  This is brilliant - the video comparison should be a series. Eye opening seeing a direct comparison and analysis between two climbers really makes taking away workable ideas so much easier.

  Definitely would have liked to see Sam's follow-up attempts after seeing Louis' betas.

  I'm confused. If he's the camera man, who's filming?😂

  Please make this a series! <br>This is so interesting and helpful as an intermediate climber! ☺️<br>Maybe even on harder (over the limit) boulders.<br>Seeing a pro do a hard climbs sometimes looks so easy and doable. So having a „normal“ climber to compare and pick apart is super interesting!

  Highest Grade: V8<br>Weight on 20mm edge for 5 sec: 170% (105 lbs added)<br>Hopefully this helps with your data collection :)

  You talk about being able to use confident, riskier beta because of experience and better strength. That reminded me of something my friend once said about gymnastics. <br>&quot;If you have technique, you don&apos;t need to use strength, but strength helps you get technique.&quot;

  This is the type of content that makes me so enthusiastic to improve. Although I try to record my projects to look for bad technique I can improve, there must be so many things I must miss because of lack of experience or knowledge. would love to see more of this so I can apply it to my own mistakes!!

  Loved this. I&apos;d love to see someone climbing who is weak and how to overcome that (aside from get stronger!). &nbsp;I can&apos;t hang on the 20mm edge at all nor do any pull ups, but I climb at V3 or maybe techy V4s. Sometimes it feels like very strong people just don&apos;t realise how much they can &apos;just pull up&apos; when it&apos;s needed.

  Highest grade: V9<br>Total weight on 20mm lattice test rung for 10s: 183% (+60kg)<br>I think that would work out to ~190% for 5s on the BM1000 edges<br>Really nice to see the small differences!

  I climb V8 outside and Sam has better finger strength than me lol (20mm for 5 with 25kgs = 135%)

  As a fellow tall V3-V4 Sam, definitely would love to see more Sam on the channel!

  it would be nice to see Sam trying the boulders with the new aproach, and see how much he can improve just by changing small things, not just by geting stronger.
