How high does the pulse go at the highest indoor highball in Europe?

The Boardroom near Chester has the highest indoor Psicobloc in Europe. At eight meters, this solo wall is almost twice as high as a conventional bouldering wall. Louis Parkinson tested how his pulse reacts to this challenge.

British climbing professional Louis Parkinson, also known as Captain Cutloose, takes on a special challenge in his latest video: the highest indoor boulder in the UK. The Psicobloc towers a proud eight meters high. This doesn't leave even a full-time climber like Parkinson unmoved, as his heart rate monitor documents.
