      Hearing the breathing pattern is so awesome as an intermediate climber trying to make it to advanced grades. I've been working on my breathing for quite a while now and really appreciate seeing how it is like on properly hard boulders!

    I haven't been able to walk more than 20 yards since an op on my legs went wrong. For some reason I've been addicted to your content ever since and I've never had any interest in climbing. I guess it's my subconscious. Anyway, you've been a tremendous inspiration to me to push myself harder through the pain barrier of walking further.

      I started watching climbing videos after a bad injury that kept me in rehab for over a year. The dream of someday being able to climb kept me motivated as I learned how to walk again. Like you, no interest in the sport before that injury but now I’m mostly healed and climbing. I wish you all the best on your road to recovery! There are also some awesome adaptive climbing groups out there too.

    People are starting to open some hard crack boulders in font. There is a beautiful 7c finger crack roof line at Rocher Des Demoiselles called Lueur d'Espoir, a massive 7c+/8a off width at Mont Ussy and some new 8a lines which share a start with an off-width at Apremont Haut des Gorges. Maybe you’ve already done them but if not it’d be cool to see you get on them. There is probably ample space for some harder lines to be opened as well.

    Did you use multiple runs to compose this video? Not that I think you can't climb it, but I noticed the camera transitions starting around 11:29 the mats are different each time it cuts, and the spotters camera disappeared instantly.
    I if is separate tries, I presume this was a editing choice to splice the different angles together, or there's just a few seconds missing of rearranging mats?
