Oh man, ZACH, I have to say, you have made such a big impact on my life. I've been following you for quite a while now, and there's nobody in the climbing scene right now who gets me as fired up or motivated to get better at climbing and to ENJOY the process of getting better, wherever it may lead. Your tips of the day sometimes touch a level of depth that exceeds just being climbing tips. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your journey, and keep sharing and making an impact on other people, which I am 10000% sure you do. And dude, you're going to ABSOLUTELY crush it in Kanata no matter the results!!!
😭😭 that’s so great to hear!!! Like I’ve said time and time again- the process of motivating & inspiring others is incredibly motivating and inspiring for myself and it creates an endless loop of positivity that makes it so easy to keep going with training & competing 😆🙏🙏
@RichardsonsClimbing The climber to the right is Julia De La Plaz. Shes one of my coaches and had 2 concussions from bouldering and now wears a helmet for safety
Oh wow that’s crazy! Sorry to hear that she has had multiple concussions but good for her that she can still climb!!
That top of the wall behind the back match was just sick 😂
yeah one of the best competition moments I have seen this year, the commitment to go for that despite how fucking terrifying that position looked. well done sir
Congratulations Zach! You absolutely crushed. It might have felt like peaking to you, but I could see this kind of performance becoming a regular occurrence for you!
Ahaha that’s good to hear 😈🙏❤️
DUUUDE so happy for you! Ride this wave of confidence. If you can keep this clear headspace where you're feeling smart and confident and have trust in yourself you're in for a hell of a year. This is the big level up!
Yesss! That’s the idea 😎 I will do my best!!
Great job Zach! Was awesome to get to talk to you and watch you climb at this comp. Inspiring!- Benn
Thanks so much!! Yes it was a lot of fun climbing with you 😁🙌
Cya at the comps!
Congratz, it feels even better thanks to all of the videos you made and seeing your whole process/thoughts. Hoping to see you climb even higher if you feel like it
Congrats Zach, the epic comp was well deserved!
I was so pyched for you while watching M4 during the finals.
Thank you for all you share with us.
❤️🙏🙏
Amazing Zach!
this was the first big comp i’ve ever watched and it really got me hooked
You the man once again!🔥🔥🔥
Congrats! Well deserved
Big congrats and awesome video breaking everything down!
Totd: this hits. I was a previously "gifted" kid and i have so much judgement regarding results. Its all about the journey!
:)
These vids are just a motivation fuel!! Congrats man!!
Was psyched to watch this live. Congrats man!
Wow, thats a great video, especially enjoyed the TOTD. I personally have learnt so much from my amateur journey as a climber that I could use in all other aspects of life. I think with your level of wisdom at that young age you have a long way to go in life.
Thanks :) 🙏
So happy for you, Zach!!! So much deserved!!! Yeeees, duuude
Amazing man!! Congrats! You are becoming better and better
Congrats man, so hyped to finally see you on the podium after so much work
Insane comp, congratulations!!
Amazing video and climbing! Congrats!! :)
I had a blast watching the competition what a showing you pulled out it was so exciting to watch! congratulations on the podium, psyched for the video got a yogurt bowl to go with it !
Been watching for a while now. Excellent job, Zach.
So much good stuff you've shared with us ¡! It sure comes back at the right moment. You deserve it all dude.
massive congrats again
huge congrats Zach!!!!
Congrats, incredible performance!
This is one of the most badass videos I’ve ever watched on RUclips!
very very cool love these videos
Great debrief of semis, really gives insight in to the mental aspect of comps. Congrats on the huge win 🔥
Zach, I love your content, TOTDs, and attitude. This was a great reminder to build a process and community you love. I also wanted to say, I think you’re a lot better than you give yourself credit for :)
:) ❤️
Amazing climbing and story telling. Keep it up!
last boulder of semi, ultra cool move. The coolest moves are surprising because they are simple and give so much advantage !
Watched the livestream and I was impressed on how good you performed, congratulations man, great video as well, keep the grind going Zach
Congratulations man!!! The flying eagle finish will live forever!!
What an electric performance, congrats again, and love the tip of the day in this one! 🔥
Sick performance. Well deserved Zach!
The emotions released at the top of the last boulder shows just how much work you put in it was epic to see. Your vids always make me extra hype to climb keep going my guy
Thanks for sharing this with us!
The effort that you put in paid off!
Revel in the dopamine for a while haha
Hope you enjoyed the time off too.
Welcome back!
Congrats Zach.
Beautiful video!! So many highlights to mention. Congratulations! Keep tearing up the cups this season. I cannot wait to see you in world cups in the future!!
Congrats on the extravagant performance Zac!! Now you just gotta replicate these performances for future comps and find your winning formula
👍👍👍
congratulations! so proud and psyched! thanks for all the wonderful advice and for sharing these amazing moments! You definitely have more super awesome, hype and mind-boggling comps in you!!!! LETS GOOO
😆😆❤️❤️
Your family is so damn cute! It was really emotional hearing them supporting you. Also, seeing the competition from your perspective was such an excellent video. Your words in the end are so wonderful. My Dad also always told me to do things I enjoy, like work and hobbies. And explained that success and failure are something we made up as humans, but it's a concept I don't have to follow. We are so much more accessible when we enjoy the progress and see every step as a success rather than focus on the end of the road.
Ahaha thank you!
That’s so great to hear! Yes it really is all about the journey and not the destination :)
such a good video. Very proud
Ily
I watched the semi-finals while making a coffee table, stopped to watch you & then screwed screws into this table during your rest. Watched the finals and was so hyped - especially on your last boulder, what a send, hahahahha. Was super hyped for you throughout the whole thing - great work! Where does that put us in the CA ranking ??? We into top 3 now? keep crushing, excited for the next cup!
Haha nice! Thank you!!!
Yeah I’m not sure- before the event I was in 5th and Matt was in 4th, I think we should be passing Sean any day now so we might move into 3rd & 4th. Because Matt also did well at this event I don’t think I’m actually going to pass him yet!
I’ll keep an eye out for the updated rankings and let you know in an upcoming episode!
@@richardsonsclimbing awesome :) 4th is pretty darn good. Makes sense on not passing Matt (for now ;)) Keep up the great work Zach! I know you'll be top 3 in no time.
This title, already so hyped...
Holy shit man, what a comp, massive congratulations dude!! Also to many more comps like this dude, you got it!!
Also ik we ain’t commenting on helmet girl but wtf she broke a brush at minute 27 lol
Definitely my favorite video. Almost like a movie. High level production
😆❤️
Zack Congrats!!! I can only imagine what it feels like to document something like that month after month and then get what you trained so hard for, its amazing
Haha yes it feels surreal!!
Wow I almost got choked up at the end here! Congrats Zach and thanks for everything
Ahh nice 😁 and thank you :) 🙏
I learned a ton from this video and it was so amazing watching you climb in person at finals
Nice that’s awesome!!! :) 🙏
nice second semi final block. You nailed the top tweak by going more statically.
So fuckin lit, congrats! This video was like a movie with the perfect ending
I 've been climbing for around 7 months now and I have to admit you 've helped me a lot when it comes to the way I face boulder problems in general and I think that's very important in order to move on and improve. You 've shown me how to think more logically, figure out the betas easier and not give up when something looks impossible but always try my best. You 'll smash the upcoming competition as well, no doubt about it. I 'll be waiting for updates, keep up the good work 😉
Yesss that’s awesome!! Glad to hear these videos are helpful!!
Oh yeah for sure I’m motivated for the next one 😎🙌
This video title has me excited to watch. Love following you guys along on your climbing journey.
:) 🙏🙏
been watching since germany, proud of you zach!
🙌🙌
holy fk the effort put into these! its like watching a movie
I was already thinking this video was crazy then i saw that last boulder.... Man... that energy puts tears in my eyes! Thank you for sharing this and keep at it man the training programs are paying off!
Ahhh yes!!! Thank you will do 🙏🙌
I've been watching most of the videos leading up to this event. It has been really nice to follow your whole process and it made the competition itself quite epic (especially that last one 😄)
Looking forward to see your next competitions
🙏🙌
Man I am following you for a while now even when you had only a few followers. I like the commentary and also the look behind the scenes. Keep up the great work!
Nice 😆
Wow Zach, just found your channel and I wanted to say your climbing is extremely inspiring to me. The mobility and hip power combined with extremely good route reading and creative beta. Super smart tactics and taking chances with maximum commitment. Just amazing.
😁🙏
Let’s go dude. I remember being at tourdebloc in langford last year and seeing you take the W then saw how easy you made the pink tapes at boulderhouse look. Big ups to you, keep crushing !!
:) ❤️
Congratulations Zach, what an amazing performance! I watched the live feeds but was very excited for this video - also amazing - to follow along with your thoughts. I liked the beta change in semi-M2, where on your send-go you placed your left foot higher up as a smear to balance the hand cross. Such a fun move to do. And of course final-M4 was super exciting and unique to see. Someone needs to make a top 10 of crazy comp boulder finishes - I bet this would get top spot haha. Well done and congrats again. 👍
Yes good catch on semi 2! I forgot to mention the important smear!
And thank you 🙏🙏
I was so happy seeing semi M2 live, not only did it pay off, it was the reason tou made finals :) also very funny how the casters thought you had tried many attemps bc ypu did it with so little time on the clock
Haha yes it really was the clutch moment of the whole comp!
Oh really nice 😂 I have to go watch the streams back soon!
This video was so much fun to watch and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the comp as well. Congrats! You are an amazing young man! And I appreciated the climbing to life advice. I'm new to indoor top rope climbing with the goal of going outdoor climbing with my son in Nevada. I'll yell off the top of the wall when it happens!
Thank you so much 😁🙏
Ahaha yess yelling at the top is the best feeling ;)
High level sport competition is a crazy thing. The line between having the worst moment of your life and the best moment of your life is so thin. 99.9% of the people would go on the worst moment side. The mental ability to stay on top is really what makes great athletes. Keep working hard man. Such a maturity at this age is also impressive.
Well said!
And thanks!!
congrats man. this fourth boulder was, i mean was like conquering the termopilas in the 300 movie. real battle:)
Zach Richardson: the most majestic of birds
Great work dude, very inspiring
🕊️🕊️
How does one achieve this type of competitive peak, ur the best dude, insane performance. Keep it up!
Haha you just have to taper your volume down when a competition is coming up! Then you should be feeling nice and fresh!
Amazing results and very nice to hear your insight on how things went. Hope to see you again at Rose Bloc soon and watch you flash my V8 project as I'm way too shy to ask you for beta 😂
Ahhh haha yeah back to rose soon! Always ask for beta 😎
31:19 the james richardson walk
For real 😎
recently on of the gyms in our town also aquired these no tex holds, and the word comically is quite accurate to describe their slippiness, i actually had a laugh attack haha :D what helped me get used to them was wiping them with paper towels from all the built up dust, chalk and sweat on them! but to have them in a comp round for the first time really is crazy. i just didnt realise they had nothing at all, i thought they had the pebbles, which you can see under the surface, but it is just flat and smotth as can be! and somehow slippier than no tex part of dual tex! proper respect to you for topping the boulder even though never having climbed on them!
Yes they are so crazy!! True that’s a good point I’ve heard from others that it’s definitely key to clean the holds! I wish I read up on the no text holds in advance haha
@@richardsonsclimbing haha yeah but i dont even know how you could clean them in a comp :D
I feel that people that will be interested in your videos / vlogs like that have for sure seen the comp or at the minimum are aware of the results. Trying to keep it "spoiler free" doesnt really make sense IMO :) Congratz for the results btw, your top of M4 was spectacular to see live !
Yeah true maybe its not necessary :)
And thanks!! 🙏
Idol.
Very well done and congraduations ;),
I don't completely get the inclusion of the no texture holds boulder in the semis . I'd think the semi's is mostly there to prepare and split the playing field for the finals so the gimmick introduced seems kinda random to me.
Did my own first 6b+ at my local gym this week after steadily becoming better/ more consistent at the 6b boulders. The random videos with also the training plan keeps me motivated to try and improve while going bouldering three times a week ^^ (tho I'll never reach top level)
Haha yeah I vote that the no tex holds just get banned altogether 😂
Glad to hear you feel the motivation 😎
I tired to watch the livestream for finals but I feel like the commentators were rly not great. At multiple points in the livestream they didn't even acknowledge the people getting tops, I was honesty blown away.
Yooo nice
a movie can be make out of this
47:00 lol dominant finish, bit of a stretch for sure
I was wondering if you would talk about the girl wearing the helmet. Brain injuries are no joke, glad to see her still climb.
22:01 I heard you can go without chalk to get good grip
Heyy Zach, I was wondering if you will come to Delire one day👀?
Yes! I was going to visit right after Vail but it looks like the schedule is full, so I will try to go after Ottawa NACS!
Nicee!
Maybe stupid question, but why is the girl next to you in semi finals wearing a helmet? Never seen this before in bouldering🙈 greetings from Germany 👋🏻
Zach explained it in the vid! It's because of a recent head injury, insane she's competing nonetheless.
29:10
Yep she suffered from a concussion!
