@@justpullfilms aw thank you! I'm still in Arizona, USA, but when I'm done with grad school I want to travel o Europe and it's good to know that good bouldering doesn't just exist in Spain! haha
Incredible production!! So impressive and inspiring to see your perseverance for that send. You'll start breezing through the 8;s with this progress curve!
I think it is a good idea to not store your climbing shoes in your bag like every stinking skunk in the gym. Clip them to your bag and let them dry in open space after using them.
I would say its an advice that is good enough for probably 90% of climbers and easy to execute. Im probably a fairly new climber and my bouldering training is the boulder section of a lead gym so im alone most of the time. So i guess a good advice from me would be to boulder with other people because i think i would be much better with a partner by now. For "climbing more" its important to know what "more" is, if you climb once a week you will improve fast with 2 times. But dont over do it. If you go from 1 to 4 times a week it might harm you more than help. Another important part is to climb stuff outside your comfort zone. Though i guess most people know this
Campusboard seems to be a weak point. Considering the other performances, 1-5-8 would be normal i think. 1-5-7 is way off thats for sure. How are you handling far moves in overhangs? which are common in the V13 range
Far moves are a real strong point for me! I’m very good with big moves… it’s the tight boxes that are tough! I think campus board power is impressive… but I think how that translates to climbing isn’t as relevant. I can campus overhanging boulders outside and in up to 7B so I’m not too worried… need to focus on my footwork
From an outside perspective it looks like you should spend more time trying the last move in isolation instead of send goes from the start. Also less hesitation when going for the last hold (at 3:04 you are hanging there for 4s before commiting to the move).
Hey, great video! Could have been great to have a quick intro to explain which moves you were focusing on in this sesh' so we could know what to look for! Good luck on your journey!
I think it is bad advice if it’s reductive: “climb more” is good, “just climb more” is bad. “Just climbing” without thinking and expecting you will progress like someone who is aware of their own strengths and weaknesses and super aware of their technique on the wall definitely leads some climbers astray.
@@justpullfilms but good god man that could do so much damage to the rock. If there's ice either use something gentler or just come back another day, it isn't worth it.
By no means I am a strong climber but I think thats a great advice for 1 simple reason: the more you climb the more movement you have in your reportorial of muscle memory. Now, if we assume that as “climb everyday for 10 hours” then its bad advice
I agree with climb more but you also have to climb smart. If you just keep climbing the same things you won't progress. If you focus on your weakness and climb routes that improve your technique, finger strength, stamina etc then you will see progress. The hard part is figuring out what type of climbing will help you progress.
