----------------------
When you’re learning how to climb, you get a lot of suggestions on what techniques to use on certain parts of a route. While having specific beta for a specific climb is useful, the implementation is often narrow. Climbing is better sensed through broader strokes of movement patterns, common techniques that you can use most of the time.
The Pareto Principle states that roughly 80% of outputs come from 20% of inputs. In this video, I’ll go over the “vital few” 20% of techniques that account for 80% of the moves you do in climbing. These will be split into 5 basic principles.

I have never heard those ideas expressed so clearly and well structured. This is not just a good climbing lesson, but also a lesson in teaching done really well. Impressive!
1: Opposite hand and foot 1:12
2: Counterpressure 2:55
3: The 90 degree rule 4:14
4: C.O.G. inside B.O.S. 5:40
5: Move away to move toward 7:13
This guy really explains the physics of climbing well.
Love the methodical approach you're taking. Definitely helping me think more deeply about beta. Climbing is still a young sport, this is definitely the right direction for the instruction/"theory" of climbing to take.
Chill music, chill voice, solid script - way to go, man! Thanks for doing this!
My favourite thing about your videos is how well you articulate what you’re doing. Thank you for explaining it so patiently
The 5 principles:
- Opposite hand & foot (when reaching for a hold with one hand support yourself with the same-side foot and the opposite hand, imagine a diagonal line going through your center of gravity)
- Counterpressure (Push + pull)
- 90° rule (always apply pressure at a 90° angle to the hold edge)
- COG inside BOS (Center Of Gravity always inside our Base Of Support)
- Move away to move towards (use your body like spring, create tension until deadpoint and then jump to the next hold)
I work in sales, so I was so stoked to hear you mention the 80 20 rule. I can't believe I hadn't applied it to climbing yet. Also, I can totally picture myself using the five points as a checklist to help me figure out what's going wrong on future climbs. Thanks again for another wonderful video.
This is easily in the top 1% of climbing videos people need to see, and not only for climbing; every one of these principles applies to many moves that I teach in parkour (vaulting, bar-moves, and dynamic wall moves). I see similar connections for dance and martial arts too... These could more broadly used to describe principles of most movement arts...
As a starting climber that has a decent physique, but *very* bad balance and spatial awareness, this video has been a real blessing!
The explanations are super clear, but the graphics that are showing with the slow and clear examples make it so much more intuitive. Thanks a bunch for your effort, I'll be taking this to the gym today! :)
Gonna be forwarding this vid to so many new climbers, perfectly encapsulates everything about learning how to climb
Solid video here for beginners. I feel like I really did get better when each of these techniques became more natural for me. Though I honestly noticed some points of these techniques which I could still learn to do better from the video too. Thanks for the thoughtfully constructed content!
This popped up in my recommended within seconds
that Anchor Man easter egg line cracked me up! Great video!
This is by far the highest yield video of climbing advice I have watched so far
Been sharing a ton of your videos with my climbing team. Keep making these, they're great
This is so well done. I'm recommending this to all my friends who I'm trying to get to start climbing. Thank you!
Did you stick with climbing? 💪
Your explanation is the BEST. I just started bouldering and I really want to ensure I understand the principles so I'm more comfortable. This was much needed. You're brilliant
I've been climbing long enough to know this stuff now, but I still congratulate you on producing such a smooth video for the basics. Very well done.
This is a great video, a couple of my friends recently got into climbing and watching this really makes me feel able to give advice to them with logic and motivation behind it rather than "do this because it works and eventually you can get a feel for where it will work"
I always love how you articulate the instruction and theory behind climbing skills. Thank you for your amazing videos!
I like the subtle Anchorman reference at the end 😊
Absolutely love these videos! Production value is high and the information is very well divided and digestible. I also found the music to voice volume ratio was better compared the other few videos i watched. The music was not as distracting. Please keep these coming!
This was awesome! I've been climbing for 6 months and I watch A LOT of technique videos. This REALLY helped me have more understanding. Now I just have to get my body to follow along!
Just started climbing/bouldering, your explanation makes a lot of sense! Thanks!
I’m getting into climbing and this is a very informative video on some things I should keep in mind, thanks for making it !
This is definitely the best video out there for explaining climbing movement. I have bouldered 8a and definitely cannot explain these concepts nearly as well.
Strong! Hoping to achieve the 8a boulder benchmark at some point.
These videos have helped me so much with my climbing, thankyou
Really love these videos! You phrase everything so well. Thanks for the tips!
Best climbing channel by far! Helped me a ton! My first month climbing
Well done. Thank you for delivering such a quality educational video on this.
Great video! Love the mention of 80/20, very applicable.
Very well explained! Such a good and professional video
Thanks mate that was awesome insight...i sort of understood the basics but the way you explained it really helped and made more sense.
Thanks heaps from🇦🇺🦘🙌
Simple and clear. Subscribed!
Fantastic. Nice to have confirmation that what you’re doing instinctive is not wrong, moreover it can be remembered better and actually practised. Hope that makes sense? I enjoyed this vid. Thanks.
These tips are absolutely amazing. Going climbing tomorrow so I'm excited to try out these ideas! :D
Ahh the 90 degree rule - I knew the movement but not the principle behind it. Thanks so much for this vid!
Excellent teaching! Very very well done!
By far the most helpful climbing technique videos. Good shit!
Enjoyable and informative content. Nice job + great video
Excellent introduction to climbing! Bravo!
Very concept of climbing explained in the most concise way..
Best lesson on principles of climbing.
Awesome video!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!👌😎🔥
Thank you so much for this valuable content.
Real good stuff bro keep it up!
sweet video man, thanks keep it up!
About to start climbing in a week or so equipped with this, thanks!
The climbers of you tube need more of your content, algorithm bump.
Excellent video 👌🏻
Really liked the Yogi Berra reference at the end...Great video
Great video!
Hey 👋 Very good approach of these fundamental principles, thanks!
thank you so much for the video!🎉
Soo good video man, as always ;)
another amazing video
Love that traverse route at nut tree
ghe Phúc hát mà nước mắt rơi mãi ....quá nhiều cảm xúc ùa về, quá nhiều kỉ niệm. Cảm ơn Đức Phúc thật nhiều, giọng hát anh ấm tựa nắng mùa Thu vậy.
I'm so short that dead pointing is pretty much a standard in climbing for me, thanks for all the advice!
Thank you very much .
I’ve learned so much of what I know about climbing from you 🙏 Just climbed my first v4 today! 🤙
Congrats on the V4! That's a really good milestone. First of many :-)
awesome content ! congratulation
These tips helped me be a better climber (from v2 projecting v3, to v6 projecting v7 and v8s)
bringing the Pareto principle was not necessary... but I'm glad you did, great video man!
Keep it up king
Thanks!
Wow, as a new climber, the one I picked up instantly was the move away to move toward. I call it the lioness pounce
great analogy
thank you!
Thank you
best explained!
Great video! This summarizes neatly a lot of things that sometimes take ages to learn by trial and error.
A small nitpick. You described the center of gravity as being located between the hips. To my knowledge men, who typically carry more of their body mass in the shoulders and arms then women, often have a center of gravity that is several inches higher then the hips. As demonstrated amusingly by all these challenges that go around where women do things, and when men try and copy them they fall on their face, given the different center of gravity.
Mostly irrelevant to the content of the video though. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Center of gravity are always changing when you move. if you rise your leg your CoG shift to that leg side. its center of mass which always stay the same spot which you mention above. same nitpick here :D
Great vid. Can you do a vid on how to down climb and how to traverse? Thanks :)
I love your content, very informative and easy to digest. Do you ever train with weights?
Thanks! I used to primarily lift weights until around 2013. Then switched to gymnastics rings and body weight training for the upper body, and kept the weight lifting regimen for legs. Skipped a bunch of legs days during last year though
Thank you :)
thanks
Had a climbing taster yesterday and didn’t know about any of these which might explain why I was so bad, still really fun though!
I assume you write a script for these videos, do you post this anywhere as it might be helpful to go back to?
10/10 video btw :)
You sure heart a lot of comments XD
awesome video
1. You had me as a subscriber when you begin to incorporate economics with climbing.
2. Can you do a video on how to grow your hair out like that?
Very helpful Thank you. KISS: keep it simple stupid, my motto. With some hand and foot placements etc this goes a long way. Thanks
First one. Thanks for the new vid!
I got the same lime green Metolius Climbing pad 👍
Opposite hand and foot is confusing to me, it is actually push left foot, reach with left hand (so its same foot same hand) but counter balancing that through holding a hold with the right hand. The sequence with two hands on holds is starting with the right foot for example should be:
push right foot,
reach right hand,
left hand stays on hold,
place left foot,
then push left foot,
reach with left hand,
right hand stays on hold,
place right foot
push out of right foot
and so on -
right?
1 minute in and I already fck with this guy
Those boulders look great, is that Nut Tree?
battle of the bay shirt yeaaaaa
Oh hey, I know those boulders.. Oh, and that climber! haha I had no idea you had a channel, awesome! :)
just curious, where are these big boulders you are traversing around ?
That’s the Vacaville boulders isn’t it?
Yup!
Thanks from 🇦🇺
great
Great video, thanks! Where is the big old boulder you’re traversing for most of this video?
Nut tree boulders in vacaville
Is this the boulders in Vacaville??
Are some of these clips from the Nut Tree Boulders?
yoooo shout out to all the nut tree climbers
Good
Is this Vacaville boulders??
Nice sar
