Intro to Rock Climbing for Beginners - How to, Terminology & Gear [4K]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2017
- Learning to climb can be a bit daunting for beginners. You need to know how to navigate the gym, what rock climbing gear to buy/rent, and generally might be intimidated by the lingo everyone is using, not to mention the climbing and belaying training you have to go through. Anytime you get into something new, these feelings come up. Yet it doesn't need to be like this, which brings us to the point of our BLUF videos. Hopefully this rock climbing video gives you a little bit of knowledge of the sport and an idea of how much fun climbing can be so you can make the decision on jumping in or looking elsewhere.
The outdoor climbing in this video was at Castle Rock State Park in California. The indoor climbing was at Rock Out Climbing Gym in Destin, Florida.

*SO WE WEREN'T CLIMBING, BUT WE WERE IN UGANDA AND A GORILLA CHARGED ME AND GRABBED MY LEG, AND I ALMOST TRIED TO CLIMB A TREE TO GET AWAY*

Cant have shit in uganda 💀💀💀
That’s terrifying! A gorilla is strong enough to tear you limb off!
I would have taken a poo poo. Like-a da ice cream.
I’m going on date and we’re rock climbing. Please pray for me.
Edit: I had fun with rock climbing man but it wasnt meant to be. I met someone else and we are still together 2 years later.
Rock climbing isn't for me. 🤣
You’ll do great!! ✌️
Kirsty Briggs same I searching this bc it’s my first time
I hope you enjoyed it, my 3 year old asks me every morning, and every day when I come home, to go rock climbing.
How did it go?
ANSWER!!!
I love seeing a climbing video from someone who isn't a crazy good climber
Thanks! I think? Yea, climbing is hard, haha 😆
felt like this was a lowkey roast lol
Yeaaa I dunno maybe
TaylorBedo but also if you look at other climbing channels you have people like Magnus Midtbo and compared to that, he is a beginner (no offense). I mean Magnus can do a freaking 1 arm muscle up and 20 muscle ups after a long climbing day, and he also has amazing technique so it isn’t just pure strength either, etc.
Yes! I found this WAY more helpful because it felt in reach (haha). Seeing someone who I can look to get to without feeling way too far behind was really nice :)
climbing gives you different vibes that somehow can change your outlook in life.
Adrenaline is centering...nature is good for the brain...so seems like it would make life better for sure
Went rock climbing (bouldering) with a friend for the first time ever yesterday and had so much fun! I started with VB and V1 but got all the way up to climbing multiple V3!! Honestly really proud of myself
The fact that y’all are playing Atmosphere in that gym is bad ass!!!!!
“It’s called a figure 8 because it’s a figure 8, you can see that it is a figure 8 by the way that it is” might be my favorite part of the video lmao
I remember when my cousin took us climbing at a gym. It was REALLY fun, though I couldn't do the boulder climbs. I'm excited to drive down to my local climbing center, even though I'll be alone, I think I'll have a good time learning.
I’m 28 and just getting into climbing I really appreciated your video
I’m from Australia and I love watching your climbing video. I started climbing two years ago for a new challenge, it gave me confidence and last year I went to a lunch event and met the man of my dreams who is now my husband. He can’t climb due to a medical issue but I do bouldering about twice a week. I have subscribed to your channel and anyone can learn at any age.
As a newer climber, this is fun to watch. People need to know depending on how you climb numbers aren't a thing. Try what you can. Go for it!
I’m studying videos atm, I have a fear of heights. And I just recently conquered a tall ladder and stairs. But I wanna start out slow with this and ease my way in. I conquered my entire arachnid phobia, I no longer fear spiders and other arachnids. I conquered my severe fear of doctors and needles… Nos it’s time for this. ^^
This is something I've been wanting to try but it's so freaking terrifying.
Go for it Jack! 😁
Same i tried it once and i kinda clamed up it was kinda scary lol
Lol what happens if you fall
1:37 atmosphere in the background, nice
when the question on the test says to explain your answer
5:38
Being short has it’s advantages and disadvantages. Good for weight/grip ratio but when long reaches are needed I have to often jump more.
i just started a couple of weeks ago and i love it! i am not very good at all. i am doing V1 climbs, but i think that is only because i have always worked out. climbing is tough, but really rewarding! thanks for the awesome video!
You’ll be crushing V3s in no time!!
@@BottomLineUpFront thank you so much! i hope so!
I dont know who that girl is but my goodness she is incredibly gorgeous with that beautiful spirit and smile.
That’s a great compliment! 😁✌️
Bodhi Evel 😳😬 I’m pretty sure that’s his girl, man.
They all have great spirits, I feel comfy when I'm watching this content
This was so helpful BLUF - Thank you!
Wow, lotsa fun when other ppl w/ U. W/ belayer & rope, there's safety practices. Thx 4 sharing on the internet. Keep on rock climbing.
Love hearing Atmosphere bumping in the background at the gym. 👌
Really enjoyed this video. Would live to see more climbing tutorials. I use to climb a lot and am getting back into it but really enjoyed the basics instruction and felt it was very informative.
Thanks! When’s the last time you climbed??
@@BottomLineUpFront about 2 weeks ago. Me and my brother went for his bachelor party since we used to climb all the time.
I am glade there are climbing videos like this! I love climbing! the hardest one I have completed was 5.11
That’s actually really good!
Thumb's up for Atmosphere in the background :) And a helpful climbing video!
Anyone can get into climbing assuming there is a climbing gym nearby.... :/
CJ Langley or rocks that are big enough to hug
Yeah, no way for someone like me who isn't nearby one... There are natural climbing sites in my village (People call em hills, lol) but those are too hard for beginner
exactly :(
I realy like the format of your video. Jumping back to provide lingo in context is a nice touch. i'm going to subscribe. Now.... time to binge your channel.
Love it! Start with season 1! 😛
Love how she quoted neature walk at 5:37
Well it was pretty neat and we don’t want it to be only her knowin it 😋
that was really good for someone like me who hasn't tried it yet - THANK YOU
Lemme just say I embarrassed myself to death when I went rock climbing with friends at a fair 😭 I couldn’t even do it and their was a crowd in line just watching mee and I know they were laugh lol 😂 IT LOOKED SOO EASY but bro I was wrong loll I’m watching videos how to rock climb so this never happens again :/ lol
I hope you improve and go to a fair and show everyone how to climb like a pro 😁
Everyone does (or at least feel like they do) their first time!
Same lol i thought it would be easy lol nope
You guys look like a really fun group! Loved the video
Great intro video to climbing might give this a shot this summer since snowboard season is over
Go for it! Do you have a local climbing gym or are you going to go for the real deal (outdoor on a mountain)?
I’m not sure I’d have to look around and see I probably should do indoor Since I’ve never done it before
Cant wait to get into climbing
It’s a great sport - when are you starting??
I can’t wait for when I am able to experience climbing… inside and outside. Right now i’m working on losing weight (it will be HARD to support myself climbing when i’m overweight) so then it can be easier. I’m so excited for this new chapter so experience in my life.
I like this. Honest. No BS.
ATMOSPHERE SUNSHINE bumping in the background.
the song??
Atmosphere playing in the background
Thank you I'ma get out my comfort zone and give climbing a shot ..
Let's go climb!
Just exploring & watching different rock climb vids. I believe I want to start.
But I'm not sure where to start.
Lou
These are great for beginners to practice
Is the beard required?
Having a beard is recommended when climbing, but not mandatory 😐
Fair game then.
Yes
Unfortunately
There are two types of people. Men with beards and women
Okay I'm excited, I thought my only option was this one gym that was 20 bucks a month but I found one that is just bouldering and that's 5 bucks for the whole day, and only 10 minutes away from me. I think that'll be a great start
5 bucks a day is gonna cost more than 20 per month if you go 5 times in a month
Castle rock looks sick! I need to take a road trip ^^
Atmosphere playing in the background haven’t heard that song since college.
Unrelated but i know the song that they were playing in this gym for a minute! I was literally listening to it earlier lol
My phone doesn’t have 4K
Going to go to my local climbing gym this week about 30 minutes away. Started taking mtb more seriously a year and a half or 2 ago and have somewhere in the 2000-2500 mile range in so It wouldn’t be first sport to fall in love with. I have 5-6 huge boulders in my yard largest one is 40-50x30-40 and about 15-20feet tall. We’ve actually had people come and boulder on them before there’s a pretty hard vertical route that i definitely can’t do I used to use my moms rock climbing shoes😂 so much to learn I can’t wait and I’ve got practice in my backyard😂
When you start climbing, should/do you get a trainer/coach to guide you? Or just frequently visit the climbing gym and gain experience over time?
Just start hitting the climbing gym and make friends with the regulars, it’s pretty easy to get into; climbers are known to be friendly people!
Just start hitting the climbing gym and learn how to belay, once you get more into it it’ll be easy to meet more and more people who are in and love the sport. Just get out there and do it!
At most climbing gym you can request a short (20-30 min) intro to how to climb, literaly the basics, then after that just push yourself as hard as you can. You can check out my chanel for some clips if u want☺
Take a belay class and offer catches to people that know how to climb. In turn they will belay you and naturally help coach you up the wall.
How neat is that! Pretty neat
I'm going to start going to the rock climbing gym with my brother every Saturday starting in two days! It's basically my dream to be fit, but I've been too scared to try because of medical issue so wish me luck :D
Ug! Climbing at Castle Rock State Park! Those climbs you were trying to do ARE very slippery. I hope you moved over to the better clinging to the right of that area.
love you man
let me tell you noobs a little story about wearing helmets,
for years I skated, mostly street, with no helmet, went to the local indoor park one day with my friends and they had introduced a new compulsory helmet policy after some crazy parent tried to sue the skate park.
we all bought one and went at it.
after skating some ledges and rails I went to drop in on an empty pipe, it was not a big ramp only about 5ft high.
every thing normal, tail on the coping, dropped in and disaster.... I didn't know it but I'd snapped my back kingpin on a previous landing...
my board fish tailed all over the place, I came off, my ass hit the other side and the back of my head smashed the steel coping so loudly the whole park stopped to see what had just happened...
i shrugged it off and fiddled with my snapped King pin, 45 minutes later... I didn't know my name, how old I was, where I lived, where I was or who I was with... passed out.... 8hrs later I woke up on my friends dinning room table...
if I wasn't wearing that helmet I'm pretty sure I'd have permanent brain damage.
my advice buy a helmet first.... your dealing with a lot more force than skating a small halfpipe
and as you go forward dont forget to assess the equipment your using, is it time to retire it before something bad happens?
goes for anything, cars, lovers, friends, jobs, get in and get out. safely.
8 billion people and 155 million km2 to explore, what ya hanging around for 😉
I can't hear voice properly because of background music
Me neither. 😫
Same, i can't even really hear the music either just the hard bass which sounds like someone banging pots and pans together
Extremely annoying.
Awesome video - really cool to see both bouldering and top roping! Btw - just discovered your channel and noticed much your interests overlap with mine. Bouldering, travel, minimalism, etc. I'm also planning to quit my job to travel the world within the next year. Really cool to find another channel with such similar interests! Just subscribed. Look forward to following :)
Thanks James! We're super stoked for what's about to come, kind of feels like we are waiting for Christmas as the days crawl by. We'll start our journey around mid-December :)
@@BottomLineUpFront Good luck!
Thanks
but how do u get the rope to the top of the cliff to attach the pulley
I really like your video. My likes 👌👌👌. Thank you very much
This would have to be my starting point. I really appreciate their love for climbing, but at 80 I don't think I'll start.
Well, you could certainly try, and just get on the V0s for a bit of fun? 😁
Great video
I'm just about to get into climbing. One, because I'd lke to climb, but secondly, it seems like most of the people who climb are generally happier people in life (from what I've seen and heard anyway).
That's a great point!
Have you been to the red goat in York?
What are the finger holds called that are little divots in the rock barely big enough to fit a thumb that you can use to grip and lift yourself on call??? That to me is impossible
Is that a Lenny Pepperbottom "Neature Walk" reference at 5:38? 😂 "Oh wow look, an aspen! You can tell that it's an aspen by the way it is!"
You got it!!
ok, so i'm a bigger guy. about 330 currently. but thankfully not all fat. at my skinniest i was about 260 and pretty much solid muscle (I was in the army in iraq at the time) i'm also 6'3" if i got back down to a manageable weight, would it be feasible for me to start rock climbing? i've always been really interested in it and have climbed rock bluffs and things when on the coast. i'm sure that's much easier than a rock wall, but i've always had in interest in climbing.
I think so, definitely. I’ve seen some guys way less “fit” than me that can out climb me any day, so much about technique goes into climbing, not to mention grip strength and forearm endurance! Best bet is to go to a gym and just get on a wall ✌️
i’m a year late, but thank you for your service
Hey, how frequently do you recommend climbing indoors per week for essentially a beginner? I would go everyday if I could because I absolutely love it, but I try to do intervals of one day climbing, one day rest. What are your thoughts?
Some Body when I started I could only climb twice a week. Now that my body is used to it I can climb about 3 or 4 days in a row before I have to take a rest. Those rest days are great for active recovery; stretching, resistance bands, rice buckets etc.
@@jdude9922 I like that idea of active recovery, thank you!
This is interesting to try normally how much I need to pay for the training?
Just go to the gym, make friends!
Amazing, thanks for all the terminology! We just started climbing a couple weeks ago and posted some of our v1 and v2 climbs! would be amazing if you could give us feedback on ours!!! :D
@5:35 Thats pretty neat!
Not even paying attention to the they guy explaining, im just listening to the fire tunes playing in th background lol
It was bumpin'
Get me to this gym with Slug in the background
Is that an artist?
Thought the same thing🔥 s/o whoever has this playlist!
heloo, can i use your video on my TV Program channel? i am a one of the creative team at KUY! GTV
and of course your channel youtube's name will published too
i'm waiting for your feedback, thank you..
Found out there is a huge gym in the area we moved to. Going today and I really hope they welcome new comers but 99.9% of the time people in niche hobbies are terrible with new people.
Why the loud music ?
What kind of gym sets an all points dyno on a V1?
They change 25% of their routes every month, I think they get bored and try to come up with something creative 🤷🏻♂️
When you go outdoors how do you place the bolts? Are they already placed? Who places them? How do you know they’re safe? How many newbie question can I fit into one comment?
The bolts will already be there if it's a known route in an area known for climbing. How do you know you can trust them? You don't! But you can usually look at a bolt and make a decision if you want to trust it. Routes that are frequently climbed will usually have bolts in good conditions, as they're looked at/assessed by experience climbers very frequently.
Bottom Line Up Front awesome. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it!
Me before the video: time to learn how to climb so I don’t look like a dork among veteran rock climbers
Me during the video: dang, that jerky looks delicious
Me after the video: WHERE DO I FIND A HOGEY THAT BIG!?!
Please comment below if you know a good sandwich place
I think I’d enjoy doing some gym climbing. Sadly tho I think I may be a little to big for it
Dont give up! I'm just getting into it and I'm 5'5, 82kg. Just practice and focus on achieving your goals.
where’s a good place to learn the knots recommended for climbing ?
I think a climbing instructor is the best bet
5:30 “You can see that it’s a figure 8 by the way that it is”
tHaT’s PrEtTy NeAt!
WAS THAT A NEATURE WALK REFERENCE?!?!?! "you can see that its a figure 8 by the way that it is"
I did see the movie Free Solo and I have a question. I did expect to see
anchor bolts on the way. you need anchor bolts (to lock you anchor pins) for
practise. Why were there no anchor bolts on this route? Do you know?
Robert Zwier they use trad gear( If you liked the movie watch valley uprising next)
The anchor bolts are used for lead climbing. It is where you clip yourself on as you climb up.
They were top rope climbing, where there is just one pulley at the top that the rope wraps through
I hear Atmosphere in the background
dyno on a V1??
I'm so terrified of heights and I got invited to rock climbing still not sure it's a date hahaha besides the point I'm scared but I'm excited. I'll live though I keep telling myself hahaha. But I've literally cried in situations people would die laughing at me hahaha anyways wish me luck 🤣🤣😵😵😵😵🤔
Really hard to understand with the background music :(
I'd really love to start climbing but none of my friends are interested in doing it with me :/
Just head to a gym, you’ll make friends there!
@@BottomLineUpFront true, might start after quarantine. Just gotta balance it with swimming
im subscriber 400
Aw shucks, thanks for subscribing! Stick around - some pretty big stuff coming to the channel. we'll be making an announcement about it in a few weeks :)
Don't forget a helmet when you climb outside! Def don't want to knock out your belayer with a loose rock, or worse, your cellphone!😳
How can she climb with those nails
Years of practice? 🤷🏻♂️
im trying to focus and understand what you are saying but the music blasting in the background doesnt help
We know, we wish it wasn't so loud!
You only mentioned top rope and bouldering when there is also lead climbing and free solo climbing and free base climbing though free base is not recommended.
Correct, we thought those types of climbing weren’t really “beginner”
You were pinching the 'crimper'
you have to do it or they won't letchyu do it
Exactly.
I'm a rock fisherman, I use a G string as a harness, gumboots for climbing, and luers for bait. So there, LOL, ok? Just LOL don't flame me plith.
👍
👌
Alright so it doesn't cost that much to get started? I think I've just gotta find a way to afford the gyms so that I can also still do a couple other hobbies too...I need this in my life man...
We will admit that the gyms have gotten a little pricey -- I think that can be attributed to climbing becoming more and more popular.
They are mot that accurate but it is a little helpful for beginners
Background music way too loud!
Let me go turn it down real quick
"here's tips for beginners. The most important... *rap music blasting*
Yeeaaaa we know...
