19:15The final result and ceremonial prize cheques arrive.

Does Olympic gold make a local competition any less nerve-racking? Apparently not. Working through Battle of Britain's qualification scramble, Toby Roberts asks himself: "Why am I so nervous? Like, this isn't a World Cup."

That mix of serious effort and self-questioning runs through "I Won, But at What Cost?", which has drawn about 146,000 views. Toby qualifies in second place, then spends part of isolation being jokingly interviewed by Max Milne with a foam roller. Dayan Akhtar joins the conversation too. Viewers keep returning to the friends' exchanges, particularly the teasing question about Toby's hands having touched the King.

The climbing gives the title its less comfortable half. Repeated slips on a dynamic jump leave Toby with scrapes across his torso, while another final problem demands delicate slab footwork rather than brute force. He finishes with his first Battle of Britain victory after years of entering. The ceremonial cheque is rather easier to carry away than the abrasions.

It's comfortably the channel's busiest individual video right now. The Japan sessions haven't disappeared, though: "Tackling Japans Hardest Boulders", his final visit to B-Pump on that trip, and "Getting Humbled by Impossible Boulders in Japan" remain the next strongest draws.

Daily channel views are running at more than four times their usual level, although the subscriber count was unchanged over the week. Among nearby-sized sports channels, Beyond23 Cricket Podcast and talkSPORT Cricket are also having busy viewing days. For Toby, the fresh competition vlog shifts the focus from Tokyo projects to something a gold medal hadn't yet secured: a Battle of Britain win.

You're the only YouTuber whose videos I watch all the way through the moment they come out. Love your commentary, mindset and most of all climbing.

Great video! One bit of advice for future videos: I would appreciate it if the voiceover didnt spoil what is about to happen! At 13:33 you say you miss the move a few seconds before you fall on video. This happens in a few other places as well.

honestly my fav thing about this vid was the interactions with your friends "are these the hands that touched the king" , "i heard you send a boulder" referring to rots :D :D
