- In today's video we're at KendalWall in The Lake District to christen their brand new bouldering facility, UNIT 34.
We're approaching 100K subs, and according to our analytics the majority of people who watch our videos aren't subscribed to the channel - we would appreciate it massively if you'd hit that sub button. Not only to help us reach a major milestone, but doing so really helps us to make more and higher quality videos. Thank you!

Whenever I hear numbers on this channel I just ignore them, clearly all ability to count has been sacrificed for raw bouldering skill
Ahahah look out for next weeks video - this comment will feature 👀
I forgot for a moment until first thing he did was 12 instead of 10 push ups and I was like „Yep, here we are again😂“
@@CatalystClimbing put this comment in the video too if you have any bones inside your body
Maths is hard 👀
Do we know you?
"It looks miles!" proceeds to jump literal miles.
But quick question, I don't see a tape or a mark on the very second hold, so that would make his start invalid technically speaking, no?
@@deltaflux2381 He touches both hands on the first hold after the jump start of the black v7.. as I understand that is a valid start.
@@Seize_machine You need to be in a controlled position while touching the starting hold, which he isn't. He is unable to hold onto the first hold and be still in that position
@@deltaflux2381 that's fair, I think he was pretty controlled.. but I dont think we will come to an agreement on that. I do think we can both agree that it doesn't matter, it isn't a comp and its safe to assume he is climbing to have fun.
@@Seize_machineit’s not controlled (in climbing) if you’re swinging and not stable
The "what am I doing?....push-ups" bit...just awesome!
Louis always puts a smile on my face lol
just what i wanted to see after coming home from a climbing session today!
I like how they’re just chilling with lawn chairs and watching you climb. Super strong!
Love a good ol 'Louis climbs hard' video!
Hey Louis, saw you at Beauvais (Fontainebleau) on Saturday. Didn't want to bother you by coming up and chatting as you seemed to have some social thing going on, but always good to see climbers out in the wild :)
on holidays at the moment, never been to the gym over here and its awesome, glad you can experience some lovely FRESH sets aswell louis, also VERY exciting seeing a 20 minute old catalyst climbing video, so psyched!
This is amazing! Thanks Louie, psyching me up for tomorrow's sends!
Love watching you climb! Perfect mix of informative and enthusiasm! Such a humble guy 😊
Nice one Louis! Great to see your technique on the slabs up close.
Your hand/foot placement is beautifully solid, a great reminder that practicing it every warmup leads to performances like this. 👌
Love the folks that cheering you on in the back!
Love just watching you climb.
If you can come here regularly I'd love to see a video of you projecting those two climbs you couldn't do.
Always great content!
Better at climbing that counting 👍👍👍. Entertaining as always 💪☀️
As someone who hasn't climbed ever, your video's are still very entertaining. It's fun seeing you and the other guys having fun. Keep it up! 💪
love how deliberate Louis always is while climbing
Being applauded by a group of Northerners in their own wall! That is praise indeed. Good video and good looking problems.
The pushups are brutal - more keen to see you try the climbs more than using energy on pushups
Nice work Louis, nice work Sam.
Such a good video Louis!
All the boulders always feel se fresh in a new gym!
(I mean obviously but still)
Yeah, but I bet the setters compensate. I guess if you've used the same holds elsewhere it might be encouraging though.
You got new glass? Shots look great and the climbing is top notch as always 💪
Lots of lights it seems
As a Kendall Wall regular i was gutted to have missed the climibing sessions you did up in the loft for the Kendall Mountain festival, hope you head back to UNIT 34 soon!!
Damn Louis is lookin JUICED 💪🏻
Toehooking in LS Cobras would be a nightmare, super impressive on the yellow v8
bro is rocking some cool pants today
That is such a sexy shade of orange
Que loko más genial broooooo escalador favoritooooo poooor leejooooooooooooooooos
I currently stick to one gym in Herefordshire, but this one is now fully on my list!
Also, I hope to randomly spot you in a gym one day so I can come say hi, to climb with you would be absolutely insane xD
Been watching your videos since the start, Louis, when you were working with that American (I think?) guy who was just getting into climbing and had all the camera equipment. It's just awesome to see how far you've grown as a video maker and your climbing is, of course, inspiring as well. Time to chalk up, strap on my shoes and try this challenge for myself! (but more on the V4-6 scale of things)
Andrew McFarlane?
@@ontheballcity71 yeah that's the guy! thanks for the name. I saw he uploaded some stuff a while ago but I haven't checked back in probably a year
This is my local climbing gym, it’s great to see Louis here. Hopefully bump into you here one day?
I appreciate the try hard challenge, I feel like it's been a while! Great video Louis!
I’d love to see Louis do some of the easier boulders. Gutted he wasn’t at the official opening on Good Friday. Just happened to be in the area and managed to take my dad and my son to check it out. Unfortunately and disappointing I failed the responsible adult check and so my 9 yr old boy wasn’t allowed to do any boulders 😢 I think it would have made up for it if he’d met Louis. Will you ever be visiting the walls in the West Midlands per chance?
I am immensely impressed how your arms stil function after these climbs. Mine would not be able to remove the glasses from my head haha
Be grateful the egg holds werent underclings haha. In all seriousness you are crazy strong bro inspiring me to get my first v9 soon!
Fun video!
Nice!
Push up speed is insane tho.
Brand new holds... your hands must be smooth as a baby's butt after these climbs😎.
Eeeee another Catalyst video, my favourite!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Really lovely seeing the difference between the different bouldering styles. Why all the push ups tho? I noticed you do them when you dont down climb on other vids. But this just looks like punishment? Doesnt look like that would help with positive mindset? Or is it just for fun as part of the challenge.. in which case i challenge you next one to hop on one foot 10 times instead 😂😂
i have a theory that if Louis skips doing pushups, he would send the super hard climbs after a few tries thanks to not draining his energy pushupping! Genuinely curious what a banned-pushup climbing session would result in :)
hey do you know the brand of those green foot chips?
Nice! What shoes are those? Interested as to what made you switch from the mantras
He’s not switched! Just waiting on a new delivery of Mantras from LaSpo. Shoes in the video are Cobras
...but they're SLAAABS! :D
Laugh so hard. That was a lot of push up 😂
I like these videos when you show the holds up close. I can have an idea how hard is the boulder.
3:40 is that a legal start? Since you had your hands on the hold for such a short time. Or if it started from the next one are you allowed to touch the one before that?
don't think so
That v8 doesn’t seem like a v8 when Louis does it lol
what shoes are that?
Louie, where are those pants from?
Those are from Rungne!
Anybody know the brand of those DT yellow-plywood holds you see around boulder 10?
Which Climbing show is Louie wearing?
would the green one at the end be possible just feet with unlimited try's and no pushup's?(slap ofcourse)
Wish you didn't cut out moments like 14:23 of Louis talking about what he is gonna do. The longer the better.
Anyone know what shoes he has on for these climbs?
Suggestion on the filming, the aperture was set too low in some instances. The bokeh is so pronounced that it is slightly distracting.
Excuse me sir... Sir... Nose to mat on those push ups 😅
Brushing and no chalk comes off as no one can do those routes or tried them 😅
I absolutely love boldering! I’m a mad climber so I go almost every day 😂
A bit trippy to watch in 50fps but I can get used to this
Did you film Aidan on the climbs Louis didn't do?
Unfortunately not 😢
@@CatalystClimbing I guess asking if he crushed them is kinda unecessary :D
Aha with Aidan it usually is!
We can never say “most expensive V1” ever again
does this mean you're doing a video with aidan?
For the videographer: decent lens, but your (auto?)focus is hunting and slow to refocus, and your shutter speed seems very fast, could maybe go for longer exposures for smoother video.
You resemble quintis batiatus
Why did Louis switch from the mantras do the cobras
He’s not switched permanently! Just waiting on a new delivery of mantras from LaSpo
Come on Louis, those are not pushups! Chest to grass or it didn't happen! Do 5 proper ones instead 10 zeros. Still a beast on the wall though! 👊
louis we will also be impressed if you do 5 pushups after everry fall. we will be impressed if you just do most of them. i think 10 is a bit much no?
The strong blurring besides what's in focus makes this difficult to watch sometimes. It's quite distracting because my eyes tried to focus what couldn't be focussed
punishing yourself for not sending by doing sets of pushups. and further making it harder to send because you're tiring yourself out doing pushups. odd strategy
Making it easier for next time tho cause you're getting stronger
Do you get free entry if you’re a member of the London LCC centres? 😂😂
We asked this for the other way round too! (as a Kendal regular) 🤣
I wish there were more reciprocal agreements between centres!
Please tell me that the big 300lb guy is a route setter please!!! Please let him be a route setter. I would fly there right now.
Where was the focus on the camera?
Ps1: mute the mic while doing push-ups
Ps2: love the vid tho
personally i have 0 interest in sports climbing, too spooky
Cool content but the pushups detract from what I'm sure everyone is here for. Maybe just ditch the gimmick.
I’m here to watch Louis do stuff I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to try. Being able to do that many climbs, have the beans for push-ups, get back on the wall and keep going, with more push-ups along the way? Yeah, I haven’t a hope in heck of being able to do that for a long, long time, but I enjoy watching someone who can!
