You mention that keeping hips close to the wall is more draining than keeping hips out due to flexing your arms, but doesn’t that really depend on the quality of foothold? Maybe it’s just because climbs at your level exclusively have shitty slopey feet, but a lot of slabs at my gym in the intermediate v5-v7 range have good enough feet that I feel like the energy spent pulling into the wall is offset by how relaxed it is to hold the position once I’m directly above the feet.
yeah no for sure. I feel like I've said in the vid that it rather depends on the climb. like the general saying that I was trying to say was "depends" more or less just due to the nature of climbing
Love your perspective. Why is Slab your least favorite? Is it because you mentioned its more shoe dependant and less physical? I want to get better at Slab but as a 35 year old barely intermediate climber, the falling sketches me out. Thanks for the tips!
I'll be in MN bouldering at Taylor Falls. Message me if you'd like to climb together. Also, my first V7 was the same as yours (Moonlit Water) around the same time so that's pretty funny
Bruh I was on a slab yesterday. Crux move standing left foot up in a crystal to get a high right foot. Left foot picked and i skidded down the slab. 😭😭😭💀💀💀
Good tip at 4:20 sometimes we are blinded by the colored holds and forget that smearing is always our good friend.
Imagine a giant climbing hamster wheel but it's stationary obviously. Get some slab, vert, overhang, roof, then all of that but upside down 😳

that is exactly why it's my least favorite. It's a bit too shoe dependent.
Love this video!!!
oh thanks😁

oh thanks. I have to refuse though as it's been raining on/off for like 2-3 weeks now. do the cave boulders though. Those are a banger.
