Free climbing is a sport where climbers do not use aid beyond maybe taking a rest while climbing and therefore using aid is often frowned upon. The joke is that a normal practice like going to the climbing gym is technically aid and therefore should be shunned and avoided.

Also like a fucking miracle I started climbing a couple months ago and it has consumed my life and become my passion. And now you show up again and talk about climbing? That's just perfect. I love you bro, your content is so so good. Thank you and keep up the good work! You are the Goat.

    Any time I wanna feel young I come back and watch these videos cause they havent changed at all and that brings me joy as I slowly die from aging
