Super nice to see men and women on the same boulders for once, great climbing from everybody involved

The true skill ceiling of climbing may never be unlocked. Watching some of the best in the world get sat by a hard route is a good reminder of the potential that is still out there! Love it Toby!

[darcangelomauro]

This has got to be the best climbing channel right now. Hard climbing, dry commentary, no bullshit, love it

[liangfamily]

Dam, who's editing this video, its amazing... Great commentary too!

[oderiest]

Toby this is so good, such a privilege to peek behind the scenes of a training session with this crew! Would have loved to hear some of the original audio as well to hear more of the vibes and banter, but this is ace as it is!

I was here on this day.. imagine the bewilderment you might feel walking into one of your local gym's and as you put your bags down, you look around and see some of the worlds top pro's sessioning boulders and bloc's... 🤯🤯 Epic

Great vid Toby! Really enjoyed this one, some reallly nice climbing on display there & that gold moment.... 😮🔥🤘🏼😁

[driesvanoosten]

Wow, seeing your Brixen top again. What a legendary moment that was. Truly inspiring!

Fantastic editing. Katsu is a legend. A few years back watching him testing the setting at Ogikubo was mind-blowing. His knowledge of movement possibilities is second to none.

[filodambrosio]

This must be one of the best climbing videos on YouTube, keep up the great work Toby!

[jimrummy]

this should be a TV show. Such a great spectator format -

[Zabucracker]

Watching this before a boulder session with friends gets me incredibly pumped! Also makes my hands sweaty, so I need to bring extra chalk...

[DasTeehaus]

Probably the best indoor bouldering video I've seen!

[jjimena]

Stacked crew. Good vibes. Great editing and commentary as always, it seems you've found the sweet spot between professional and casual.
