Comedy
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
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
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
@Idk Gg ppl who live in Florida:
Tree climbing go BRRRRR
@_FG_ 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 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.
@Frederick Benny sarcasm? They’re both acceptable lol
i think it's a difference in mic quality
Being gone for a year and then coming back to talk about rock climbing is the most Clip-Sharer thing ever
and like 4 days ago he was streaming fall guys with the lads
Uhhhh hi 🙂
Username is sus
bot
@Thorvald Spear yeah
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
@Alright, Tumbleweed don't judge
@Alright, Tumbleweed That's only if having people shout beta doesn't throw you off your game lol. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaate it when people do that
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.
@Fabian Herrmann 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.
Like a true introvert he just shows up after about 63 weeks of no contact to talk about some random subject
After a year of rock climbing,he decided to do a Clip-Share video on it,what a legend
I love how this man can just sell you the entire community in a 7 minute video
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 no he actually invented it in this video i think your wrong
@Burner no
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
@MikkiMeesh That was some sweet alliteration. Oh no, it's spreading..
As a rock climber, this video is literal perfection
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.
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.
Too anxious to ask for help, much easier and less stressful to just risk death. Completely ridiculous, and yet so relatable. 😂
As someone who has been rock climbing for about 9 years, watching such a quality explanation video about climbing is clearly aid
Tbh I ubironically believe that climbing shoes are aid...
Tell me if you do too!
@Anton Adelson commenting on Clip-Share is aid
Edit:Fuck
@Anton Adelson nope
Those 9 years are clearly aid
If you think about it… isn’t not being paralyzed also aid?
Me and my friends have a rule of thumb, “the more homeless they look the better they are at climbing” same goes for skating
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
Great video and glad you are back!
Great
Nice 👍👍
👍
Good
Good
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.
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 to Jesus Christ “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
James 4:17 NIV
H
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…
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.
"Having a friend to go climbing with is clearly aid" I love it.
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.
This explains it pretty perfectly lmao, I work at a climbing gym and the overly friendly 30 year old is so true lmao
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
As a rock climber, this is the most accurate assessment of the sport ever
He spent the past 2 years laboring over this video, truly the creator we deserve.
I’ve been climbing for over a year and a half and I loved this video, and can confirm everything said is 100% facts.
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!
As an amateur rock climber/bouldering enthusiast, I find this video freaking hilarious and 100% true!
Props to him for doing rock climbing for an entire year just to educate us
For real!
@Sean Ferree it does only take 10 days
@flick what do you mean it only takes 10 days?
@Ben Stevens after 10 sessions of climbing you are a pro!
Can’t wait to see Free Solo 2: Casually Climbed. Clearly the bigger project he was working on.
As someone with a fear of heights, who has literally only climbed once and who was too afraid to let go of the wall to let the automatic harness lower me down, but who will tell people "I love indoor rock climbing!", I approve of this message.
1 million views in 20 hours? We clearly miss you, Casually Explained ❤
I’ve been taking a break from bouldering to focus on dancing but this video gave me the motivation to get out there again. Thanks Casual
As someone who has been going climbing / bouldering 3 times a week for the past few years, I can confirm that this video is spot-on.
I'm a rock climber and loved this video, all the terms were spot on and hilariously implemented!
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.
@TippyHippy Bro, what!? 🤨
Tsu retire in saudi
new channel name: barely explained
long update videos/segments dont really age well so I don't blame him
Man I am extremely happy for you. You are picking the topics that interest YOU instead of pandering. Stranger, I wish you a happy and long life!
This was a phenomenal watch. Climbing has been a big part of my life in the last year and a half so this was a nice laugh.
I'm happy the internet is starting to talk about Rock climbing more, makes me happy
Thank you for sharing this heartwarming video. It's a beautiful reminder of the kindness and compassion that exists in our world.
thank fuck, good to know you're alive and well. was worried I'd never get to see another casually explained video ever again
“Long nails means her day will be ruined, short nails means she’s a thoughtful lesbian” I died laughing 😂
I learned something about myself.
Tf that suppose to mean
@B JAD lesbians trim their nails so they don’t scratch their girlfriend or wife in the bedroom
@Jane ahh shet, i forgot that crap
Weirdly, rock climbing is one of the few things that absolutely terrifies me (that and the thought of any operation on my eyes). However I was in stiches listening to your explanation and am now wondering whether I should buy a beanie myself. What size is appropriate for old folk that need to prepare themselves even to climb the stairs?
I have a deep anxiety of wall climbing but am wanting to experience it to get over the fear. Something about the thought of being so high up and you’re only being held by a rope is so ( some word I dont know yet) . Its a deep feeling. Salute to those who do this. May they stay solid.
As a climber, I love this video 😂
"I can fix him." had me giggling and rewinding for two minutes
Im new here, and i must say, your humour is amazing. I love how you break things down, in a way that has technical jargon, but, not easy to understand. I was wanting to try out rock climbing, this is very informative.
He took a year away from uploading to research rocks to deliver this masterpiece. This is why he’s the best Clip-Sharer
JESUS CHRIST THEY'RE MINERALS!!!
Repent to Jesus Christ “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”

Agreed
smiled the entire time i watched this, can't wait to send this to my rock-climbing friend(s)
When the world needed him most, he was a sarcastic a$$, and we love him for it
Your humor is just gold. Plz keep sharing it with the world!
The speed climbing darts joke broke me 🤣🤣🤣, I need a reboot. This was outstanding, 11/10
Hilarious video! Your humor and wit make rock climbing so much more relatable.
I’ve been climbing for years and I can honestly unequivocally angrily shockingly flabbergastingly say this man is 100% right about everything.
He disappears for ages and returns with this. Obviously he’s been climbing while away.
As a climbing tape abuser I 100% agree that it heals everything. And I mean absolutely everything.
This is actually such a good explanation of the sport in such a short amount of time
I've been rock-climbing and belaying since August 2022. Nice that you are hitting up the only exercise that I consistently and frequently do right now.
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
cap
1. I've been rock climbing for a few years now and this video caught me off guard
2. didn't know you rock climbed
3. love the video
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!
Love how many youtubers I see getting into/being into rock climbing, truly exciting to see it getting spotlighted
I've been getting super into rock climbing recently and this is just gas. Thank you
Man spent over a year making this video about rock climbing. Truly a rock climber of all time.
As a rock climber I agree with everything here, love it
“…to suggest you could out-climb them even if you were a paraplegic” had me dying😂
As a snowboarder + skater I fully agree with the beanie stereotypes 😂 nailed it.
Had a friend tell me this dude died and I wholeheartedly believed him for literal months, bros upload schedule is truly chaotic
as a rock climber I have never seen a more accurate description of the sport, 10/10 good job
Same😂
It's not a sport...
@BobsBuurgers How so?
@BobsBuurgers A sport doesn't have to be included in the Olympics to still be a sport😅
@Martijn Also it is included in the olympics
Did bouldering a few months ago it is a crazy exercise and ripped my fingers to shreds. Had to take a few days off from the gym because of it
I've always been pretty interested in rock climbing, might actually start doing it after watching this!
Used to avidly go to my local rock gym as my exercise in my teens and early to mid twenties.
You nailed it perfectly, no notes.
as a climber this was perfection. sending it to my beanie wearing ipa enjoying climbing squad
Glad to see you back. You were missed. Glad you reconnected with your muse.
"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 😂
I tried it as a bodybuilder and while it was fun, it began to feel like cardio and I crossed it out forever.
God i can relate so hard to just campusing to teach your friends you can outclimb them even if u were a paraplegic
Thank you Jamie for coming back, can’t wait to see the next video 😃
1 million views in 22 hours on a ROCK CLIMBING video truly impressive. Well done
From being gone for forever and then still getting 1.8 million views is a huge flex and a testament to your quality content
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
As someone who only does outdoor bouldering, I'm surprised crash pads weren't mentioned. It's the one piece of safety equipment used, and it's the main reason why helmets aren't necessary.
First Sam and now Casually, all within the span of five months. Truly a time to be alive.
Yeah, like did they just remembered their Clip-Share passwords.
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
The casual savagery here is so delightful, almost as much as when Hasan unpaused your last video.
As a climber, I've never been more offended, sitting in my cargo shorts with my Patagonia shirt and water proof jacket
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
Damn it, given how this video now has fully prepped me for rock climbing this was obviously an aid
I did rock climbing for a bit when I was younger and I can confirm this is accurate.
As a climber for over 3 years now I feel both complemented and roasted. Subbed.
Seeing him disappear to rock climbing just so he can youtube us this video is very kindness.
Please make vids again, I know u probably spend a lot of time making the peak that is every vid on ur channel but it would be amazing to have more of it to watch
He's back when no one expected it.
community post?
@masteroogwgay he hasnt posed there either in a year
Its better than not being back when everyone expects it
@ay ru oge
Truly an original comment
As someone who got really into bouldering a year ago, this was brilliant!
Man, I need to get back into climbing again. It’s been a few years. Outdoor was too hard for me and my dumb ass had to stick to indoor climbing.
It took me more than 4 years to learn what this guy summed up in less than 7 mins.
Went bouldering by myself for the first time last month and can confirm nearly everyone was wearing a Patagonia shirt 😂
