Practicing aid climbing at some unbolted crag is another great way to learn gear placing. You put lots of pro and check every one with your ass right away)) Not for everyone, but for some of us who climb in big mountains the skill of aiding itself may come handy some day. Nice video, cheers
When he started talking about Czech Sandstone I knew he would talk about the topout. it's always unprotected slaps... I've been there and I do remember.... Hahaha
What I found helpful when i got back into climbing after a 15 year break was doing sport climbs where you can place gear, and always placing gear before clipping for the sport route then checking that placement on the way back down. I guess living in Germany where sport climbing is more the norm, where even well protected routes are usually bolted was good for this approach.
Any chance of a talk on the steps you should go through for doing first ascents in a trad context ( found a few unclimbed lines exploring in the lockdown ) many thanks
I was at red river gorge once with my brother climbing. We hiked in for this climb I’d been wanting to climb for a while. The hike was absolutely brutal and by the time we got to the climb we were already shot on energy. So we took a break and had lunch. Started to climb and there was a ledge between the first and second bolt you had to traverse for 20ft. Fairly easy, but 15 ft below was jagged sharp rocks covering the ground. For some reason that scared me so bad that I couldn’t even get to the second bolt. It sucked but I always step back when something inside of me shakes me
Well a lot of it is opinion, as there is no guaranteed way to get your head in the perfect place, as what works for someone else may not work for you. Thats one of the reasons most climbers or athletes in general will only ever be average. I think it was explained perfectly fine.
Well all im saying is that there's probably a better way of phrasing it than "improve your head game". It gives a very different impression about the video
@@TheMrManwitch well i understood what "improve your head game" meant. In what way is it confusing to you? I don't need to Google something I fully understand.
"Focus on performance, not the goal" is pretty much my life motto! If you made a poster of century crack with that text, I'd buy 3!!
Love this channel, but I came here for the comments on the title of the thumbnail lmao.

Underrated head game approach
I need to send this video to my last girlfriend
The timestamps in the description is much appreciated! Thanks for all good content 🙏

This is exactly what I needed, boulderer who often gets scared on lead.
Type 3 fun, the sort of fun that's just not, you know, fun
Haha! :-D
I always say type 3 is only fun when telling the story to your mates
Do these chats get released at podcasts?
