad.
Can confirm U.S. traddies overuse that one too
Hey Emil! Have you ever considered to come to Austria for bouldering? We have some pretty nice crags like Maltatal, Zillertal and some other hidden gems I am not allowed to talk about here ;)
Most certainly! Me and Cordi are talking about a eurotour next fall, and Austria is definitely on the menu :)

"Testpiece" is the most used word in climbing IMO haha
Haha yeah you might be right, otherwise it's a good contender for the spot
Try hard/ try harder is another one ;)
Pretty sure it's ZAAHHHH
very good video as always! it's very nice to see those boulders with your explaining of the moves!

Most definitely! What kind of training videos would you like to see? :)

A 'classic' video. The black 7c+ is all power. How about setting a long tricky traverse?
The black one is crazy!
your gym seems small, what does the rest of the building have besides boulder? lead climbing?
Yupp! Two floors of bouldering and about 100 ropes or so. It's one of the smaller gyms in stockholm though
Emil wants you to be severely punished for it
what is Cordelia's highest grade she has climbed? Emil's highest? Just curious. I like your climbing content, you make it feel like we are doing a session together, talking it out showing the holds, working through it. I for one love it. Indoor, outdoor don't matter, as long as you are both in it.
The man himself!!!!!
Which climbing shoes are you wearing? & are you happy with them?
The mad rock drones! I'm very happy with them :) for overall performance it's the best shoe I've tried
Best of luck defeating the algorithm!
Green looked like an instant classic.
Oh it was!
I would really like to see some Videos of you speaking swedish
Emil - have you taken any extended breaks from climbing? If so, how long did it take to get back to form?

.
I legit was wondering the same thing
@Emil Abrahamsson

Hihi
dropping a comment for the youtube algorithm
I don't agree with you
Starting a heated debate for that algorithm
*precious debate contribution*
woah peeps this is getting out of hand, let's not fight too much
When was your last send on lead?
*cricket sounds*
what music do u listen while climbing? @emil
It differs quite a bit. Anything from folk/indie stuff to melodic death metal or "old school" hip hop
That purple one looks like pretty good core workout for Cordelia.
Is it my impression or Emil always sets an end jug?
At Klättercentret there's a standard of setting with as many jugs as possible for top holds, to make it easier for the climber to get down. I'm actually the one who sets with the least jugs as top holds I think (purple for example).
