I couldn’t believe how comfortable she looked when using that bolt hole as a foot. I can’t even comprehend that level of precision, technicality, and confidence.
As a fairly recent climber, the olympics was the first time I even heard of Brooke Raboutou. But I instantly became a fan, she’s just a blast to watch. Watched salt lake city right after, watching Brooke is some of the most fun I have watching climbing, really excited to see how her career progresses. Was also very pleased to learn she would be featured in that “climb for gold” movie. The cast was pretty much a list of my favourite climbers.
As a short climber she is incredibly inspiring to watch - particularly her bouldering in the Olympics 🤯 I love the part where she highlights her physical strength compared to mental, it's so clear in the clips and very relatable to what I'm currently working on this year!
I'm so inspired by her climbing. She's so fun to watch and she proves that physical size shouldn't limit your ability to climb. The Salt Lake video is on youtube in its entirety and it's exciting the whole way through.
Not only is she short but she’s got a -1 ape index if I’m remembering correctly. She’s shorty inspiration! I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we started to see her confidence shift when she started training at TC. It’s awesome to see all these athletes blooming.
Out of all climbers, she's one of my favorites. I definitely see myself in her, such as lots of extra footwork, her smaller height, and unconventional beta. Hopefully I'll climb at her level someday though :)
MY GUY- I just have to say, the amount of analysis and description in your videos are on par with the analysis Kobe had in his NBA "Details" videos. BIGGGG UPS
Your Climbing Styles series is one of my favourites to watch on UA-cam! Thank you for continuing these insightful videos and I am looking forward to more content in the future!
You've done The Magician, now try The Dancer. Johnny Dawes was a premier rock climber in the UK during the 80s and 90s, putting up some of the hardest trad routes in the entire UK. He was the first to do British E8 (Gaia) and E9 (The Indian Face). The latter route has had no more than a dozen ascents in 3 decades due to the overwhelming danger, and even into modernity, remains one of the most famous rock climbs in the UK. There is footage of him projecting a sport 9a slab in 1985, The Meltdown, which remained unclimbed until 2011. His climbing style is fluid and precise. He flows up the rock with such form that it is beautiful. I would have personally always described it as being magic, which is why the title of this video interested me in particular, yet The Dancer (or pick your own!) also suffices. Beyond his preternatural ability to rock climb, the personal character of Johnny Dawes adds an extra dynamic to the multiplicity. I think it would make for an interesting video.
oh yeah and now out of training in his mid 50s, he still climbs routes, admittedly much easier, without using his hands. Arguably the greatest footwork in any climber.
Watching women climb is very cool, especially shorter women. I am blessed to be very tall, and whie that is usually ideal in beginner climbing, it is always fascinating to see shorter climbers solve problems with way less to work with. it's also interesting to see how men and women differentiate when using their hips, legs arms etc to climb. climbing is appealing to me because it is so natural. you are just using your body to do natural movements to move your body, on the earth. very simple. love the videos
You did a nice job with this video. Good historical context and nice play by play look at some of her performances. Commenting only due to a previous comment that you somehow lacked understanding. Not so.Thumbs up!
Your videos are well edited but your points get a little redundant. I feel like you say the same broad things about every climber. I can tell by how you analyze climbing movement that your understanding of climbing movement is at the beginner level. Perhaps study movement a little bit more for the next video? I say this all in the name of constructive criticism so I applogize if this comment sounds negative. Cheers.
Maybe I'm the idiot here, but why did we have to "excuse the IFSC camera work here"? Is it the bad camera shot or the angle it was film a la Johanna Faber?
I think it was a pre-warning for the super closeup of her foot and the hold while she was climbing, I didn't think it was terrible, but it was pretty hard to see what she was actually doing
@@gimmepowder wow okay thank you. I told him I thought someone was known for sometimes using them as footholds and he replied, "oh, they recently changed the rules so you can't". He was just making stuff up I guess... Wouldn't be the first time for him. 6 months into climbing and he knows it all lol. Appreciate the help!
This explains why I find small women so fascinating in sport. It's partly supporting the underdog, but mainly the creativity and imagination they have to use. Tall people like me can easily break betas but not in an interesting way.

I tried it at the gym last night and dry fired 3 times so safe to say my Olympics dreams might have to wait a few years
Wizardry

TC?
-1 ape index?
@@joschistep3442 Span hand-to-hand is 1cm less than her height.
Long arms (think Gorilla) are favourable - good reach at low weight.

is that you Johnny?

I've been watching videos of her this week to study foot technique, and you come out w/ a video about it. . . subscribed :)

Love watching Brooke climb

Love the series
Please, tell me which IFSC YWCH (place, year) was the one we can see at 3:00.
All your videos are great! It’d be fun to see one on the enigma of James Litz!
As a woman who's the same hight as Brooke she's my favorite to watch fs!
The smile of the comps!

So… do you think if I put two French braids in my hair, I’ll be as good as Brooke? Is that the secret? 🤣
I thought you werent allowed to use bolt holes in climbing comps? Was I lied to? I specifically asked someone this question
Not with fingers.
@@gimmepowder wow okay thank you. I told him I thought someone was known for sometimes using them as footholds and he replied, "oh, they recently changed the rules so you can't".

@@Troubledsham pretty sure they changed it to not being allowed soon after brooke used it
@@vsends oh no, now I don't know what to believe!
@@Troubledsham Damn. Now I have to hunt through the IFSC rules to find out if they did.
pretty good at landing too

YYEEEESSSSSSSS
Wow!!! No excuse for stories.
Genetic engineering in plain sight...
Natalia seem to be better within USA.
Natalia absolutely killed it last season but both of them are amazing.
Natalia is stronger but Brooke is the most experimental and creative with her betas.
I would do anything to marry this woman
158 cm means nothing to me
