If i can add another tip : Don't chase grades. What matters is the fun ypu have, grades are only an indicator and are often completely off to what you believe are "standard grades". So yeah. Just climb, have fun, and be safe out there!
This is the only tip needed. Everything else will naturally follow. I guess my 2nd tip is there is always another prospective YTer making a video about climbing tips.
I'm the definition of a FAN of climbing. I didn't find my love for the sport until way later in life... AFTER the better part of 20 years beating up my body doing martial arts and competitive powerlifting (not to mention my huge fear of falling; as Alex Honnold would say). But, I love watching people who are super passionate about their climbing, especially those who aren't superstar climbers. I mean, they're amazing too, but regular climbers are just as impressive to me. I appreciate everyone who would put their successes and failures online, and bear their vulnerabilities to the internet so folks like me can live vicariously through you.
That's the cool thing about climbing - you can kinda start whenever and end up wherever and have a very similar experience. You should check out my vlogs if you're into that. I'm putting climbing first for a year and sharing what happens along the way on UA-cam... plenty of successes, even more failures 😆
Damn, you’re killing it for only 6 years climbing. I’ve dabbled in it on and off for a while, but only really practicing regularly now at age 42. Mostly bouldering.
I turned 34 this year. I stumbled across this video while searching for "solo climbs" on UA-cam. You aren't talking about the six steps of climbing. You describe what every single person needs to hear: life lessons. These are six of the most important things people should understand about life: 1. Be who you are. 2. Confidence in yourself is everything. You can do it if you say you will. 3. What works for one person might not work for me, and what works for me might not work for the next person. 4. Conditions matter. Control your surroundings when you can. Pick your battles. 5. Surround yourself with people who have goals that match yours and push them to achieve those goals. 6. Life will hurt you, and that's okay. Get back up and don't give up.
Yes, you will get injured. Or you will be present or know someone who dies or who gets a serious injury. Climbing was great, but I don't miss the proximity to death
I don't think the last tip is really true. Sometimes you have to admit you're bad at something to push yourself to practice it more. I was bad at slab, but I practiced and I've gotten so much better! On the other hand, I'm also bad at large round holds, idk what they're called where the advice I hear is always to get as much surface area as possible on the hold. Most every time I try hard, I walk away with a super sore wrist from trying to bear down on those big holds with my entire tiny hand. Hasn't really improved even when in my head the route is straightforward, I just... can't stick the holds.
Better is only relative to what you're trying though... The closer to your physical limit you're operating at, the more at risk of injury you are - at least IMO!
I respect people who climb and I wish I could too. However, there is much I disagree with in this video. Confidence is not everything. Confidence is great when it is justified. I wonder how many climbers died from being confident. And that confidence being misplaced. It’s a very fine line between getting a relatively minor injury and a life changing or life ending one. Living on the edge is fine if that’s your thing but encouraging it as a choice, maybe not such a smart idea. While positive self talk is great, telling yourself you are what you aren’t is just delusional. Just because I tell myself I am something, even if I believe it, doesn’t make it true. People who genuinely believe they are ‘God’s chosen people’ is, in my humble opinion, a vivid current example of this. You can be what you believe you can be. Not necessarily. You might be but many, perhaps most, will not. Attempting things outside your comfort zone may be great for personal development. But thinking irrationally is not usually a great starting point. Has every climber really had more than minor injuries?
IMO injury is a part of sport. And the essence of the point is to not become so preoccupied with avoiding injury that it interferes with your enjoyment of the sport. Some injuries are unavoidable - and in choosing to participate in this sport, I accept that risk and deem it okay.
i think it’s ok for different people to make different judgements about how often they wanna get hurt. there’s no way to completely avoid injury so that means it’s a risk vs reward calculation that will vary from person to person. if your main goal is getting good at climbing some injuries are probably inevitable
@512andbeyond I said it stupidly, but I think that just telling yourself you are something does not help, if you want to become different in a certain aspect of your life or develop your skills in a certain direction within your sport of choice, you have to accept your insuficciencies and change your habits and train toward your ideal.
A mio parere, appigli cosi minuscoli non e arrampicare mi dispiace. E ammazzarsi proprio e basta. Una montagna che non ha sufficiente appiglio per mani e piedi, in tutta la sua lunghezza, non e arrampicabile, e tantomeno secondo me non e uno sport e solo farsi male inutilmente, e non porta a nessuna soddisfazione e non diventi certamente qualcuno, anzi stai causando insistendo danni alle dita, mani piedi ecc... Ci si arrampica dove possibile. Il livello piu difficile non e difficile a mio parere, e suicidio autolesione. Sono malati infatti con problemi, e non penso che riescono a scalarla piu volte la stessa. E penso anche che se sei salito, devi anche saper riscendere, non aiutarsi con una corda. Che arrampicata e??? Questo e il mio parere, sono daccordo con climb board, ma nella montagna, non e una climb board, e se non ce presa, non ti devi sforzare, urlare come un disperato, perche non fa bene mica alla tua salute mentale e fisica. Ricorda senza aver fatto a meno della corda, non hai mai veramente raggiunto nessuna vetta. Troppo facile.

Last tip: the more and louder you scream the stronger you get
Yes!!
If i can add another tip : Don't chase grades. What matters is the fun ypu have, grades are only an indicator and are often completely off to what you believe are "standard grades".
So yeah. Just climb, have fun, and be safe out there!
For sure!! That's a good one 🔥
I disagree. If you want to be a better climber, it can be a good indicator that you are moving in the right direction or that you need to do more/less
This is the only tip needed. Everything else will naturally follow. I guess my 2nd tip is there is always another prospective YTer making a video about climbing tips.
Yeah but what about challenging yourself and getting better
@@TheOnlyWayUp-iv8grIsn't that about everything in life?
Excellent tips. Especially #1. Well done, congrats on 6 years 🤜
Thanks!!
last tip is essential everywhere in life. good vid
Thanks!! I often find that climbing is a metaphor for life. Probably why it’s so addictive 😆
Not insured after 20 years of climbing. Besides some finger issues. Hardest grade 7b+
I am good at everything. Proceeds to break my neck. 😂😂😂
I like this positivity
😁
Number 2 is very, very true! I've saved this video to watch over and over.
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you very much, best regards 🙏🩵

Absolutely nailed it. 👌

Thanks!! I try 🤓 Bouldering is awesome

Exactly. Thanks for noticing!! Turns out climbing is pretty similar to the rest of life 🤓
This was really helpful - especially the confidence tip
Thanks!! These all really took me years and years to learn, so I'm glad they're helpful 🤓
I climb trees because they are more accessibel than rocks in my area. I would like to rock climb as well.
Rock climbing is very addictive!! In a good way 😁
sometimes trying hard just worsens my arthritis and back pain even more :)
I think knowing when to try hard and when to back off is super important too. Sorry to hear you have arthritis and back pain 😞
You are amazing guys!👍
If you're lucky enough, you will learn something new, everyday in your journey if you're lucky 🙏 happy birthday love and respect
.
Even though the height terrifies me, I want to give climbing a try or two.
Yes! Do it!! Climbing is the best 🔥
I don't climb, but this video made me stoked!
Awesome!!
Yes, you will get injured. Or you will be present or know someone who dies or who gets a serious injury. Climbing was great, but I don't miss the proximity to death
Fair! You’re not wrong 😞
Para volar en deportiva hay calcular el vuelo según el grado de inclinación de la pared.
I don’t get you rock climbers… but God Bless you! 😊
Oh wow definitely staying on my couch
It's not the fall that kills you it's the sudden stop that does
Can confirm I'm still alive 😝

ooh i like this one
Thanks!!
amazing tips
Thanks!!
W advice
Yikes! Holy Kamoli!
well said, congrats
Thanks!!
Climbing is an extreme sport worldwide
What is the A4 Pulley went bye, picture about?
It's an ultrasound of my finger! Showing a pulley injury 🤓
Well said
Thanks 🤓
what is a beta please?
Beta is the way you climb something - like where you put your hands and feet, and how you use them together to get up the the climb
Thanks for asking. I didn't know either.
On BoD there's also the beta of stacking mattresses and piling on rocks.
I've been climbing 60 years and it is a great leveler, it sorts out those who BSB from those that walk the walk like few other sports
Very true!
only other thing i would recommend is a helmet. only takes one leg caught on a line and single hit on the head to put you out of business for life.
#1 tip climbing shirtless makes you stronger
Facts
You won’t get injured if you are better
Better is only relative to what you're trying though... The closer to your physical limit you're operating at, the more at risk of injury you are - at least IMO!

Has every climber really had more than minor injuries?
You forgot the most important lesson...LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP
#6 don't tell people getting injured is OK merely cos its really NOT okay 🙄
IMO injury is a part of sport. And the essence of the point is to not become so preoccupied with avoiding injury that it interferes with your enjoyment of the sport. Some injuries are unavoidable - and in choosing to participate in this sport, I accept that risk and deem it okay.
There's no way around it and I'd rather get injured now and then than not climb.
@@TGoKovenant Exactly 🎯
i think it’s ok for different people to make different judgements about how often they wanna get hurt. there’s no way to completely avoid injury so that means it’s a risk vs reward calculation that will vary from person to person. if your main goal is getting good at climbing some injuries are probably inevitable
I agree 100 percent. Theres always another way up, and it probably fits you better anyways
last is a lie
How so?
@512andbeyond I said it stupidly, but I think that just telling yourself you are something does not help, if you want to become different in a certain aspect of your life or develop your skills in a certain direction within your sport of choice, you have to accept your insuficciencies and change your habits and train toward your ideal.
Ya... try climbing on crumbling snow
