Man just bursts out of nowhere and starts talking about rock climbing. Truly the youtuber of all time
Hell Yeah Let’s Go Rock Climbing :D
@Shortest Movie Rants no no. I believe what he wrote was intentional AND correct.
@@movierants bro doesn't know
It’s just like Sam
Such a goated man
you can tell that he's been rock climbing this entire year, some of the little details were simply too spot-on
Pretty sure he just sat next a table of rock climbers when he was eating at a restaurant alone last week.
The knee bar on a V5 was too accurate.
havent we all been honestly
Wrong account bro
or, like me, watched a rock climbing anime and got sent down a rock climbing youtube rabbit hole for a few nights
Me and my friends have a rule of thumb, “the more homeless they look the better they are at climbing” same goes for skating
Often times they just may be homeless aswell. Cause sleeping in a safe home is aid.
They're homeless bc they spend all of their money on gym membership
That used to apply to parkour also. Years ago people who trained parkour looked like street bums. Oversized sweatpants torn open and bloody
bruh this is so accurate, the best climber at my gym, has hella holes in his shirts and pants
@@TheBurningcage27 😂
he literally hasn't made a video in so long that his voice has gotten noticeably deeper from aging
I noticed that too. Was jarring.
Dat timeskip character development thou
That's not how you spell ageing. You will suffer for this.
@@frederickbenny sarcasm? They’re both acceptable lol
i think it's a difference in mic quality
This guy spent a year actually rock climbing so he can give us the best explanation. Truly dedicated.
He could have given the best explaination after 6 months but it took a year to being able to casually explain it.
@@fabianherrmann6398 Giving a good explanation clearly would have been aid.
So you're saying he's vegan
Well said!
Takes longer than that to be part of the life. It’s a lifestyle. Not a sport.
Being gone for a year and then coming back to talk about rock climbing is the most KZheadr thing ever
Also the most rock climber thing ever
ahh yes, The Sam O'Nella Sequence
Or animal scientific names
@@joshg5352 The Cybershell phenomena*
clearly he became so enthralled in climbing he couldnt suffer the time required to make any content, he climbed daily for a year straight, running through dozens of rolls of climbing tape, kilos of chalk, dozens of climbing items and gear sets, a vast variety of beanie sizes.. just to realize he had completely drained his savings account and maxxed out all of his cards.. so hence he was forced to make a return to the dark depths of the youtube verse to replenish his funds
Like a true introvert he just shows up after about 63 weeks of no contact to talk about some random subject
don't call me out like that
The most awkward part of gym climbing is inevitable question, “Which college do you go to?” … “I’m a construction worker” and the looks that follow.
All climbers are in college, there is no exception. They're stuck in perpetual professorial purgatory.
"pre-college" or "college-adjacent"
I literally asked my climbing instructor if I should go to college and both said no lmao
@@MikkiM33sh That was some sweet alliteration. Oh no, it's spreading..
@@runecoop5443 run before it wrecks us all....!!!! --- RATS!
Seeing him dissapear for one year just to come back to recap on the most hilarious climbing facts is truely one of the best self explainations of what he was doing the last months.
yeah, been working his second job
He really is the true casually explained. Infact, he may be the most ever.
And he hits #4 trending? Sheesh
Wonder what hobby he picks up this year and makes a video about in 2024
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ H
As someone who has been rock climbing for about 9 years, watching such a quality explanation video about climbing is clearly aid

@@AntonAdelson commenting on KZhead is aid Edit:Fuck
@@AntonAdelson nope
Those 9 years are clearly aid
If you think about it… isn’t not being paralyzed also aid?
I was laughing so hard all throughout but that 'synergy of yoga pants and harness' had me dead because it's so true
Yoga pants count as aid because a lot of other climbers come over and tell you how to solve the puzzle
@@alrighttumbleweed4782 don't judge
@@theclown3967 who's judging here? You assumin a water Pokemon never got hit on while climbing in yoga pants? You think a Squirtle can't know what it's like to give aid to the lady climbers while their booty is coincidentally at eye level? 👀🍑
@@alrighttumbleweed4782 That's only if having people shout beta doesn't throw you off your game lol. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaate it when people do that
@@alrighttumbleweed4782it’s the same in skydiving, insane how fast new female skydivers progress and it’s part of why they get injured or killed more in that sport
Too anxious to ask for help, much easier and less stressful to just risk death. Completely ridiculous, and yet so relatable. 😂
Best Casually Explained video in at least a year
LOL
Not sure, that one oversimplified video about nothing provides some good competition.
lol 😂😂😂
tough competition

Man, you just appeard, barely explained what happened and started talking about rock climbing in 10 seconds, the best youtuber of all
I put my hamster in a sock and slammed it against the furniture.

Props to him for doing rock climbing for an entire year just to educate us
For real!

@@Jane_8319 ahh shet, i forgot that crap
The thing most people really don't know until they get into it, is that climbing is a very inclusive sport. Everyone is inviting and encouraging, and generally willing to belay you.
oh yeah.. i more more connections in 6 months of doing "top rope" than 3 years of regular gym..
I just got into indoor climbing. I'm pretty old (57) but the young people at the gym have been quite welcoming and supportive.
I like to imagine the real reason for the hiatus is that jamie is now above a 7 due to rock climbing, and hasn’t been able to come up with as much self deprecating humor as he used to.
"unsolicited yet polite encouragement" is one of the best parts of climbing
As long as it is not beta spraying or disrupting focus, of course :)
"Come on! You got it! So strong! Nice send, dude." *fist bump* and then we never so much as make eye contact ever again
@@Preserbius i feel like you're singling me out
@@Preserbius There's this one girl at comps who says something along the lines of "You got it, come on! come on, [teammate]! You got it!" *every single time* [teammate] 1. makes a single move 2. spends more than 3 seconds not moving. It's very distracting, and is obviously aid.
As an introvert, unsolicited encouragement is the worst part of climbing 😂
Been a climber for a few years. I was cackling about how spot on all of this was. Pure class, 11/10 beanies
He simply shows up after months and describes one of my favorite sports in the most comically accurate way
Yeah
Is breathing aid while rock climbing?
Shirt off, head empty, unga bunga.
I just didn't like the 'trad' explication. All the rest was spot on and hilarious
As a rock climber, this video is literal perfection
I truly believe there is a perfect gaussian relationship between climbing skill and the amount of climbing branded clothing someone wears, centred perfectly on a patagonia P-6 and a pair of prAnas/BD Notions. The absolute beasts at any gym are the ones who turn up in pyjama bottoms.
And shoes with holes. Just enter, walk up to the hardest one and flash it
There's an old guy at a gym I rarely see who- barefoot- just casually sends all the hardest routes. He might hang overhead for a while like a spider, too. He did give me some nice advice that helped me, though, which was great. He's like almost 70, and holy smokes is that one fit granpa. I guess climbing consistently for more than twice as long as I've been alive gives one those extra fit points.
@@Olivia-W Those are the people that make me question everything
I went to a climbing gym on the insistence of a family member and the first thing I saw was a guy in nothing but a speedo practically running up the wall. I just walked out immediately and it took an hour of them saying "look this isn't what it looks like" in order for me to give the place a second chance.
As a rock climber, this is the most accurate assessment of the sport ever
ok
As an uneducated critic, this is the most accurate assessment of the most accurate assessment of rock climbing ever.
Kind of. I mean…it’s great, but trad is not at all “just a bunch of boulders”…or however he said it. I mean…he even used The Nose / Freerider for the photo, where there is literally one spot called “the boulder problem”. The rest is nothing like bouldering. I guess it’s like saying: lifting 20 lbs 20 times, is the same as lifting 400 lbs once.
He took a year away from uploading to research rocks to deliver this masterpiece. This is why he’s the best KZheadr
Agreed
How you managed to avoid doing even one Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson joke is a display of self discipline that you really only find in rock climbers.
I tried those rock climbing walls (0:31) that are without safety rope. When I got high enough to get tired, I wanted to jump on the mats but the moment I looked down I understood what it's like to be a cat that stuck on the tree. Because as it turns out I have the fear of falling. What an experience it was xD
Yeah some bouldering gyms make really tall and dangerous boulders and don't even instruct new comers into how to handle the fall . Personally I'm not even a big fan of bouldering, I much rather climb with top rope, but boulders are popular and gyms should be a lot more responsible.
@@lavaot5207 The bouldering gym I go to taught me how to fall and I've never gotten hurt
It's really not that hard or that technical
I remember thinking, “Rock climbing seems like a fun and affordable way to stay in shape.” I looked at the price of gyms, and I’ve never looked back…at considering rocking climbing.
I mean most gyms are like $100/mo or so, it's only ~$50 more than the YMCA or other normal gyms. Not that bad imo
you can climb without having to go to a climbing gym.. unless you live somewhere where there's 0 rock
Which is unfortunately most places
@@idkgg9588 ppl who live in Florida: Tree climbing go BRRRRR
@@Scientist12345678910 YMCA and most other normal gyms do not cost $50 a month…. Also, if you’re reasoning is “well it’s worth it cause it’s ONLY TWICE the cost of a normal gym” then you’ve already lost all credibility lol
He’s been gone so long because he was becoming a pro rock climber
He was doing investigative journalism
Pro implies monetary compensation, which is clearly aid
First pro starcraft, then pro climber, what can't this man do? (other than post more than an annual video that is)
clearly he became so enthralled in climbing he couldnt suffer the time required to make any content, he climbed daily for a year straight, running through dozens of rolls of climbing tape, kilos of chalk, dozens of climbing items and gear sets, a vast variety of beanie sizes.. just to realize he had completely drained his savings account and maxxed out all of his cards.. so hence he was forced to make a return to the dark depths of the youtube verse to replenish his funds
Loved seeing the crude yet wildly accurate drawing of Discovery Coffee's outside patio, all the little Victoria references always fill my heart with joy. Big fan of your stuff man!
It's been years since I watched your first videos and came across this. It's a relief to know that not only have you not changed your formula, but it hasn't gotten old. If anything, it's aged like a fine wine. Ye.

Truly an original comment
as someone who goes rock climbing, i am happy to see his first video in ages is about rock climbing.
The quick pace of this beautiful monologue is part of the comedy. And ive learned to try VERY hard not to laugh out loud for fear of missing the next best rapid fire joke. Long time subscriber whose been growing up with Causally Explained ❤
Man spent over a year making this video about rock climbing. Truly a rock climber of all time.
This just killed me 😂. Being a climber and listening to this is so true it hurts.. I’m going to cut one of my arms off so I’m not considered an aid climber…
thank fuck, good to know you're alive and well. was worried I'd never get to see another casually explained video ever again
Using the Honnold casually eating a bell pepper raw as the illustration image for him, and "avoiding responsability" with him trying to figure out his fridge is top tier 👌
might be making this up but i think i remember this exact shot in the movie, and he was avoiding settling down or stopping freesoloing, and it was causing conflict with his partner... savage image to include
@@MaurtreRS Are you talking about the bell pepper shot? I'm pretty sure it's found in Magnus Midtbø's free soloing video
@@diacoal2433 no, the fridge shot. From Free Solo
No doubt, as he was leaving to solo el cap, his now wife was thinking "I can fix him"
Bell peppers are capsicum no? Capsicum tastes good raw.
absolutely love this lol. I actually recently canceled my climbing membership, partly because of the outrageous cost but also because it's clearly aid to go to a gym to train
i swear we all live the same life
Just started climbing about 5 months ago. Happy to know casually explained is also practicing this beautiful sport.
Holy shit, welcome back! I discovered this channel during a dark time in my career last year and these vids really helped. Was sad when I suddenly had none left!
You're like that favorite relative that no one keeps track of, but appears out of nowhere, and everyone wants to talk too.
thats me and my life.
I tried keeping track, but apart from reposting old shit on facebook over and over, calling it new every time, he's been completely radio silent since that shrooms-fueled video. Which makes this random video about rock climbing that much more hilarious.
Bro came a year later, just straight up apologized, said he's done some work and got more content to upload and went straight into the video Casually Explained truly is the Content Creator of all time
Not just the. He is the most Content Creator of all time.
So.. he casually explained
This is the comedy I needed! Thank you for coming back and if your “project” is what I think it could be….congrats? Maybe? Idk but still congrats!
So many times I wanted to smack the like button, but realized that I already had! Great video! As a bouldering guy living in PNW, you absolutely killed me with the spot-on stereotyping 💀
The nail joke was gold. Gonna have to tell my wife she’s now a “thoughtful lesbian.” Great to see you back Casul.
That joke is probably older than him.
@@burner-pp7bs no he actually invented it in this video i think your wrong
@@burner-pp7bs no
I thought it was thotful lesbian lol😂😂😂
>tfw no thoughtful lesbian climbing gf
How iconic can you be to be gone a year and come back randomly on a Wednesday at 9am. Only the biggest of legends can achieve such feats
As a person who has been climbing for two years, all of this shit was spot on. Even the beanie one since I’m also a snowboarder but I definitely prefer my climbing beanie over any beanie.
Very informational, very witty. 👍🏼 Welcome back, Casually!!!
Great video and glad you are back!
Great
Nice 👍👍

Good

As someone who has been bouldering his whole life, this video is just amazig, you got literally every dumb aspect of our sport right, nice work😂
The chalk on the face is my personal favourite little touch lol
Happy to see you back and you freaking nailed this…
The speed climbing darts joke broke me 🤣🤣🤣, I need a reboot. This was outstanding, 11/10
I’m an ice climbing instructor- the part about everyone doing it once just to say they have is spot on
If you could give a percentage, how many actually take more than one lesson? Humans are interesting huh?
Finally… after 10000 years he has returned
Ahhhhhh! After 10,000 years we're free! And it's finally time to conquer Earth!.... er, go rock climbing!
I was there 😂
This is actually such a good explanation of the sport in such a short amount of time
I've been getting super into rock climbing recently and this is just gas. Thank you
After a year of rock climbing,he decided to do a KZhead video on it,what a legend
No way bro, this is insane. I have been watching your content for the longest time and recently, like couple of days ago, I was thinking about where you have gone. Also like a fucking miracle I started climbing a couple months ago and it has consumed my life and become my passion. And now you show up again and talk about climbing? That's just perfect. I love you bro, your content is so so good. Thank you and keep up the good work! You are the Goat.
But did you pick the right beanie
Magnus and a few others are breaking the yt algorithms with their collabs and stuff. I think climbing has been slowly becoming a lot more mainstream over the last couple years. Especially if you watch youtube
Literally same thing happened to me too.
@@awildrengarappeared8419 I cry when I think about climbing becoming mainstream.
Your humor is just gold. Plz keep sharing it with the world!
Glad to see you back. You were missed. Glad you reconnected with your muse.
Man decided to get into the most dangerous sport in the world, to avoid the danger of mild social anxiety. Truly, an introvert legend.
Not even close to being the most dangerous sport in the world.
uhhhhh dunno where you’re getting your info but it isn’t even on the charts for most dangerous sport. it is only dangerous if you’re purposefully stupid or free solo’ing. Other than that you’re just looking at normal sports injuries of any at all.
@@inDefEE I think the comment is talking about Alex Honnald, not casually explained so it is free soloing to avoid social anxiety
@@inDefEE he’s talking about free soloing
Even free soloing is not in here dangerous. It’s risky. You can control and mitigate most of those risks (know the grade, check the weather forecast, wear a helmet if there maybe falling rocks etc…) Truly dangerous activities are where there are risks over which you have little or no control. Cycling is much more dangerous than rock climbing.
"Ice climbing is where the climbers press up B and throw each other 15 feet above each other until they summit" Best line in the video
Man didn’t mention that even if you give your best and compete at the top level where climbing is your life , YOU will never surpass ADAM ONDRA
man is back after a year and immediatly goes to talking about rock climbing...legend
I've literally been getting into watching rock climbing and this man comes back with a video with jokes I only would have gotten as of a week ago, what a legend.
Dude's on the same ADHD Hobby Rotation as me, it's getting weird.
@@TBone4983 hahaha same. He came out with the cycling video like 2 weeks after I got a road bike and now has a climbing video just as my 3 month obsession with climbing is winding down. Maybe Andrew Taint was right about the matrix

Before??? I'd forgotten about him for at least 11 months.
@@Avendesora What was it about? I don't think I saw it.
@@Xeridanus It was about how he had found a new way to think about life and how he had become much happier because of it, and then the comments flooded with drug abusers saying how he's probably just high, so he had to take the video down.
@@9nikolai man, humans are shet
@@Avendesora To me, what he was describing sounded more like ego death, which has whole religions built around achieving it, while in modern times, especially in cultures such as the UK and the US, is most commonly experienced only with psychedelics. It could also be depersonalisation, as they're quite similar, but the way he was talking about it, I don't think it was that or drugs.
When the world was at his lowest he returned.
Its because of this video i won first place in a bouldering competition (male intermediate category) I watched this video when i was in a severe depression and contemplated suicide every day. And because of this video i looked up rock climbing gyms near me and decided to go to this smallish local gym only a few miles from my house. 6 months later and Im standing on a podium for first place. For a few seconds I felt like the protagonist. I was doubting i would win all day, as the hours passed and more groups climed in the comp I felt I was going to be lucky to get even third place. I had even beaten someone who i had admired when i was a bit newer to climbing. I thought they were soo good and I was soo bad, i wanted to be as good as them so much. Fast foward a few months and im first and they aren't even on the podium. I went from a noob to a near v6 climber in 6 months
Congrats! Hope you’re doing better!
perfection, especially talking about the tape
The fact that you still release good content after a year break is clearly aid
You can't deny Casually Explained dedicating to making the most random, high quality videos on KZhead
When the world needed him most, he was a sarcastic a$$, and we love him for it
Bro you’re back!!!!! I’ve missed your channel so much
As someone who just tried rock climbing for the first time literally yesterday, this is entirely true, especially 5:53, since the dude who was running the gym looked exactly like this
Also the last point is really accurate, my climbing buddy even tapes his toes to make the shoes more comfortable lol
The timing is insane, I happened to just try rock climbing for the first time 2 days ago.
@@Excaty01 well thats bizarre af idk, personally it feels like it would be way worse when the tape eventually starts to move, and it feels just like when you have a way to long sock inside of a regular shoe. Just downsize by 4 sizes XD

He's alive, and he's talking about climbing! I needed this before my boulder comp today.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING
The first date I ever went on after HS was to a climbing gym, it was terrible. I mean, I had a great time climbing walls for 3 hours but there was literally zero time for the two of us to actually talk or get to know each other in any way other than "oh, looks like they can also climb rocks for 3 hours." There wasn't a second date. (Also the date location wasn't my idea)
Ha, she wasn't into you. Bouldering is highly social, spending probably 75% of the time resting before trying again.
Yes this man has indeed spent the last few months at a climbing gym
The bit abt projecting a V3 is hilarious though because I am hard stuck on them
(It’s a skills issue)
He’s right about aid. Recently I’ve had to come to terms with not being paralyzed and knowing I’ve been cheating the whole time.
"I can fix him." had me giggling and rewinding for two minutes
Great as always
Nice having you back m8 can't wait to see this big project that took 1 year to make
As a rock climber, there could be no better comeback video. Masterpiece.
He spent the past 2 years laboring over this video, truly the creator we deserve.
I lay here with my leg elevated and contemplating the mysteries of gravity. I can not help but indulge in a dram or two of my favorite; a glass of Talisker. As the bone knits together, the itch leads me to comb youtube for whipper clips. Leading me to this gem
From being gone for forever and then still getting 1.8 million views is a huge flex and a testament to your quality content
No, I refuse to watch this. He's just going to leave us again and we won't hear from him again. I just... I just can't get hurt again.
