This so far my favorite “teaching” video on the channel. Explanations from Jenya are extremely helpful and very detailed and Jenya seems pretty confident in what she thinks is most important on a boulder. Just wow
Really great content Hannah, Jenya provides fantastic coaching tips - 45 degrees of force into volumes. Love these collabs, it’s so relatable to see you progressing as a ‘normal’ climber trying and learning with this kind of input, I think it’s good for the 80% of us who are paddling the same boat.
Thanks Jed, I really appreciate that! I’ve been learning so much from climbers I’ve been working with lately, and I hope the tips translate into practical applications for viewers to improve their own sessions too ☺️
I love Jenya's attitude to climbing and her slab knowledge and teaching is second to none. It was fantastic to see your progress and confidence grow with each attempt. We all need a Jenya with us at the climbing gym 🤩
Great video. Jenya hasn't really been on my radar before but I'll be rooting for her big time this year, especially after reading the letter she wrote to the IFSC.
Mate I really like what you do. This looks just like a personal training session, with a good teacher you really vibe with. It doesn't feel scripted at all and so much of it applies to my training. Also the faces you pull as you climb are everything. Very relatable
This was awesome. Learned a ton from this, especially how Jenya analyzes the angle of force of the foot on volumes. And jeez, flashing that green problem was so impressive, that jump move was even sketchy for Jenya haha. Keep it up!!
Thanks Nick! It was a really fun move that I was pretty psyched to stick. The 90 degree rule will be a game changer for me for slabs in future I think!
Great explanations. You want your foot as far as possible from the wall, so you can lean into the wall, and you want to apply pressure vertically onto the volume. However, what they didn’t tell you, is that both of these tips are contradictory as by moving the foot farther from the wall, the angle will become steeper or worse compared to the vertical degree. So it’s a trade off: You are slipping -> put your foot closer to the wall You are falling of the wall because you can’t lean into the wall -> put your foot farther from the wall.
@@hannahmorrisbouldering Not gonna lie, when my skin and arms begin to cry for mercy, I just look around for a slab 😂like "there's still rubber on those shoes, let the balance game begin"
Man I love these MasterClass videos. I love slab, but I'm not so great at slab, but I want to be great at slab. Slab. I also love how down to earth Hannah is. Her fears are relatable (even though she crushes wayyyyyyyy harder than I do). Also Jenya 😍
This may sound silly, but seeing that you’ve uploaded a video has brightened a bad day. You’re my favourite bouldering RUclipsr and your videos are so accessible! I learn so much from them and now positively obsessed myself!
Jenya is a talented climber. I’m enjoying watching these videos as I have recently (2 weeks ago) have been hit by a lorry. Which I have been bruised and concussed from. These videos help as when I’m better I will put all of this valuable knowledge when I am back climbing. Thank you Hannah (which is also my name) 😊
@@hannahmorrisbouldering Thank You. Your climbing videos inspire me that bouldering isn’t that scary. Which is what I struggle with. You are the sweetest 😊
The excitement on your face when landed the start to boulder 2 was amazing! Great work on the blocs Absolutely awesome video, I feel like I learned a lot watching this! Loved how encouraging Jenya was
Glad you enjoyed it! I feel like that 'aha' moment captures the best of climbing. Really glad you took some useful tips away from Jenya - she's a great teacher!
Jenya is awesome! BTW, for the last boulder... last sequence, J used the left foot up rather than right - push with right hand on the volume. Might make a difference.
That was a super useful episode! I never thought about foot angle and I'm always uncertain about my foot slipping. Now i think I'll be more confident next time! Also Jenya is very cute, great smile. Cheers!
I've seen Jenya in my home gym in Kingston Ontario!! I've been watching your channel for a while now, so it feels weird seeing someone I've seen in person with you. Love the video, Maybe one day I'll make it out to London to see you and Nate!
Wow, Hannah really improved in trusting her feet. Especially in the last boulder! I think it will serve her well, because she had such good hip mobility. I foresee some great slabs in her future!
I actually just got back from a really fun slab session so you might be right! I’m getting more into it the more I understand the movement. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Since i saw Jenya some years ago for the first time climbing in the ifsc worlcup, she is definitely one of my favorite female heroes. She and Staša Gejo. I can't really say why. I think they are both working really hard to stay where they're staying. Nice Video. Good Content here in general. Thanks
Really interesting and helpful video. Some great tips and climbing. Shame I just got back from my climbing session. Tips for the weekend visit though. Thank you
Those looked like some tricky smears on that last problem! I feel like not trusting a foot becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in those situations because it won't stick unless you put a good amount of weight into it
I’ve been betrayed too many times by “a weighted foot never slips” hehe! Learning to trust my feet more and more though! I think learning how to fall properly has helped me work on the fear of trusting my feet too. ☺️

Once Jenya finishes her professional career, she should have her own channel. She is such a good teacher and very sympathetic.

Wow, thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Jenya was a really great teacher and I think I’m a bit of a slab convert now!
I also enjoyed it. The tips are really great, and I never heard them before.
Jenya seems cool. Always find myself cheering for her in world cups. Great collab.
I love how you're bringing all these comp climbers on recently! They are always a joy to watch^^ and educational too
Glad you enjoy it! I'm hoping to be able to share more sessions like this this year :)

From Shauna, the crimp queen, to Jenya, whom I think is the best slab climber on the circuit currently, you are crushing it!
Thank you! I’m having so much fun filming episodes with amazing climbers. Feel very lucky! 🥹
Jenya is such a good teacher, very detailed.
You're slowly but surely becoming my favorite climbing channel on YT!
Made my day 💐💐

Wow this was great you guys! Waited until I got home today to watch this on the big screen 🤩 Jenya was an awesome teacher. We support you Jenya! 💙💛

I have been following both you and Jenya for a while so I am really happy to see this colab 😍
That’s great to hear. It was great to spend a session learning from Jenya. I hope you find the session fun to watch 😍
I love that she said the red was a good warm up it took me the best part of an hour to get that boxed off 😂 once again though great video thank you!!
Being able to do slab climbing is a matter of knowing every detail, Jenya just gave those to us!
Wow, nice to see world class climber explaining everything just simple and also enjoying it and having fun 🤩
Great explanations. You want your foot as far as possible from the wall, so you can lean into the wall, and you want to apply pressure vertically onto the volume.

Fantastic! I love Jenya's climbing style - so graceful, patient and strong. And she explains/coaches slab so well. Great climbing, Hannah!!
She was a wonderful coach to have for a slabs session! And she absolutely crushes!
Slabs are so underrated ! We need more slab boulders in climbing gyms !
6 months ago I wouldn’t have agreed, but I’m slowly learning to embrace and love the slab!
@@hannahmorrisbouldering Not gonna lie, when my skin and arms begin to cry for mercy, I just look around for a slab 😂like "there's still rubber on those shoes, let the balance game begin"
Hannah, you are getting better!! So happy to see you evolve. Trust
This was a lot of fun. Jenya did a great job of explaining useful technique for slab climbing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man I love these MasterClass videos. I love slab, but I'm not so great at slab, but I want to be great at slab. Slab. I also love how down to earth Hannah is. Her fears are relatable (even though she crushes wayyyyyyyy harder than I do). Also Jenya 😍

Very interesting and educational video! I love slab climbing 😊 so thank you for this video Hannah! 😊😊. By the way- you are amazing at climbing !!!
You're so welcome! I hope you get some useful tips for slab climbing. I'm enjoying it more and more the more I learn how to approach it :)
Also don’t let anyone put you down because you are amazing at what you do and are so inspirational to look up to! 😊❤️
I just ordered one of the Hannah Morris Bouldering tees- super excited 😆 for when it comes!
Как же приятно Женьку увидеть, пусть даже в зале. Больших скал и погоды.
yayyy awesome to see jenya on the channel!
It was amazing to have her on as a guest - hope you enjoyed ☺️
Another amazing collaboration - thank you for the education and entertainment! 👏👏👏
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoy the videos ☺️

Me neither. I recently learned the 'drop your heels' tip too and that helped so much to help my fear of slipping. Glad you enjoyed the episode :)

Hehe climbing is a small world, that’s cool! We seem to have lots of travels planned for the next year so you never know! 😆

very cool explanations from Jenya and great climbing from Hannah! hope to see Jenya in some future videos 👌🙏
I hope so too!
Yes! You and Jenya crushed the slab 😍
new subscriber. new climber (3 months) and have been enjoying your channel. This video with Jenya is my new favorite. (sorry louis)
YESSS!! Hannah Morris upload. You guys are looking soooo strong and so bad ass :) I'm going to start using "slab wizard".
Also, the 90 degree thing was super interesting to hear about. I'm definitely going to start thinking about that every time I do slab.
Woot woot, Jenya was deffo a slab wizard of the highest order. Thanks for commenting!
those animation of the different wordings are just sososo nice!!
Thank you! It was nice to have a little more time to get creative with this one 😀
always excited to see ur content,Hannah....keep it up
Yay! Thank you! It's so nice to hear you're enjoying the videos :)

Shoutout to girl around 34:20 that crushed that Boulder in the background
Great session and excellent coaching from Jenya. Thanks for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Terrific video with so many great advise points including the mindset talk.

So much detail about slabs, which I am sooo bad at, so super useful 😁
Hope you find the tips useful for your next slab session ☺️☺️🫶
Really interesting and helpful video. Some great tips and climbing.
Shame I just got back from my climbing session. Tips for the weekend visit though. Thank you
Hope they come in handy for your next session! & thanks as always for your comment ☺️☺️
Thank you both for the inspiration!
Our pleasure!
Your face before you start running towards a hold is amazing 😆
Hahah the CONCENTRATION! 🥹
This was great, made me want to try more slabs
Hope you enjoy your slab sessions! 🫶
Yaaaas, I love slab so much!
love the optimism
hope u have a great day
I love that her outfit is the Ukrainian flag colours
Gained a lot from this, great tips and video!
Glad it was helpful! Happy slab climbing :)
you found a new follower here, cool video, really helpfull!
Could you do one for dynamic climbing? I am good at static climbing but scared to slip or hurt myself with dynamics.
There’s a few on the channel with Louis which focus on dynamic movement and we have one coming soon with a guest looking at dynos in particular! ☺️
This video is so informative 😊
Really glad you found it useful 🙏
Hannah crushing it! Fun. And Jenya! Nice!
Yes! Thank you!
Just wondering, what was wrong with what Hannah was doing at 5.02ish?
I had my finger in a screw hold haha!
she seems lovely! also liked the call out right at the start :D
She’s lovely! ☺️☺️
❤ Great video!
Thank you!
post videos of you trying the red and blue problems thats what i need help with
Ahhh, I didn’t try either. Was the blue one the one with the massive knee bar - that looked HARD
Love Jenya😍😍😍
She’s great!
So not only a great climber, she is also a really good coach. And really, what's not to love about slabs?
She was a fantastic coach to have trying the boulders, totally made me feel like I could have a good go! & an incredibly inspiring climber to watch ☺️
Jenya is awesome!
Agreed
Those looked like some tricky smears on that last problem! I feel like not trusting a foot becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in those situations because it won't stick unless you put a good amount of weight into it
I’ve been betrayed too many times by “a weighted foot never slips” hehe! Learning to trust my feet more and more though! I think learning how to fall properly has helped me work on the fear of trusting my feet too. ☺️
please can you do a video on smearing? :C i really hate it (i dont know why, maybe im scared of ruining my shoes)
I could definitely look into covering smearing on the channel ☺️
We can expect to see you at the Olympics in a while :)
love it
Slava Ukraini!
Alannah Yip sighting!
Eagle eyes! ☺️
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
"Should have done my stretches" yes. Yes you should!
Seen seen seen
"This volume is ok: it will not slip... straight away." 😅
Ahahahaha im fairly new to climbing but already ive learnt the phrase "oh thats interesting" is never good
Not slab but SLAV..
Slabtastic adventure!
