Seems like there’s a lot of confusion in the comments, but in the first clip the climber did NOT hit her face on the volume, it was a ‘close call’ and she was completely fine

[Slippin_Jimmy_]

Commentator: "She's good at resting"
Me: "You know, I'm something of a climber myself"

[Oshidorinohina]

I feel like there is a missed opportunity for the late 80s and early 90s to make a drama style movie out of competitive rock climbing. Complete with rivals, heartbreak and intense slow motion muscle shots with an added bonus of feathered mullets.

[NicolasDelfino]

Me : not interested by climbing competitions
Youtube : Yes you are
Me : now, yes I am

10:45
Commentor: as you can see, we put some support bolts near her so that she can step on them to make the rout easier.
The bolts: *a slight bump in the wall*

[staticalphabetsoup]

She reached to chalk her hands, no chalk bag. She even shook her hand off. This lady chalked her hands on pure will despite literally having no chalk.

[RedX]

I saw that last clip live. The commentators didn't even notice the chalk bag fall and it annoyed me so much that they weren't blown away like I was at what she was doing

[infinity]

It's a well known fact that regular physics doesn't apply anymore during climbing competitions

[graveram]

That announcer falling off his chair and just explaining the whole fiasco had me in tears lmaooo

[themasterofpotatoes]

I must say, I really appreciate the empathy these commentators show, it makes me feel more invested in the climbers struggle and also explain the technical part of the activity.

[shaggy_porpiose]

climbers are literally super human, like I cannot fathom how some of these people do this

[Bobw]

What am I doing here? YouTube wants me to pick new hobbies or what? First lock picking and now rock climbing? I'll be another person at the end of this quarantine. A burglar!

[memyselfandi]

Can we all just take a moment to be in awe of Mia Krampl topping that climb with an injured knee? That's some serious badassery right there.

[j_fenrir]

Damn, im a novice climber, only level 2 nicas, and i actually cannot fathom how these climbers are doing this. This is, INSANE. I have so much respect for advanced climbers, they fight through hundreds of injuries, grab onto ingraspable things and generally give the middle finger to physics. I want to be this good someday

[damarh]

watching juji, tom and magnus... does weird things to your youtube recommendation.

[Mk_Jetta]

"Cool moments in climbing competitions" girl practically breaks nose within 10 seconds

[marcelovillalva]

I watched almost all of those live and when Mia Krampl topped that red boulder with an injured knee I was crying, it was brutal and heroic how she fought through the pain. And the last one Janja the only top without her chalkbag

[peachfreude]

4:20 i really love bat hang, thats so cool

[azzcoopz]

Strength, flexibility, stamina, agility, accuracy, power and decision making all in one, it’s like a very hard mental puzzle mixed with a extremely athletic sport, so much respect for these climbers

Cool moments: "Well, the producer broke this chair and he didn't tell me so I've been sitting on a half-broken chair"
