    The best thing I learnt in this video is that the red thing he’s holding at the beginning is called Jake

      But i got confused at the end, it looks like the white wing was jake at the end when the camera man said it. Sooo weird

    Really happy to hear about some easy informational stuff as opposed to just mental climbs. As fun as it is watching really hard and technical routes, there's definitely a lack of resources for people who aren't veterans yet. Thanks, and keep it up!

      @WungusBill tbh I learn faster by listening, watching, and reading 😅

    • @club6525
      @club6525 3 года назад +4

      @WungusBill tbh that’s how I learn physical skills. I just watched a few videos and asked my friend about it and then I managed to do V8 with near perfect technique. Got to the top but my friend had to help me down but I remembered I was a bit scared of heights. I even learned how to bike by just listening to my parents explain it and watching them do it. You don’t develop strong connective tissue but you can learn technique and control.

    • @woolypuffin392
      @woolypuffin392 2 года назад

      Agree. Our Boldering hall has like 10 easy paths and for someone who never bouldered and has a fear of heights, those were already challenging for me.

    • @schecter5035
      @schecter5035 Год назад +2

      @PogChamp! Wdym like couldnt do literally anything? I think anybody regardless of age with a decent level of fitness and strength will have a really great first climbing session and excell even more after going a few times. I know for a fact i enetered climbing 1 month ago at 16 year of age and came to it natually, i think the fact i had been going to the gym for 8 months helped, and my ability to lift my own bodyweight. However climbing longer 11-15m routes in the gym near me has encouraged and made me realise improving my endurance is super necessary.I am doing cardio often ish now to achieve that and tbf i can see why my endurance on the walls is pretty bad.

    This was super helpful as someone who has been climbing for about 6 weeks. I’d figured out what slopers, jugs, and crimps were more or less, but the tips on how to position hands/fingers are enlightening. Now I just have to actually put it into practice 😅

    I went to a climbing gym in Florida, and there was a whole wall of these driftwood style holes, and it was great. I love having a lot of scraggly stuff to hold onto. Despise crimps, rarely use them as anything other than footholds. Best with speed climbing.

    @hardrocklobsterroll395 5 лет назад +1

    Thanks for the video. Just an FYI, that mic fart you had is likely a cellphone. If you get an email and the wireless radio in your phone turns on near the microphone, the electrical noise from your phone creates a higher noise floor on the microphone resulting in louder static

    Quite a late comment but one useful thing I learnt recently (and way too late) is that 2 finger pockets you should do like jake and use middle 2 fingers not first 2 - the first 2 are on the same tendon whereas the second 2 split the load between tendons letting you climb safer

    Id love to get into climbing. Ive bouldered on vacations, but where I live there are no natural rock formations worth climbing. Sadly there are also no indoor climbing gyms. One was about to open up but their crowdfunding failed so they're trying to get sponsored by local businesses before they put it up again. They bought the land and they have the money for the building it's just the infrastructure inside that they still can't afford.

  • @TuringMachine001
    @TuringMachine001 3 года назад

    Jugs: easiest holds with a really positive edge
    Slopers: usually large holds with a rough surface and no positive edge. Create friction with the whole palm of the hand, stay low
    Pinches: holds that have positive edges on opposing sides. Pinch using thumb on one side and fingers on the other side.
    Crimps: small, thin and irregularly shaped. Use full crimp, with thumbs on top of the fingers, or half crimp, with thumb loose. The full crimp is generally more dangerous.
    Pebbles: tiny crimps where you can't use all your fingers.
    Pockets: have a whole in the middle
    Slots: like pockets, but require more accuracy

  • @MMBNMalternateaccoun
    @MMBNMalternateaccoun 5 лет назад

    This is kind of neat. I've been watching alot of rock climbing videos lately and have been thinking about getting into it, my only issue is my weight. I have some good strength and grip for my weight but not enough to support my body because I don't grip a lot of tings during my work day. I'm 275lbs :/ 5'10" tall. I can deadlift 335 without straps but that doesn't translate into grip strength at all. It'd be cool to get into this on a beginner level and see how I do. But I think I might be to fat. I don't even really eat that much :( like once or twice a day usually less than like 1500 calories

  • @arviscannon4815
