5 Mistakes Every Beginner Makes With Their Body Position 

Body positioning is everything in climbing and I've made all of these mistakes too. What mistakes have you seen or have made yourself with body position?

Second time watching this video, now that Im a beginner whose a bit less of a beginner and learning new tricks. I like the reframing of hips-in on overhang and vertical as simply an effort to get hips closer to feet, or the center of gravity closer to base of support to explain why the opposite is true on slab. Really makes it simple and widely applicable across a variety of terrains when presented this way.

Thank you for all your videos - you’ve helped me a ton! 😊🙏🏻

ima start climbing mount Everest.

My problem is... I don't even know what/how I'm climbing, because I'm often going alone climbing and feel shy to record myself with this clumsy skill. I know there's no point to feel shy but it just happens...! But the video is very helpful, I'll try to keep this information in my head. Thank you!

Not only have I made these mistakes, but after once-per-week sessions for three months now, I've made and am continuing to make ALL of these mistakes. I'm 6'2", have long arms and legs and basically no "Movement IQ"...other than trying to keep my arms straight. I don't know how to use my legs, engage my core or twist with my hips to make climbs easier, and I leave the gym with my arms, elbows and shoulders on fire.

The hip position on slabs advice may be Game changing for me. Im good on overhangs and slabs as the balance and technique seems more obvious there but totally vertical I really struggle and I think this may be my issue. I'm gonna practice!

I’d love to see a video on recovery. How long, heal the skin, care for those poor little toes, nutrition, etc

Thanks i will try and keep this in mind for tomorrow,especially hip position on slab.

Thanks again! 🙂

There's this v5 slab that I've been struggling with and I had this eureka moment when you were talking about hips too close to the wall. There's the disk you have to stand on that I always feel super sketchy on, I wonder if adjusting my hip position will help. Only problem is that the only hand holds are also these sketchy tiny disk holds so it's sort of a balance of being scared of my foot slipping or my hands slipping. Gonna try tomorrow and adjust my hips, will report back! Haha :) thanks for your great videos, been watching a ton of them lately and loving them!

The biceps sass... Love it xD

1. restricting foot placement footholds. 2. maintain a vertical position. 3. hold position with arms. 4. hips hang out for every moment 5. hips are too close to wall.

Loved it! Nice!!!!

Thank you!

Where is you gym? i dont like wearing a mask on my mouth and nose. It seem that your gym also requires masks but its ok to have them on the chin, whats much more comfortable.

This climbing gym is just for rich people?
