In today's video I'm joined by the fantastic climbers Billy Ridal and Alex Waterhouse, both from team GB. We were at the world cup in Brixen competing but didn't get to climb all of the rounds, but lucky for us they left the boulders up after the finals. In this episode we have a session on these boulders and enjoy the moves to the fullest!

Heyo people!
It's been a while since the latest video, been keeping busy with other stuff (training, comps etc).
Now after the lead WC in Chamonix I'll be in Magic Wood for a while, only editing and trying to send some hard stuff. Anything in particular you all wanna see (in terms of videos) or any recommendations for me on what to climb? Any and all grades/styles are welcome!
id love to see you focus more on the whole "sloper daddy" thing lol. seeing you on some famous sloper test pieces would be really interesting, or have you do some sloper oreinted grip strength comparisons. maybe a yves grevele sloper comparison??
Practice of the wild
Could you give us a little update on what you've been up to in the last couple of month? Like comps, locations, travelling/van life...
I would love a video about the history of magic wood, about how it was discovered, first boulders, most memorable moments etc. Also, some info on how it‘s doing since covid, been hearing a lot of horror stories about how people treat climbing areas and therefore never went to one, in fear that i‘d just add to the ‚destruction‘..
I want to see you climb Foxy Lady (8a) 🦊
Just puts into perspective how other-worldy strong/good the finalists are. Emil and crew are ridiculously strong/good already and the finalists are topping these boulders with a time limit. Blows my mind
Came to say this, insanity man
Emil, please do an analysis video on explaining how much you suck compared to these world level climbers, what are the differences (is it pure strength, technique, both?), the distances, the amount of steps and reasons that separates you from them. You guys seem at the right spot in terms of level to judge how far you are from wc level (they make the boulder seem easy). that video was awesome showing how hard these boulders really are
@@spongiebob94 I second this. An insider’s perspective would be really nice to hear. I always assumed that the gap was more mental then anything but it seems from this video that there may be a significant physical or technical gap to the finalists as well? For instance, of the entire field of WC climbers, approximately how many of them have a legit chance of reaching finals every time they enter?
I need this for every world cup. Nothings shows better how absoluteley outrageous those elite climbers are, than a bunch of extremely strong dudes struggling hard to do those boulders over a whole session. It just looks too easy seeing them on tv
Really nice video. Your camera angles give a way, way better sense of just how hard these boulders are than the IFSC's footage does!
Hey Man, we met at the bus stop in Magic Wood last Weekend, i was kind of starstruck and walked away after one or two sentences, i just wanted to say that your and Eric's Videos helped me through some bad times and i am very thankful for that
Heeeyo homie. Thanks a ton for the kind words, it really makes all the hours editing worth every second to hear something like this
Seeing Jim on plastic rather than Gritstone is like spotting Polar Bears in India.
Emil this was sick! Really shows how hard these problems are when filmed up close like this.
It's outrageous that there are people who can do these problems within 4 minutes
This is one of my fav climbing videos out of any I've seen. To be able to watch the finals and then see the boulders attempted in a regular session with more time and better angles is soo sick.
These are my favourite types of videos, a bunch of elite climbers mucking around and having fun being silly on some insane boulders, makes me feel like I'm part of the fun.
Also insane to see the level of the world cup finals boulders, the pros make them look almost doable, I'm so far below your level and you guys still get your butt kicked by them haha
Everything we saw in this video was top-notch! The ad, the abs, the camera angles (that put the sheer insanity of the final boulders in perspective) and the outrageously good efforts of everyone to get the moves done ;)
just came for the surfshark ad, wasn't disappointed!
Those boulders are so nuts. My favorite finals of the year. I'm surprised you guys didn't do the insane swings on M2. Very clever beta breaks.
This close-up really shows up the incredible difficulty of these climbs jeez! Great video Emil! :)
insane this skillgap between an 8c climber who cant get zones after hours and the World Cup climbers who can top in 2 or 3 minutes
Wow this really shows how insane the finalist are. This Video makes me immensely happy, somehow now it aktually sunk in for me, that you are indeed climbing on Worldcup Boulders on the Worldcup stage. The ridiciously strong and fun Dude I first saw in an EKB Video some Years back is now climbing at Worldcup level. Your growth is amazing.
Also I really love this chaotic Session videos, its just an absolute pleasure to watch.
Billy Ridal, the most fit climber in UK.
Loved this episode! It's amazing to see so many great British climbers! Alex, Billy, Jim... this video gives us some perspective how hard those poblems actually are. Thank you for that!
Haha funny you should say that, he actually handed me a pair in innsbruck and I'm in love with them
@@EmilAbrahamsson a pair of what?
@@13Omega37 Oh weird, this was a reply to a different comment, must've missclicked or it was my poor internet connection.
But to clarify, Alex Waterhouse recently started a clothing brand and handed me a pair of shorts, and the comment I thougth I replied to had to do with that :P
Jesus. This is a seriously strong bunch of guys and gal, I’ve seen them walk up & flash climbs which I would call a top notch nail project! - so it shows how seriouslyyyyy insane those feats of strength and skill are in the very limited time.
Loved this video, thanks!
omg the filming has levelled up so much lately !! keep it up !
thanks homie! cred to cordi for that :D
Alex's shorts are the secret to his awesome footwork. Gotta up your shorts game!
We got to play on both the mens and womens US Nationals finals problems here a few years back. So stupidly difficult and these are clearly a level above that. When you watch this you really get a much better idea of the angles and the insanity of how hard it would be to do these given only a few minutes per problem. This is instantly one of my favorite climbing videos.
Enjoyed that !
Like the advert too 😂
Nice van conversion too guessing that was cordee filming up the ladder.
This video is so good !! I love the variety of the angles cause it really shows how hard the boulders are.... it was insane !!
Ps : It would be awesome if you can make it a serie of you trying world cup boulders with other climbers !! it would be like a mega collab...
That was a great video! That was a really tough finals round too! It's impressive how much you all could do on those boulders, but it's also impressive because it shows how skilled the finalists were.
Loving the vest tan😂
Best tan u mean
That was such an awesome video! I always hope that we could see a bunch of athletes playing around the semi-finals or finals boulders! I would watch this after every comp! Thanks for the great video!
wow, it's amazing to see you guys climb on the actual boulders from the competition, that's really cool that you got to try them again. 👍 crazy strong!!🔥💪🔥
Super cool! Yesterday I saw a video of how those boulders got set. Nice to see Emil trying those boulders :)
15:30 it's so weird to see myself background! I remember being there to try a few moves on those boulders and I ended up looking at you guys for an hour straight like a child. Definitely enjoyed the live show lol
I hope you'll have a great time in font!
Can’t overstate how cool it is to see you hanging out with the GB team (among others) 🔥
The song when Emil is doing the 1st Boulder is Uzuhan, Chris Howland-Good Morning
Epic perspective to see the finals boulders up close like this
What a great video. Loved the camaraderie, the try hard and the sense of how wild the performance of WC athletes is.
Why was this camera work so much better than the actual comp footage? That was fun to watch, I'm envious that you got a chance to try those.
Now it's def time to come to the UK and do some collabs with Wedge climbing!!!
I never get tired of Emil's ads lol, so much better than all the boring identical script readings that hit all of the buzz words and have no soul. Great climbing as well I guess haha
Damn this is some great content here. Would have loved you interviewing Billy and Alex about their thoughts and experience on the world Cup circuit. Also, I wish all the world cups leave problems up so people can make sick content like this
Great video Emil. Thanks for that insight! I always wanted exactly that! Even longer, more time, seeing you try these. Great. Thanks again.
Insane content ! Love to see you climbing such insane boulders with all theses monsters
3:14 damn Emil! I planned to sleep after that video, now I fear I'll have a nightmare :D
Edit: now after having seen the rest, I also have to say what a banger of a video, thanks
Awesome video! Really puts some of these climbs into perspective difficulty wise. Also cool to see alternate beta!
such a banger of a video!!
Emil this was great! I’m really enjoying all your content
Shows how crazy these blocs are
very cool vid good job for the last move of num4 seemed prety easy for you
Take your local gym crusher who sends everything and flashes your proj. Emil would flash his proj. Then think about the fact that Emil had a full on projecting sesh where he didnt even do all the moves on boulders that some climbers can flash. Thats crazy.
Keep doing this
Now I can understand how hard it is to climb finals 💪💪😅💯💯
Cool video💪😎
Got the same sunburn „wings“ last year from wearing those tank tops 😂
Greetings from Klagenfurt
That music with the horrible sunburn was hilarious.
That final go!
Perfect rest day activity
More of those please
Best surf shark ad I’ve seen yet!
Van question: is you bed pointing across the van width? If so how do you go sleeping in it? I’m 190cm and we are getting a van next year and aren’t sure if a width-ways bed will work, I assume you’re a similar height.
"You can use surfshark if you live in Europe and want to see this comp", that would be pretty legit lol
Awesome video! Looks like you had a lot of fun ;)
9:26 min WTF!!!! Sick dude 💪💪
"The French would have appealed" hilarous.
Please send a reel of this to the ifsc and get Cordi a job shooting world cups for their live feed. This is better than anything and everything that they shoot. Great job.
absolutely love this sort of video =)
Ok, i dunno what Surf Shark is paying you, but i know it's not enough!
Haha thanks my friend I appreciate that
Next video will be of Innsbruck? Saw you and Cordelia there but was to shy to say hello! 😅
I wish but we unfortunately didn't film anything there :-/
Emil and the guys would probably be far and away the best climbers in any gym. And even they cant do every boulder during an entire session. Meanwhile the finalists use 3-5 tries if they dont flash it. God damned spiderman would be put to shame by the finalists
I'm very curious about the grades, I don't even know if you can give a grade to this comp style... What do you think Emil?
that´s fun!!!
Aww man I was there and tried all of those boulders. Except numbrr 3. Theyre all mad! When did you try these? Ehidh I couldve met ye
YES YES YES
Hey Emil, saw you at Chamonix today, what happened on R2 that you got a redo? Did the knee cause problems?
Heyo!
On route 1, the yellow, my heel popped off fairly unexpected. On the second one I'd accidentally been a bit too Swedish and hadn't had enough water, so I got a pretty intense cramp as I was finishing my warmup for it :P That combined with the fact that the routes are hard to me wasn't a recipe for success hehe
@@EmilAbrahamsson if I manage to find the commentary box I’ll try say hi if you have time👌 was hoping to see Hannes in the finals. Unlucky
13:30 where is the French's appeal joke from? I watched most comps this year and I don't remember anything related, can someone enlighten me?
Might just be a long running in-joke. From living in the uk for a couple of years, the one thing I know is that they love to make fun of the french in any context
I'll take it!
the video kills itself at about 7:48 for me(it crashes), but if i go past it (8 minutes) it doesn‘t crash.. Weird bug, does anyone else have that issue? if so, scroll to 8 minutes =)
Suuuuper weird, if somebody else has this happen to them please let me know!
My computer did some reaaally weird stuff when exporting. To be fair i'd assume it's something with your device, but I honestly would not be surprised if the file just murdered youtube when it got uploaded
@@EmilAbrahamsson I had the same issue with it crashing at the same time, re loaded it and skipped forward a bit and all seemed fine. Just like a 10 second window that crashes which is strange. Awesome video regardless!
Same
Sik!
how would u grade those boulders?
idk if that last try on the red counts 🤔
Couldn't get Hamish and Max involved?
13:30 what's the pun here? i guess it's a bit of a private joke since we don't get to see who appeals?
The teams do almost always know which other teams appeals. But generally I think all the best teams throw in appeals when a finals place or medal is on the line, even for small things
At ruclips.net/video/Vu4FoAmM4-4/видео.html you say the bouldern didnt get climbed but as i remember Yannik Flohe climbed that one.
Surely these are not 7C‘s 😂. They look so burly. Aren’t these more like 8a’s Emil?
Wweeeelp now we're into talking grades for comp boulders, impozzibilé.
Gun to my head this is what i'd give them:
M1: 7B+
M2: 7C+
M3: 7C
M4: 8A+
buuuut that's given many more sessions to work them. the thing is all the moves are completely new to all the climbers, which is why, even when they're relatively low graded, they become so freakishly hard. Also, massive discrepancy in the fact that i basically didn't try all the moves more than ones so my grading might be mega-off :P
@@EmilAbrahamsson Thanks for the detailed answer :). Very interesting to hear that most of them seem not to be that hard, even though world class athletes who crush 8Cs struggle on them. In some way I suppose that this shows the talent of the routesetters to create boulders which are way way harder if not done the intended way.
One of the hardest boulder final ever; and yes , French would appeal your top on M3 Alex 🫣
Such a good round though, I loved it
