The video thumbnail initially made it look like you were climbing the ladder tucked behind the climb which for me was perfect. New climbers often leave weight on the back leg as they move up, asking the question ‘is that how you climb a stair or a ladder’ quickly illustrates the idea behind the rock over. Really love this small - and hopefully - growing channel!
Thx, nice video. I am climbing for several years now, but never really had such a clear structured explanation of the rockover. This should really help me 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching, we appreciate it. Our goal with these vids and our coaching/plans is to deliver a more in-depth approach.
Great video! I climb V6-V7 and I still use my arms a lot, but I try not to. I do use dynamic movements, but usually big ones. I knew what a rockover was, but I did not realize how much easier a climb can be by using your hips like you demonstrated here. This is probably something many people think they do right, but fail to understand the concept behind a rockover and how important it is to use movement and technique instead of power. This also ties well into balancing on the wall, which of course, I struggle with more than anything. Thank you for making this video! Super interesting and well thought out :D
Completely agree. And we are guilty of not executing perfectly all of the time either. It’s too easy to become over-reliant on the arms. But this can add up, especially on routes. But the difficulty of the move may just throw you off on a boulder if not well-executed. We appreciate your comment, view and support! 👊
Great video! If only your channel and Hannah's had been around 30 years ago, I wouldn't have baked in so much lousy technique. BTW: I love the concept of the drill board too. My gym has a moon board and three spray boards but nothing vertical or slabby for practicing progressions on.
@@roapcoaching917 Did a coaching session this afternoon and it was all about straight arms, long neck, proud chest, hips close to the wall and hips initiate movement to the next hold. All the stuff I failed to learn to integrate 30 years ago. You can try to learn, say, straight arms but if you don't integrate that with the other bits, you won't progress.
Absolutely loving the content team. This is exactly what I was looking for, explicit instruction of how to do specific climbing moves. Keep it coming! Query, could you make your titles more specific? Titles like, 'Are you doing this or doing that?' doesn't help viewers know what's in the vid! Maybe mention the names of the techniques your teaching in your vid titles? E.g., 'Are you doing this or that in your rockovers?' Dunno, just an idea. Cheers : )
Thanks for the comment. I know! We agree, but the RUclips algorithms don’t support it unfortunately. We make sure that in the key words, you can search “rockover” and it comes up. The next few vids will be on movement drills! The most important one is next!!
@@roapcoaching917 , nice, you've clearly thought of it. Good luck rocketing up via the algorithm. Defs deserve more exposure for these great vids, can't wait for the next one : )
Brilliant content. I (39) climb with my wife(40) and two sons (15&13) we bounce around The Spot Gyms in Colorado several days a week and would love to collab anytime you can benefit from showing the beginner v2/3 (wife) to intermediate range (v4/5/6) in your episodes. Feel welcome to reach out any time 👋
Ahhh, we do the same!!! Yes, we want to do a full analysis session with breakdowns at these grades as well as advanced and elite, so we may be in touch
It's still magical how people are able to talk while they are in the wall. I started to rewatch the technical videos since my perspective changed and i can relate way more then a year ago. Big thank you to Alex and Robin :)
So I watched this last week, and thought it was good but felt like I already knew most of it. Then I did a couple of climbing sessions - now I think this is one of the most helpful videos I've seen. It's so useful to be confident in these fundamental movements! Even just having a clear idea of where it's best to smear with my other foot when rocking over has made a material difference in my climbing If you keep making videos like this that dig deep into fundamental movements, I will watch all of them haha
Ahh, thank you. It’s so common for us all to think we have strong fundamental comprehension and then when reviewing why we fall off harder climbs (subjectively) it typically comes down to the fundamentals again! Lol Absolutely, this Sunday we should be releasing THE most important movement drill there is! Psyched. Thanks for watching
@@roapcoaching917 thanks for your answer. Strangely cannot find it unfortunately . I tried homewall & original, cleared out all filters. Also put it at 40 degrees. Maybe it is my gym (Thalkirchen München)? Would love to practice these awesome moves! :D

I've just watched this a second time since I'd forgotten many of the details. Really helpful, thanks!
Love that, thanks for the support. Glad it can be a permanent reference point for you! 🙏
Thank you for this video :) I'm doing my foundation coach assessment on rock overs soon and this video was very helpful! Keep it up
Thx, nice video.

Thank you so much for the kind words and thanks for watching! Looking forward to sharing more soon
Thanks for the great video. Most in depth tutorials in my opinion, not just 'learn to place a heel' but really goes into the nuance of movement.

Great video, good reminder taht not everything needs to be done super static
True that! Of course there are balances rockovers that need things slowed down, but fundamentals are important. Thanks for watching!

Gonna try this tomorrow, thx
You’re welcome! How did it go? Thanks for watching
Thanks again for this interessting, informative & helpful video with good training tips! 🤗
Of course, thanks for your support!
Thank you for the video! Very informative
Awesome, glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching
This is gold ! 👌✨
Thanks a lot for this video 🙏
Of course! Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
Great quality video as always
Thank you so much!!

Haha, still have time!!! I’m sure you could share some of that knowledge too! Yes!!! Get a slab board in there too! Thanks for watching!

It is extra worth learning efficient movement in my 60s, because climbing into my 70s isn't going to be a thing without it.
Absolutely
This is great 💯
Thank you so much!

Thanks guys for hosting us!!! Psyched to be back Weds!

When his ankles crack when he drops down:
Hahaha!
This is a great video👍🏽👍🏽 Exactly the manuever I'm having trouble with.🤙🏽
Ahh, glad we were there to help! Thanks for watching and let us know how you get on!
A closer viewpoint would have been nice, especially for the Kilter board where you can't actually see the route. Still, I appreciate the content 🙏
Yeah, I’d have loved to add this as well for pivoting etc. Unfortunately I was a one-man band that day. But thanks for the feedback and watching
now I realise why I had to go max effort to stand up on a high foot on a slab yesterday, totally left my hips behind 🙃
Ahhh Nathan!! Psyched to see you back to your fighting shape in Dec. how’s the finger?
@@roapcoaching917 I no longer believe in the crimp or drag, my new grip is the claw 😎
Hahaha
Very well explained. Thank you!
You’re more than welcome, thanks for watching!
awesome video!
@roapcoaching I cannot find the route on kilter. how exactly can I find it?
Thanks for watching!! It’s called ROAP ROCKOVER
@@roapcoaching917 thanks for your answer. Strangely cannot find it unfortunately . I tried homewall & original, cleared out all filters. Also put it at 40 degrees. Maybe it is my gym (Thalkirchen München)?
Would love to practice these awesome moves! :D
Will speak to Kilter and as. Are you on a 12x12?
My local gym has a homewall and original wall :)
I am not sure if that is 12x12
DAV Thalkirchen in Munich
Makes sense. Not available on the home wall
1:58 are ur ankles okay?😅
3:47
6:06
8:15
8:48
10:10
10:42
I am very sorry for ur ears
Hahaha! Referring to the crack?! I think it was the mic on my shirt
Yeah, lol, just the mic!!
