Huge thank you to Eric for filming, The North Face for hosting the competition (and everyone involved) and to Altitude for sponsoring the video. Check out altitudeclimbing.com/emil to get access to their free mini-training on fear of falling as well as the fear assessment test!
It's finally live! I had so much fun filming this together with Emil and meeting up with everyone again! :D Next year we will get Emil into the Dyno Comp!
Ah cheers man, if there’s any legend here it’s the mad man who just burnt off a bunch of pro climbers 👀 by the way, check your bloody WhatsApp! got fun plans in the making
The fact that you're so amazing at climbing and you're terrified of heights, makes me feel a bit relieved and makes me believe that I will get better at managing my fear of heights
I've been anticipating this video since I watched this competition and saw that @EmilAbrahamsson competed in it. Mad respect for you showing us your fears and working through them. I'm very inspired by your work, your teachings, and your ambitions. Thank you for posting this video and giving us a glimpse through your eyes. Idk if I'll ever do a deep water solo, but this looked like one of the coolest comps ever. Congrats on a job well done. Cheers
Great film, Emil! Loved your honesty in this one, and great interactions with Bob (and everyone else, of course!). And as ever, beautifully filmed by Eric.
great vid, got to see you filming at tch reading about a month ago whilst preping for a comp (ycs round 1) which i came 2nd in, thanks for the great video and training tips.
Sush a great video! Seen all the other videos from this competition and non of them came close to this one. Great editing, filming and story telling throughout.
I'm afraid of heights too. Went to a climbing gym for the first time last month. One of the boulders had one of those protrusions from the wall so couldn't climb halfway down to jump off. I was petrified and could feel my arms getting weaker. I finally jumped after what felt like eternity. I'd think I'd be fine over the water, but it does look pretty damn high so maybe not
I'm also very scared of height's. When I try to climb huge tree's I can't go further I stop at the middle cause it's really scary but I'll try altitude course to see how it goes. BTW sorry for the late comment. Love you Emil abrahamsson. I'm glad that toby was there. As a parkour enthusiast and climber this was Soo good ❤
I am also afraid of heights but i seek that thrill. I have a bit of a theory, i think people that have a bit of that fear and learn to overcome it likely gets a bigger adrenline rush then those who don't. in fact i think you need a little fear to drive you to keep going back. If you had no fear, you would not find it thrilling, and you would likely not find it as enjoyable. At least that's my theory. I not super duper afraid of heights but i am, but i've climbed anyway ever since i was a kid, and i love roller coasters and other things that bring back that fear. I used to work in roofing/construction and everytime i'd get on that roof it would take me 10-15 minutes to acclimate and not feel like world is spinning around me, getting back on the ladder back down is even worst for me then going up, but i dealt with it, and honestly that fear also helps keep you in check, make sure you respect the danger and make sure to stay safe.
Not really, he climbs a lot less then he does his storror videos, most pro climbers train for multiple hours nearly everyday, he is doing awesome. Outstanding overall athlete ❤
I see Toby, I click! Although I watch all of your videos without Toby too, so maybe I need to watch this twice to let the algorithm know I really like this stuff 🤣
So for people watching, if you ever jump off of a ledge like the slip he shows throughout the video into water: A: Do NOT put your arms out to your side- they're gonna slam into the water and it's not gonna feel good. Keep them flat on your body either to the side, folded over your chest, or reaching straight above your head. You want your body to be as slim/pencil-like as possible to easier break the surface tension of the water. B: Do NOT bend your legs at the hip or at the knees. I know there may be temptation to do a cannonball, but at that speed water is just going to shoot up your bum with the force of a thousand Sunny Ds and right out your mouth.
Hey Emil, idk if you'll see this comment but I'm desperately trying to find one of your videos where you showed some of your notes on paper when projecting hard boulders, do you have an idea which video it might be?
@@matschbirne5363 Also to allow the climbers to see where the water is more clearly especially when the water is still, hard to tell when you'll actually hit it
@@matschbirne5363 It has nothing to do with surface tension. Surface tension is a totally neglegible force on this scale. It is BARELY strong enough to hold up a paperclip. So what hurts when you fall on water is the water being dense and inelastic, so when you fall on it you have to displace it, accelerate it, and that way forces act on your body. The reason is what BobMarley said.
I hate how dramatic you've made DWS with your title. IMO Bouldering indoors is more dangerous than this, because you're more likely to roll an ankle, fall on your arm badly, etc.

It's speed dynos. 🤨

Ooft wicked production and big ups on the feature u legend ❤
Ah cheers man, if there’s any legend here it’s the mad man who just burnt off a bunch of pro climbers 👀 by the way, check your bloody WhatsApp! got fun plans in the making
Man, I watched like six videos about this comp and your was definitely the best one. Not just a vlog of the comp days, but with a real storyline.
Haha yeah I feel a bit late to the publishing party 😅 happy you enjoyed it!
Oh, is this where Toby was when Max and Josh were getting stung by wasps in Glasgow.
This is great.
Going in the water in rivers in the UK is more scary than climbing a wall right now.
Definitely my fave vid from this comp. Props to you and the king EK behind the camera!!!!
Supercool to meet you in person at the event! thanks for saying hello and the short chat, even if you were mid warm-up 😃
Any time! Hope I wasn’t panicking too hard 😅
@@EmilAbrahamsson cool, calm and collected 😁
Great narration! Super captivating and I was so happy to see Toby in the video especially to see Toby win the comp! Great job
Toby Segar's face in the thumbnail clever :) nice vid
I got a chance to climb this wall in Montreal. It’s SO FUN and SO FRIGGIN SCARY. Happy you got to do this Emil!
The fact that you're so amazing at climbing and you're terrified of heights, makes me feel a bit relieved and makes me believe that I will get better at managing my fear of heights
Sam giving me shade 😂 (he was right though😅). Awsome video Emil!
Thanks Josh, it was nice seeing you scared senseless!

Great film, Emil! Loved your honesty in this one, and great interactions with Bob (and everyone else, of course!). And as ever, beautifully filmed by Eric.
Emil in the UK, yes boys!
Was a great trip, for sure going back soon!
I really wanted to try this. Clicked for Toby
Congrats to the editor, the look and color of the videos is perfect.
That was so fun too watch! Love the chill vibes of you all just hanging around and getting mad excited about the climb!
This is the best video about this comp. The grade doesn't matter - so cool to see you doing something scary and triumphing over it 💪
great vid, got to see you filming at tch reading about a month ago whilst preping for a comp (ycs round 1) which i came 2nd in, thanks for the great video and training tips.
Congrats mate, that’s awesome!
Sush a great video! Seen all the other videos from this competition and non of them came close to this one. Great editing, filming and story telling throughout.
Pushing through the fear of heights/falling is hard, I am working on it myself when climbing outdoors.
Great vid Emil! 😄 (And Eric, of course!😊)
So glad to finally see your POV of this event!
I'm afraid of heights too. Went to a climbing gym for the first time last month. One of the boulders had one of those protrusions from the wall so couldn't climb halfway down to jump off. I was petrified and could feel my arms getting weaker. I finally jumped after what felt like eternity. I'd think I'd be fine over the water, but it does look pretty damn high so maybe not
So proud of you for facing your fear and topping out man. That was fucking sick
I'm also very scared of height's. When I try to climb huge tree's I can't go further I stop at the middle cause it's really scary but I'll try altitude course to see how it goes.

I can't be sure but I think Emil is sponsored by TNF. Can't be too sure but I think he was wearing some TNF gear, maybe some socks ...
Super cool that they're doing stuff like this in London.
I didn't know.

I have a bit of a theory, i think people that have a bit of that fear and learn to overcome it likely gets a bigger adrenline rush then those who don't. in fact i think you need a little fear to drive you to keep going back.

Terrifying competition, great video 😮🎉❤
TOBBY IS THE GOAT .....❤ IN PARKOUR AND CLIMBING TOO🎉
Great video Emil.
I mean at this point toby is a professional climber aswell
Not really, he climbs a lot less then he does his storror videos, most pro climbers train for multiple hours nearly everyday, he is doing awesome. Outstanding overall athlete ❤
@@The_Average_climber "Professional" does not refer to amount of time spent.
yes pretty much
I see Toby, I click! Although I watch all of your videos without Toby too, so maybe I need to watch this twice to let the algorithm know I really like this stuff 🤣
Holly shitI i would never! not even for ice cream
Hey I competed in a similar comp over here in Canada! The pressure is definitely different with no rope haha.
Best video from this event
I loved this weekend. I see myself in this video hahaha
this looks so fun but I'd be way to scared to try I'm terrified of hights and only at v4+ boulders
you did great man!
18meters is crazy
my states biggest walls are 14m
keep up the sick videos
Great video Emil!
At 1:08 I was really expecting a "because I can't swim" 😅
Good shit. Toby is the goat!
looking forward to your video about blocparty i copenhagen!
segar kicking ass again
Another banger video! Now the boulder Josh and Jonathan made for you makes more sense 😂
I’d love to see a collab with Wirtual (trackmania RUclipsr who lives in Sweden now) and also does some climbing.
So for people watching, if you ever jump off of a ledge like the slip he shows throughout the video into water:
A: Do NOT put your arms out to your side- they're gonna slam into the water and it's not gonna feel good. Keep them flat on your body either to the side, folded over your chest, or reaching straight above your head. You want your body to be as slim/pencil-like as possible to easier break the surface tension of the water.
B: Do NOT bend your legs at the hip or at the knees. I know there may be temptation to do a cannonball, but at that speed water is just going to shoot up your bum with the force of a thousand Sunny Ds and right out your mouth.
Toby is a different breed
Killing it!
Came for the competition, stayed for the Sam and Josh beef 😤
Like a bunny on cocaine? LOL
I'm an intermediate level climber and I'm terrified of heights as well.
that top out makes me dizzy just watching yall do it
Is there a video from you of this previous north face challenge/dam climbing event ?
There’s one over in Bouldering Bobat of me climbing it with Tom! I didn’t make a video from it
🗽 Climbing actually a lead route free solo looks scary to me. To fall from 15 meters is not safe!
.
Great reunion
I am subscribed to you and storrer
ross spotted! 15:43
Coleman still climbs 😮!!
crazy emil!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i also considered deep water solo but then cancelled my plan because its scary and water is cold
Hey Emil, idk if you'll see this comment but I'm desperately trying to find one of your videos where you showed some of your notes on paper when projecting hard boulders, do you have an idea which video it might be?
Not enough The North Face labels on your clothes and gear 😁
Same fear index as Emil 😂
❤
i think you should have titled the video "i also filmed a video at the north face competition"
Hi Eric!
I wonder who his sponsor is
how tall are you
Are you northface athlete now emil?
Does anyone know why they’re spraying a firehose into the water under the wall?
Less surface tension. Smaller risk of injury

Most dangerous climbing competition 😂😂😂
Grow a pair!
I'd actually love to know if this event was sponsored by a big brand.. I can't see any subtle advertising or anything like that.. super curious!

First 👀
Almost, still early gang mvp
@EmilAbrahamson are you gonna make a vid about blocparty Hvidovre?
