I would add one thing to #1 that made a big difference for my climbing: When placing your foot, look at it and actively focus on perfect placement before moving on. Like that you are aware that your foot is safe and you are more confident to putting pressure on it.
Me too and making the foot placement silent also makes me focus on better placement. I had a master class lesson with Neil Gresham and he taught this along with trying to only place the foot once rather than shuffling it around. Makes you aware and makes you think more. My climbing has got a lot better since.
@@matthunt5378yes, but this means you’ll have to have the strength to hold your body steady while placing your foot. Most beginners, and also some intermediates lack this.
@@matthunt5378I call this one touch with my team kids. You only get to touch the hold once so you have to place perfectly. Can be a hand or footwork drill
Thanks for the tips. I love the way you keep in the slips, falls or verbal tangles in the video. with your sense of fun and casualness, it makes it very enjoyable to watch.
Dyam Sofya keeps these fire content coming! Could you tell us a bit more on how you recover faster? I am so addicted to climbing but forearm always feels a bit tired after 2-3 days of resting
My arms and shoulders feel better the next day since doing some solid work on straight arm climbing. Cranking too much gives you flamed out forearms and achy shoulders and elbows.
I wouldn't say i recover faster but it's more that your body gets used to it ahah I still get sore forearms too! but there are things that i do which seem to help and it's exactly what everyone said above: i would say try to reduce the amount of rest so like 1-2 rest days max which means climbing a bit more throughout the week if you can (i rest max 1-2 days during my training phase and no matter how long i rest i always feel my forearms when warming up). Which brings me to warming up properly (i have a video coming out soon 😜). I do a good 15-30 min off the wall warm up (active stretching, elastic bands, light hangs...). Maybe some finger/forearm strengthening exercises like hangboarding or palms-up/down wrist curls. And then protein intake after every sesh (helps for recovery!) and eating enough protein in general throughout the day. Sleeping enough (i sleep 8-10h every night but i need a looot of sleep otherwise i die ahah). And i stretch and foam roll almost every evening, i find this is really what helps the most!! Hope this heeelps :)
For any climbers like me who would like to try the silent feet at 3:19 but are hard of hearing like myself and don't hear it when we just plop our feet down 😂. I either recommend going with a friend at a less busy time and let them listen or use a spray wall place your phone close to the wall while having the microphone app open. It should show you the sound waves if they stay low you know your being silent. Just practice that close to your phone for a few minutes. When you got the feel you can try it without your phone on actual climbs!
Great tips! Especially because I am someone, who always relies on strength haha. The breathing seems very useful. I think I am already applying this technique pretty well, but subconsciously. Will try to do it more concsciously in the next session. The first background beat sounds familiar. Is it from spring gang - and then i wake up? Awesome! Also 10:44 is just nuts. You go girl :)
Thanks for the tips, I'll keep them in mind for my next session ! I was wondering for a girl where can I have good pants for bouldering/climbing. I have been using leggings but I'd like some good pants. Only find men pants...
I'm wearing my boyfriend's old team pants ... I can't find many good pants for women either :( The other pair of pants i have for women are from On Running (the track pants -- they are lighter and i wear them more often for climbing and the active pants). But they're quite expensive and i wear XS and still have to roll them up cause they're too long for me 🥲 But they are really nice!
A climber making a blog about real climbing... And it's very informative, fun to watch and easy to understand. No need for crazyness in the gym if you can talk this clear about movement. It also shows your love for the sport, keep 'm coming!
I really like those videos where someone explains the technique, thought and mechanics of every single move on a boulder, as she did in the recap. There are so many subconsious or hidden details in a climb that often make hard boulders look easy.
Great beginner tips especially on keeping your shoulders engaged!!! That’ll help with reducing the strain on your joints and reduce injury especially with sudden foot slips.
I bet Sofya has a more pro answer, but what helps me a lot is simply Bepantene, when my fingers are on the edge. Also adding an off the wall session (pull-ups, lock-offs, core, mobility) to give the fingers an extra day to recover.
I am very lucky that my skin is quite good in general but rhino skin repair and performance helps me tons when my skin is on edge! (Performance makes my skin a bit more hard so the next day it lasts longer but i wouldn't recommend using this everyday cause it does dry the skin out a lot and can cause cuts in the fingertips so i alternate with the repair cream). And otherwise a lot of climbers use antihydral (only to put on your fingertips, it stops them from sweating BUT you need to have good skin to use it, it's not a skin repair cream!). Some put it on over night but that makes the skin veryyyy thick and glassy i don't like it and others for 1h so you would def need to try different things out and see what works best for you! And otherwise alternating climbing days and rest days (or off the wall sessions). Or just using tape when skin is bad which sucks but is also very efficient.
@yokoyama I think it is easier for the core muscles to hold tension, if the diaphragm is up -- the belly is drawn in. And to avoid strip breakage (Hernia inguinalis, as a man). .

Typiquement beaucoup ! Après c'est mignon les tocs de languages, on en a tous !
I dont remember how many times you said it, but i am drunk now.
Nice game haha
I wish I hadn't read this comment part-way through the video... I probably wouldn't have noticed lol..
i counted only 7 or 8, but all of them in the second half, so it seems like more

This will also save your shoe rubber and span the life of your climbing shoes 😃

I will even tell it to "sit" and " stay" like a pup 😊

stretch, massage and have more protein my friend
Sleep is the most important part of recovery
Try to shorten the session and do more sessions instead. One to two days rest should be okay. If not it takes time to adopt the body.

There are tons of "top tips for climbing" videos on the internet but this one is one of the best I watched!

4:51 griffe => claw.
You try to claw the holds with your toes.
Thank youuu!
12 typicallys
An average of 1 typically per minute, not too bad actually ahaha
Love that you kept in some of your total failure demonstrations 😂
I am a beginer climber and i didn't know most of this things. That was very helpfull❤
comments filled with simps, this is a poor imitation of tips that have already been way better delivered on other channels lol.
Thx for the great tips Sofya.. keep it up with those great vids!

Love the idea of making this into a series!
Thank you, Sofya, for the tips. Videos are also getting better. ;)

Cool video Sofya! Will try these out :). Greets
I've been climbing one year and never once thought about my breathing... will have to change that! Great vid!
Sympa d'avoir des vidéos où tu grimpes à Beaulieu
Rare d'avoir des vidéos d'où on grimpe personnellement haha
thank you for eating shit for all of our's educational benefit hahah 10:25
I have a very important question, how do you take car of you're skin and fingertips.
I bet Sofya has a more pro answer, but what helps me a lot is simply Bepantene, when my fingers are on the edge. Also adding an off the wall session (pull-ups, lock-offs, core, mobility) to give the fingers an extra day to recover.

@@sofya_yokoyama hi thanks, I will try you're suggestions.
That last climb on the breathing tip was impressive 👌
🙂👍
Take a shot every time "typically" is said hahaha
🗽 Sofya, thx for the good tips.
Regarding breathing, as I understand this, you should breath out during a hard move. ☝
.
I prefer breathing in ahah it helps me keep the tension more. Breathing out i feel all loose but could suit other people better definitely!
@yokoyama I think it is easier for the core muscles to hold tension, if the diaphragm is up -- the belly is drawn in. And to avoid strip breakage (Hernia inguinalis, as a man).
.
cool tips!
Conseils classiques, mais en allant encore plus loin dans les explications avec des petits details interessants, super video, merci!
Mercii!!
👍
Can anyone tell me which pants Sofya is wearing?
Haha I also want to know this
These are my boyfriends old team pants... i'm not sure The North Face sell them :(
what pants are those?
They're North Face but they're my boyfriends old team pants... i'm not sure they sell them :(
really good beginner tips ! tho I did think this video would help me get from 7C to 8A lol
Ahh yes i'll add that to the title whoops
This video is a great example of how people who can do something can't necessarily teach it well.
