Nice edit.
Hey thanks!
love how she is learning to lead belay throughout these videos lmao
lol I know, sketch
but the colors
I do like the colors
And your name
💪 Great job
Thank you! 🙏
Nice send dude
🙏 thanks boy
So inconsiderate of that guy in the beginning to walk under you while climbing… 😢
I hate that guy… kinda cute tho
This is the first thing I thought. The cute part

this one is a banger ruclips.net/video/LidiR-Vyr50/видео.html
Eldo has recently become my only place to climb at, but for trad climbing 🎉
👴
That last sloper crimp seemed very much not onky a v2 😅
😂
It’s an old school sandbag from our guy John Gill
big bag o’ sand
The rentals! 😂
John has my comfy shoes in Chicago lol… still waiting for them to be mailed
I learned a lot from looking at armwrestling where the wrist is a big focus. Strength training with the wrist wrench and talon grip from c4hp has also been good.
That makes a lot of sense with arm wrestling. I’m not familiar with the wrist wrench or talon grip but I do like C4HP - I’ll have to check em out. Thanks!
U seem beat up af my dude 😂 😢
This is true. 😂
Hey, this is weird - I embarked on a similar journey around 3 months ago. I had a ulna side injury that meant that ceratin sloper and angles were just not possible I started a whole wrist strengthening regime very similar to yours - I've found real improvements in the actual injury - it now occasionally gets triggered but then calms down quickly - the frequency of this is decreasing though. What I've really noticed is a stark improvement in my climbing ability - its like the wrist strength has supercharged the finger strength, I feel way more powerful on all kinds of holds, little crimps, slopers - everything. I've been doing climbs that had always eluded me before, and I've been climbing at a reasonable level for 30 years., Its wild! e.g. ruclips.net/video/r6Q7gcdi7dU/видео.html - I'd never come close in the past and I did it 4th go on toprope. I like your extensor curls - i've not been doing them. I'll add them in and report back. p.s. I've been absolutely been rinsing the training on my shoulders too - so this isn't the only factor
Lots to unpack there lol. Love to hear that you’ve seen progress and that’s pretty awesome that the wrist (and maybe shoulder) strength has made you feel stronger across the board! Kinda makes sense that the shoulders and wrists will go together - with the elbow being only a simple joint in between - if one has an issue it could pass it along to the other. I’m going to keep experimenting as well. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching 🙏
I had multiple surgeries on both my ulna and radius and once i had gotten back into climbing after everything was done i broke my radius (not fully) while trying to climb hard (didn't fall) so now I don't know if i should continue climbing in the future if there will be this kind of possibility.
Dang that’s crazy. Sorry to hear that. You musta been climbin real hard
The suspense is killing me, did you top!?
You gotta watch alllll the way to the end 😂 jk not yet!
@@TheJustinConnor very cool edit, it loops so it always looks like your about to get it and then starts over again with the miss! I'm sure you'll get it.
😉 sneaky sneaky. I hope to send it this week!
I have no wrist pain. However, particularly my right hand will go numb at night, and I'll wake up periodically to shake it awake. i know it's carpal tunnel but i'm looking for a way to alleviate it naturally. i'm also wondering if it's why i have such a weak grip strength. i've been climbing for a couple years now, 4-5x a week, every week, and i feel like my grip has barely improved. I wonder if it's due to my carpal tunnel or if it's something else?
The fact that it happens at night makes me think a wrist or elbow guard for sleep could help. Complicated stuff with the nerves tho, worth trying to figure it out with a doc. Hope it gets better for you!
same i wake up at night with numb hand. A hand specialist told me its carpal tunnel and that there are no exercises that can alleviate but i dont believe it. It’s possible to lengthen any soft-ish tissue in the body and its one of them that is tensioned so :)
I’m actually going to the doc this week about a similar nerve issue. If I can figure it out, will put out a vid!
@@telkmx that's my thinking. I do know that staying well hydrated helps quite a bit. Keeping those tendons well lubricated makes a big difference for me. Also, when i stretch it out really well, that also helps. It just sux to constantly have to go through these extra steps every time before a climbing session.
Hydration keeps seeming more and more important
I did this exact routine (almost) for about a 6 weeks with progressive overload. It was helpful but it was boring didn't seem to cure the problem. Few months ago I got one of those rolling thunder type devices, mine is a cheap copy from Amazon. Max pulls on that are actually kind of fun and they seem to have done the trick for me. Wrists are complicated!!
They are super boring lol. Rolling thunder… I’ll have to look into that. I definitely wanna experiment with more stuff
I should add hanging from a rolling thunder was a big eye opener, you need to flex your shoulders super hard to be able to hang from it and it made me realize my issue wasn't weak wrists it might have been weak shoulders!
Very interesting!
Makes sense the wrists and shoulders kinda go together
In the rentals too lol
That makes it a V7 😂
Mesa rim?
Yep, Austin
@@TheJustinConnor haha was just there with Elad, send his 💕
@@Perry0823noice
not wrist, forearms and tendons bud
What do you mean?
And it covers the motions of the wrist - what is your point?
I second all the wrist exercises. But, whenever I stretch my wrists, it always flairs up wrist pain. When I don't stretch, my wrists tend to handle everything I throw at them just fine. Maybe stretching wrists before exercise is bad but after is good but IDK. Also for laptop work, if you already have a monitor setup, then buy a separate keyboard! It doesn't have to be an ergonomic fancy one. Just having a keyboard that spaces out the keys more and loosens up your shoulders instead of them being pulled inward to fit the short width of your laptop keyboard can help a ton.
That’s interesting about the stretching. At one point I felt like maybe I was stretching too much but mostly it’s been far too little I think. 😂 I do have a separate keyboard, I just didn’t make the adjustments for the video out of laziness. You are totally right tho. I wish I had understood how important it really is like 2 years ago. Thanks for watching!
My son doesnt do stretching or exercising, but I think kids have a cheat code called youth lol the older we get the more care we need. 😂
This is very true! Trevor didn’t worry about any of this until like 2 years ago - poor guy 😂
Hi old man I'm just stronger and a better climber than you 😝
@ScratchRick 😂
Another great video! Keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do
awesome video and awesome editing!
Thanks Edgar! Appreciate you watching
Another Justin climbing movie I love how helpful your videos can be!
Thanks buddy! I’m feeling kinda down right now and your positive comments are a great pick me up 🙏
@TheJustinConnor ScratchRick is at school now but I can tell you on behalf of us to keep your chin up. Your clearly a very talented person with a top personality. Whatever has you down is just temporary and another problem to overcome (and maybe that just means time) and happiness will follow. I wish the youtube algorithm gave your videos more credit and eyes which they do deserve and I'm sure once they get out there you'll have more support from a bigger community. Until then just know you have friends who care about you and want to see you succeed. ❤️
Your family is the best! That really means a lot. Thanks for the kind words. I won’t forget how supportive you’ve all been! ❤️
“Cheecago”😂
😂
😄
Injuries have turned me into a trad climber 😂
Bro, that’s so sad. We will boulder again 🫥
After over 10 years of climbing i still cant fall right 😅
😂 you’re not alone
I got it after about 6 months of climbing. I was going hard, way too hard...evidently. Still dealing with it 2 years later. What fucks with me is that is not my pulling that suffers the most (the pain does flaire a bit right after). Instead tricep isolation hurst like a mother effer (not push ups nor shoulder presses or any compound movement).
Ah man that sucks, sorry to hear it. I haven’t experienced any tricep specific pain or issues but I’ve also dealt with it for a few years now too. With shorter and less frequent sessions, I haven’t thought about it in a while tho. Hopefully you can get past it soon! 🤞
Make sure you get healthy before you get back to CO so we can climb and snowboard!
That’s the plan buddy!
P.s. weve said it before, you do amazing video work from your filming to your naration edits ans everything.
And I always appreciate it! 🙏
Looks like some really great rock to climb on!! Some of your sends are scarily high 😮. Do you often climb by yourself? You should have someone to spot you more often IMHO. Better safe than sorry.
Some of the best rock out there! I do like bouldering by myself - although I’m psyched to get back to Colorado in April to be back with my boulder buds - and some of these are pretty tall… Honestly tho, they are all pretty chill up top. When I am alone, I really take a long time climbing up and down boulders until I am comfortable with the moves to take it to the top. I’m also much better than your average climber at ground falls 🤷♂️. With the combo of patience, falling technique and a good pad setup, I never push it too much out of my comfort zone
Also, once the boulder hits a certain height, it’s safer not to have spotters unless it’s to keep you from rolling off a cliff or something
Also at 32:14 is that rockentry? haha
Yessir! Met him at Kraft a few times and now we’re best friends 😉
@@TheJustinConnor that's super cool! Haha
Damn, these boulders look sick. At 9:45 is that all the dust? must've been some windy day! I would love to try these if I could! Also, that boulder at 27:30 I'd love to take videos of it! haha
That was chalk lol. Yeah, the pearl is a beauty! You definitely need to get out to Kraft!
@@TheJustinConnor maybe one day man!
Kraft is a very close 2nd place to Joes Valley. Love it there, and can’t wait to return with a healthy wrist
Heavy claim! Maybe true lol. Me too buddy
It's been a while since you posted a non-short video, I'm looking forward to the next one. 🤩 I also just posted a new video from when I went outdoor rock climbing up to 5.11a in Japan! Hope you check it out! 🙏🙏🙏
Dude I know! I haven’t been editing lately as part of my wrist rehab but hoping to get back on it soon. Sounds sweet, I’ll check it out now!
@@TheJustinConnor take care of yourself first but I'm glad you'll watch it I hope you like it!
Hey I’m new here, why are you moving to Texas if you enjoy Colorado?
Hello! The gf and I have been moving around for a while, deciding where to live long term. Her sisters family lives here in Austin tx and we already had that move planned before deciding that we are going to live in Colorado long term starting in April. Thanks for watching!
@@TheJustinConnor That’s pretty cool, i’ve always wanted to move out to Colorado from Pennsylvania. I want to figure out a career change first though, something with my own hours otherwise I’d just be a weekend warrior in colorado instead of PA😂
That is true lol if you’ve got a little flexibility to get out during the week it makes a big difference!
Man, this hit way to close to home. I've been having issues since late May, early June... I'm definitely in the frantic youtube search phase right now. Might have some ulnar nerve entrapment going on with it as well. It's frustrating because I'm just getting into lead climbing outdoors after being an indoor only boulder gumby for 5 years, and I really feel like what I need to get better at lead is longer sessions and lower volume for my endurance to pickup. Why oh why couldn't I have gotten into climbing at 18 when my body would be primed for recovery. It's good to hear from your experience because it really validates my own. My current plan is to keep trying those strengthening exercises (as a warm up for my 2 sessions a week and then my 1 day of strength training at home).. and I guess I'll have to keep my sessions shorter. Best of luck.
Sorry you’re dealing with that. It’s a real annoyance when you are trying to progress. I think finding ways to get more volume is the hardest thing. If you get out of the pain cycle and get really strong though, I am sure you can work some in, just may take a year or two. I haven’t worked any real volume or endurance training lately, so hard to know, but it’s been some time since I’ve felt any elbow pain… My plan was to do more handstands as someone commented that had really helped “cure” their climbers elbow but now it’s the wrists that I’m rehabbing lol so that’ll have to wait for now
Just use the heel…
Perhaps 🤷♂️ I dono
I like that advice for giving yourself a list to follow before doing something scary. being a little inspired by the jumps I was able to get out for some. Are there any methods for not biffing your flips on a cliff dive. I was trying new stuff off a short jump and I managed to slap my balls on the water just right during a side flip and on a botched back full the river slapped me in face pretty good.
That’s sweet dude! Hmm, well I’ve biffed it a few times myself too. I feel like it’s mostly getting the timing of the height you are jumping from, so even if you don’t know where you’re at in your flip you still know when you’re about to hit the water. That said, my last double side flip was pretty bad and I took a face full of water and now I’m a little scared for the next one 🤷♂️
Between 1985-2005, I was in Josh for a week at least 3 times a year. IMO, this is one of the coolest climbs you can do anywhere. It may be "only" 5.6, but... Just getting to the first bolt is interesting in itself, the finish on the arete is exposed, airy and worth the price of admission alone, and the perch on top is unique. If you want to make it more interesting, do it under a full moon.
Damn, I’m jealous. I’ve only been a few times, but this was certainly one of my favorite climbs ever, no matter the grade. First time we didn’t have a stick so that first clip was a doozy!
@@TheJustinConnor Stick clip? What's a stick clip? lol Yeah, getting to that first bolt definitely gets your attention.
🤣
I went outdoor bouldering for the first time yesterday. So much fun but seriously difficult. We started on a V1 and I couldn't even see the foot holds at first. We climbed on Granite and it was tough on the hands. Much more difficult than indoor bouldering.
Awesome! This is very true. Gets just a little easier with practice lol but always so fun. Thanks for watching!
Yes, keep going with the sing songs. So much fun ! ( You may come up with a hit song ??)
Maybe a 💩 song
No holds barred!!!
I’ve barred myself from a couple of hold types at the moment lol
Hope all your machines are ok
Get better soon ❤️
Workin on it!
You make me laugh …. And cry ….did you hurt your wrist?
Up late eh? 😂 Not much then but it’s a bit janky overall at the moment. Rehabbing it up real good
Loved that opening statement, Justin! "Easy to make it complicated, but hard to make it simple." Agree with this 100%. Thanks for sharing all of these and in such a fun, casual format. Loved all the great tips as well! I'll definitely keep a lot of these in mind. Also, that casey neistat ending 😄
lol thanks buddy! Doing a lot of experimenting and trying to learn as much as I can. Putting my thoughts down in a video like this seems to help. Thanks for watchin 🤙
Nice climb !
Hey thanks! Really makes me miss the red
