I headed for a climbing session with Louis Parkinson, head coach at @CatalystClimbing
Over the course of an afternoon at Yonder climbing gym, Louis attempted to transform me from a hesitant, static climber into a powerful and dynamic and bouncy boulderer. It was an absolute pleasure to be coached by Louis - his attention to detail and endless psyche for climbing was incredible and I learned so much about climbing technique and my approach to bouldering.
To watch the first half of the session where we look at dynamic movement drills for climbing, head on over to Catalyst Climbing's UA-cam channel, where you'll find a whole trove of climbing coaching, drills and fun climbing videos!

"Why did you fall off, and your not allowed to say not strong enough" has been one of the best bits of advice I've heard.
Used this today and topped 3 routes I've been struggling on. It wasn't that I wasn't strong enough, I just needed to change my body position.
Thanks you for that, you guys rock
Body position is just a poor compensation for lacking strength.
@@MrCmon113 strength is a poor compensation for lack of body position
Yes, the "post-fall self-analysis" really is something I need to implement... Great advice!
Well maybe, but what I've seen here is that the strength just becomes greater if Louis is behind you.
Doing campus catches certainly isn't something that relies much on body position.
You need precision and strength to catch a hold while loosing your feet completely.
@@Fallenangel_85maybe sometimes, but more often than not you also need to know how to transfer the energy of a campus move through your body. Just throwing to something without thinking about how your body is going to move while doing it can make the difficulty of such a move dramatically harder than it needs to be.
Louis is such an inspiring coach with an awesome, healthy mindset.
really great guy it seems :) for me he'd be a bit too hyper tho :D can surely be a bit overwhelming sometimes
thats some high quality coaching, loved it and took lots for myself. thanks to Louis
Just gonna leave this here for ya ;)

Very best wishes,
Louis
It felt quite mediocre coaching tbh, not understanding the limitations of her body and not correcting her feet or body position, almost at all.
I loved it! How has Hannah improved so quickly!!? I loved that she stopped being so scared and took risks, let’s hope she can carry this forward with her climbing. Louis’s use of questions is excellent 👌 I love the chemistry between these two, they are both quiet complex character that bounce of each other. I think Louis’s teaching and attention to detail really suits hannah!
Louis does a great job of breaking your mental block. I love that this series is 2/3 mental training and 1/3 technique training. Climbing takes a lot of problem solving and confidence. Once you get those down you begin trying extra hard 💪🏽
That guy, Louis, is a really good teacher. I used to teach skiing, and I know the difference between being able to do a thing, and being able to break it down and teach it to someone else.
I only started watching climbing as of the Olympics. I've known a few climbers over the years, but that was the first comp I ever watched. I came away from that as a fan of the sport, and a big Brooke Raboutou fan. I've gone back and watched a lot of her previous comp videos since then. I was so proud of myself for actually getting the reference when he said, "Do a Brooke Raboutou special, and stand in a bolt hole." I did have to rewind about three times to be sure that is actually what he said though, as his accent really had fun with her name.
I like your videos Hannah. Watching you learn is really helping to make the sport more accessible to a new fan like me. I'm 57, and over 300 lbs; I'm not likely to take up climbing in any serious way, but I'm learning a lot along with you and it makes the comps easier to understand and enjoy. You have a great attitude toward learning, and that matters so much.
If you read this far, I'll share something with you that I taught to every class I ever had. I'd always ask, "When you look around the mountain, how do you know who the best skier on the hill is?" I got lots of answers like "They never fall," or, "Their turns are so pretty," or, "They go so fast," and worst of all, "Because they have all the cool clothes and gear." No, no, no, and oh hell no! The correct answer is: Every day on the mountain, there is one person who has more fun, makes more memories, laughs harder, and takes more joy out of their day than anybody else. That person wins, they are the best skier on the hill (or climber in the gym) that day. Some days it is that soul skier out ripping the pretty turns, some days it's a ten year old girl, on her first day, who realizes, "I CAN do this, and... I'm better at it than my brother!"
Love this💕
Curious to know a year after your comment if you've tried climbing yet? It's such an infectious sport that it's hard to just watch and resist trying.
@@durabelle The short answer is no, not yet. Wait, it's been a year?!? Yikes, that was quick.
I'm now 58, but in a little better shape than a year ago. I did drive by a climbing gym the other day, and think that, "Yeah, I think I want to go check it out next time I have an afternoon to kill."
I am however still addicted, and I was up streaming Brooke, and Natalia at the Pan American Games a few days ago.
@@tahoemike5828 Cool, thanks for answering! Still time to start 😁 I can tell that getting hooked to climbing supports getting fitter too, as it's one of those sports that doesn't really feel like exercise (although it definitely is a brilliant workout too!) I've never enjoyed most sports, but in climbing I'm not concentrating on how I feel, or how well I do compared to others, it's all about pushing your own limits and learning to do the moves better and better to finally send whatever you're projecting. Grades either get higher or they don't, the mental effort is still the same. The top climbers struggle just as much as beginners, they just do it on more difficult routes. (And more gracefully too, but who cares 😆) I hope you get there soon!
Really enjoyed watching this and learned loads. It’s so interesting seeing the process, I’ve never consciously think... “ok why did I fall off and how do I fix it next time” that’s a great idea! Also did I fall or jump off?! Thanks for sharing :)
Hannah that green V6 you flashed was ridiculous! .. its been amazing watching your progress .. absolutely motivating.
omg I absolutely love Louis' brand of support. I'm learning so much about how to appreciate other climbers and it makes me love Hannah's climbing even more :-)
Thanks so much John!
@@hannahmorrisbouldering Of course! I have to imagine it is scary to post these learning videos, so just want to add that it is super helpful to see the coaching/learning process play out and a big thank you for doing it!
I hear Louis, I look for the like button before even watching the video. Looking forward to actually watching it as well.
The questions to yourself after an attempt are really eye opening, and an amazing training tip. I will 100% be adding this in to my life, both in climbing, but honestly, it would be useful in just about any activity.
My old gymnastics coach always used to say: "If you don't know what to change, don't go again."
It isn't only a good tip for improving faster, it's also a good tip for injury avoidance.
That approach is the key to success in literally everything in life. Every mistake made warrants an answer to three questions: What are the consequences of my mistake? Why did I do the mistake? What will I change in the future to not do the mistake?
I LOVE this, so inspiring and full of insight. I love when Louis says “if it feels like an option, go for it”. My mantra from now on 😁 thank you for this quality content
I totally agree! Louis has such a positive mindset. :D
I just love this „why did you fall off?“. Such a change in mindset right away. We tend to put ourselves down instead of understanding the technicalities we might lack.
Other than that: on the first problem I was just waiting for the „turn your left foot and turn your hip in..“advice.
I need to have a training session like that 😍
Awesome video - really nice to see a coached projecting process, so much to learn! Also so lovely the applause you got from an onlooker at 09:28 - gotta love the climbing community 🥰
Right! Such a lovely show of support. Glad you liked the video and the format - Louis has such a good way of explaining how to maximise the process!
Great video! Only thing I would have really liked was for the climb to be shown when they were discussing the possible sequence at the beginning. Would feel more engaging for the viewer as we can then compare with our own thoughts on how to tackle the route (even though video is not the same as IRL, but still fun to try :P)
Yes just overlay a photo over at least would be so helpful to follow the conversation
Good call! Noted. I'll definitely try and remember to get cut aways of the boulders in future so you can follow along better on the process!
My thoughts precisely! Still, a really great video overall and it's very encouraging as I feel stuck on my projects recently
very interesting video! love the format of analysing the climb before trying and then after each and every attempt, it's super relatable but fascinating to see the added depth and nuance in smaller movements and body positions you and Louis discuss. Having these sorts of conversations at gyms where you and a bunch of others keep trying the same route and failing, but making interesting observations about technique as you go, slowly building up your collective knowledge of the route until one of you finally does it is honestly the funnest and most rewarding experiences i've had in bouldering gyms. One small tip/criticism i think would make this even better: when you guys are discussing the route before you've made any attempts,i think it would be better to have the camera filming the wall as you talk, rather than yourselves, so we can follow your train of thought as you speak. It's pretty fun to pause these sorts of videos, read the route yourself, then press play and see how similar your take is with the climbers. Happy climbing!
Aw, enjoyed watching this video so much! And was smiling throughout the whole video, as both you and Louis have such a warm energy! Many great tips, too 💪🏽 The two questions to answer after each try and the forbidden answers - ahhh, so valuable 🧡
Thank you so much! Really glad you got a good vibe - I definitely had lots of fun filming with Louis! :)
Such a good video! Amazing to see you try hard and incredible feedback from Louis! Can’t wait to head to my own bouldering session later 🙌
Hope you have a great session 🤩
@@hannahmorrisbouldering I actually did! I managed a (for me) huge dyno!
i was super happy for her that she get the green one !!
Very nice video! Louis being a good coach and Hannah being a try-hard, learning student.
One small thing that could have been better though, is the camera angle during route reading.
As the viewer, we have no idea what the holds/route is like, so it feels like you two are gesturing in the thin air
Lmao. I love how Louis goes from his typical chill self to "I'm going to be strict today. If you fail this climb, directly to jail."
Thanks for another wonderful video that I can really see helping my climbing. I identify a lot with your comments in the video, so Louis' coaching of you feels very much applicable to me. More of these coaching videos, please!
Climbing soooo beautifully Hannah! Amazing seeing your progression!
Hannah, awesome video! You and Louis complement each other really well. I hope to see more like this in the future.
Great video, I learned loads just from watching and Luis looks like such a good coach and overall human! Your videos are a joy, especially on rest days when im trying to get through my day without caving in and going to the gym, you help me get my dose of bouldering dopamine!
The dynamic between you two is so awesome. I love to watch your Videos😊✌️
Thank you so much, really glad you like them! 🤗
wooo! go hannah! loved that commitment on the first problem- so scary (my fingers were getting sweaty)!! well done, I really enjoyed watching the process!
Watched a few of your training videos recently - honestly the best content I've seen for this stuff! You're a talented climber learning a lot from incredible climbers and having both personalities involved is really useful
Watching your climbing & progression in every video is inspiring to say the least!
& Louis' coaching is amazing! His knowledge of body movements and ability to notice the smallest changes to make sends attainable is magical!
Brilliant coach man, wow. Insanely engaging, and from one video to another, this has got to be one of the most informative videos on mindset when climbing. I’ve always had commitment when it comes to trying a move in BJJ, but when it came to climbing for some odd reason my commitment levels for dynamic movements weren’t as confident as I’d hoped. From this video I feel as if I have a new way of approaching this scary-ish moves like I did BJJ.
I really really enjoyed these videos - fantastic coaching from Louis, and incredible progress from Hannah. I usually struggle to sit through a 10 minute video but this whole hour of content was extremely engaging. Very motivating too - I started practicing a bunch of the dyno warmups on the wall today! My only small bit of feedback would be to maybe aim the camera more at the whole problem when discussing beta - I wanna be able to read the route for myself too 😂 But yeah fantastic vids, really hope to see more like this!
Thanks for the feedback - always good to know what would make the videos better for you guys so it's been noted! :)
Love these video’s! They are packed with usefull information :)
Amazing job Hannah! Really enjoyed Louis' coaching, he's so positive and encouraging.
You are so strong and so fast learner, amazing effort! You are such an inspiration to me, I must say, my favourite climber on the youtube. Stay strong!
So awesome Hannah. Louis has so much wisdom and knowledge to share, and from what I can tell you're much stronger and a far better climber than you give yourself credit for. Your humility is so awesome and such an encouragement to us all who are getting into climbing.
Just found your stuff and I am working on getting into some V4s and struggling with some 3's. Reaaally loving the videos and the climbing learned so much from watching you get coached! please keep it up
Really glad you enjoy the videos! Glad to hear they’re useful ☺️
this is brilliant content! thanks for sharing enjoyed every bit of it 🤩
You are very welcome!
Great to watch that! You were climbing so well and fun working with Louis, he has some excellent tips for how to approach problems. Be interesting to see how you get on with future climbs after this session.
Thanks so much! I'm really excited to try and apply Louis methods to my climbing more regularly. :D
fantastic to watch. Totally cheering for you here. My brain trying to see where the route is going, fun times all around.
Thanks so much!
Super good video! Felt really relatable for anyone who’s tried hard climbs 😀
Great coaching, with a keen student. That was good. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
That was so amazing to watch! That second climb was just a display! It is so fun to see you climb so hard!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support :)
this is a good one! power moves on the middle blok, and solid coaching from louis.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. 😊
Great video Hannah! Really enjoyed watching this and learnt a lot about positioning! Just subscribed too! - not sure how I wasn't before as I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now!
This was so useful and fun to watch, thank you! Also, it seems like you've been getting much stronger and more confident lately, that's great to see! You go, girl.
Thanks so much! 🤩
Thank you! Wonderful videos. Really enjoyed seeing Louis coach you -- so helpful too.
Really glad you enjoyed it! :)
Such good coaching! Definitely gives me a lot to think about. Such a strong climber, too!
That green V6 you flashed was amazing! Both the preparation and attempt were so inspirational. Nice job!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much :)
Yooooooo what a great video…..really a joy watching Hannah aka the crusher do her thing. Your videos have always been motivating but watching you transform into a really really advanced climber is hella inspiring. Incredible job Hannah…..(my mouth was wide open watching you on the green one💪🏽😃🤙🏽)
Thanks so much!! Really appreciate that comment, it's so motivating that people can see progress. :D :D
Absolutely loved this style of coaching, definitely taking this into my next session!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a great video, will take this on for my own training
That green second climb was really beautiful. Great send!
Loved this video so much, been watching all of your collabs recently and having louis as a coach for catalyst online has honestly changed my climbing so much x. Hope u have an amazing day and send those projects
So thrilled you're enjoying the Catalyst Online Squad!

@@CatalystClimbing thanks Louis hope u have a good day 😊🏳️🌈
AMAZING JOB ON YOUR V6 FLASH!!! Been following you for a while. That was epic. You are looking great Hannah!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that!
19:04 you sounded so unsure, I 100% expected you to come off pretty soon from the lack of confidence. And then you just went ahead and flashed it. Amazing! Really a fantastic effort.
Nice support from Louis too, you can tell he's a very experienced and passionate coach.
Fantastic advice in this video!! Can't wait to apply it
Glad it was helpful!
Such a good teacher, got as much from this video about how to be a good teacher from Louis as I did climbing
Really enjoyed this video and your progression as a climber is inspiring to see. You've got such a lovely way about you
Ahhhh thank you so so much Harley, that's made my day.
This was fantastic! Really enjoyed this, a lot to take away and use at my next gym sesh!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, that flash of the green problem was so impressive! So strong and technical at the same time! 🤩 (The others too!)
I think this is my favorite video you've made yet! Louis is a great coach, he does an amazing job at cheering you on and giving super informative tips and your climbing has been improving so much lately, it's super inspiring to see 🤩
Just gonna leave this here for ya ;)

Thanks so much! it's really nice to hear you found the video informative and that you could see the improvement! :)
Excellent video!!! This is so helpful. Really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That forest green problem looked awesome! Great moves and flow!
Great coaching and great flash on the green V6!
Thanks Rob!
This actually helped me out with projecting a lot and I think louis has helped me with doing a first ascent buildering problem on a brick wall
Great to hear that it was helpful for you! 😊
Wow, So good a video. Big fan of Louis and you're getting stronger and stronger rapidly!!
Thank you so much!
Love Louis enthusiasm. Amazing coaching.
Loved watching Louis coach you. I got to take a dynamic workshop with him when he was in LA, it was great!
So cool! I bet that was a lot of fun - he deffo taught me a lot! :)
@12:30 The ability to try hard is possibly the single most important thing in climbing, and something rarely discussed. Some acceptance of the chance of injury, and ignoring the fact is sadly a part of the process when pushing grades.
@15:04 I couldn't help but feel that bumping the right hand up slightly to make more space between the foot and hand could be part of the solution. Although I'm sure you'd both considered this and it probably wasn't possible in that position?
@20:30 sterling effort!
@31:17 Captains understanding of movement and subsequent explanation is unparalleled. What a coach!
@32:35 I'm inspired to try try more V7s and up although my regular gym has max grades V6 up.
Very nice video. Thank you Hanna and Louis🦎
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 😅
this video was awesome! really helpful and applicable tips
Glad you found it helpful!
On the blue V6 it looks like once you get the left hand crimp, you have to bump the right hand up to the top of the same hold (if it's good enough), which will make room for the right foot to come up. Not sure though. You guys are my favorite, and so exciting to see Hannah's training results. Cheers
I reckon you're probably spot on. Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
Great videos, I really enjoyed them both and learned a lot!
Glad you like them!
Tough but fair are the best teachers. Really enjoyed this one because if you just commit to something like this you gain so much forward momentum off the teacher.
My favourite video in this channel by far. You two make good videos. Congrats!! :)
Wow, thanks!
This was great! So informative and seeing how someone can coach through better climbs
Glad you think so!
amazing teacher. congrats on that second boulder. i was cheering out loud!
Thank you so much!
Great longform session, invaluable Loius tips, fab stuff 👏
Amazed and impressed by you in every way...........go on Hannah send it.......... Louis makes me smile a lot!!
Thanks so much Andy! Really means a lot 🥲
What a thoughtful training session. I usually just repeat boulders until they annoy me or I stick them but mostly without much thought in between attempts. Really cool, thanks for sharing
Plus, they seem to have a lovely taste of music at Yonder. I spotted some Chili Peppers and Led Zeppelin in the background. Amazing gym!
Glad you enjoyed it! The music was spot on.
I usually just stick with boulders until I can't try anymore too, usually falling off the exact same move until I get tired haha
I loved the video. You were killing it and he’s so knowledgeable about everything. 🙌 I hope to climb with you someday.
Thanks so much Holden! 😊
Thank you, this is very helpful!
Great guy with a great vibe👌🏻 loved it
nice session, loads to take away for us!
I drafted this into my Notes app to reference on my phone when I’m at the gym, if anyone wants to copy/paste 😃:
Louis Parkinson, Catalyst Climbing, Hannah Morris Bouldering ua-cam.com/video/fo_7o5SOEOQ/v-deo.html
Strict limit of attempts at given project during a single session
* 5 attempts max. at a [desired] project
* 5 attempts min. at a hate/absolute-no problem
If you fall off, can’t get back on until answering 2 questions:
1. Why did I fall off? (Not strong or good enough are not allowable answers.)
2. What will I do differently?
Fantastic climbing and great advice from Louis.
Glad you liked it!
As a coach of a different sort, I absolutely enjoyed the rules and the coaching! Good job, both of you!
Glad you liked it. 😊
Love this. I want Louis as my coach now😄
Really enjoyed watching this!
I’m glad!
Such a great video. I love Louis; he is so motivating and sooo good at explaining moves. Haha, and I love that they play the old good Red Hot Chili Peppers in the background.
Soooo good content. Helps me a lot. ♥️
Really glad you like it! 😀
Inspiring. You looked so strong on some of those moves on the first and second routes Hannah.
Thanks Joseph, there was a lot of try hard involved haha 😅
What a great video. Learnt loads about moves and about being positive rather than just giving up and just saying it's too hard.
Thanks.
You’re very welcome. Really glad you enjoyed the video!
wow that green was amazing!!!! you look so strong
Hannah, so cool to see you learn. You owned that green route!
Thank you! 😃
Wasn't expecting to get hit by the Stairway to Heaven solo :o ahah good job !
Damn its been a while since ive seen a video of yours, you've improved so much and you look super fit aswell :o
Great video. Looking strong!
Pedantically, I have to point out that "amatuer" is not spelled correctly in the title. (EDIT: it's fixed now, ty!)
Looking forward to the release, you progressed so much in dynamic movements in the first video on Louis' channel!
Thank you! I hadn’t spotted so glad you did before it went live! Hope you enjoy the video 😀😀
Love the video! Also where did he get the fall more shirt?! I love it.
