Best not fall then
@@veganbunny1802 and how to get down if the only option is to jump ?

@@navinashokswaminathan3996 you’re talking like climbing down a climb is just as easy as climbing up when it’s not. That’s probably close to impossible to down climb unless you use the railings in the back which is probably against the rules for “safety reasons”.
let's not forget she's THIRTEEN. she was only a preteen last year.
peacetea1001 ikr she's so good
Lydia tea haha you suck a math.
Fly beep, at the time of this video Aishima might be 13 or 14. Currently Aishima is 17 years old. And Emily Harrington is 32 ?
@@danpt2000 correct
Children’s fear factor is the size of a pea that’s why they aren’t as scared of much yet and they think they can do anything
Am I the only one who thought: "man, if they fall, all that chalk is going into the water"
tch204 no your not the only one
Absolutely not, emily spent more time reaching for the chalk bag than climbing, that chalk is the only thing she thought about lmao
I think there’s a special type of chalk
you make me laugh
Nope. You are definitely not the only one.
Damn that pressure to jump with a spotlight, an audience and a heckling commentator at 13 years old. That must have been brutal haha
She's 13?!......wow
Ha ha, yeah I could imagine Emily was not too impressed trying to concentrate on climbing and in the back of her mind thinking 'Wait did this f****r just call me old?'
Heckling? The commentary sounded very encouraging.
Tuff kid
my hands and feet were sweating this whole time it was crazy!
lol i thought it was just me
same here!
Haha, so weird! My hands and feet never sweat but they just were
yea my hands started sweat..
Same
Their should be stairs on the other side
dayna stewart lol
or a slide :D
Or a slide cause stairs, she would need a wheelchair if she comes down on stairs from that high. Or maybe a lift
Or a slide
There are. Some of the climbers didn't want to be peer pressured into jumping and they took the easy way down (ladder and stairs).
when ashima was trying to figure out on how to fall, i felt so scared for her, that's pretty high height to fall from!
That announcer's pretty annoying.
And the stupid announcer made it far more difficult. Shut the f*ck up you God damn idiot and let the kid have a moment to think.
And she’s tiny. Made me madddd
@@dialecticalmonist3405 Hell yeah she was only 13 back in time.
Was that the first time she fell into water? I thought she must have done it before
I'm guessing intentionally trying to fall goes completely against her instincts! SOMEONE GIVER HER SOME STAIRS.
erika erika there are behind the wall. She just didn’t want to take them for the fun of it
I was wondering the same thing....she just can't fall!!!
I know right. Kinda rude honestly given that she made it to the top.
Irresponsible people who made this event, they thought no women can climbed all the way up.
@@headphonic8 There were no stairs...
My hands are getting sweaty just watching them!
Yeah my hands too 😅
+eburns0416 Haha yep same
eburns0416 SAME I'm a climber but I'm not that good!!!😂😂
eburns0416 same
eburns0416 omg same!
There should have been a better way to get down from the top. Pretty sure a fall from that height could injure you if you don't fall correctly.
+MixNMatchName theyre at a very high level, thats part of the danger in the sport, I'm sure they're all trained how to fall properly.
it's not a jungle gym, these are worlds level athletes guys, they all obviously feel safe enough to compete there
Being scared of falling is what helps you not fall
some climbers have fallen from the over hang and landed wrong and busted their ear drum
They should have a ladder or stairs to get down
Awww poor aishima!!! I wanted to hug her.....it is so high!!!
Vanillabean ik ik same and the thing is that she was 14 when that competition happened. And Emily Harrington was 28!
How high is it?
Ashima is amazing. 13 years old and she made it over the wall--beating an older climber with a lot more experience!
To be honest, kids have more potential at these things because of their strength/bodysize proportion
Kids are far more spry than adults, they have similar reaches. Honestly the kid has the advantage.
That's amazing, even they lack mental physical experience.
Theres a 30ft drop into foam at my current gym and I literally have to just wait until my arms tire to drop because my brain locks up my body so I physically cant let go. Like your instinct kicks in 100% to prevent you from so easily letting go
This is why I only do top rope lol
If I was at the top which is never going to happen but I had to jump down into the water I would be like, screw this get a helicopter, get the military, a ladder but I ain't jumping down.
Same here....the military😂😂
@Ban the CCP "How did you get up here?" "Oh I used the stairs" "Can I..." "NO!"
Which is why this will never be a situation for you...
That announcer's pretty annoying.
+Chrewdog yeah...
Chrewdog I men’s it’s kinda his job🤷🏻♀️
Chrewdog agreed
It's his job to be a dick?
thats not joe rogan dude... not even close...I vote for the slide down idea...these arent professional divers...theyre climbers.
Geez announcer, it's not like rock climbers jump down without safety harness from a high cliff
ZestySauze we’ll both climbers did because otherwise there would’ve not been a pool and they would’ve slowed down.
u was at the club
cutesteunha bottoms up when i first met you
Ashima: "I thought the idea was NOT to fall!"
The reason she is good at climbing is that the software in her brain won't allow her to fall. Now to ask her to fall needed a system shut down. That's why it took so much time.
Have you seen her swimming? She is just a very bad swimmer. The "natural instinct" isnt the problem
@@subrahmanyantolman6295 I've seen professional swimmers who haven't high dived get nervous when they are high up. It's the height, not the fear of drowning
@@Kolazola As you can see I said she's a poor swimmer. A professional swimmer would never forget how to swim
I had the same thought, that it must be very hard, psychologically, for a professional climber to intentionally fall.
@@subrahmanyantolman6295 Ever tried swimming in these shoes? ;)
Come on ashima come on down. Uh heck no if that was me I would want to live.
Someone throw the announcer off from that height and we'll all laugh at him when his doughy white arms slap the water. 50 feet on water is no joke. I have seen several injuries and two severe ones (one neck break) at 50 to 55 feet. You can break a foot or hand easily even with a seemingly perfect entry.
The fall could result in serious injury! Look : kzhead.info/sun/fcxteqZ_e4OnrJE/bejne.html
I don't know if it is in every version, but I understand at least in late versions they use bubbles to break the water tension.
50 is nothing for a water jump
Its Joe Rogan ya idiots. Have you never heard the mans voice or what?
No, it is not Joe Rogan. The pitch is very different. The tempo and yelling in excitement style are similar :) but it isn’t Joe. Not even to mention that Joe isn’t a climber, but if he were to comment on a climber afraid to jump he would actually give useful advice about how to do it or help her understand that it’s less scary than it she think it is (if the statement about the bubbles is true). And yes, with the way that she went in (feet first) she could EASILY get brain concussion even from 20 feet entry, let alone 50. I have seen it happen to people.
Shame on the mangers and organizers, why there wasn't a ladder at least rewarding the climber who made it to the top by getting down safe. Falling from that distance may cause fatal injuries.
This was way too high to be climbed without ropes
It's a psicobloc (i.e. deep water solo) competition. The whole point is that the water is there to catch your fall so you don't need ropes.
A sweet water slide for the people that get to the top!
I totally agree with Payton Madson. They knew that they could fall from anywhere while climbing, would you still be complaining about not putting a ladder?
@@jesse2092 I think it's one thing to fall and have the water catch you and another to jump intentionally
hmm..y the best climbers should also be the divers? Could be a good event for the audience but it is too harsh for the athletes and it really looks dangerous. There should have prepared the safe way to come down.
Climbers went up knowing they had to jump. But as usual, it always looks higher when you're up on it. I would be hesitant of jumping as well and I did 900+ skydives.
As a climber jumping of might be scary but damn do we know how to fall from a height (Bouldering) and as a previous swimmer I know how to high dive
Jordyn Burk Yea I’m not sure why everyone has their panties in a bunch over the jump. I’ve jumped 60ft cliffs into water so cold it’ll make you hyperventilate. Only injury I’ve gotten is soar feet from the impact XD.
@@praesdynamite4596 Remember not everyone is like you, we are physically built different and we have no idea about these climber's health or physical status at all. From being climber's they probably have an incredible physical status but remember, anything can happen. An olympic level diver can still get severe injuries from a jump. Also, Ashima is barely a teenager you can understand why she would be scared
Praes Dynamite Do you straighten your body and point your toes then once you hit the water spread out? I haven’t tried it yet, I’m curious what the ‘proper’ technique is
this bouldering wall is crazy.. my hands started to sweat when I saw the wall curve lol
Poor girl. That was scary. But she's a badass.
lol she was like i dont know how to fall what is this.
Let's see you jump from 50 feet
@@felixb.59 someone clearly didnt get the joke
@@ricksmith4201 that was clearly rude tho , prick head
@dave Lee shut up already toddler
@@shekhar81 Prick head? Never been called that before lol, how fucking old are you, 12?
dude i get terrified if i fall and i'm on a rope. for this girl to boulder the course and be able to free fall it after (even though she was scared, though who wouldn't be) is absolutely amazing.
And waste all her chalk
@@totallynotdeadinside3702 She tossed it down before she jumped.
The point of climbing up is not to fall :o
She likes to climb but jumping or falling must seem too close to that thing that nibbles in the back of a climber's mind. I think there might be a fear that ANY fall can eat at your confidence, especially in a youngster who maybe doesn't have the maturity for dealing with THAT. I'm not a climber so I'm just guessing, but she sure looked reluctant to "let go".
I am a climber and I love to let go at the end. some people prefer to stay and and some people like to swing around and let go
I climb and I would never be able to let to that high! And she's younger than me at this time. I don't think many of us would be more willing to jump.
Ursa nobody cares
Lmao she already reached the highest point that won't hurt her confidence lol
yes... or it's just a crazy height
"she's been up there so long shes probably turned 14" like that's so uncalled for she's an amazing rock climber but that doesn't mean she's a diver, that drop could of seriously hurt her if she did it wrong and she's only 13
what if you cant swim? swimming is not a requirement for rock climbing last time I checked
Martha Tedla then you drown and nobody saves you
Martha Tedla then you don’t enter the climbs where the only exit is jumping & then swimming?
Some of these people really are fucking stupid smh Hey dumbfuck, if one cannot swim one should be smart enough not to join an aquaclimb competition. Common freaking sense
Comment of the year right here!
Then don’t compete in deep water soloing 🤦🏻♂️
Physique, discipline and intelligence in perfect sync. I'm scared of heights, and to me, this is plain beautiful. Mad respect.
There has to be a way for climbers to get down this is way to dangerous for a preteen or climber to get off a rock climbing wall without dropping 50 ft from the air to a pool.
@justcallmeNiKki! There are stairs on the back side, jumping is optional. However, most people view jumping into the pool as ‘part of the experience’ of this kind of competition
@@luketufts6827 That's just plain stupid.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 why? That’s what you do at a psicocomp.. I wouldn’t want to, so I wouldn’t sign up.
I have been climbing for 2 months now... I'm not afraid to jump but the announcer shouldn't be rushing her to jump
You shouldn’t be thinking that much before u jump
@@vancekangyishu Yes you should. The last thing you want is to feel rushed and then panic.
Climbing on your gf ?
Plus the girl was acting selfish. It's not "about you" (the girl)
he wasn't rushing her. he was incouraging her
I'm no climber but those falls looked bloody dangerous to me... I thought rock climbers found an easier route down, or abseiled? To just let go and fall is complete anathema to a climber but how else was she to get down? Kudos to both young women.
I hate heights, and can think of two times in my life when I've fallen/jumped from quite a high height. Once about twenty years ago when indoor rock climbing. It must have been at least five metres, and the guy at the bottom caught me just before I hit the padding. But there was a rope on the inside of my elbow, which slid along my skin the whole way down, causing a rather nasty rope burn! I've not been since. The other time was a few years later, jumping of a boat in the South China sea with my brothers. It was probably slightly higher than the climbing fall. My brothers were loving it, but I was terrified. After two or three goes, I agreed to do one final jump with them. Unfortunately, whilst flailing my arms in the air, my shoulder felt like it was popping out - had I been on solid ground, I'm sure I could have just wiggled it a bit and that would have been it. Instead, as I hit the water, I dislocated my shoulder. And about two weeks before, I'd damaged some of the muscles in the other shoulder diving in goal during a game of football! Several years later, and both shoulders are still not completely better, especially the one I dislocated. So, I'd say it's definitely dangerous! Not to mention terrifying!
Its a quite easy route so climbers are not expected to fall. This is more of an emergency thing
Christ! This announcer is the absolute worse!
Broo i just thought if they had to jump down into the water thats a waste of their chalk and their shoes would get all wet 😣😣
Lucia Farias throw the chalk bag before
Wow. My heart was in my mouth that whole time she was getting down. Watching this with my 4 year old....calling her a real superhero. Inspiration. Thank you.
Emily Harrington, Born 1986; Aishima Shiraishi, Born 2001. Emily is 17 years older than Aishima
this is so high
Omg I would do the same thing as ashima I can't let go lol
Wakakakakkk
They couldnt have a slide or a ladder to get down? How hard is it to install a ladder? How do people get to the top to maintain it and shit? By rock climbing their way up there too?
In this kind of comp, this is the way, if u cant jump then dont join.
they dont have to jump. there is a ladder on the backside
@@-greenphone- A LADDER? A 50ft LADDER? That sounds much more terrifying than jumping into the pool.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 he means a fixed, steel ladder, not just an absurdly long wooden one haha
I just realised they don't have ropes ahh it's making me feel scared coz I feel like they could easily fall I mean look how small the grips are!?!???
Erin {} Sharkey That's what bouldering is and why the water is underneath them on a height like this.
Life advice: don’t watch Alex hannold climb El Capitan then. That’s 3000 feet with no ropes.
Ayy lmao well water would kill him if he fell from that high, even pretty low it could kill him
Ong now that you said that i realised it too Who is allowing a person to climb this shit without a harness If they fall and break anything? Or hurt themselves? Are all the people there out of their fuckinv mind???
@@ivediscombobulated93 that's why they're climbers 😂 ..... And why we're not 🤣
She doesn't need to dive in the cold water. Rudeness for athlete.
paris oinone You realise that she knew she would have to jump down and went up willingly right?
what do you mean? I am sorry, but I don't watch any kind of sports very often, so I am quite confused about why this is rude?
It's not rude, paris oinone just doesn't know what he's talking about and so are all those dipshits voting up his comment.
There’s optional stairs on the back 🤦🏻♂️ the climbers who reach the top choose to jump down as part of the experience of this style of competition
And? So what if she knew or was willing? Everyone has the balls to do something but when it’s actually time they chicken out.
If I were them I'd climb down the metal frame behind the climbing wall
No water if you fall
There’s already stairs on the back, jumping into the pool is totally optional
There are videos of people falling into water at 80 ft and being very seriously injured...
Everyone in climbing is so supportive, I love it
My girl literally said to the crowd "I could use some help here cheer guys" and they had her 😂 😂 😂 climb on little sis
Cool to hear everyone so supportive of both climbers!
bummer that they make them climb to that horrible pop-electro music : (
Yea my heart was pumping even faster thanks to the music
A ton of competitions do that, unfortunately
strong grip!
Phong Phan deep water solo
No idea why I’m watching this, or why KZhead recommended it, but it’s pretty damn impressive!
My legs started shaking just from watching the video. I'm so impressed with such performance
what i want to see is the announcer fall off the cliff maybe then he'll shut his trap
Is anyone going to talk about how high they are !!! And not hooked on to anything!!
Both of them are amazing 👏🏻
Very impressive climbing and strength 💪. Nice job ladies!
OMG that's really dangerous even fall to water from this height may be deadly.
Lol, no.
@@atlantic_love I watched someone break their back landing wrong off of a 40 foot cliff. Getting him out of there was absolutely bonkers, so many rescue people involved. It's absolutely possible.
that’s the thing, we aren’t not scared of highs, we just mostly trust ourselves not to fall. That sheer drop is not something we’re useful
im new to rock climbing indoors and its so much scarier knowing what they're doing cuz now i can appreciate the moves my arms are pumped just watching it
Wow, that takes determination and strength! Great Job!
This was me at the top of a wall having the gym instructor, my friend, and some random dude all saying "just let go, the rope will support you!" Hell no! Lol Some of us just have this instinct to cling.
This is unbelievable her strength is amazing and she’s holding to nothing literally
well the holds they had were pretty decent sized
Ashima 🥰 she's a machine ❤ love watching her climb 🙌🙌
Geez! That is crazy!!!! While watching it my hands and feet were sweating 😱
I literally muted my phone because the announcer is so annoying
Wow all I can say is both of these women are true athletes and good for them amazing
Oh my gosh... she barely just reach her teen years. Bravo. So courageous at such a young age.
No words, outstanding!
Огонь! 10 минут нервов! Знаю как страшно лезть сложные трассы даже со страховкой. Девочки молодцы!
Вообще не могу понять как люди лезут на горизонтальных трассах 😱
When I try to rock climb I get up to the first rock and I fall
Awesome climbing skills ladies I am thoroughly impressed 👍
Parabéns....esporte de muita força...
KZhead Recommendations strike again! Welcome, people of the future!
It looks easy until you realise the wall is on an angle.
Most tense 10 minutes of my life. How is that even possible?
This looks like such a fun route!
Kudos to both these ladies. My hands were sweating the entire time watching this. I’m a puss.
If they can make a complicated wall they can make a simple slide down
they have stairs
Legend has it she's still chalking her hands.
Mad respect to the athletes
Mygodd... just how long can they stay like that?? Its like gravity barely has effect on them
OMG 😯 amazing effort from both girls!! I wish there was a better way to get down
I watched a guy climbing this wall in 59seconds just before i watched this... he was another class 😂
I am a climber and they inspire me to try my hardest.
Just watching them makes me want to scream! 😂😂😂😂
very impressed .
I watch 1 episode of a climbing anime. KZhead: "Guess you want to see every climbing tournament from the last 10 years."
That gives me chills when they looked down from that high wall
Ashima is too cute xD but she is really amazing and she is my inspiration!
Aishima*
He/she spelled it correctly
Why should someone let loose, when everything in the body was formed to hold on?!
Exactly. It's practically built into our DNA since we were apes.
Oh my god, fabulous. I can't even dare 10% of this. What a fitness and brave heart girls👍🙏
I could not be more impressed!
Emily kept waving at the crowd too much for someone who was losing!
Did anyone notice that the background music was titanium?
Amazing 👏 Ladie
2021 on fb recommendation. My feet felt tickled and literally sweating watching this.
Imagine backflopping after messing up a move at the top
And the sweaty hands begin ....
Será que só eu que quando assisto, fico colocando força pra elas subirem ?! Haha (Brazil 🇧🇷)
This is amazing
