I would call myself an intermediate climber, 5.11d and V5. this is my favorite channel for tips and instructions. really clear and succinct and I am able to apply all the advice. thanks
That last point about the toe was a good one! It’s something I do subconsciously on difficult overhang climbs, but now I’m gonna make an effort to do it with every climb
Thanks buddy! Also, that is a great idea! I found that only two or three months of active practice, pulling with my toes on easy and moderate warm-up climbs (that I would have mindlessly lapped before) led to the skill becoming automatic. It helped me jump at least one full V-grade at my onsight level. Good luck 👍 - Dave
Thanks Miguel! I'm really liking your latest videos, so it's fantastic to see you in the comments section here. If I ever travel to Vegas, I'd love to climb with you at your local gym.
Dude, i just came back from the gym and was having trouble with an almost upside down overhang route. I watched this video cause of it. Now I'm hype up to try this out on my next trip there.
Thank you for the video. Overhangs have been something I have avoided for the year I have been climbing, but I have recently started wanting to give them a go. I shall try out these tips when I hit the gym next, this weekend. :-) Cheers from New Zealand!
Georgie, good luck! I've had to dig in and work on areas of weakness many times in my career. Thankfully I have noticed that a little bit of practice can go a long way. I hope the tips help 🙂
That's a fantastic idea. Wherever you choose to train, the key in my mind is to develop the habit of always pulling your hips in with your toes at the end of the movement. At first it will feel awkward, as all new skills do, but over time you'll be doing it automatically without having to think. Then people will marvel at your "display of power" and ask "how long have you been climbing?! 😯" Good luck Kenneth - Dave
Theres this awesome steep overhanging 11a(fairly accurate grade id say) at my gym and I am getting super burnt hauling up and out of the roof, i tried to get some toes in, but also felt like I was spending too much time finding feet. Im looking forward to going back and trying these techniques.
@@LucasdaMatta It should have just went public ("Slab Climbing Technique Master Class"). I think adding the music went well. Let me know what you think.
If you have been "just climbing" but not using these techniques, then you are guaranteed to see improvement once you start. I'm sure these will help. Take care friend, and please let me know about your progress. Cheers! - Dave
That's an interesting observation you have. Personally, I find the tip works well on any angle, since it allows me to a) keep my hip close to the wall and b) change the angle of pull on the hold to provide slightly better grip. It seems as though you might have a different experience. Can you elaborate and share more about your experience with this movement? - Thanks, Dave.
@@climbhangout I'm not saying it doesn't work at all on overhangs, but it's harder and less effective, and it's actually easier to just point your toe and pull your hips upward. When in your video you're demonstrating it on a slab.

Thanks Nick! I'm really happy that you gave me some context around your climbing ability. That will help me know who my tips are helping.

Love how succinct you are with your instruction! Even advanced climbers forget some of these essential tips.

I've been trying to train on spray wall to get better technique out, and now, I think tip number 3 is going to be the thing I try to practice.

Excellent tips. Well done.
Thanks Paul. I really appreciate the comment. Hopefully we can make more helpful tips like this in the future.
your tips are awesome and you earned my subscription. suggestion: have low key background music playing behind your voice.
Thanks Lucas! I'll test out that idea in my next video that I'm editing (right now actually)
@@climbhangout great! will be waiting

This video was a huge tipping point for the channel. It was great to go back and watch it again so many months later.

You remind me a bit of Bob Ross teaching bouldering
brillant
Thanks 😊
100 SUBSCRIBERS OMG WOW!!!!!
That was our reaction too. Now we can get really serious and make even better videos!
@@climbhangout ok ill help!!! I want to hit 10 subs aswell but it will be hard
@@Purrza Keep plugging away, buddy! If you keep making good videos you'll definitely get past 10 subs
@@Purrza I checked out your channel. Keep making videos - I like them.
Thanks for checking out my channel if i ever have merch you can have 10% off any merch you want!!!
First tip is more relevant for vertical walls.
