Hello fellow Climbers, Hope you had a great long weekend! Question, How comfortable are you with the Heel Hooks?
More videos on Rock Climbing Tips: bit.ly/More_Climbing_Tips
I find them really satisfying to do, but my gym doesn't set many problems at my level where I can practice them. Love your videos.
In this case if my gym doesn't provide a certain move I need to train I just make up my own projects, you should give that a try =) just a thought. Thank you!
I’ve definitely gotten rests with only a heel hook and a smear…
They’re one of my favorite moves!
as a climber that projects v10-11s, I can say that I'm pretty comfortable with heel hooks. However, I came to this video to maybe get tips on how to do them on really bad edges due to a difficult route in my local gym. But as I was watching this video I kept thinking that there is a little bit more on the heel hook concept. Don't get me wrong, this is definitely a great start to all of it. The only thing that I think you may have missed is the movement of the ankle when heel hooking. fantastic advice otherwise!
Really good point made here about the hips that I don't usually see in videos. Another tip that I was taught during a climbing lesson that I haven't seen in any videos -- resting the toe against the wall and using the wall to stabilize the foot during a heel hook solidifies it and makes it feel a whole lot better.
Yes, Heel Hooks also differentiate when using it in different occasions like overhangs and or as an opposition hold but I'll definitely point that out in future videos. But what they all have in common is to keep that hook active engaging it. You made a great point! using your toe against the wall to stabilize is definitely a great tip. Thanks for sharing this, you rock!
I’m heel “hooked” on this channel! Another stellar how- to.
lol! nice play on words there. Your rock my friend, Thank you!
super clear and precise compare/contrast demonstrations, with helpful explanations for how/why this technique works. best tip video on heel hooks i've come across!
so much details, love it.
That dyno at 4:28! Damn Ozzy!
Awesome tutorial, thank you!
I think there's a point to be made concerning motions intrinsic to, or within the foot - pointing one's toe forward during a heel hook helps the heel bite harder, and the hamstring naturally follows, bringing the hips even closer to the wall. Furthermore, the internal rotation of the hip (knee towards the wall) likewise helps the heel bite into shallower or smaller heel hook holds. Combing the two makes for some banger friction and leverage that I find frequently holds as much or more weight than my hands!
Thats right! Thanks for adding and contributing some great points to enhance a solid Heel hook.
I really appreciate your attention to detail and patient explanation. Thank you.
Glad I could help my friend. Thank you!
I saw Ozzy flash a highball in bishop with a super sketchy heel hook at the top. He knows his stuff!
I will never forget that moment and I do miss bishop!! We definitely have to go back and send some new routes. Thanks for the support my friend. you the man!
Really like your breakdowns and use of arrows. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks.
Hey Ozzy, it was nice meeting you in person and watching the whole process of putting this together, and sick send of the red V8

It was a pleasure my friend. Was a really good day glad you got to see behind the scenes and got to see one of the hardest climbs I’ve done, yet. See you next time!
The best climbing tutorial channel ever. Thank you so much :)
Appreciate you! Thank you ;)
Epic demo of heels. Just got that V5; toward top rolled heel into right toe, used left leg to push off other side so I could better grab the far right crimp. You made that V7 dyno to heel effortless! So rad of dual videos. Great stuff. Videos are awesomeness for training and education all around. 🙏😎🤙
Yes, top part right hook rolled heel into toe all the way! I could tell you got this V5 down really good. Keep progressing my friend. Thank you!
I love your vídeos, your edition is the best, the way that you explain with the arrows and the comments are very helpful
Glad you're enjoying the content my friend. You rock!
Love the note on hip positioning. Thanks for another great vid!
Thanks sandra! you rock!
Excellent explanation. Great video! Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching! =)
this editing slaps. love your work!
Thank you!
this omment comes for most of you video's, the way you make your video's are very well made, and wit loads of great info in them to hep people that tries on simelare climbs, im sure some of thise video's have helped somebody already, this video had many great advice's on heal hooking
Love this comments. Keeps me motivated and really glad I could share my passion and learnings with you. Thank you!
Pretty good explanation especially with bringing the hips close. One other point I would mention in your video that you also do is to turn your foot outward so that you’re actually pulling with the outside border of your heel. By turning your foot your hips externally rotate giving you more range at the hips but most importantly you can engage your glutes and hip external rotators much more. These are much stronger than relying just on your hamstrings alone which is what happens when you try to just pull straight down with the back of your heel. Overall I enjoy watching your videos and find very helpful tips. Keep up the great work!
great info on the heel hook! thanks for the reminder on bringing those hips in!
Happy to help! Thank you!
Awesome video really liked it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the great tips, im definitely guilty of using sloppy heel hooks and swinging out all the time. Will try to apply this in my next session
As long as you're aware and will be working on it THATS a huge step on its own. Trust me you will improve and notice progress the more you practice this. Thank you!
content is one fire dude!

ok, one more time it's a perfect video, now I would like the see some similar video in the real rock. Thank you, I learned much ;)
You rock Paul! and yes I will be doing this out in the real rock =) I promise you that!
4:46 Wow.
If you don't mind me asking, with a problem like this, could you tell that you needed the heel hooks before even starting it or was it something you had to play around with first? Maybe it comes with experience with climbing (I'm still very much a beginner!) but I always find it really impressive when people immediately know what specific move is needed just by looking at a certain hold and/or from having tried the problem a couple times. It's something I'm trying to improve on because I have a tendency to wear myself out before figuring out what exactly I need to do.
That aside, great video! I appreciate how you emphasize that it's not only about correct footwork, but also in HOW you use it to your advantage (eg. engage legs, using your hips, etc.). Things I'll definitely keep in mind for my next climb.
Thanks as always for the videos!
Oh, I Don't mind at all. I could tell by just looking at it that it requires couple of heel hooks. But as you mentioned that comes with experience after climbing for so long you tend to read problems a lot easier but the more difficult they get the harder it is to figure out without attempting it.
Here is my process when I see a climb that I'm about to climb, hope this helps:
1. I look at all the holds and If possible get a feel for the hold without jumping straight into the problem (specially the slopers THOSE are tricky). You don't want to just jump in to a problem without looking at it and trying to figure out beta and possibilities.
2. I give it a first go and try to climb it the way I thought about BUT sometimes when you're up on the wall you tend to get a way better feel and adjust body position, tension footwork etc... and go with the flow.
3. When I find the crux I then try to figure out the crux. What didn't work and what should I attempt? then I fail, lear and repeat. Eventually you climb so much you start seeing similar climbs and then you're able to read routes even better. Also, you start to build up muscle memory and by then you just go with the flow.
Hope this helps Megan, great question! Thank you!
I would say practice your reading before your flash attempt, I find it helpful for beginners like me. I'm still a beginner, but the rubber marks usually give it away.
I keep hurting my hammies by hooking and pulling too hard. Any tips to avoid this injury? Very sore today. 🙁
Came here to learn how to properly submit my wrestler foes. Why are we climbing a wall lol
i find your videos very helpful, do you have an IG? I would love to see more send videos for v4-v5 ranges.
Yeah, my instagram is @rockentry
