Shawn is weirdly chill for an American?
Is this the one that James Pearson flashed years ago?
Free Hueco! Now remastered and free from Reel Rock with Sharma repeating Slashfacehttps://watch.reelrocktour.com/videos/free-hueco-2023-remasterInteresting to see the close spotting techniques, don't think people spot like that any more due to the increased number of pads
May have missed elsewhere, but enjoyed this
But that product placement did give me a good laugh ("I feel tired"... immediate cut to drinking tenzing). I get why it's there, and it's better than an actual ad, but it really did jar with the rest of the video

Sort of saying 'this is the advert bit, we're only drinking Tenzing because we're getting paid'.

What climbing channels do you follow? I find most if not all of them pretty annoying because of the YouTuber persona they adopt; Lattice, Wideboyz etc. Mellow and Wedge do good problem footage I guess and don't go in for the gimmicks that so many channels are guilty of.

Ondra and Dave Mac both have quality channels. Stefano's can be good but occasionally he gets a bit too youtube. These are generally obvious from the thumbnail. Same goes for Emil Abrahamsson. Shawn Raboutou has started vlogging, but his personality seems to be very non-youtube and he clearly finds it a bit awkward, so these are fun. Based on Bosi's latest vid it looks like he might be starting to do something a bit more than standard beta vids too. Edit: how could I forget Doylo's masterpieces!
That is sorbet reason that I give up on videos/channels.
