- Hazel talks about what she would do differently and what she would do the same if she could start her climbing life again.
To improve your performance in climbing, check out this free webinar: bit.ly/learnwi...
What she would do differently:
1. Get help sooner (from experts and coaches)
2. Learn about fear management sooner
3. Focused on physical training earlier
4. Tracked her menstrual cycle sooner
5. Learn to set big goals sooner
6. Work on having a healthy attachment to climbing sooner
What she would keep the same:
1. Value climbing partners
2. Have a positive metric of success and failure
3. Learned to fall early on
4. Travel a lot
5. Exposure to healthy competition early on
Thanks for talking about how much hormones and your menstrual cycle affects your physical and mental game. I'm starting to find my rhythm in relation to mine. We need to share and talk about this more 😊😊
It's so clear you see the gap in climbing content on youtube. Thank you!! *Such good storytelling.
Please keep this up and stay away from the flashy trends or be led by what the algorithms and viewer data tells you. We love you!
Thanks! It's always a balance, as we need to 'play the game' to some extent to get the views, but don't worry, we want to make sure the content is aligned with our values and isn't just adding to the noise. Thanks for watching!
The period thing is such a big deal
As someone who started bouldering 4 weeks ago, watching these kinds of videos is super interesting! :)
great! you can learn from my 'mistakes' 😂
You are going to have a great life if you continue.
I'm completely hooked! I am working towards completing my first 4b/4c i think. Not quite sure how my gym grades them, but looking at their overview it sounds about right. Trying to be there 2-3 times per week, 1h each. Haven't had this much fun in years, honestly. Started looking at incorporating a bit of dynamic climbing, as I heard that was a good thing for beginners (Emil Abrahamsen recommends so in one of his videos).
Hazel, you are an inspiration to thoughtful climbers of any age, any gender I reckon. Your sensitive engagement with climbing as a pure, holistic form of human expression is just wonderful. As a 56 year old I still think of you as a young lady but there’s some wisdom beyond your years in there. 😁 I’m about to share your vid with my 23 year old, also climber daughter. She’ll love it. Thanks.
Thanks for these kind words!
I'm sure the birth of your baby will have a profound impact but won't change all of the genuinely valuable advice you kindly imparted here, Hazel. In a few weeks' time, I'll be sixty. I still climb twice a week but in younger days my climbing was less about the actual pleasure of movement and more about the outcome. Remember to enjoy yourself, enjoy using your mind and body, and have fun. Achieving your potential is fantastic, but achieving while having a good time is the cherry on top in my view. Start early!
Nice words… my journey to the ripe old age of 62 is similar to yours… enjoy, find joy, keep learning.
Really looking forward to your "fear of falling" course on Blueprint!
Really enjoyed this. Also, would you do a collab with the Wide Boyz? I was intrigued when you mentioned crack climbing.
yes will probably will at some point!
So honest, so awesome and so helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome! 😊
Thank you for such and honest and genuinely vulnerable look at your climbing. As someone stuck right in that line of being a good casual climber and training to break into better grades, it’s been difficult to hear this from my peers. It’s super excited to hear things I’ve been doing well, but also to have this video challenge things that I thought I was doing well. I got a lil defensive at times but love that kind of challenge to my structure. Thank you :)
thanks for the honesty! Feeling a bit uncomfortable is a sign that a sore spot has been hit and I bet there is some interesting stuff for you to explore there
graet vid. I would love to know how the labrum tear was missed, and which specialist figured it out
Love the vid!! Awesome content and super essencial
I climb for fun here in Brazil, but I have a huge problemn when I lead climb, because of fear management. Do you have any tips?
One more time, great vid ❤
we'll probably have some tip videos coming soon but the process of fear management in climbing is BIG which is what our company and courses are all about 😊
Any chance you`ll also make a video for climbers who struggle with keeping their motivation up? Taking just a one week break sometimes feels I'm starting from the beginning and then the fun of climbing takes a big toll. But I loves this video, there were a lot of helpful tips! Thank you!!
Our performance hacks course is perfect for climbers struggling with motivation. Check out this webinar to learn more 😊 bit.ly/learnwithhazel
Great video, thanks for the wisdom!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing how many of the photos from your life that made it in to this video was the second frame on a roll of Portra 400 !
Fantastic insight in this video! I learned a lot and I’m excited to delve a little deeper into some of the concepts to become a better climber.
Some tips for this great new channel:
- Update the “more info” button on the channel homepage to include your name and website
- Start with an introduction in the video as not everyone knows what a wonderfully accomplished professional you are. I recognized you from Josh’s video about fear mgmt and clicked right away!
Keep up the fantastic work!
thanks - we're still new to the youtube game!
Awesome seeing you in your own channel!(:
love your perspective !
Thank you!!
You are so awesome! :)
Could you please make a video on step by step guide on managing fear? I’d love to watch that!
And chapters in the video might have been helpfull
Hi. So, this is much too big a question for a UA-cam video, and it is basically what our whole business runs off helping people with. That would be like asking Lattice Training to create a step-by-step UA-cam video explaining how each of us should get stronger and fitter. We can talk about small parts of that process, but if you really want to work on this you would need to join one of our programs or get coaching through us 😊
Thank you for this great content! How did you manage fear?
Ha! This is way too big a question for a UA-cam comment. I created a whole online course on fear management for climbing called the Strong Mind course. It took me 7 years of coaching and study to feel equipped to create it.
@@StrongMindClimbing I’ll check it out. Thank you for your contribution to this wonderful climbing world 🙏🏽
