See and I thought falling on your back was probably the best bet so I'm really glad you made this video. I'm terrified of heights and using indoor climbing to try to overcome my fear
To all the people saying "wear a helmet" your right, but thw bigger issue is he stuck his foot through the rope. Thats why he spun around in the way he did. If you take any belaying course they will tell you how to avoid that. He and his belayer should have been more cautious. Im just glad he is alive.
Not at all. He went to grab, missed the hold and kept his leg extended when he fell. If you fall backwards and not nearly straight down, your center of mass swings around the fulcrum of your tie in. Happens all the time. In other words this is an everyday mistake that took often puts people in brain trauma wards. Moral is, wear a fucking helmet.
yea well i can tell you from experience, as someone with brain damage. Just because you train to do something a specific way, doesn’t mean it’s always gonna happen. And even if you do what you’re trained, things can always happen and go sideways. Don’t end up with over 15 concussions and become epileptic like me please, wear your helmet.
Some climbers will take more time than others to progress but what’s clear is that you cannot improve without showing up. Mixing things up can also be a game changer i.e. trying out board climbing if you haven’t done any before or stepping out of your comfort zone by trying top roping or lead climbing. I wish you the best💪💪💪
@@lle9058 currently 2-3 for about 2hrs each as I'm coming back from a pulley injury and training for a marathon. Previously would've done 3-4 for 2-3hrs
My ex was at V3/V4 after 5 years of climbing. After climbing with me for half a year she was doing high V5s with me (1.5 year experience for me). Her problem was not trying climbs that she perceived as being too difficult. Project hard stuff, you will learn a lot and progress.
@@rai1smaw603 I obviously don’t know how you climb or what your weaknesses might be but getting past climbing V3 on overhangs might involve building a lot of mileage on V1’s and V2’s. Then you’re bound to find achievable V3’s and V4’s down the line💪
@@RoadtoV11 thanks a lot! the problem in my gym is that overhung v2's are too easy and v3s are significantly harder. i will focus on climbing more in less intensity to build up technique and strength. thanks again!
That getting better at things you are good at is so real. I usually have no problem with up tp v7 betas at my gym as long as there are lots of crimps or jugs. On the other hand betas with mostly sloapers, i go v5 absolute max
Kilter board is more about pulling strength, while Moonboard is more about finger strength because Moonboard has much smaller size. Not always true, but most of time, this should be right.
I think grading,bweather soft or hard doesn't matter as long as you use Kilter board carefully according to your purpise. For example, if you try your limit grade, weather the grading system sift or hard doesn't matter match.
Hey I was climbing few years back, and was leading sports on month 9, and did some trad lead on month 12ish. Here is what I did to train the french toast out my forearms, and gain insane endurance. mind you back then I was 50lbs heavier. I would down climbing the medium routes in out gyms, so like v3-v6ish on hard grade from south dakota. we grade weird there, anyways ya spend like a hour of climb up, then climb down, do this for a legit hour, and dont shake after every move on these, start the shake as soon as the pump starts up. I used to be a power lifter so my climbing routines was hella strict, while doing these down climb routines, which you can add whatever ya like into it practice these key things! FOOTWORK, Hand Placements, Try to miss as many holds once the route is 100% memorized, make the route harder then it needs to be , and mix it up all while down climbing. down climbing legit could save your life in the real world scenarios, and sometimes you have to down climb, but practicing it gives you hella endurance! you can also do the arm wrestler devon larrets forearm workouts. im aware our forearms, give us the endurance, and the tendon strength in the fingers needs to be just as strong. so in saying that your first 1000 times, up , and down a route NO CRIMPING AT ALL, no thumb over crimps, you arnt trying to straight the tendons, you are only working on the forearms, and it just so happens the fingers strengthen as well. I subbed brother great channel! probably moving to utah this year for outdoor education at southern utah university. think its only like 3,500 routes in south dakota, and in utah its 20K+ routes mind blowing. have not climbed outdoors in about 4 -5 years, and only a handful of indoor cause moved away from the dakotas for awhile.
@@RoadtoV11 no thank you for putting killer climbing footage out! I dont have my climbing videos public anymore, but had like 5 - 10 of my climbs starting at like 5.5 working my way up into the 5.10s. god I miss climbing so much man there is nothing like it. its literally a escape from everything, and when you are climbing its you , and the wall. your mental state against it, alot of climbing literally is just mental fortitude ya know?
I was climbing the first time with my friend but no instructions. Climbed to the top, didn't know how to get down, so I slipped and strained my elbow really badly. Not a good way to start climbing for sure, I lost my interests in it immediately.
