You should put this into a "essentials guide for beginners" playlist - seriously, I spent ages looking for good videos on YT that explain rock climbing to an absolute beginner - they were all still too advanced even though they said it was for beginners. You have done a great service to mankind with these videos.

Agreed. Funny that he didn't know where the balls of your feet are, having been using them for years climbing lol. As a beginner some useful tips to remember.

i tried bouldering last May 2022, and fell on the second day broke + fractured my ankle in 3 places, 10 months later March 2023 i am back in the same gym with a plate and 6 screws, if i wasn't scared i would be lying, i had to ask a friend to go with me to get the courage to try again (get back up where you fell down), so..... long story short, this is very helpful, i will try and practice this tomorrow, thank you, thank you, i really appreciate your time and clear explanations, i hope i will be wiser this year.!!

I know that these types of videos are way below your skill level, but us noobs appreciate them. Been climbing/bouldering for a couple months now. While at the bouldering gym, I just can't seem to get a good footing and am constantly slipping, even on large volumes. I ask what the deal is and I get "keep your heel low," "use your toes and not the bridge," and "trust the footing;" all great tips, except the last one, because it's tough to "trust your footing" when you're constantly slipping. Edit: For example, at 3:28, what you're doing here, I would just slip right off, there's absolutely zero grip for me (I wear near new Mad Rock Drifters). Edit 2: I went out the next day and decided to focus solely on my footwork. What I noticed was something so basic that, again as a new climber, I didn't even think about - the soles of my shoes were covered in chalk. I scrubbed them off with a brush and saw an immediate improvement; focused on my footwork as outlined in this video and finished projects I was struggling with just last week. Thanks for the videos. Cheers.

I had my very first bouldering session this past weekend and had done some technique research before diving in using this channel and others. I was going in trying to make sure to use my toes to climb and not my whole foot. I had a lot of fun, and got my butt kicked a bit. The part that you mention at 2:25 about using the sides of your toes rather than being straight on is exactly what I struggled with. I was frequently bonking my knees into things and I'm sure my butt was hanging off the wall too. I've got a 2nd session planned and will focus on this sides of toes foot placement for that one. Seems like maybe the only time you want to be toes straight on is when you are matching feet?

Alex Tingle to gain confidence start by letting yourself feel from the first good than from the second, the third, until you start getting to sacred to let go, just go down one hold and let yourself fall again. Just keep pushing your fear until it's gone

Falling safely is more about body positioning than confidence. In judo, they teach you to slap the mat with your arm as you land (after getting thrown), since that absorbs some of the impact. In the case of bouldering, land on your feet, but let your momentum carry you so that you sort of sit down and roll to your back. As your lower back is beginning to touch the pad, reach out (sideways) with both arms and slap the pad at about the same time your upper back hits. Again, that's technique for judo, not bouldering, but it's the same concept, and it works for me. The more impact you can draw away from your feet, ankles, and knees (by rolling, etc.), the easier and safer the fall will be.

Thank you for the video! Could you please make one about the hip position? My questions are: should I be always trying to keep my butt closer to the wall or are there situations when it is preferred to form kind of triangle with the wall? Is it more efficient to climb facing the wall with hips wide open, or sideways, kind of like riding the bike?
@reggae01life
4 жыл бұрын
There are a few cases in which you may prefer having your butt not so close to the wall for instance going out of a roof or going on big macro holds (to have your arms straight perpendicular to the hold you try to catch) or when you want an opposition between hands and feet (-> on grey volumes / on footholds on which you stick by contact more than stepping on top / on the wall itself doing a Dulfer or similar things). It depends, it is often easier to clim sideways on overhangs while maybe more hips wide open on vertical / positive terrain. But climbing is way more complex and it is not an absolute law at all...

+tehtsb The correct way to stand on a volume is to have your toe pointing up the volume. I only ever use the edge of the volume with my hands. Does that answer your question? :)

My toes hurt so much (I have no injuries) when trying to stand on a foot hold like that, that I tend to place my feet wrong / only place them on big foot holds or just pretty much campus the whole thing. Obviously I've been focussing my training mainly on foot placement / toe strength but so far (after a few months) it's not helping one bit. Got any tips?
