Hello fellow climbers! Hope you're having a FANTASTIC day today! Question, Were you already implementing these during your warm up? or did you just focus on warming up your fingers and body like I did when I first started climbing? Let me know! Love you all!
Hey man, awesome pointers! I have always cooled down with technique work, but now believe my warm up should include it too. I like your comment too - "Care about every hold". That's a very good way to look at it.
Oh for sure, If you include this 3 tips into your warm up it transfers over to your entire climbing session. You will notice a HUGE difference in your climbing session.
Take care my friend and climb hard!
Wow. Thank you so much! This is very useful, I need to start doing all! I definitely need that flow and control! You should have a whole video on just flow!
You've help me a lot with my foot work and where I should focus ( cuz I was always focus in my strength) nice channel and tips! Keep doing great work!
I don’t do this when I warm up. I warm up with momentum. I move a lot and swing my arms and body around a lot. Tends to loosen things up.
My alternative 3 tips for a successful warmup
1. Power screams
2. Campus
3. Power screams
😂😂 nailed it
lol
Honestly campusing is way underrated. Not as a warmup tho haha let's ignore warmuping for a second. Campusing really improves your pulling strength, durability and most importantly coordination.
Campusing is not just a show off, every beginner/intermediate climber should try campusing.
i would also suggest to avoid those little adjustments you make while gripping the holds in your warmup. Try to think you have sticky hands/feets and you can't readjust your grip, and for your feet you can only rotate through your toe, but not change the position. You will force yourself to move as gentle and precise as posible between holds. (sorry if i'm not clear enough, still working on my english) Nice video as always :)
i mean particularly in the last climb, but might be because is a little too hard for a warmup
Correct, I pretty much work my way up and eventually tend to re adjust on harder projects for obvious reasons. BUT you're totally right and great point as well, thanks for pointing that out!
That's a huge part of my warm up, and it carries into regular climbing. I pretend like every hold is a one shot deal and try to get my hand position perfect every time i place it. Just like the silent feet drills, it slows the warm up climbs down and makes you use your brain.
The climber moves as if he is dancing. Beautiful.
Slightly gay thou! ;)
Yeah I agree
Please don't ever stop this channel
As long as you guys keep watching and find it useful, I'll be here creating for you. Thank you!
This is exactly what I needed as a beginner. Thanks for this
Awesome!
THX DUDE! I´m 38 yo and a month learning to bouldering... I´m in love with this sport. This Chanel ROCKS!
Sweet!! I'm 33 yo my friend. We got this! so excited for you!!
Great video. I’m a new climber that’s been spending the last couple of weeks watching tons of videos. This one is one of the most clear and informational so far! Thanks for the tips. I’ve been having a tough time understanding positioning and footwork. I think this well help me improve quickly!
This is really great to know. Appreciate you! and wish you all the best on your progress. Thank you.
“Every hold matters” Love this concept! Will definitely work into my next workout! Thanks for your amazing videos!
Videos for beginners (me), well-shot/edited with graphics to point out important stuff, links in description to all gear (for climbers and videographers) AND to the music (which is what I was looking for before I made this comment)... you're the man.
Awesome! Thanks man.
Thank you! I got back from my first gym experience today!
I was a climber in the 80's. There were no gyms back then. So after about 30 yrs, finally decided to just do it.
This video was very meaningful to me, as far as paying attention. The gym is a whole different feel than rock. Im greatful to still have the chance to climb, as it has always been, and always will be my first love.
By the way, I found my base today. Not very happy with it, and quite surprised as to just how weak I am.
Never let that stop anyone. I just have to accept it, and make it better! In all honesty, im loving what's in front of me! Thanks for your material! david
Dry inspiring man. You will get stronger and better! Thanks my friend.
I have just started climbing and find it fascinating. While I'm not so young anymore I thought it will be really difficult but thankfully it is easier than I expected also thanks to your videos. They're great! I love them.
Plus the gyms want to make it as accessible as possible, so there will be problems set that everyone can top, no matter their age, fitness or size.
Many thanks for the explanations.The best teachers are not necessarily the best climbers.But you are one of the best teachers I have ever turned to his channel 👍
Thank you!
I always think back to this video when I do warm ups! I've definitely been more conscious of how I place my feet and move my body, and I've improved a lot in this regard over the last few months. It's helped immensely in conserving energy, especially for overhanging routes (something I struggle a lot with). Thank you!!
Dude I'm new to the channel, new to climbing. Have watched hundreds of videos. Spending as much time climbing as possible. Really loving it. Your videos are the best I've ever seen, by far. Orders of magnitude better than anything else I've seen. Clear and insightful. Thank you.
Climbing down during warmup is also good
For sure!
Thanks a ton. Videos like this help me make sense of what I'm seeing the more experienced climbers doing at the gym. Your effort in passing along your knowledge is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Great tips my friend, I will implement those on my next session for sure! Thank you for taking the time to help us getting better
For sure man, I'm happy to share what I've learned to my fellow climbers. Thank you!
A beginner here. The video is very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Your videos have really pushed me from a total noob climber to an amateur, thanks! I never knew I was developing flow by accident, but now that I see it and see that it's a "thing", ive been picking it up on my own, which I suppose is a good thing!
your explanations are really clear and useful. I admire that. Thanks!
By far the best, BEST, step-by-step, tips video I've seen. In my two-month journey into climbing your videos have helped so much and made my experience much enjoyable. Awesome work you're putting out there. Please keep them coming! Your old videos are so relevant. You may want to do recap with Sophia. IMO, it is not intuitive to review older videos, specially on a smartphone.
Cheers!
This is the best one I've ever watched in this channel!! I can't wait to try them all tmr! actually Im working on 3rd tip these days which is really hard.. I feel like Im not ever gonna make it.. I will keep on it though, thanks!!
So glad that I found this channel. First of all, congratulation for your improvements and thank you for all the tips you share.
Of course man, and supper glad you've found us =) More awesome tips coming your way! Thank you.
For myself:
-footwork (silent feet)
-body position (adjust body based on center of gravity, shift hips/body weight)
-flow…focus on each and every hold (vs just getting to the top)
Damn good video! ¨Silent foot¨ is noted and will be tested todays session!
"Elvis footwork" 😂 definitely guilty of that one.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing these. I’ve been climbing for a few months now and starting to get a bit more comfortable and using my body to my advantage more during climbs. Another great tip that helps during silent feet I found really useful was to avoid readjusting hands and feet multiple times after initial contact with holds. This also helps sharpen focus/reading routes/thinking more about the holds and can avoid wasting extra energy on some trickier climbs (especially overhangs). Can’t wait to get better at moving my body as you describe to evenly distribute weight over/below holds correctly and get more of a flow.
Wow this helped me so much! Thank you! It really is an art form!
Nice man, Im going to work on positioning and flow a lot more for sure. I have about as much flow as a cement block. I definitely climb to reach the top and i will try to take care with every hold from now on! Thank you for another great video, always a great day when there is new rockentry content!
LOL!! cement block, oh boy thats no good. You do this and in a few months your flow will be like water my friend =) Glad I could help and also glad you got the point of the video. Thanks for the support and for adding your points to the community. you rock!
Best beginner climbing videos on youtube!
6:50 hahaha you know you have a solid foot work when it seems so hard to show the wrong way 😄 you automatically rolled over with your right foot and even turned your hips, then it was like "oh shit no, I have to hopp" 😄😁
Very very good teaching. The way you teach makes the techniques really clear. Keep up the excellent work!
These three tips to take your climbing to the next level! Doctors Hate Him!
How is this not the top comment haha
Great tips! During my warm up I've been incorporating footwork drills on the traversal wall at my gym for months now. Flow and body position are not something I actively work on warming up.
Thats great! Months of footwork drills I could just imagine you having it pretty good control on your feet. Try and apply the other two and see how it goes =) Thank you!
I think your videos are super effective for learning, now adays i have a shoulderache and cannot climb but luckily i found your videos very intresting and usefull, keep making them clear and precised :)
Thanks man! Wishing you a fast recovery! :)
thank god for this video. No wonder my arms have been blasted every session bcs of my positioning e.t.c
I'm a beginner and this was SO helpful! Thanks ☺
Climbing can be very disappointing when you consider the subjectivity in grading. I watch tons of UA-cam videos where brand new climbers are walking into gyms and sending v3 and v4 problems easily and then I walk into my gym and if I send a v3 it’s an excellent day and I’m a pretty decent climber. I was told that my gym sets comp style boulders and that they’re at least a grade or two harder than most other gyms but it still stinks to not really have a clear idea as to where you stand grade wise. Guess it doesn’t really matter and learning body positioning, footwork, and flow are ultimately more critical to progress but still, would be nice to know where I stand grade wise. Great video though oswaldo✌🏽
가장 중요하면서 기본적인 것을 쉽게 이해할수 있도록 설명한 좋은 영상에 감사드립니다.
늘 잊지 않고 영상을 따라한다면 좋은 클라이머가 될 것이라 믿습니다.
That´s useful advice - thank you!
Love your beginners videos! So helpful!
Amazing guide ! Thx alot!
Gonna try this on my next session
For sure! let me know how it goes! I'm sure you will feel a difference. At first its tricky but slowly you will get the flow.
Thank you great tips and beautiful climbing.
Hi just started claiming and I love your videos. Very helpful thanks
Great video mate! Beautiful climbing indeed!
Really great video. The way you move utilizes technique so obviously that it has helped me too see the things that I should be doing differently in order to maximize conserving energy and effectively climb
Today is climbing day! I'll be trying those tips for sure!
Nice, DO IT!!! hope you crush it today!
I loved this video, thank you for the tips! Great work!
Loved this! Thanks!
Thanks that really helps❤
Love how silent feet forces you to use core, too -- these are great tips, thanks!
Very true, It does force you to use your core which is another plus! Thanks Sandra :)
What does "core" mean? Sorry, french beginner here! ^^'
@@gregorydesprez7520 it's basically having strong abs (seen those climber 6 packs?)that help with everything from balance to maintaining tension and stability. Something I'm always working on-- my weakness!!
Oh ok! Thanks for the quick answer! I absolutely didn't know I had to use them :') So many things to remember. :o
@@gregorydesprez7520 Core = tronc. Il s'agit de contracter le centre de son corps pour conserver son corps près de la paroi et pour aider à contrôler les mouvements. Le tout va devenir de plus en plus nécessaire et donc évident avec ta progression. Le défi est de faire tout ça et de continuer à respirer :p
"Elvis Footwork", nice :D
Awesome tips thanks!! 😊
Great video thanks
Great content my dude
Thank you!
I love you, man!
Love you too brotha ;)
Excellent video! Thank you for posting.
Thank you for watching!
Just come back home from bouldering, watching this fruitful video. Good job bro!
Hope you crushed it today!! Thanks my dude!
Yeah got some progress each time. I have just been in this game for 3 months and really love it, started to watch your videos since then and they are very helpful. The quality of your videos are high and the channel grows fast, congrats and keep going!!
Great video! I've been climbing once a week for about 3 months and while I see myself getting stronger, around V2, but sometimes my technique is awful. I clearly know I should be using a lot less hand muscle than I am. I've started doing silent footwork at warmup and cooldown. About body positioning, I'm a bit confused about the example you're showing. Where should you have your center of gravity?
-Sneak Skill Leveled Up-
Very smart video, thanks !
1:54 MAYBE USE YOUR TOE
hehehe I noticed that too. I think she was talking to another climber.
All three tips said the same thing: using static style while warming up
I force myself to climb static during my warmup, tall people are dynamic and can reach things ends up being a crutch
good job as always dude.
Appreciate ya! Thank you.
Really nice video, mate! Well made and good communication! Just subbed :D
Thanks man, I Appreciatiate it! And welcome my new friend :)
Muchísimas gracias!
I like your Video very much!!!
Great tips! Appreciate it!
Thank you! and I appreciate ya! =)
Very useful, great tips!!!
Thank you!
I would love to have a climbing lesson with you. If you’re ever in San diego……
So rad, thanks a million! What sort of pants are those?
I got these pants long time ago at a thrift store but they ripped and don't remember what brand they were.
My question to you: What pants are those? And generally, what bottoms do sport climbers wear?
So this is how you get the singular Ozzy flow? Great video my friend! :)
hehehe the secret is out! Thank you my booooy brent!!!!
Awesome content
Weird question, but what pants do you use for climbing? I am done wearing gym shorts.
Thanks so much for a helpful video again! I keep seeing what I really need to improve and work on. Like the Elvis feet, doing them all the time^^ I already pay a lot attention to foot placement but I cannot figure out how to move my center of gravity in a smart way...It Looks so intuitive watching more experienced climbers but when I´m on the wall i keep forgetting about it. Maybe because I get nervous the higher I get and my anxiety keeps kicking in :D Any advice for that?
Hi Jen, Body positioning comes with practice and at first its very awkward. What I would suggest is don't focus climbing to the top yet.
1. Practice at the bottom half of the climbs don't go all the way to the top, this way you don't add fear or anxiety as you're trying to improve body position.
2. Focus on shifting your feet when moving your body, get comfortable adjusting and or switching feet.
3. Stick to a boulder or two problems and get a feel of the difference when you do this often. Watch this video again if you need to, just so you get a feel how I move up and down the wall.
Thanks so much for watching and I hope this tips help :). There will be a time where you will feel a HUGE difference once you implement this into your climbs.
rockentry thanks for the reply! Taking your advice by heart and will use it in my next session:)
95% climbing, 5% flair
Chotskies manager would be proud
Just started climbing and going to try these exercises today! I had one question though at 3:30 they say "if you climb straight up you are using your arms" but surely you can also climb straight up and just use your legs? Like climbing a ladder is straight up but you can do it with just your legs. Or is it just that shifting your body makes it all easier?
Useful
thank you
Welcome
silence , cuz you’re ninja!
No hold left behind!
So basically just climb like a ninja, guys ;)
You da bomb O
He means 'improve' technique .
Climbing is like ballet
We are dancing on the wall. I agree!
