      takes looooots of practice. i recently broke my arm falling off of a problem and all ive been doing is reading routes. Try to imagine yourself on the wall and think about first where all the footholds are, unless you are campusing, if you dont have footholds, you cant get the hand holds. I think in a clockwork fashion. right hand, left hand, right foot, left foot. imagine yourself on the starting hold and work from there where the setter intended for your hands to be next, then your feet. pay attention to the types of holds too. Usually for vintro-v4 the holds are pretty straightforward and they work like a map. i suggest when starting to understand how to red routes, start with intros and make your way up. just likke a warm up, when you climb, you dont start with a v8 do you? think about the problem and do it, see if your guess was correct,analyze it, and move on. good luck!

    On tip #3: You shouldn't rely on your skeleton like he said. Yes, you should have your arms straight, but not completely straight. If you don't engage your biceps, you'll be tearing the ligaments in your elbow. On the same note, engage your shoulders and high back to relieve ligament stress in your shoulders as well as engage your core balance.

    • @MaccaDin
      @MaccaDin 5 років тому +195

      Agree and disagree, if you never rest on these tendons/ligaments they will never thicken and when you need these positions or pass through them by accident your body wont be prepared for the stress.
      It reminds of people who don't do lower back exercises because they are all "too dangerous" then when they have to use their lower backs for a move/task it's too weak or their muscles are extremely unbalanced, just start easy.

    2:20 Tip 4.5 - Climb down at least part-way. The instantaneous forces on your joints and your back from even a controlled fall are much higher than from any other aspect of the sport and this is the most common time for injuries to occur.

    Started climbing in November. I was always a very sport lazy person. But with the help of two experienced climbers (and friends), I pulled myself through the first few times. And now I am the one who is pushing them to go climbing. Also started bouldering yesterday for a bit, because Noone was there with me, to do top rope. Really enjoyed the freedom of not having a rope.
    Your tipps are great and you guys are fun to watch. Thanks

  • @TheUnknownFactor
    @TheUnknownFactor 5 років тому +73

    Might be worth adding to tip #9, size isn't just about the length of the shoe. The volume of the toe-box and the fit of the heel are also very different from shoe to shoe and climber to climber. If a pro-climber uses some particular shoe, that shoe is probably great; but it might still be a terrible shoe for your foot.

    1. use ur tosies. toes lets u pivot n reach further by tiptoeing. standing on mid sole will make ya slip
    2. use ur legs. their ur biggest muscles. don't just use ur hands to push, push with ur legs!
    3. climb with straight arms, u can hang like a sloth xD bent arms= fatigue
    4. read ur route. take time to plan so its easier for u to figure which place to put ur hand next
    5. don't use too much chalk. can lose traction
    6. dnt be afraid to fall n fail! persistence is key
    7. climb with many ppl, u will learn techniques from short ppl n tall ppl n static/dynamic ppl.
    8. dnt need to train. just climb.
    9. invest in well fitted shoes.
    10. have funnnnnnnn. best climbers have a big smile on their face xD
