    Tip three goes right to one of my biggest skill gaps. I am terrible at reading routes and remembering sequences. I’ve thought about trying to address it, but never really knew where to start. I’ll try to completely memorize a problem and see how that goes. Of course, I can’t remember where I parked my car or left my glasses, but…😊
    Thanks for another great video!

    When it comes to the fear factor I have created this proses for myself: 1. Why am I scared? Is it rational or not? if so what can be done to lessen the danger? Do I maybe need to gain more crimp strength first or more experience in this movement? Its fair not to do it then. 2. climb to the hold I'm going for a different way and see how it feels. When possible climb the move backwards. (sometimes this can lead back to step 1) 3. Start doing the move without fully committing, like just slapping the wall, then next time touching the hold. It can also be weighing the sketchy foot step by step, first using a jug from a different climb. 4. is usually where I do the move and find it's not that scary anymore.

    Well, I tore my ACL and meniscus from a "clean" fall in an indoor bouldering gym, which for me led to no climbing for over a year as I had a hard recovery process. Serious injuries from falls that actually don't seem so bad happen all the time. Nowadays, I will walk away more often than not if a top feels unsafe. Nothing is worth going through this injury again. Sure, its not black and white, I get that. But most of us are not professional athletes and are doing this sport for fun and let me tell you, a serious injury is not fun at all. In general, I just wish there would be more understanding that the risks we are taking are actually real and not just hypothetical.

    • @hannahmorrisbouldering
      @hannahmorrisbouldering  Рік тому +4

      Sorry to hear about your ACL, that sounds horrible! Absolutely, bad falls can happen indoors, and in seemingly safe circumstances and they can be huge set backs. Climbers should assess the personal risk and be aware of their limitations for sure, hope you’re on the road to recovery and your injury doesn’t give you any residual issue!

  • @Gadgetmawombo

    What got me into climbing is top roping. I could try practically any move and if I missed or slipped off I hang there in mid air. It LOOKS scarier because of how high you can go.
    But theres way less consequence for failing a move. I like bouldering too now but just last week I had a bad fall and landed on my lower back awkwardly from like 12ft up. I thought for a moment there id broken something! If i could have done that same boulder as a top rope id have just hung there.
    Maybe swung a bit and scraped my knee on the wall a tad at worst.

    Not sure I agree with Tip 2 - most important thing when climbing in my opinion is being safe and committing to moves only when you feel comfortable doing so. I've seen people fall half a meter of the wall and have dislocations/breaks. Agree with the sentiment around pushing boundaries though, but important to be feel safe when doing so.

    • @emterroso
      @emterroso Рік тому +2

      Agreed. Every now and then I see an ambulance in front of the gym and I have friends who had fractures and dislocations from falling on the mattress, while bouldering indoors. As someone who climbs as a hobby, to me, no boulder is worth a serious injury. If I'm not confident I can do a move safely, I don't do it.

    • @hannahmorrisbouldering
      @hannahmorrisbouldering  Рік тому +6

      I also agree that you could only do moves when you've accurately assessed the risk - no need to put yourself in danger recklessly. I think Anna's point was getting to how you can properly assess the risk and figure out when hesitance is holding you back. Of course, accidents can and do happen, but confidence to try when you've rationalised the chance of injury is an important part of trying hard and pushing your boundaries.

    • @simonrobbins815
      @simonrobbins815 Рік тому

      @@hannahmorrisbouldering I don't think it's about recklessly endangering yourself, or even properly assessing the risk. When training at the gym the priority should arguably be avoiding injury most of the time and there is objective risk in indoor bouldering. Yes, avoiding hesitancy and being able to push yourself are critical to climbing progression but the possibility of injury from a fall while bouldering shouldn't be underestimated because it's where most injuries happen at indoor gyms.

    • @TheMisterKoala
      @TheMisterKoala Рік тому +2

      @emterroso Рік тому +3

      @@TheMisterKoala her exact words at 7:20 were: "I don't want to do this move in this position because I'm scared of what might happen. Yes, outside it's a little different, obviously, because sometimes what might happen can actually be quite bad. But in an indoor situation, what's really gonna happen if you fall off there? You know? Your feet are below you. It's going to be a safe clean fall. Nothing's really going to happen."
      To me, that's downplaying the risks. For her, that might be true, because she's in great shape and knows how to fall. But for the average climbing gym goer, there's a real risk of injury. I don't think telling them (us) that nothing can happen is a good idea.

    I call bs on the "what could happen?". I've seen so many ambulances being called in because of accidents in the bouldering gym. Sometimes fear is good and it keeps you safe.

    • @hannahmorrisbouldering
      @hannahmorrisbouldering  Рік тому +1

      I agree fear can be a good thing, Anna also says that herself in the video if I remember correctly. What Anna is suggesting is that fear in some situations can hold us back and you can build confidence in your own climbing such that you can make more accurate risk assessment on moves that feel scary, but aren't likely to be dangerous. Of course, accidents and injuries can and do happen, but to try and avoid any risk entirely isn't helpful, and can hinder progression.

  • @GrecianGoat
    @GrecianGoat Рік тому +1

    The fear thing is a self fulfilling prophecy. If you're scared to commit to the move you're gonna do it halfway and fall off, which leads to you being _more_ afraid to commit. And commitment is sometimes the only way to finish moves like that

    I'm curious how often people incorporate falling practice in a session. I'm a new climber that's come from a bit of parkour background so I'm used to being aware of my height and judging the risk involved with it. The difference in climbing though is I have a massive padded floor instead of concrete so my risk evaluation isn't quite true when I keep my outdoor instincts. I'm thinking of maybe practicing some bails to get a feel for how high up I can take a fall comfortably. Also getting a feel for the best way to land on the mat. Landing flat backwards isn't quite in my subconscious but maybe it's the best way to land on a crash mat. I've seen someone take a fall high up and come real close to hitting a volume on the way down, so I'm also curious if I can drill into my subconscious quickly pushing away from the wall on a bail
