    There's a ton of climbing content out there on youtube these days, but to me, yours always stands out. Hard climbing with a sprinkle of your deadpan humour. 10/10 thanks for doing this

    Thank you for sharing this. I think its Important to see how much time, failure and frustration is needed to send a hard route. Thats how we get better 💪🏻 Appreciate the small steps

    Love it when the best climbers in the world show us their struggles! Wish more pros would do this. The send only comes after hard work and dedication. Thanks, Alex!

    Thanks Alex I liked that video, your resilience and humour came through very well , that’s why you have many fans around the world.

    It's awesome seeing someone as strong as Alex having a tough go at the bouldering. Nice reminder that it happens to everyone, and not just us V6 normies!!

    Great video! Thanks for sharing. I think all climbers know that feeling of failure and frustration. On top of this when your buddy is on the sending train. Hope you have a good time in Ticino anyways!

    I think there's more footage in the world of Alex taping his fingers than there is footage of me, ever.

    Great video Alex! I always enjoy your content.
    I had a similar experience this past month. My climbing was horribly, I felt disconected from my hands and feet, I kept dry firing and slipping off everything. It was confusing because I felt strong, I was training well, and eating well and nothing seems out of place. Anyway, I went of vacation and upon returning I started climbing hard again. I don't know exactly what it was, but I'm pretty sure I was just in my head way too much. Anyway, like Yannick said you will get this climbs next time!

  • @AllegraClimbingPsychologist
    @AllegraClimbingPsychologist Год назад +6

    "Good pocket" he sais 🤣 Jokes apart, it's amazing when you see the frustration on the face of a pro climber. It really reminds me that we are all going through the same process (although with different resources). This is the inevitable step we need to go trhough to get over our limits. The question is for how long are we able to endure it!

  • @Lhistoiresansfin-cg2iw

    Clearly Yannick has found a better secret carrot stash ... this time. 🙂
    Psyched to go and fail on something harder now .. (rather than continuing to try things that just go too easily) .. thanks.

    @aidanscarffe5256 Год назад +1

    Thanks for sharing, climbing can be a frustrating sport but thats what makes it rewarding! Really enjoy you talking about projects, e.g alphane + your project in the red and getting a better understanding how hard they are and how you train for them.

  • @daveblack2602
    @daveblack2602 Год назад +1

    Great video! Failing IS the game. Failing is improving. Failing is training. Failing is walking in, hanging out, sessions and attempts with our friends. Failing is playing - and sending is ending. When you send, it's over (for now). We've all felt that when we send a project, we're stoked to succeed then we realise the game is over and we need to start a new game.

    Appreciate the video, don't always see the trips where you come up empty handed even though failure is a core part of climbing.

    This is so refreshing Alex, thank you!
    Way more motivating than just showing the send go. Our generation thinks that everything should come quickly to us. No, we need to work to achieve what we want. It takes time and determination to get back up and try again

    Hey Alex if you ever feel frustrated climbing just remember you’ve done Lucid Dreaming and sent in a flow state that is to date the most impressive feat of climbing I’ve ever seen ;)

    Thanks for sharing also all those attempts and the split finger (or was this on insta). I was lately diagnosed a tendon aggrevation / inflamation and the doc told me not to climb until it's fully cured. 4-6 weeks expected. It is time for the taping video!
