The idea about how moves aren't just moves, its thr positions and the way that you have to take the correct line between the start and end position.

Another class act, thanks again, keep em coming!

I love the comment on Toby and honestly it’s one of the reasons for why I love him, he has a lot of heart you can tell he takes so much punishment but he never stops trying mega hard.

Hey Nate! I know a lot of climbers who struggle with chronically getting finger injuries (me included), even when trying to abide by best practices. While there’s a lot of content on how to rehab, I haven’t seen a lot of preventative content. Would love a video that goes over how to push yourself hard in climbing/training while avoiding this cycle of injury.

Damn didn't get first!

Am I an advanced climber? No. Am I going to aspirationally watch this, and re-watch the entire series repeatedly? Absolutely.

Superbe content - I did this often but always unconcious Gonna try this on my proj I would really like to see more en detail videos like this one Microbeta, Microhacks for the advanced climbers Heel and toehooks in depth would also interest me Thanks nate for your work, it si amazing

Can we get these uploaded to Spotify or some podcast app?

ideas for band names number 97: "Fleshy Wedge"

These are so good. Thanks for sharing this encyclopedia! I really like how you broke down the Memory work into steps and including things like the Power spotting which I've never seen done in this sport but makes a lot of sense.

You will do a deep dive into pedagogy right?

hell yeah, this content is what we all need 💪🏻🧨

This was incredibly useful immediately. Would you recommend using this technique while hang boarding? And would love to hear more about specifics regarding grip types, techniques, what/when they’re good, etc!

Love the bit about Steph Curry. Reminded me of a cringe episode of the Lattice Training Podcast with Dan Hipkiss (trainer of "worlds strongest man" athletes) where he seemed to claim powerlifting was going to be the future of rock climbing training and that Adam Ondra would be climbing way harder if he was power lifting.

Preach!

Maintaining a blue collar mindset is an underrated skill 🔨

Just found this series, and I have to say, most of the advice is great. I almost never subscribe, but this one is definitely worth it :) Thanks for the content and keep it up. I now have a 42 point checklist that I'll start working on as soon as I'm back from my injury. :)

Thank you Nate for this wonderful series. I would love for a series/video about injury prevention. Thank you!

I don't agree with your opinion on soft and stiff shoe, that soft shoe makes you more fluid and stiff shoe makes you clunky. It is really a personal preference.

Another banger!! Love the content thanks for all the amazing tips and guidance 💪😎

Good video. What is the #1 roller coaster you’ve been on out of curiosity?

Nate making my day again! Keep them coming!

Can't hide those Dan John books from me! Both are great!

Was hugely looking forward to this. RUclips just started recommending me these videos and they genuinely fill a niche that is nowhere else addressed. Please keep making these videos!

I've been climbing almost 7 years, and I've watched a ton of videos. I learn something very insightful every video. THANK YOU !!!

I've seen Adam Ondra talk about this, but I often forget it and don't think to use it while I'm climbing but with your very clear explanation and the simple concept to "overshoot", I think (i hope) I'll remember more easily when I will go climbing, so thank you (sorry for my english...I'm french and we are notoriously known to suck at english ;) )

Fantastic video, loved the long-form content. Thank you!

A skill I'd be interested in learning more about is how to tell when something is hard because I'm doing it wrong, or if it's just a hard move.

There's so much to think about here, thanks so much!!

Thanks for another great educational video! I am interested in learning how to generate upward momentum from tiny feet and small side pulls (that are rally crimps). I know that’s super specific, but I’ve run up against this several times recently!

Quality content as always dude! Would love to be able to get these talks on spotify, I'd definitely queue them up on long drives to the crag.

I'm generally somewhat stingy with "liking" RUclips videos, but I can confidently hit the like button on these videos before even watching them. Great work on all the content you're putting out Nate!

Really great video, Nate. I've been climbing for 14 years and I just recently strongly changed my mindset on how much skill matters in climbing. I've mostly climbed in the US, and I took a 3 month trip to climb and ski in Japan. I spent a good 2 months in tokyo and had probably 30 or so sessions in Bpump Ogikubo. I really changed my perspective about skill and the breadth of ability and the importance of athletic coordination, movement synchronization etc that is present in today's competition climbing. Climbing with world cup level climbers and getting advice from them, along with being challenged by the kind of route-setting that is present in Japan really strongly changed my mind. I was almost stuck in a mindset plateau with the kind of setting the US gyms and board problems enforced of being limited by finger strength to really push double digits. I still think it's extremely important, but climbing in Japan for a while really changed my mind!

I think Nate hit it with the word nuance. Climbing in japan I feel that small changes have a big effect that can completely change how hard a climb is, its kinda crazy how it ties to his next point for beta hunters. I used to be from the try hard camp and now I'm on the otherside, maybe someday I'll hit the balance

Hey Nate! Awesome video! Wondering if a pyramid of 8:4:2:1 is too small for bouldering? For example, I’ve done x4 V8s, x2 V9, is it too soon to try V10? Or should I build out the pyramid more?

I would be really interested in learning about the position of our shoulders and how does it affect our climbing. Really appreciate all of the information you put out there, your videos changed my approach to climbing in the last few months in a very awesome way!

My 🚩 is being an intermediate climber, and watching this advanced climber series intently as if I had business in employing and utilizing half of these tips.

"Things just get strange." This one with the first idea of 'when to try harder' are key!

woohoo

It's back!

Thank you so much for your effort. Looking forward to go through the points, and see where I can improve. Do you have a website etc. where the 77 Tips are listed?

@NateDrolet Hi Nate, I have been climbing primarily in the gym for the past 4 years, but I climbed mainly outdoors for 3 years when I was in my early 20s (I'm 41 now). This video contains great information for newer climbers, however, I can't help but wonder whether it might be more easily understood if the concepts were presented along with both an example from indoors and an example from outdoors for each. That said, I'm sure that at upper-intermediate and higher levels this pedagogical division is unnecessary. BTW, I'm offering this suggestion as food for thought because I'm grateful for the truly useful content you are providing in this series (thanks!🙏) and because I feel that I have a bit of insight into how the knowledge of climbing differs between newbies indoors and out. When I was younger, I climbed as hard as V5 outside, but when I returned to climbing (in the gym) at 37, excess body weight and lack of fitness had me initially climbing alongside rank beginners. Basically, I just feel that the environments and associated vocabularies are so different that gym-first climbers might struggle to understand some of what you say. For example, folks who have never climbed on natural rock could be confused by even the mention of something like route finding. I say this as one who has had intermediate gym climbers ask me "How do you know where the holds are when you climb outside?" Of course, for someone with absolutely zero outdoor climbing experience, this is actually quite a good question!🙂

I've found all those tips very much valuable. Thanks a lot Nate! Do you plan to talk about execution while sending? That's really interesting aspect of climbing that varies between climbers.

A couple things I would love to hear more about is eating, especially specific examples of snacks and how to time them, and how to use breath. Something I didn’t catch in the beginner nor intermediate is specific discussion about belaying - I would love a deep dive into beginner, intermediate, and advanced belay techniques! You touch on the importance of trusting your belayer and for me this is probably the #1 element that impacts my climbing each lead session. Thanks Nate, loving this content❤

I am super interested in more info about body positioning, flagging and hip location for various angles.

🤯awesome content

Considering 9: Do you have any recommendations for books that tackle this topic? Because I think this point is super huge.

"provocative positions" - excellent word choice, I'm stealing that Nate!

Great series! I'd like to hear more about complex moves that come with advanced climbing. Specifically looking at crosses/rose moves for people with naturally wide shoulders. I've realized these moves compared to peers at the same level are increasingly challenging for my body type, and I'm hoping that I'm just missing some technique points that other people do naturally (i.e. do i need to dip my head in certain a certain direction, is it better to stay low and focus on hanging not pulling when doing these moves, etc.)

Around 12 minutes. I want “the greatest Folly” T-shirt! Freakin dead on! Go Nate!
