Intro to Rock Climbing for Beginners - How to, Terminology & Gear [4K]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Learning to climb can be a bit daunting for beginners. You need to know how to navigate the gym, what rock climbing gear to buy/rent, and generally might be intimidated by the lingo everyone is using, not to mention the climbing and belaying training you have to go through. Anytime you get into something new, these feelings come up. Yet it doesn't need to be like this, which brings us to the point of our BLUF videos. Hopefully this rock climbing video gives you a little bit of knowledge of the sport and an idea of how much fun climbing can be so you can make the decision on jumping in or looking elsewhere.
The outdoor climbing in this video was at Castle Rock State Park in California. The indoor climbing was at Rock Out Climbing Gym in Destin, Florida.

*SO WE WEREN'T CLIMBING, BUT WE WERE IN UGANDA AND A GORILLA CHARGED ME AND GRABBED MY LEG, AND I ALMOST TRIED TO CLIMB A TREE TO GET AWAY*

Cant have shit in uganda 💀💀💀
That’s terrifying! A gorilla is strong enough to tear you limb off!
I would have taken a poo poo. Like-a da ice cream.
I’m going on date and we’re rock climbing. Please pray for me.
Edit: I had fun with rock climbing man but it wasnt meant to be. I met someone else and we are still together 2 years later.
Rock climbing isn't for me. 🤣
You’ll do great!! ✌️
Kirsty Briggs same I searching this bc it’s my first time
I hope you enjoyed it, my 3 year old asks me every morning, and every day when I come home, to go rock climbing.
How did it go?
ANSWER!!!
I’m from Australia and I love watching your climbing video. I started climbing two years ago for a new challenge, it gave me confidence and last year I went to a lunch event and met the man of my dreams who is now my husband. He can’t climb due to a medical issue but I do bouldering about twice a week. I have subscribed to your channel and anyone can learn at any age.
1:37 atmosphere in the background, nice
that was really good for someone like me who hasn't tried it yet - THANK YOU
I realy like the format of your video. Jumping back to provide lingo in context is a nice touch. i'm going to subscribe. Now.... time to binge your channel.
Love it! Start with season 1! 😛
Anyone can get into climbing assuming there is a climbing gym nearby.... :/
CJ Langley or rocks that are big enough to hug
Yeah, no way for someone like me who isn't nearby one... There are natural climbing sites in my village (People call em hills, lol) but those are too hard for beginner
exactly :(
@5:35 Thats pretty neat!
Me before the video: time to learn how to climb so I don’t look like a dork among veteran rock climbers
Me during the video: dang, that jerky looks delicious
Me after the video: WHERE DO I FIND A HOGEY THAT BIG!?!
Please comment below if you know a good sandwich place
I can't hear voice properly because of background music
Me neither. 😫
Same, i can't even really hear the music either just the hard bass which sounds like someone banging pots and pans together
Extremely annoying.
Get me to this gym with Slug in the background
Is that an artist?
Thought the same thing🔥 s/o whoever has this playlist!
heloo, can i use your video on my TV Program channel? i am a one of the creative team at KUY! GTV
and of course your channel youtube's name will published too
i'm waiting for your feedback, thank you..
im trying to focus and understand what you are saying but the music blasting in the background doesnt help
We know, we wish it wasn't so loud!
How can she climb with those nails
Years of practice? 🤷🏻♂️
I would learn a bit more about climbing and upload a better video for beginners
I love seeing a climbing video from someone who isn't a crazy good climber
Thanks! I think? Yea, climbing is hard, haha 😆
felt like this was a lowkey roast lol
Yeaaa I dunno maybe
TaylorBedo but also if you look at other climbing channels you have people like Magnus Midtbo and compared to that, he is a beginner (no offense). I mean Magnus can do a freaking 1 arm muscle up and 20 muscle ups after a long climbing day, and he also has amazing technique so it isn’t just pure strength either, etc.
Yes! I found this WAY more helpful because it felt in reach (haha). Seeing someone who I can look to get to without feeling way too far behind was really nice :)
climbing gives you different vibes that somehow can change your outlook in life.
Adrenaline is centering...nature is good for the brain...so seems like it would make life better for sure
“It’s called a figure 8 because it’s a figure 8, you can see that it is a figure 8 by the way that it is” might be my favorite part of the video lmao
Is the beard required?
Having a beard is recommended when climbing, but not mandatory 😐
Fair game then.
Yes
Unfortunately
There are two types of people. Men with beards and women
I remember when my cousin took us climbing at a gym. It was REALLY fun, though I couldn't do the boulder climbs. I'm excited to drive down to my local climbing center, even though I'll be alone, I think I'll have a good time learning.
Went rock climbing (bouldering) with a friend for the first time ever yesterday and had so much fun! I started with VB and V1 but got all the way up to climbing multiple V3!! Honestly really proud of myself
Lemme just say I embarrassed myself to death when I went rock climbing with friends at a fair 😭 I couldn’t even do it and their was a crowd in line just watching mee and I know they were laugh lol 😂 IT LOOKED SOO EASY but bro I was wrong loll I’m watching videos how to rock climb so this never happens again :/ lol
I hope you improve and go to a fair and show everyone how to climb like a pro 😁
Everyone does (or at least feel like they do) their first time!
Same lol i thought it would be easy lol nope
This is something I've been wanting to try but it's so freaking terrifying.
Go for it Jack! 😁
Same i tried it once and i kinda clamed up it was kinda scary lol
Lol what happens if you fall
when the question on the test says to explain your answer
5:38
Being short has it’s advantages and disadvantages. Good for weight/grip ratio but when long reaches are needed I have to often jump more.
The fact that y’all are playing Atmosphere in that gym is bad ass!!!!!
I’m studying videos atm, I have a fear of heights. And I just recently conquered a tall ladder and stairs. But I wanna start out slow with this and ease my way in. I conquered my entire arachnid phobia, I no longer fear spiders and other arachnids. I conquered my severe fear of doctors and needles… Nos it’s time for this. ^^
i just started a couple of weeks ago and i love it! i am not very good at all. i am doing V1 climbs, but i think that is only because i have always worked out. climbing is tough, but really rewarding! thanks for the awesome video!
You’ll be crushing V3s in no time!!
@@BottomLineUpFront thank you so much! i hope so!
let me tell you noobs a little story about wearing helmets,
for years I skated, mostly street, with no helmet, went to the local indoor park one day with my friends and they had introduced a new compulsory helmet policy after some crazy parent tried to sue the skate park.
we all bought one and went at it.
after skating some ledges and rails I went to drop in on an empty pipe, it was not a big ramp only about 5ft high.
every thing normal, tail on the coping, dropped in and disaster.... I didn't know it but I'd snapped my back kingpin on a previous landing...
my board fish tailed all over the place, I came off, my ass hit the other side and the back of my head smashed the steel coping so loudly the whole park stopped to see what had just happened...
i shrugged it off and fiddled with my snapped King pin, 45 minutes later... I didn't know my name, how old I was, where I lived, where I was or who I was with... passed out.... 8hrs later I woke up on my friends dinning room table...
if I wasn't wearing that helmet I'm pretty sure I'd have permanent brain damage.
my advice buy a helmet first.... your dealing with a lot more force than skating a small halfpipe
and as you go forward dont forget to assess the equipment your using, is it time to retire it before something bad happens?
goes for anything, cars, lovers, friends, jobs, get in and get out. safely.
8 billion people and 155 million km2 to explore, what ya hanging around for 😉
I dont know who that girl is but my goodness she is incredibly gorgeous with that beautiful spirit and smile.
That’s a great compliment! 😁✌️
Bodhi Evel 😳😬 I’m pretty sure that’s his girl, man.
They all have great spirits, I feel comfy when I'm watching this content
Thumb's up for Atmosphere in the background :) And a helpful climbing video!
My phone doesn’t have 4K
I am glade there are climbing videos like this! I love climbing! the hardest one I have completed was 5.11
That’s actually really good!
Really enjoyed this video. Would live to see more climbing tutorials. I use to climb a lot and am getting back into it but really enjoyed the basics instruction and felt it was very informative.
Thanks! When’s the last time you climbed??
@@BottomLineUpFront about 2 weeks ago. Me and my brother went for his bachelor party since we used to climb all the time.
I’m 28 and just getting into climbing I really appreciated your video
Don't forget a helmet when you climb outside! Def don't want to knock out your belayer with a loose rock, or worse, your cellphone!😳
ATMOSPHERE SUNSHINE bumping in the background.
the song??
Unrelated but i know the song that they were playing in this gym for a minute! I was literally listening to it earlier lol
You can’t play Atmos’ and expect me to hear what you’re saying as well
Not even paying attention to the they guy explaining, im just listening to the fire tunes playing in th background lol
It was bumpin'
When you start climbing, should/do you get a trainer/coach to guide you? Or just frequently visit the climbing gym and gain experience over time?
Just start hitting the climbing gym and make friends with the regulars, it’s pretty easy to get into; climbers are known to be friendly people!
Just start hitting the climbing gym and learn how to belay, once you get more into it it’ll be easy to meet more and more people who are in and love the sport. Just get out there and do it!
At most climbing gym you can request a short (20-30 min) intro to how to climb, literaly the basics, then after that just push yourself as hard as you can. You can check out my chanel for some clips if u want☺
Take a belay class and offer catches to people that know how to climb. In turn they will belay you and naturally help coach you up the wall.
As a newer climber, this is fun to watch. People need to know depending on how you climb numbers aren't a thing. Try what you can. Go for it!
ok, so i'm a bigger guy. about 330 currently. but thankfully not all fat. at my skinniest i was about 260 and pretty much solid muscle (I was in the army in iraq at the time) i'm also 6'3" if i got back down to a manageable weight, would it be feasible for me to start rock climbing? i've always been really interested in it and have climbed rock bluffs and things when on the coast. i'm sure that's much easier than a rock wall, but i've always had in interest in climbing.
I think so, definitely. I’ve seen some guys way less “fit” than me that can out climb me any day, so much about technique goes into climbing, not to mention grip strength and forearm endurance! Best bet is to go to a gym and just get on a wall ✌️
i’m a year late, but thank you for your service
Wow, lotsa fun when other ppl w/ U. W/ belayer & rope, there's safety practices. Thx 4 sharing on the internet. Keep on rock climbing.
I hear Atmosphere in the background
Okay I'm excited, I thought my only option was this one gym that was 20 bucks a month but I found one that is just bouldering and that's 5 bucks for the whole day, and only 10 minutes away from me. I think that'll be a great start
5 bucks a day is gonna cost more than 20 per month if you go 5 times in a month
Let's go climb!
you have to do it or they won't letchyu do it
Exactly.
I mean- i can't say it wasn't educational... but unfortunately the rhetoric is not sound and has sloppy ethos. It is important to recognize just because there were flaws, the video is not invalidated- but when we are talking about standard practice... the discussion might come in there.
Love how she quoted neature walk at 5:37
Well it was pretty neat and we don’t want it to be only her knowin it 😋
Went rock climbing (bouldering) with a friend for the first time ever yesterday and had so much fun! I started with VB and V1 but got all the way up to climbing multiple V3!! Honestly really proud of myself
Dude, one dead serious criticism. I would be a complete beginner. I came here looking for basic information. The extraneous noise and music on the sound track detract from your words, your information. I can barely understand you over the noise. Lose it...
Amazing, thanks for all the terminology! We just started climbing a couple weeks ago and posted some of our v1 and v2 climbs! would be amazing if you could give us feedback on ours!!! :D
True that basic equipment will not cost thousands of dollars, but gym membership will per annum.
I'm just about to get into climbing. One, because I'd lke to climb, but secondly, it seems like most of the people who climb are generally happier people in life (from what I've seen and heard anyway).
That's a great point!
Why the loud music ?
WAS THAT A NEATURE WALK REFERENCE?!?!?! "you can see that its a figure 8 by the way that it is"
Just exploring & watching different rock climb vids. I believe I want to start.
But I'm not sure where to start.
Lou
Love hearing Atmosphere bumping in the background at the gym. 👌
Found out there is a huge gym in the area we moved to. Going today and I really hope they welcome new comers but 99.9% of the time people in niche hobbies are terrible with new people.
This would have to be my starting point. I really appreciate their love for climbing, but at 80 I don't think I'll start.
Well, you could certainly try, and just get on the V0s for a bit of fun? 😁
This was so helpful BLUF - Thank you!
I'm so terrified of heights and I got invited to rock climbing still not sure it's a date hahaha besides the point I'm scared but I'm excited. I'll live though I keep telling myself hahaha. But I've literally cried in situations people would die laughing at me hahaha anyways wish me luck 🤣🤣😵😵😵😵🤔
Is that a Lenny Pepperbottom "Neature Walk" reference at 5:38? 😂 "Oh wow look, an aspen! You can tell that it's an aspen by the way it is!"
You got it!!
Great intro video to climbing might give this a shot this summer since snowboard season is over
Go for it! Do you have a local climbing gym or are you going to go for the real deal (outdoor on a mountain)?
I’m not sure I’d have to look around and see I probably should do indoor Since I’ve never done it before
All crimps should just be yellow cause the yellow ones always suck
Haha!
Atmosphere playing in the background
Awesome video - really cool to see both bouldering and top roping! Btw - just discovered your channel and noticed much your interests overlap with mine. Bouldering, travel, minimalism, etc. I'm also planning to quit my job to travel the world within the next year. Really cool to find another channel with such similar interests! Just subscribed. Look forward to following :)
Thanks James! We're super stoked for what's about to come, kind of feels like we are waiting for Christmas as the days crawl by. We'll start our journey around mid-December :)
@@BottomLineUpFront Good luck!
Thank you I'ma get out my comfort zone and give climbing a shot ..
so much noise in the background.. i can barely understand what he is saying
Cant wait to get into climbing
It’s a great sport - when are you starting??
I like this. Honest. No BS.
Alright so it doesn't cost that much to get started? I think I've just gotta find a way to afford the gyms so that I can also still do a couple other hobbies too...I need this in my life man...
We will admit that the gyms have gotten a little pricey -- I think that can be attributed to climbing becoming more and more popular.
Idk why im here lmao i’m a rockclimber that only has 2 years experience n i can only climb V2 boulded n lead
I'm not really aware of how hard it is to climb as a beginner but is it good if I'm sending anywhere from a v5-v6 with 8 weeks experience?
Le Stag its rly good its q hard tbh to do V5/V6
Le Stag can u lead tho
@@ryujinxyyeji Nah I haven't learnt yet I usually just boulder
@@ryujinxyyeji Do u think I should try and learn to lead climb?
but how do u get the rope to the top of the cliff to attach the pulley
Every dude who climbs has a caveman beard
6:33 she takes her brake hand off the rope. #1 no-no for belaying
Look again friend, the left hand is on the rope when she advances the right, not too uncommon for belaying.
@@BottomLineUpFront left hand is above the braking mechanism on the climber's end of the rope
"here's tips for beginners. The most important... *rap music blasting*
Yeeaaaa we know...
I like her shes so awesome....
The awesomest ✌️
Have you been to the red goat in York?
You were pinching the 'crimper'
Horrible video. Turn off the music. We are trying to learn
Sorry I don’t own the gym Buddy
Going to go to my local climbing gym this week about 30 minutes away. Started taking mtb more seriously a year and a half or 2 ago and have somewhere in the 2000-2500 mile range in so It wouldn’t be first sport to fall in love with. I have 5-6 huge boulders in my yard largest one is 40-50x30-40 and about 15-20feet tall. We’ve actually had people come and boulder on them before there’s a pretty hard vertical route that i definitely can’t do I used to use my moms rock climbing shoes😂 so much to learn I can’t wait and I’ve got practice in my backyard😂
Even kids in wheelchairs?
I'm a rock fisherman, I use a G string as a harness, gumboots for climbing, and luers for bait. So there, LOL, ok? Just LOL don't flame me plith.
Ug! Climbing at Castle Rock State Park! Those climbs you were trying to do ARE very slippery. I hope you moved over to the better clinging to the right of that area.
Waaaaaaay to fast for beginners, easy tiger
Goq ss i Climb>
My hands are always sweaty. I think this is not for me.
You must use some chalk to dry your hands!
What are the finger holds called that are little divots in the rock barely big enough to fit a thumb that you can use to grip and lift yourself on call??? That to me is impossible
I can’t wait for when I am able to experience climbing… inside and outside. Right now i’m working on losing weight (it will be HARD to support myself climbing when i’m overweight) so then it can be easier. I’m so excited for this new chapter so experience in my life.
I'm going to start going to the rock climbing gym with my brother every Saturday starting in two days! It's basically my dream to be fit, but I've been too scared to try because of medical issue so wish me luck :D
5:30 “You can see that it’s a figure 8 by the way that it is”
tHaT’s PrEtTy NeAt!
4:29 climbing
I really like your video. My likes 👌👌👌. Thank you very much
Background music way too loud!
Let me go turn it down real quick
dyno on a V1??
Thanks
Okay but do I have to wear shoes?! Cause I would rather not 😂
You need shoes! Unless your feet are as tough as leather 😆
Castle rock looks sick! I need to take a road trip ^^
