I always love the videos you put out. They never fail to capture and highlight a particular narrative that you present in such a clean and digestible way. Keep up the awesome work, your efforts really do shine through!
Epic video. This not only tells me the 3 things you listed that I lack, but I didn’t even know I was standing next him or when I asked him to take a pic of Brooke R and me at recent Pan Am Olympic qualifiers. 🤦♂️ So much to learn. Thank you for the education “prof ok” and will continue to learn & practice. 🤘
Thanks Jon! Nathaniel is a real beast, and the reasons of what makes him so good is really interesting. Definitely if you get a chance to meet him or watch him in person you'll learn a thing or two instantly :)
Just to say, that a "hurt" pulley is no where even close to breaking a leg before the Boston marathon. The fact that he climbed through it is pretty evident of that in itself. Like some guy with a broken leg in the Boston marathon just finishes the event at all, let alone run a few miles would be superhuman. This is a nitpicky comment, but so many climbing comparisons to other sports are usually super off. It's annoying, and simultaneously plays down the difficulties of running and climbing because it wrecks the scale for comparison.
Hey Connor - I replied to a similar comment and I definitely agree that I should have made a better comparison. I'll work on wording in future videos. Definitely don't want to downplay other sports as I personally was a long distance runner and track runner for some years so I personally know how difficult both disciplines can be. Thanks for the feedback though!
@@AlbertOkay Yeah dude, no worries, sorry to nitpick at something that small. I've watched some more of your videos and they're a good watch for the most part! Thanks for making content at all really, since it kills my time and gives me cool stuff to watch, so I appreciate it!
Our mindset and mood has such a strong impact on our climbing performance, but it's so hard to improve/train and i wouldn't even know where to start... Great video!
Thank you so much, Albert! Increadibly motivating video and even not only for climbing. You disclosed such basic conceptions which are in the core of climbing passion, I think. I like this example with John Mayer.
I definitely see climbing like a kind of vertical dance. There are these moments when you just "feel it", you almost disconnect your mind from the surrounding, and it is just you with the wall, and not you against it. Like a kind of trance. It's in these moments i feel climbing is an art, because you can freely express yourself through your way of moving on the wall. I find it beautiful.
Btw, “millimeter, maybe even nanometer” is a little bit ridiculous. The difference between a millimeter and a nanometer is the difference between a mile and a 16th of an inch. A hair is 100,000 nanometers across. A single nerve ending in his foot is around 500,000 nanometers across.
let's be honest here: he's only that good because he has freckles! Ok, now for the serious comment, I recently started watching climbing events and related videos (recently as in the last week or so). I'm from a small European country and a gymnastics fan. Even I had heard his name long before I discovered your channel. I think that speaks loudly for his accomplishments as well as the insane climber he is! Thanks for making such great videos :)
Fantastic channel, love your videos! Just wanted to say that as your videos gain more and more traction you should consider adding the name of the channels you borrow video from. As to not make any creator feel like you used there footage without there consent!
Smart call! I put in sources at the end credits scene, but definitely missed on getting the links to some of the clips. I'll stick them in the description next time though!
MrSato he said “if you’re not ouiji boarding immediately “ which I believe is referring to his songwriting process. How he sings the lyrics as soon as they come to him.
@@singsongduo Yes, I took this to mean that he'd be channeling his inner psyche to produce his lyrics, as opposed to anything necessarily supernatural (which is how ouiji boards are often thought about). Rather like using his guitar as his conduit (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conduit_(channeling).
Haha - definitely not harder than a one arm chin up. Just listing hard movements to do!...although I have met one person in my life that had never worked out their triceps and could do a one arm but not a muscleup...lol
Hey, I was wondering where you got that footage at 9:13? It seems to be from Cala Sa Nau in Mallorca, where I climbed recently, and I'd love to see his attempts on other routes there if theres more
@@AlbertOkay Everyone here can tell you're a judoka trying to save a dying sport. Jk judo IS one of the most effective martial arts. I thought your wording was okay. No one martial art is best. Wrestling, judo, bjj, boxing, muay thai, kickboxing, taekwondo, and a few others all have redeemable qualities that could make them effective!
@@zainanderson2583 LOL Trueeee. I guess I just respect all the martial arts so much that I think they're all effective in their own way haha. I respect all of them except I guess this one: ruclips.net/video/y0ej13FX8oA/видео.html hahaha
No offense to Nathaniel and his skills in any way, but what made you think to make this video about him? There are at least 20 climbers who would be more suited to star in this video. Again, no offense, but I can't stop wondering what exactly led to this video.
I had just been able to watch him climb and climb on the same problems he was working on right before his qualification in Toulouse so I had the most insight possible from that experience. I also was able to shadow him a bit and really understand him as a person. Considering he is one of the 20 climbers that have or will be qualified for the Olympics I'd 100% consider him (in the combined format) a top 20 climber in the world. I've climbed with other high level climbers as well so watch out for other athletes being featured in these types of videos...and at the end of the day I just make videos on topics I like!
Such a great video. Well done! It caught me off guard seeing myself in the video though, lol.
You're too strong not to be used as examples of good muscles ups haha :)
Do a one arm pull-up video geek climber! Seems like your long term fitness videos do really well.
He low key kinda roasted you too haha
I love how john mayer couldn't care less about what the other guy was saying he was too interested in making that song
I love your storytelling style. Very insightful and comprehensive. Looking forward to seeing more of your work soon!
Thanks Nilay! I'm trying to release one if not two videos per week, so stay tuned! :)
Handsome Squidward
LMAO
Holy shit your right xD
Edinson Cavani
Can you do one of these for janja?
100% in the works!
@@AlbertOkay You are my new favourite channel, dude - can't wait for more awesome content! ^_^
I just found you due to your Geek Climber colab, but I love your narrative style!
Thanks Mister KewlAid (Love the name haah) I'm working on balancing the narrative and the in person videos in the future so stay tuned!
But what if I'm neither a V0 nor a V17 climber instructions unclear got chalkbag stuck in toilet

@@connormyers3603 Don't be sorry dude - it's good criticism that's only going to help make my content better! Respect :)
David Goggins runs on broken legs. Runners just aren't tough.
How does this guy only have 4000 subs all his videos are extremely interesting
I'm surprised that I found this channel before it gets popular. It's not popular yet, but it will, I'm sure.
lmao, I made the instagram screenshot at 0:27. Wasn't expecting that :D
"Relentless intuition" - cool!
you make amazing quality videos please keep posting
Thanks Eric! I plan on making series like this one on other olympic qualified and overall great inspirational climbers in the future!

who’s here after MY GUY GOT A SILVER MEDAL LETS GOOOOOOO
Simply great video, man! Pure joy to watch and listen. Your new subscriber ;)
Amazing video. Couldn’t stop watching
Love the comparison of climbing training to music. I'm really convinced that climbing is just as much of an art as music or dancing...
I definitely see climbing like a kind of vertical dance.
There are these moments when you just "feel it", you almost disconnect your mind from the surrounding, and it is just you with the wall, and not you against it. Like a kind of trance. It's in these moments i feel climbing is an art, because you can freely express yourself through your way of moving on the wall. I find it beautiful.
really enjoying your videos. just watching them in my spare time hope you keep them up.
I'm trying my best to get a video out each week so stay tuned!
Just subscribed! Love your content man-keep it up 👍

"they both are twins"
5:55
They do kind of look like each other haha
fantastic video
Thanks man, means allot!
Totally expected the comment at 5:59 to be "...incredible hair."
U chose the best spot to put ur ads
let's be honest here: he's only that good because he has freckles! Ok, now for the serious comment, I recently started watching climbing events and related videos (recently as in the last week or so). I'm from a small European country and a gymnastics fan. Even I had heard his name long before I discovered your channel. I think that speaks loudly for his accomplishments as well as the insane climber he is! Thanks for making such great videos :)
THE MAN. THE MYTH. THE MOTHER FUCKING LEGEND. ALBERT OK STRIKES AGAIN WITH A PHENOMENAL VIDEO. SUPER EDUCATIONAL SUPER APPLICABLE. FUCK ME UP PLS
I GOT U FAM
Why are you videos so amazing
No, you!
Fantastic channel, love your videos! Just wanted to say that as your videos gain more and more traction you should consider adding the name of the channels you borrow video from. As to not make any creator feel like you used there footage without there consent!

Great video :)
What is that sick piano solo at the end? i need to know
Great vid Albert!
Thanks Trent! If you think of any athletes you want me to do something similar to this let me know!
Albert Ok I’d actually be really interested in an Alex Megos or Margo Hayes opinion. I feel like both have unique styles
@@admiralwheeler I'll see if I can start writing something about Margo in the future soon then!!!!
What does John Mayer say? “If you’re not ... immediately”. I’m not a native and can’t understand the point he is making.
MrSato he said “if you’re not ouiji boarding immediately “ which I believe is referring to his songwriting process. How he sings the lyrics as soon as they come to him.

2021 Olympic Games *
Yeah hahaha
He literally put a clock doing that 10D thing around our heads
Making Jay Leno Chin helps sometimes.
Excelent vídeo!
It was funny how you mentioned doing a muscle up as if it was more difficult than a one arm chin up
Haha - definitely not harder than a one arm chin up. Just listing hard movements to do!...although I have met one person in my life that had never worked out their triceps and could do a one arm but not a muscleup...lol
@@janecochez4429 Wait I'm pretty sure a slow muscleup uses triceps for the top half (the dip portion) no?
@@AlbertOkay Nah, you're right, that woman is clueless.
What route is he climbing at 1:36 ?
Is that cory henry outro?
Hey, I was wondering where you got that footage at 9:13? It seems to be from Cala Sa Nau in Mallorca, where I climbed recently, and I'd love to see his attempts on other routes there if theres more
Tomasz Cheda pretty sure it’s in Mallorca and there’s a video of him with Chris sharma climbing there
Nice nathaniel coleman 😁😁😁 florida
"One of the most effective martial arts, judo" .... Wat?
I would have said efficient instead
I agree - still working on my wording and I definitely agree that efficient would be better! Thanks for the feedback guys

This one was awesome. They're all awesome, but this one was too.
Ok coleman . keep safe do you bro
The music in the cuts is way too loud
Sorry!
@@AlbertOkay no problem mate!
Can someone please tell me what song the piano outro is?

SUBTLETY RISING
So good in US. In Europe he is an average climber!! 🤣
Hey he just got podium at CWIF in a field with Hojer and Ogata! He's climbing the ranks for sure!
I mean he’s good, but he’s not thaaat good.
