I think you might be making the best videos on RUclips for climbing in terms of teaching technique.
This really means a lot to me. Andrew, comments like this makes me want to give more. Thank you!
I second that. Great job breaking down this slab. Slabs often feel "dumb" yet they're so incredibly difficult to execute properly.
Your side by side demonstrations are so critical! You really have a solid understanding of how people learn.
I love the point about patience and that success can come down to the slow release of one's fingertips. I can see that on slabs I need to be more mindful rather than rushing at it and expecting instant results. Thanks.
Loving the explanations. Helping a ton
Hey man your instructional videos are great. Keep 'em coming!
Oswaldo, you have a gift of clearly explaining the important nuances. Really enjoy your channel.
Thanks man, really appreciate you! =)
Great video, I love the arrows! They really help me understand this concept.
I love that kind of video, please do more !
Your vids get better and better. Very educational. Maybe you could have mentioned that it is important to put your right foot (on the volume) as far away from the wall as possible
Thanks man. Yeah, it is important to put your right foot as far away from the wall. Good call.
Why is this important? I'm having some balance issues with some similar problems, and trying to understand the nuances. I would have thought you'd want to keep more of your foot flatter on the wall, and I thought having it closer to the wall would keep your hips and center of gravity closer to the wall
@@tristanreid As far as I can see, since there is no hold to pull you closer to the wall the only way to get close to the wall is by pushing on your foot. This means you need some space towards the wall to let you balance inwards to wall, meaning that the further away from the wall the easier to push the body into to wall. If you put your foot at the top of the volume right next to the wall, you would have a very hard time not falling
TheLtGo thanks! That makes sense to me, I see what you mean. Would it ever make sense to try to turn your foot, so that toes point off the wall, and you can get more flat foot on the wall? Maybe before standing?
@@tristanreid usually it's better to stand as straight on the surface as possible, meaning that upwards is straight forward from your foot. You can see Os have it almost along the surface but turned slightly to allow more space for his knee to turn outside away from the wall. So yeah, turning to get hips close to the wall is good, but you might sacrifice some lift. Also, notice how his foot/heel turn as the upper body switches from right to left
Love the videos. Did you find your grip strength to be detrimental to your progress in the beginning? How long before you felt you grip strength improve to the point where you felt safe to "push it"?
im not sure how I came across this channel but I fucking love it
Thanks man!
great explanation and well shown in the video!
Thank you! =)
To be honest. You would never have a problem like this in the wild. But patience is key. And that’s what this can teach.
🤘🙏 🧗🏻♂️. Thanks Oz! I really like the side by side shots of right and wrong. Do you have a favorite type of hold to climb? Crimps, slopers, finger holes?
Oh man, good question. My favorite climbing holds so far are slopers and thats because it takes a lot more than just griping the hold or pulling. It's such a difficult hold that you have to examine the hold and try to find the perfect way to hold it and on top of that body position, angles and patience when moving... I really enjoy that challenge. Whats your favorite hold and why?
rockentry as a beginner I’m drawn to jugs but ones that require big shoulder-y moves or dynos. But as I progress, crimps are becoming more fun.
Can you do that purple v6 to the left of that problem. k thanks lol. I spent a long time and couldn't get it and really wanna see it go.
hahaha I'll do it for you derek. The mantle part is tricky but once you get beta I'm sure you could send it. Hope you and flo enjoyed LAB and definitely check out Cliffs Of ID too.
Great video. Thanks
Thank you!
Anyone have good beta for a shorter person? Seems like it would be hard to reach.
I love it
I checked USA Climbing rules and iFSC rules and it seems USA Climbing specifically states that any part of the climbing surface can be used unless boundaries are marked by the Master Routesetter. iFSC is not very clear about this except for starting holds where the climbing surface can be used to get in a position to control the starting holds. My gym told me to use hands on same-color holds only but feet can be used on same-color holds and climbing surface. It seems you're using your hands on the climbing surface here, so it appears my gym is using their own rules??? I'll ask them next time I go in.
I'm not used to comment videos. First of all, I like your overall work, it helped me improve my climbing techniques.
However, for the first time, I really felt like you were faking the failed attempts to emphasise the good body positioning. I didn't like it.
Anyway, keep the good work ✌
This means a lot that you took the time to comment this time and to give me feedback, Much appreciated!
My goal is to give as much information and visuals for you guys to understand why I do or use such technique/move. I use examples of my actual falls when I work a problem and I show examples of errors as well, yes. My goal is not to fake it but to share WHY I do things. This is just the best way I can teach and at the same time enjoy my climbing.
Thank you tho!
@@rockentry Thanks for the explanation, I didn't think about it from this perspective.
I think I'm more into your outdoor routes analysis. It feels somehow more authentic since your struggling is real :)
hahaha! oh god... yeah, huge difference from my outdoor climbs because the outdoor projects I work multiple sessions some climbs take months to years. Gives me a lot of footage to work with and share. Glad you're enjoying those.
But, Sometimes I climb lower grades indoors but I just do so to help my beginner viewers. Even tho I can flash them I want to share common mistakes too.
Thanks again my friend and hope you enjoy the rest of the content AND most importantly crush it on your project! Get at it!
@@rockentry Yeah I can imagine it requires a high involvement and in return it must be such a drill !
I started climbing 4 months ago, I'm really into it and I'm planning to go outdoor for the first time this summer in Fontainebleau to kick some rocks :)
Big up from France 💪
man with a voice of affected woman
Thanks for another great video. I ❤️ the green/red annotations and your breakdowns.
This is defo my favourite climbing channel on RUclips. Keep up the great work 💯
Thanks for letting me know what works when it comes to explaining the videos really helps me out when creating future content. Feedback always welcomed and helpful, more awesomeness videos coming soon! =)
The breakdown here was superb, thanks for another great vid. love the Rhye tune
I think that another important aspect that you should mention is your hips. The reason you want to move your left hand up and stand up tall because you're getting your hips so close into the wall htat you don't fall backwards, but that you want to fall forward into the wall. Because it's your hip placement that determines your center of gravity.
Nick Flores he's explained that in a ton of videos already. Plus if you're doing climbs as hard as this one, you should already know that.
Yes, Goal is to keep my hips closes to the wall when standing up tall so I wont fall backwards. Valuable point nick thanks for adding this!
Falling INTO the wall is a really good way to put it.
first
I love these kind of slabs. They're so meditative, and really nice for clearing my mind. I like to calm down on these when a different boulder starts to frustrate me
I call those "knee breakers" I avoid them as much as possible. I´m too old to fuck up my body for ego stuff. Give me a rope and put me 10 meters above ground that´s another thing, but bouldering is not for me. I don´t want to press my full bodyweight onto one foot and slip off. Noooo!
Love the detail about the fingers releasing one by one. Brill.
I'll be able to send it now! Thanks Mr. Rockentry! =)
Awesome, I believe in you tim! Looking forward to watch you send this one.
your videos are very helpful and informative but they also make my hands sweat like heck
Is there a reason why boulderers don't wear shorts?
i hit that like button
u got the best climbing vids!! i really wanna go now but i got 2 tests this week lol
das good beta
..pity this is just one type of slab... I'm having trouble with slabs for months.. those three routes I can't do don't have this kind of juggy holds at all, the problem is alway that I could reach this state of balance as you did in the video.. really hope you could show more. But, I'll keep trying on those problems and let you know if I eventually make though.
Eres un crack bro. Keep doing!
What is the rating on that route?
Really nice - I just watched this as prep for going to my local where they have 3 big slab walls I want to work today. Looking forward to applying what you taught!
Get on that slab my friend and CRUSH IT!!
Slick send man and nice vid. one thing that helped was having ur right foot further out on the start. The way the starting volume is sloped, the further out u had it, the flatter and easier to stand on.
Yes, Totally right moke, Thanks for pointing that out.
Great quality video again! Nice technique tips, releasing one finger at a time and moving hand and leg in unison.
Thank you Edwin!
this is one of your best! keep up the good work :)))
Thank you!
Can you post some videos for beginners who want to improve their technique?
binaryfallout I will for sure and if you have any particular technique/suggestions feel free to let me know and I’ll add it on my list :) thanks for watching.
rockentry anything beyond just keeping your hips close to the wall would be helpful! For example how to know when to flag, cross step, drop knee
Outta curiosity, how tall are you?
I'm 5'6"
Great video
Thank you!
really don‘t like the way he talks at the beginning of every video. (and at the end)..
I appreciate the feedback. It's a format I have it at and makes my process a lot faster and easier as these videos do take a lot of time/work to make. I know it's not for everyone and I understand. Thank you!
rockentry thats why i said it=)
but i think that most people like people to talk like that every now and then.. so it might fit to youtube.. i‘ll skip the begining from now on, the rest of the vidoes are really informative and i like watching them =) especially like the detailed beta analysis, helps me a lot with my climbing!
