I liked how despite feeling fear and uncertainty in unfamiliar height terrain, you stayed in control and remembered to stop, rest and break when needed to assist you physically in getting to the top instead of fear making you rush to the top. Great stuff, would love to try this one day!!
Terrific work pushing your limits and facing fear, Hannah. I have a horrible fear of heights and 2 weeks ago starting doing some autobelays and pushing my own limits, so I can totally understand many of the points you made about listening to your body and trying to consciously climb smart not hard. Let's Go! You got this!
Thanks so much Chris. Great to hear your pushing your comfort zone on the auto belay. I’ve found that small steps really has been the key for me to unlock some more confidence at height. Really glad you liked the video and keep crushing your limits ☺️☺️
Thank you so much! I also struggle with top outs at regular height - so funny how we respond differently in different situations and can surprise ourselves sometimes!
I'm glad I kept getting reccomended your vids, you're probably the most relatable climber here on youtube and criminally underrated at 80k subs. This whole time I thought your channel was in the 100-500k sub range.
as someone who struggles with fear of heights and has started climbing partly to work on it or rather work with it, im sooo impressed with how you managed the blue route. It was like watching a thriller or something, i had funny legs and clammy hands haha ! kudos to you hannah!!
I've been watching ever since I started climbing about 4-5 months ago and this has been my favorite upload to date. I struggle with the fear of heights on normal boulders so this was beyond motivating!
That was brilliant Hannah, I think we could all sense your anxiety listening to your breathing as you went higher. 😌👏 When I was younger and had no responsibilities I soloed a few limestones slabs and some routes in the Peak, but nothing that steep or hard, so I know how hard it is to control your mind.
This is so, so impressive! I just tried auto belay for the first time this weekend and trusting it to catch me at the top when it felt like there was too much slack took a lot of effort (and tears), so to see you absolutely crush this beast of a climb while having that fear is really encouraging. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time, even said a little "come on hannah!" as you got to the top part of that blue lol
trusting an auto-belay was something whole new to you. its completly normal to be sceptical about it which can lead to fear. imo its also something different then trusting a climbing partner. if you repeat the "falling of" part you will completly forget about that fear - but only for like a day. it gets of course better the more often you practice it. but even pros sometimes jump into ropes to get back into good mental shape ;)
I used to think I was scared of falling, now I realize I was just choosing not to risk it. A few months back I took a bad fall and got injured... I've recovered, but now every boulder feels like a psicobloc! I've just started really working on the fear, so this video came at just the right time. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us!
I broke my ankle from a really small fall (1 meter ish tops), and the moment I got my confidence back on the wall was so empowering. I downclimb as much as possible now tho 😂
Yes Hannah, you're really getting good at those big power moves! The commitment levels have gone up tremendously. You honestly seemed in the zone and controlled on that blue one that second time, which I don't think I ever would have seen a year ago. You've definitely improved a lot lately!
The habit in bouldering of leaving your chalk bag on the floor seems like a mistake here 😄 Strap it to your waist like a route climber. Every time you shook-out my mind was screaming ‘chalk up!!’
Only problem with that is the chalk clouds when you take the (sometimes inevitable) slam onto the mat. Love the Psicobloc but it's really pumpy, especially at the end of a session
An incredible film. Thanks so much for showing and sharing in depth thoughts on how you were feeling especially on the psicobloc. Your heel hooks are truly a thing of legend and definitely your special weapon, and your mindset is following suit. I love how you self-analyse as soon as you get down from a climb/boulder, a great skill in itself when most of us would just be gasping for breath and sweating cobblers! :)
Wow that’s a long way to fall. I would have been to scared to do it so to see you climb it well done! That would have taken some guts to do that! Great to see you facing your fear Hannah, we need more of this!! Thank you so much :) 💕
Your videos are probably the most educational climbing videos. There are a lot of good climbing channels, but I think I have learned the most from your sessions with coaches and just watching you talk through your projects and fears. Psicobloc looks like a fun and safe way to overcome a fear of heights and practice soloing. I hope to get to try it someday 😊 cheers!
It was so so nice to hear an experienced climber talk about how sometimes fear stops you on a climb. And how when you choose to come down thats fear not skill level. I am so afraid of heights but I've fallen in love with bouldering 😅 and it makes me feel much better that sometimes even people that do it all the time get scared and choose to come down. And that the next time you try the route you can get through. I'm gonna keep trying!
Loved this, I held my breath watching you do that final ascent. Nailed it 💪💪💪. Can I also just say, this seems like a more confident Hannah in the last couple of vids and I'm here for it. Whatever you're doing keep at it and keep making great vids. ❤️
Well done! Looked totally in control and did really well to control your fear. I know the feeling when you’re at the top of a boulder and you go for a hold that is worse than you expect. I think my heart would skip a beat in that scenario at that height. I’m impressed.
15:00 i could feel that breathing was from fear and not exertion haha - the higher up you got the higher up you knew you had to fall from - the more fear you felt haha 😂❤ i was feeling it FOR you!
This was such a good video from front to back, Hannah. Fantastic insights, fantastic climbing, really motivating and inspiring! The Psicobloc is so cool!
I want to go check this out. But falling on your back seems even more sketchy. What if you fall on your legs and then just use the momentum to fall on your back? Its sort of how I fall on a normal boulder. But falling straight on your back seems even more dangerous or at the very least harder to do
@@rendafisEven though falling straight on your back is a bit harder, I think it’s to prevent getting whiplash especially when you’re higher up. Falling on your back is quite a bit easier when you’re higher since you have more time from when you fall to when you land on the mat but at a lower height I do kinda agree with you that landing on your back is more dangerous
@@Rosie-om8xg Ah that makes sense. I wouldn't know as I never fell straight to the ground from that high up (Thankfully 🤣). But I see your point, will definitely check it out, thank you!
This was the first place i ever went climbing and this boulder struck fear into my heart 🤣 somewhat comforted to know that it is indeed as advanced as it looks
good stuff! actually got sweaty hands at the end just watching. I dont understand how youre starting to get relaxed before you completely finished the top-out. For me the final part, where you pull up your feet to the top of the boulder is always the worst part (even for smaller boulders), but you just start to relax before youre fully finished. anyways nice job, cant wait for the video with the 7a+ though ;)
For the last four/five moves on the second blue I was actually shouting "come on, Hannah!" at the phone. That was just brilliant climbing. The Psicobloc (or should it be psychoblock?) looks absolutely terrifying. And I'm well impressed that you did the Square Space ad while you were climbing! 👍👍👍
This was really fun and interesting! I would appreciate hearing some info about how to handle uncontrolled falls, not just on psicobloc, but also on regular boulders. Just go limp and splat? Or try to jump off when you feel the fall coming? All the falling videos seem to treat intentional falls ....
Returning from a big break climbing (again) and glad your channel is still here growing from strength to strength. Funnily Anna showed me a video and I went "ohh I've chatted to Hannah on her videos a few years back!)
Hoosier Heights in Indianapolis has something similar, but not quite as high. I want to say it's about 25 feet tall. The building was a gymnastics facility in the past, and they built the feature over the foam pit.
I remember going on this a couple years ago- managed to campus a V4 all the way up to the last vertical section. The drop was big enough to scare me and make me hold on better XD
Iv just discovered your channel. I'm now a fan and a beginner (first try lastnight) so I really wanna give it up for the girl in the background at 19.01 👏👏
Haha I have to admit: my hands are sweaty just from watching. Sometimes I'm still afraid and can't make the last move on a boulder when I'm not 100% sure I can make it. So I really have to learn to battle gently against my fears.
Best gym ever, love this place the variety is 🫰 and that psicobloc is cool af. You crushed it its scary as he'll, I did the same route as your warm up on it but was getting so sweaty with the fear of taking an uncontrolled fall I didn't dare push it to the next grade up. Big up for conquering the fear and cruising through that blue, smooth af. Its genuinely alot more terrifying than you let on. Great content as always, keep killing it
really interesting to see you progress and overcome the fear and analyse your mistakes and limitations to change and become better and braver the other attempt, impressive!
Awesome! I've never seen such a thing as the Psicobloc! Looks amazing - I wish I could try it... I should really try to do a random trip to England someday soon-ish. Great effort with your climbs as well!
@@hannahmorrisbouldering yeah,... I really wanted to get some crack as well someday at CrackFest! Would be amazing to meet Pete & Tom in person one day

That was some impressive climbing. So good to see you overcome your fear of heights and not freezing up.
Thanks so much! Really glad to find the brain off switch for the blue at the end 🥹
I liked how despite feeling fear and uncertainty in unfamiliar height terrain, you stayed in control and remembered to stop, rest and break when needed to assist you physically in getting to the top instead of fear making you rush to the top. Great stuff, would love to try this one day!!
Thank you! The want to get the climb done as quickly as possible was definitely there, but it was a really cool challenge in reigning back my mind ☺️

Sooo soooo impressive, I feel the fear. I struggle to top-out on mediocre heights at a regular boulder. Well done! 👏
Thank you so much! I also struggle with top outs at regular height - so funny how we respond differently in different situations and can surprise ourselves sometimes!

So satisfying to watch the climbs with this hovering camera - immersive.
Felt like a cool Tomb Raider/Uncharted game
Glad you enjoyed it :)

The feeling between letting go or falling off when you don't expect it is a big difference 😁

I'm having sweaty palms just watching this. Can't imagine how I'd switch my brain off at the top. Fantastic climb! 😍
Hehe my tactic was “brain off and move quickly and whatever you do don’t look down!”. Also, seemingly humming to myself 😅
@@hannahmorrisbouldering 😂 "Music reaches parts of the brain words can't!"
Beautiful cave!!! Thanks for sharing this!
The habit in bouldering of leaving your chalk bag on the floor seems like a mistake here 😄 Strap it to your waist like a route climber. Every time you shook-out my mind was screaming ‘chalk up!!’
I regretted my chalk bag choices
Only problem with that is the chalk clouds when you take the (sometimes inevitable) slam onto the mat. Love the Psicobloc but it's really pumpy, especially at the end of a session
I did a workout today and got all good and sore. Felt really proud of myself... and then I watched this video! Incredible.
Scary! (And liked the ad placement... No skipping that!)
Thank you! Tried to keep it a little more interesting this time ⚡️

I've never wanted to free solo, but I would like to water solo once, and this seems fun
It is! Type 2 fun, but still fun 🥹😀
I dont think I would dare to do this. If it was a foam pit underneath I might dare, but I would be too scared to land wrong on this 😅
Been here a lot lately.. absolutely love it here! Good work! Love the content and climbing as always!
Thanks very much! ☺️☺️
I love it but i love BARRRRCA more
Awesome job overcoming the fear! I’m still in awe that you could make it to the top without rechalking 🤯 my sweaty hands could never.
Wow that’s a long way to fall. I would have been to scared to do it so to see you climb it well done! That would have taken some guts to do that! Great to see you facing your fear Hannah, we need more of this!! Thank you so much :) 💕
I kept willing you to breathe slowly and deeply. I'm so impressed with your mind over matter approach. I'd love to try this indoor free climb.
That looked utterly terrifying! Well done, beautifully climbed. I loved the move at 20:30.
I've taken some falls from 4m that were brutal, I can't imagine falling from 8
Amazing amazing work! I’m scared of heights, and I found myself cheering for you out loud as you were getting to the end of the blue route! Inspiring!

It’s definitely an intimidating wall - especially on your intro to climbing! 😆😆
@@hannahmorrisbouldering yeah for the record I didn't go anywhere near it 🤣
That was pretty awesome, you did a lot better than I would have at conquering your fear. Makes me want to seek out one of these psicoblocs.
Doooooo it, you might just surprise yourself!!☺️

👍👍👍
Same sending the encouraging stoke through the screen
she came to my gym yaaaaay
Only just watching this. Amazing work. And my God I knew Nathan was tall but didn't realize he was that tall to film you right at the top 🤣
I climb here every other week, love the psicobloc well done!
i do not know what to say....so spechless ....you really did a great climbing...salute u hannah...👍👍👍
Thanks so much! I was proud to have controlled my fear and made it over the top ☺️
I really appreciate what you share in this video Hannah. Thank you.
You're so welcome!
What a wonderful watch!
That looks so fun 😍
Good job 😊
It was! :)

T-rex -> turtle -> starfish
Arms tucked in for the fall, roll onto back, arms splay out to disperse energy
You inspire me so much! Cheers from México!

That looked like an absolute blast... good send!
Thank you!
Awesome job Dec 16 1986 the paper read Man Survives Five Story Fall, i fell 23 meters at work
I was scared shitless when I climbed the yurple, not a chance you'll catch me on the blue 🤣 well done.
My hands are sweating just watching you. That was great! Good job!
Glad you enjoyed the video 🤗
Good on ya…I can totally relate to the “concern” on the falling 💪👍😁
Thanks! Definitely a test of my head for heights!
Need to clean my keyboard now!
Sweatiest hands this month just watching it!
That was incredible!👌Bravo Hannah!! ❤️💪💪
Thank you so much!!
I rock climb all the time indoor and I can smell this video
I couldn't even DREAM of doing that yellow one anytime soon lol.
I’ve been here! It’s awesome! Highly recommend this centre!
It really is! We really enjoyed it ☺️
MY FAVORITE VIDEO OF YOU!!!!
WOW!
Iv just discovered your channel. I'm now a fan and a beginner (first try lastnight) so I really wanna give it up for the girl in the background at 19.01 👏👏
Wow, nice job on that blue V4.

Wow! Wow wow wow. Fantastic work, I wanna try but it looks terrifying. Well done you.
So impressive. Well done! 😊
Thank you!
Incredible impressive, both mentally and physically. Massive Kudos :)
Best regards.
I love you doing the add during the climbing. Makes me want to keep watching instead of the usual +60s skip
You did awesome
Thank you!
Well done Hannah, this was awesome x
Thank you! 🥰
Thats so cool. Well done, i could feel the fear! Literally holding my breath for you 😂🤩
such a sick video, this wall looks mad! need to go and check that out...
such an awesome vid!
The blue one was mad impressive.
Great stuff
I defo gotta give This a try
Wow what a wall. Great climbing. I would have been bricking it

I just dyno'd the blue V4 skipping the volume as that was too crap so well done making it work!
I did think that would be my preferred way if I wasn’t so poor at dynamic stuff haha! ☺️
really interesting to see you progress and overcome the fear and analyse your mistakes and limitations to change and become better and braver the other attempt, impressive!
Impressive! Way to move through the fear. Very inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Was rooting for you so hard on the blue ! Would love to visit this gym
great job hannah! very cool gym and boulder.
Thank you 🤗
Keep up the good work!
On ya Hannah. That was so impressive.
Thank you!
Doing the ad read while climbing made me not skip the ad for once
Awesome! I've never seen such a thing as the Psicobloc! Looks amazing - I wish I could try it... I should really try to do a random trip to England someday soon-ish.
Great effort with your climbs as well!
Thanks very much! There’s a bunch of really cool climbing gyms in England so I’d recommend! 😏😏
@@hannahmorrisbouldering yeah,... I really wanted to get some crack as well someday at CrackFest! Would be amazing to meet Pete & Tom in person one day
Great video ! Surprised it didnt have a big foam pit underneath. That would be really fun !
Well done that looked scary. At least you know you can come off and not get hurt.
i go to the boardroom a fair amount and i completely agree - all their boulders seem hard to me 🤦🏻♀️
Well done Hannah❤✨️✨️
Good work, that looks scary coming up over that headwall. Way to stick it through on the second burn.
Thank you! Definitely felt like the point of no return - really didn’t want to find out what a fall from up there was like. ☺️
i was sweating just watching this, god damnit Hannah, that was impressiv.
Haha thank you!
Oh man, that's impressive. I think I'd have a panic attack going up and would then faint seeing a no entry sign blocking my escape at the top!
So glad you made the top of the blue :)
you seem very nice to climb with :) I relate to all the funny noises you make while on the wall lol
