2 Days Rock Climbing & Eating Southern Food in North Carolina (Rumbling Bald Bouldering)

Join Lucie and I for two full days of outdoor rock climbing and bouldering at Rumbling Bald, one of the most iconic bouldering destinations in North Carolina! We'll explore both the East Side and West Side, climbing everything from fun warm-ups to classic boulders, including the legendary Brackish Water V8, while dealing with sharp crimps, tricky beta, blown flash attempts, and those brutal last-move falls that every climber can relate to. This video is a behind the scenes look into our outdoor climbing sessions where we work through sequences, manage skin in the heat, get frustrated, adapt our beta, and eventually stick moves that once felt impossible. Between burns, we refuel with Southern comfort food, spend time around Asheville, and experience the full rhythm of a climbing trip in the Southeast. So basically...Expect real bouldering progression, relatable grades, classic Rumbling Bald problems, and an unfiltered look at what it’s actually like to climb outside! -- Our Gear & More🙏 -- Where I get music for my vids 🎧: https://share.epidemicsound.com/8x3wba Lucie's ❤️ Climbing Shoes: https://amzn.to/4fOycwb La Sportiva Climbing Shoes: https://amzn.to/4extYqz Boar's Hair Climbing Brush: https://amzn.to/4vV7N4z Climbskin Hand Cream: https://amzn.to/4uPntW5 Climbing Chalk: https://amzn.to/4vBF9G5 Finger Tape: https://amzn.to/4xGBJTO THERABAND Warm-Up Bands: https://amzn.to/4uMtItU Our Wireless Microphones: https://amzn.to/4w1zUiK Insta360 Go Ultra: https://amzn.to/44g885V Joby Flexible Phone Tripod: https://amzn.to/4eujKHb Camera Tripod: https://amzn.to/3QmyvnD Love our content?
