Now you have a good conversation piece! You tried so hard at the most difficult climbing route you've ever attempted that you ripped off the skin from portions of your hand. Maybe Steve might find it cool.

Now you're absolutely right to not do something to impress a dude, but trying and failing to tackle a new wall is admirable. GL!

Absolutely the take I would go with.

Anyone into outdoorsy stuff is just a sucker for punishment anyway 🤣

"Didn't get a video, was climbing a super tough route and shredded my hands! Look!"

Attitude is everything in the first stages of making friends and everything else!

He doesn't even know anything about Bouldering. Just do a yellow and fly up the wall. Lol.

Former climber of many years, who always preferred a ridiculous tough indoor Boulder climb compared to any outdoor leading.

Keep crushing it.

Finger pads be damned.

Flappers are hardly a sign of being a new climber..

Ya from my experience flappers are just a part of having calluses built up from climbing loads!

It took me months to get my first one, not that that's any amount of time to become experienced

Flappers don't mean you're experienced by any stretch but they certainly don't just happen to new climbers.

Don't let this bring you down. Just be like "Instead of filming a climb, how about you join me sometime?". Works wonders. Fun fact: most new climbers find any boulder/route you climb impressive.

Let him try the same spot and then show him the video. The video is funny, maybe let it run 1.5x the speed.
You rock for ask him to join you!
No need do hide, you are slim, fit and some people find this attractive.

As an amateur rock climber, you seem very badass in your video. I'm impressed you're trying a hanging route, period. Like other people have suggested, bring Steve with you! It'll be a great bonding experience.

Ooh that's perfect!

I was just going to say that you should share it anyway. It was a good attempt and the fall was a little funny 😅
