My boyfriend loved your outfit in this video! Would you share where you got your pants from?
@@AmandaEssel-vh4wi They are by Rúngne Apparel.
@@AmandaEssel-vh4withat’s nice to hear! The pants are by Rungne, highballer pants is what they’re called. I love them for climbing and everyday life! In case you/he do decide to buy them use the code “EMIL” for 15% off the purchase 😊
I think that Carl not being familiar with routesetting allowed him to set a boulder outside of what is normally set which is really cool!
Emil has never looked so short in a video 😂😂
have you WATCHED the grip strength competition? :D
😂
We're always super excited to see people get inspired and creative with our holds! Big thanks to Emil for taking time to visit us in the workshop to understand our vision and process💚
And Carl? He's a Natural... 😏
Carl: "Can you jump on this? I guess you can. You can do anything. Super Emil"
Later
Emil: "I'll try one more time, but it was hard to get"
Carl: *Looks to camera* "He can do it"
Get youself a friend like Carl 💪
I think seeing Carl (or another beginner) set a boulder without giving him a specific hold set just letting him choose holds in the storage room would be a cool follow up. All in all a really cool concept.
Oh yeah that's sound so cool
Yeah, and they should also try to invent names for the different holds!
So at my gym there has actually been an event where people could try out route setting. It was like a competition where we set boulders and customers could vote for them.
I really enjoyed it and the results were actually pretty cool.
Your best weird concept video ever. as a professional route setter I found this very engaging.
That was shockingly good from an inexperienced setter. Having seen a lot of new setters try to set above their abilities while working as a setter (myself included) most of the "hard" moves are hard because they are garbage, this actually looks genuinely interesting to climb. Win to Carl!
Funny how that mimics outdoor climbing more than a professional set 😅
What I think is so interesting is how he unconsciously or unintentionally mixed several different climbing and movement styles, which is something you almost never see in a gym. Super dope.
Totally agree
I agree. Too often setters have one really cool core goal and build the problem around that. This Boulder was like 3 different problems / styles in one. I actually think he is more creative because his mind is more open because he knows nothing 😂. Make sense?
As both a game dev and an occasional routesetter, I find the links between game design theory and routesetting fascinating. Routesetters usually come from a strictly climbing background and I think lessons from game making about finding flow, fun and difficulty are highly applicable to making boulders. Climbing is basically a puzzle game with your body and as such there are mechanics to learn and carry along as you climb up (haha) the grades.
Being a good routesetter involves being a good climber yes but it's more so about putting your heart into creating something fun and creative for others to solve. It's game making and it's awesome. I think the emotional and selfless aspect of setting really shows in this video 😄
Great job Emil (and Carl) ! Dope videos, dope holds, you never miss 👏
I was gonna say something like this too but noticed your comment. 100% agree, interestingly enough projecting a climb has some similarities to bug fixing i.e. not always sure what's wrong but continuously try to solve the issue(s) you have in order to achieve success 😂😂
As a fairly experienced route setter myself i found this fascinating. For me, whenever I set a boulder I am always thinking about how a climber will move in each position, how every move is gonna feel, how cool/fun/hard all the moves are, etc. There have been times in my setting career where I have felt almost stuck, like having a hard time coming up with new and interesting moves. It was awesome for me to watch this because it seemed like Carl wasn't thinking about any of that but still set some really cool moves almost by accident. Love it 🤘
I thought he called this 'The Monsterpiece' and that is a fabulous name
Carl was a great dude for this concept!
Also total game designer move to accidentally create "THE MASTERPIECE" :D
Wow it is insane that he nailed the difficulty immediately. What grade would you estimate it?
It's not up anymore but if I'm not mistaken it was put as 7c
@@Angus_fO I was under the impression of 7C/+ from how it looked in the video!
V8-V9 depending on your size. My friend is 5' 7". I can imagine that first move being much harder than V8
We need to see Carl at the next comp setting!
honestly carls looked really fun to watch, I think in some sense not having has good idea of what technical things the boulderer would need to do made for a kind of abnormal problem solving /movement that looked really cool.
This climb looks legit better set than half the boulders at my gym. From someone who doesn't even really climb, has never set before, with minimal help. Wow.
New haircut looks awesome on you, Emil!
Thanks homie!
I love those wood/stone holds but they’re often set on higher level climbs and I’m just now beginning to be able to use them 1:09 . Definitely wish more setters used a variety of holds at all skill levels
That’s a shame. I’m sure if you asked the setters to put them up on a few easier climbs they wouldn’t mind?
Carl needs to join you on more climbing - He is hilarious and awesome
Damn that was way cooler than I would have expected. Love the mix of powerful and technical climbing, very common on outdoor boulders.
Banger video and banger boulder, honestly I like it more than yours but I hate overhangs ahah.
My only regret was to not get other routesetters opinions on it, what - if anything - they would tweak.
Really cool climb for his first set! Great job Karl!
I love how you're supporting people in their endeavors - Carl with his game and Mads with his unique holds.
man i love the nature holds they look so clean
i haven't thought about rock climbing in years and just found out about a climbing gym in my neighborhood. this connection between rock climbing and game design made me really think about why i enjoyed it back in the day, and i think having these technical puzzles in front of me would be a fun and rewarding hobby for me.
thank you for sparking my childhood memories, emil. i hope to learn more about climbing from you in the future :)
Wow, that was so interesting! Please do another video with Carl. Love his personality.
Carl did an amazing job!! I would struggle with this challenge and I’ve been climbing for a long time. He absolutely crushed it.
I kinda like his line a lot. This feeling is exactly why I like setting problems on the Kilter Board and spray walls.
Genuinely pleasantly surprised. A great sort of outdoor style boulder. Super impressed👍
Carl's technical masterpiece is my favorite. This was a great video to watch.
That was super interesting. I think for pure enjoyment, I would be really into the dynamic one you’ve set, Emil. I can see myself and my buddies taking turns on that dyno, pumping each other up and just having a blast. Carl’s boulder would definitely be a fun project if I was trying to level up and just try to push myself. I would t say it would be an enjoyable boulder, but definitely one of those problems where I’d be super stoked to have conquered.
Woah such a cool video! I honestly liked the second boulder more, which totally surprised me. And he barely used the lifelines, only really Cordy suggesting the second part was a little too easy. Very interesting!
Emil, I'm loving the shirt you and Felix have on! Could you please share where you got it? Thanks
That first move looks beautiful. That's some high quality setting
Wow, already the first move is so sick! Great job.
Super impressed ny this set from Carl. I'm envious of his creativity!
I absolutely love the Nature Climbing holds and their other products! Such a cool concept and amazing video.
Amazing holds, like bouldering on the rock. I hope to see them in the UK gyms soon!
I guess I've started my descent into climbing. It always looked cool, but now that I've watched a couple of your videos, I'll definitely try it out at some point. Very interesting stuff!
That's something you'll never regret!
@@nosreuter yeah, I bet. I've been looking for a good and entertaining way to start being active, and what better way than climbing.
This was great! Super nice to see Carl's thought process and the final piece was really surprising and technical! Loved the video dynamic
Karl for a win! Awesome looking moves without any priot experience. Good job!
I love these setting videos. Carl did an amazing job.
Love the editing style and videography! Keep it up Emil!
Such an amazing idea Emil
Love to see setting content, and love this idea in particular
Thank you Nature Climbing for those nice looking holds!
Awesome video as always! Everything was perfect 😍
Totally entertaining. Thanks for the good work.
I want more about setting, please!!
Super well-done by carl! I've taught a lot of new climbers how set and their first boulder usually doesn't go very well.
Really cool concept for a video, Emil. This was fun to watch, especially as someone who wants to give setting a go.
I'm so impressed what a great looking boulder!
This turned out so well!! Carl's problem looks like a ton of fun.
Really enjoyed this, PLEASE make this a series!!!! "People who have never set make a boulder for me"
Very cool setting
Very fun episode! Liked Carl his vibe
"aj will eeeh, traj maj haardest"
FINALLY a proper Swedish accent 😍😍😍
this was a cool concept for a video!!
This is one of the funniest videos I've watched in a while, it's just so wholesome
What an awesome idea! Carl is super sympathic!
Those holds are beautiful!
I want to see more carl! Awesome video, awesome boulders
This was such a fun video!
Great content!
Awesome vid! As a new climber I would love to set my own boulder and really fun to see the thought process go into it when you haven’t done it before 😊
Great video!
More Carl! a lot of fun to watch
I can really see his background on game design being useful for routesetting. In both areas you're supposed to create challenging and engaging problems, loved the video
Great video! Carls boulder looked super cool
such a sick vid!
Banger concept that
That route was epic. Looks super fun and challenging to climb.
So fun! I was smiling throughout the whole video :))
I've been climbing for about 5 years, still I'm not sure I could set a boulder myself, so pretty impressive Carl!
Really cool video Emil, I think Carls boulder was really good for him never building anything before
cordie is so cool, i love her in videos!! ❤
bruh techy masterpiece all day, props to both!!
To be honest I will set this pinch move tomorrow. I love it
This was really cool to see as someone who sets but struggles setting outside their limit because I can't test all the moves. Great video, also those holds are amazing!
Would I walk into the gym would be psyched to see Carls boulder. The transition from compressed overhang to slab is my kind of jam :D
What a beautifully structured challenge for all parties.
A masterpiece indeed.
What an interesting and funny video idea 😍😂
This was such a fun video. I'd love to see a follow-up with a couple people of different experience levels (never climbed, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc), and have them each set a boulder. Then have a few route setters pick their favorite!
Bring back Carl!!! This video was incredibly entertaining. Nice job guys!
Really cool video 👍
boy is this a cool video concept. Carl definitely helped by being pretty smart himself
Carl’s boulder absolutely slaps!
We need more Carl!
Emil doing the Jim from the office face quite a bit in this one
P.s. great video, really interesting concept
Amazing
great video
Cool video. I like how random it sort of feels.
that's awesoooome
we love to see it!
That was a technical challange made by a new routesetter. Looked very challangeing due to techicality. Well done Carl. The dynamic route Emil made was fun to watch as well, but seeing the difference in the two shows a wide range of challanges.
Fun video, I am a beginner and I think it would be really fun to try route setting.
Please, Emil, make that video with Carl!🙌 It sounds like it would be a fascinating exploration of the relationship between strength 💪 on one hand, and experience on the other.
More Carl!!!!!
