Corrections corner: 1) I realise I didn’t actually cover WHAT my injury was in the update! It’s a TFCC injury in my wrist, and it’s not been playing the recovery game very well. Hopefully I’ll be able to start climbing again soon though! 2) on proof watch, we’re fairly sure our disclosure of Maddie being a whole foot shorter than Nathan is wrong - Maddie is a little taller than me (Hannah), but it’s still a significant difference 😂
Wish you a fast recovery Hannah! Two months ago sadly I experienced TFCC in it's finest too, and still recovering but it does take a long time. Would be beneficial for us to share your journey so can others learn and potentially recover faster. It is a frightening injury that impacts you even with normal daily activities. p.s. I guessed it is TFCC just based on your wrist marks from the strap hah
@@danielsimeonov9319 haha yep! I’ve been LOVING that little widget! I’ve definitely read some horror stories about recovery time, but I’m hopeful that I can come back stronger and make some interesting / helpful content in the meantime, and around injury! Hope you’re back to full strength in your wrist. 🙌
I also have an (unfortunately) recurring TFCC injury. It’s only anecdotal but personally I previously wasn’t eating enough (in a caloric surplus) to recover well. If it’s not something you’ve considered I thought it might be useful to know!
I appreciate that the video highlights inspiration and admiration for what different climbers can achieve, rather than focusing on the unfairness of being tall or short in various bouldering problems. More people should think this way and instead try to learn from and be inspired by one another. Super nice feeling from this video, thanks ❤
Really glad you liked it. Height difference is definitely something that’s easy to focus on as a hold back, but often it can be our superpower if we know how to apply the strength’s it also gives us! 🫶
As someone currently recovering from a climbing injury, I really appreciate your insight on recovery and learning from each injury. Definitely something I’ve been realizing as well!
Sorry to hear you’re injured. Injuries are really frustrating but even more so if they don’t have a positive impact when all is said and done! Hope you heal up quickly and are back to climbing soon! 😊🙌
Yes please, as someone that has a chronic illness that makes me prone to injury it’s really challenging to balance the limits of what I can do and what I can improve through rehabilitation
I always thought intermediate was 6A-7A, advanced 7A+-8A+ & anything above that is elite? On that scale V9/7C would definitely be advanced. Happy to be corrected if wrong though
well this was an excellent video. I took many mental notes and am excited to apply them in my next session. thanks a bunch for creating this mini-course. and I am cheering for your recovery, Hannah. i still remember that video where you struggled with and conquered your fear on that scary museum wall. so inspirational. you go, Hannah!
Really glad to hear it, thanks for your lovely comment. Zach was a great teacher and had loads of great insights and tips. Awww, that was a stand out video for me! Really nice to hear you remember that moment from it, and hope the tips help in your next session 🙌
Fascinating video - great job everyone! This is really useful for me because I'm a T-Rex - I'm on the tall side of average (5'7"), but i have a short torso, very long/big legs and a more or less neutral ape index which often feels negative because my legs are so much longer than my arms. I often find that neither 'tall beta' nor 'short beta' work well for me exclusively, but I got insights from watching both Maddie and Nathan climb. The advice about footwork on slabs actually really helps me with the pretty unique old skool boulder wall we have at my gym (the Wave, at Sheffield's Foundry) - although a lot of it is overhung, the top section is more slabby/vertical, and you have to match on the lip of the wall rather than the top holds, which is something i get very anxious about and feels pretty sketchy at times. There are plenty of small features to use for feet, though, and you've reminded me about how transferable slab skills can be! Sorry about the injuries, Hannah 😢 - as someone with various chronic conditions and a physical disability I'm very prone to injury. Sending solidarity, empathy and healing vibes! 🙌 Would definitely appreciate a longer vid with a focus on injury. 👍
I'd love a video on injury and injury recovery. I'm not currently injured, but previous recurring injuries have definitely impacted my climbing in the sense that I'm avoiding certain moves that rely on 'weak points' in my body that I've previously injured, because I'm scared. Injury is both physical and mental and recovery of both of those is tough, especially taking the necessary time and care to do it properly.
Hey I just started bouldering today and saw your video for the first time today too. I see that Zach got a shirt from the bouldering center I went today!
Hello Hannah. I'm sorry about your injury. I have never had to go through an injury like this myself, but I do treat patients with such injuries. Keep at it. You can do it.
Thank you! I’m hopeful that it heals up well and I can be back climbing soon. Injuries are always frustrating, but part of climbing! Thanks for watching 😅
17:01 Maddie's left knee is facing outwards (towards her left) whereas Nathan's knee is facing inwards (towards his right), which may also be a reason why Nathan finds the undercling move much harder, and why he would want to keep it straight arm instead of a lock-off like Maddie.
As others have already said, the side by side comparisons were well done and made the already great information that much more helpful. Thank you! I noticed Nathan wearing Drone CS this video in comparison to the Shark 3 a couple videos back. I know you also have used both. What are both of your takes on those shoes? I'm a taller and heavier climber trying to decide between those two shoes specifically.
Hey guys, big fan of your channel! I'm new to climbing and I'm trying to figure out all the different grading systems. What kind of grading do you use for your blocks? Thanks a lot!
I thought maybe it was me who had not noticed your videos, but it's important that you work out the best way to recover safely and learn from it, otherwise it may happen again. Even though I've seen you and Nathan climb in person and consider you both very capable compared to me, this video really explains the finer points of technique. I hope to seek out some more tuition.
From one injured wrist climber to another, I hope your recovery goes well! (I still don't know what it is after seeing a physio and a therapist... It clicks and "extreme" position hurts. Much sad)
I'm actually in the process of coming off from a finger injury as well. I want to push myself faster than I should be and would like to hear your journey through it.
this video honestly demonstrates the reason i think proffesional sports need to be divided by the scientific factor that actually MATTERS to that sport if they are going to be divided at all. Short men and women will have more in common for climbing to each other than a short man to a tall man, or a short woman to a tall woman.
Climbing off the back of injury would be great. I've only been climbing a year and had a lot of injuries where the doctor tells me to not even go to work. Getting back into climbing at my level after that is always so hard. I'm not quite back where I was (but close) and my last injury was months ago now. I assume for me it's just my body needing to learn climbing as I am still a beginner, so it all comes back naturally afterwards.
Hannah in response to your injury speech, Iyengar yoga is excellent for building body awareness and works extremely well with climbing, unfortunately a lot of climbers practice vinyasa or something similar which translates no where near as well. it takes 6 years minimum to become a level 1 iyengar teacher, if your serious about improving body awareness, strength flexibility recovery and in turn climbing find your self an Iyengar class ❤❤.
@@hannahmorrisbouldering I'm sure they will be helpful at the least :) Something that came up for me that would be a good topic: I started climbing 4 months ago. A very experienced friend of mine warned me that I shouldn't do hang-boarding until at least 6 months in because I could tear the tendons in my fingers if I did. Muscles strengthen faster than tendons. Hang-boarding aside, I've found that being too aggressive too quickly can present problems. So far, I have had a tendon issue to a finger and am currently recovering from tendon issues in both my elbows. My muscles simply can do more than the connective tissue can at this stage in things, even with proper warm-ups. Also, having a PT on the channel would be great for these videos. Thank you and your crew for everything yall do.Hope your injury gets better quickly.

Our pleasure! It was great to spend some time with you when you were in London 🙌
More v5 content please!

What a crossover. The Richardson climbing channel has become a go-to for climbing content, excited to see them on this channel.
They make great videos. Super informative!
Yes please, as someone that has a chronic illness that makes me prone to injury it’s really challenging to balance the limits of what I can do and what I can improve through rehabilitation
Very interesting video. I like the split screen comparing the differences in position.
Hannah,I hope your wrist is better soon.
I hope so too! Glad to hear you enjoyed the comparison - Zach was ace at explaining the differences!
Aww, I looked forward to this collaboration! My favourite climbing couples climb together; Zach is so good at explaining.
Zach teaching was great but whoever edited this one did a fantastic job!
zach and maddie are my fav youtubers basically. yall should give them a follow :)
Awesome collab! Great climbing by Maddie and Nathan, with awesome analysis by Zach!
I was gonna say, I wouldn't call V9 intermediate 😅 Maybe V9 in a really soft gym in US might be, but a lot gyms barely go up to V9 where I live
Definitely on the upper end of intermediate (if intermediate describes not beginner, but not pro) - maybe ‘advanced’ would be a fairer fit!
@@hannahmorrisbouldering I guess it all depends on how many categories you would be using 😅
I always thought intermediate was 6A-7A, advanced 7A+-8A+ & anything above that is elite? On that scale V9/7C would definitely be advanced. Happy to be corrected if wrong though

Thank you! I’ve started planning one out. I think it’s something so many people deal with during their climbing time, so I hope it’s helpful! ☺️

i have missed your videos so much!
Really hoping to be back properly soon, with more climbing, and trying hard to reach some goals 🎉
Nathan: I have the same exact feeling as a tall climber about long levers and barn doors being more dangerous for us!
great video Hannah! Can I just say how good parthian climbi8ng looks, great hold sets
It’s always a fun session! 🎉
Thanks Hannah, videos like this are really useful
Glad to hear it ☺️
12:30 Also this is one of those cases where being tall plays against you! Fitting in a smaller box sometimes requires a greater force.
Hey guys, big fan of your channel! I'm new to climbing and I'm trying to figure out all the different grading systems. What kind of grading do you use for your blocks? Thanks a lot!
Great bouldering content and very tasteful B roll.

Hope your fingers is healing well - fingers are tricky. So are wrists, I'm finding!

Yay!! 🔥🔥🔥
The Richardsons! Yay!😀😄😁
Yeaaaah! Stoked to see their channel growing! 🎉
I just realized Nathan actually looks like an older Toby Roberts. Uncanny!
Wait i saw that pink climb on magnus meatball video maybe another collab 😮
Very possibly yes! This was filmed in September ☺️
Good spot. It's in Will Tennyson's video with Magnus

Man, I wish my home gym was a 1/4 of this gym.
Definitely on the injury video, or videos.
We’ve started planning a few videos - hopefully they’re interesting!

How do UK grades compare to Montreal grades ?
We found that Montreal grades are a fair bit softer in the lower grades. Climbing V3/V4 here easily felt V5/V6 in Montreal!
Hope you heal up fast!
Thank you! Doing all the things to try and heal nicely so hopefully I’ll be back climbing in videos soon. 🙌
❤
at 10:06 this PINK??? boulder:) this is mauve or cyclamen. sorry for the offtopic kidding:)
You guys should hit brim rocks again
THOSE were the days
