Well as a few of you might know I am over 40, and as another few of you might know I am a climber. The popularity of bouldering and sports climbing has gained a lot of momentum since the last olympic games. In 2024 climbing will be again in the olympic competitions but with a changed ruleset. The different disciplines speed climbing, bouldering, and lead climbing will have their competitions with their respective medals.
The popularity is measurable in the climbing gyms for sure. The amount of new climbers in the gym is really visible and it has been increasing steadily since the sport is an Olympic one.
Long story short I want to build my climbing channel focussing on my age group.

I don`t care if this niche is big enough or if my channel gets monetized, but I also have that in mind. I believe that the sport's growing popularity will continue over the next decade and after some research, I saw that there are mainly channels for young climbers about young climbers. One "old" climber is from Scotland and is a real idol, but he climbs super hard routes and does not focus on the recreational climber like I am.
The channel is mainly to document my journey towards September where we will be spending a full month in the forest around Fontainebleau.
This is the climbing Mekka for every boulderer, this is where it comes from, this is also one of the hardest areas if you are a climber. You need to train for the special sandstone which give a lot of friction but also wears down your skin pretty fast.
For September I want to be in my best form and the channels content will focus on analyzing my climbing sessions and on my training towards this goal.
Your thumbs up counts!
As I am new to the youtube game I would love as much support as possible for this little passion of mine. If you have the time watch my videos (for now there is only 1 short) I would appreciate it.
