Will you do a tutorial about using the force to spot someone?
This video is great. The advice is really helpful, but also thank you for normalising 'the fear'. I look around the centre and assume I am the only one who feels this way, so it's really comforting to see from the video and comments that I'm not the only one. Especially when the climber is so skilled, it makes me realise anyone could be feeling that way :)
Interesting approach to this problem. I will try this because I really need it. I can climb 6b+ but I am terrified of falling, although I trust the equipment. I hope it works. Thanks for the tips.
Did the tips work? Im still terrified of falling and i gotta know if this helps
They helped to some extent. I am the limiting factor. Falling in toprope is fun for me right now, but in lead it is still a problem. I am still clipping and falling, but it it isn't fun. As for the belayer, my wife, if she know that I am going to intentionally take a fall, she is prepared and keeps the rope pretty tight. My fall is short and it is ok. Although I trust her, I am not keen on taking her by surprise. I know I'll be physically OK, but the longer fall is something I don't look forward to. The next step is falling from above the quickdraw. Mabe next time.
There isn't a recipe for this kind of fear. You just need to practice untill you get used to it. I hope it works for you too.
Shes got amazing flow of movement, very graceful
Never tried practicing the falls top roping, really good advice.
the 4. and 5. steps were super helpful. I started climbing just recently and now, because of these methods, I trust my belayer. thx a lot
As someone who has made this mistake DO NOT GRAB THE KNOT it will sinch tighter than you tied ut and pinch your fingertips really bad
What great tips!! Most others give advice like just practice falling or something dumb lol these steps really lay out a map to get over the fear!! Awesome video thank you!
This videos brings another energy into my climbing routine where I started hesitating whether I even have the right personality for this amazing sport. It literally made me happy and reliefed that I'm not alone in this and there's way to progress. So thank you for it 😊
It's nice that this is a self compassionate method
日本語では伝わらないかもしれませんが、とても感謝しています。リードクライミングを１０年以上していますが、未だに落ちる恐怖心で、うまく登れない時がたくさんあります。
このビデオをよく見て試してみて、恐怖心をコントロールして、登ることに集中できるようにしたいと思います。
何より、リードクライミングを楽しく登れるようになりたいです！参考にします。ありがとう。
What a great video. Breaking it down into small, bite size pieces in order to work on the mental patterns around fear. `thanks so much!
I searched for a long time for a video in Italian language that would explain me how to learn to fall, but I didn't find any. I finally found yours in English, perfect! So, thank you !! Marco from Italy
Just took a massive fall on the rock, and hitted my ankle, gonna practice this the next time Im on the gym
Great video! I have been climbing since I was little and am now freshly lead certified, I have always had a problem with heights which doesn't help when you are trying to lead climb. your video is sure to help me get more comfortable!
That you so much for this! im gonna do these things and hoefully getting over my fear of lead climbing!
Good luck! Let us know how it works out for you!
This video was awesome! I’ve had more fear leading in a gym over outside and will work on these things. Thank you
Very good video thank you for sharing, I need to do this.
its easy to fall in the gym. step 7 is to take it outside on a sport route and step 8 is to try the same things on trad gear high off the ground with multiple pieces.
Great video. Very much appreciate the approach & presentation … especially the very end. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I needed this vid so badly! I need to be comfortable with the heights so I can climb with my oldest son. Thank you!
Great tips! Can't wait to implement them in the next sessions when we get out of lockdown.
Fantastic video, thankyou! Some great techniques to work on
My problem is that my fear is entirely based in my knowledge an understanding of the risks. I don't know when last the gym replaced their ropes. I don't know who welded the autobelay to the ceiling, or how qualified they were to do so. I don't know whether the person who placed the carabinas along the lead routes went for a cheaper knockoff to save some costs. I feel like in order to be safe doing toprope or lead I have to trust that so many people, all of whom I've never met, are competent and ethical and diligent. If could set the whole thing up myself I would have no fear of the height. What scares me is that I don't know how the wall was set up. I wish gyms would have somewhere on their website where you could go and see, these are the carabinas we use, this is when they were last replaced etc etc. Then I'd feel safe.
Yes, I understand it’s hard to trust people you don’t know. But isn’t that with most things in life concerning safety? Who is to say the guy that installed the seatbelt in your car knew what he was doing?
Gyms have an annual safety inspection to make sure all is safe, also for insurance certifications. (At least in our country) it also helps to know that all climbing gear have huge safety margins.
But I do agree with you, it would be great if gyms are more transparent in those matters. They should communicate all measures they take in regards to safety to their members.
@@theinsiders-climbingtv5645 Good points. Thank you. I've done one toprope so far. It was terrifying. But I'd like to do it again.
@Neil Du Toit if this reassures you, my boyfriend works at a rock climbing gym and every monday he checks the autobelayers, the ropes and other essential equipement/accessories! Also, his gym always goes for top quality equipment and on top of that, they offer safety courses relating to all aspects of climbing as well as equipment to ensure their gym stays safe and that their employees are able to spot areas that need more care. I'm sure you can always ask about their safety procedures! However, with knowing all of this, I still am really scared hence why I clicked onto this video. hahaha good luck
Hello I'm Sergey and I am fear of lead falls))))) Thanx for material)
Excellent video, going to start introducing this process into my training and hopefully get over the fear (or at least start to). Thanks!
As for a educational video, I'd say that its's pretty entertaining.
excellent video. this is what I need to do over and over again. now to find a belayer that wants to also take a lot of falls because I want to get a lot better at belaying also.
Now I can finally see what everybody is telling me. Im in my own weight class and so we have to use a Ohm, and man I can tell you, you absolutely slam into the wall with a shitload of force. It gives me more Motivation to loose weight, but until then really nothing nice about falling. Funny thing is I am only scared of falling while clipping. But I really try to avoid falling while lead climbing at all costs,because it really hurts.
Nice. Step 4 is the most important.
Thanks, that´s helpful!
1 year lead climbing... still fear of falling.. imma try this
12:48 is her left foot in a bad spot here? Not trying to be “that guy” it’s just sometimes it feels unavoidable that your leg could slip behind the rope and/or the wrong side of a QuickDraw. It happened to me one time and I have since struggled with climbing instinctively because I’m always considering the possibility of where my legs will end up in a fall.
This Vedio is so great !!!
By the way, does someone know what is model of that orange rope in this vedio ?
Thanks❤
You guys are Dutch aren't you
Yep.. what gave us away!? 😅
