God this is a great video. I'm 62 and have been climbing for 46 years,. I used to do a lot of no hands boulder problems but need to get back at it after watching this video. My top 50's grades are 13b and V9 and I'm hoping to top them in my 60's.
My friends are part time bouldering coaches but I'm a noob. One time I was struggling to step onto a ledge, exactly like 7:53. Your video just solved the mystery in my mind and proves to be more help than my friends combined. Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed.
I love it. Climbing is largely mathematics and the part of that I love is that you can either calculate the equation from the ground or you can sense, feel and intuit a workable equation whilst you climb. Its such a diverse and explorative process, I love it.
Same problem here. Another thing you can try on vertical problems is to try and not tense your forearm. Or after every move, get into a position where you can let go of your hands.
Awesome clip! One of my favorite things in climbing are the critical assessments of the physics and center of gravity that come into play when solving a boulder problem! Such good inputs, perfectly exemplified and argumented. Top video, keep it up Lattice!
Why did I miss this video? Great stuff! There are so many videos about strength, but we need more like this, where we learn more about how to get more with technique and not just brute strength.
In all of the world there's only 3 gyms with good soft pads you can fall 10ft down flat and it's fine: Seattle Bouldering Project, Austin Bouldering Project, and Minneapolis Bouldering Project. It boggles my mind people will boulder on anything else given the option.
I would argue it’s fun either way! Depends on many factors, I love explosive, strong, and dynamic moves but my short stature (5’4”) calls for that a lot of the time. However I also love the slow, methodical, technique approach to those truly challenging climbs as well!
Been seeing similar limb elimination exercises on some of the videos with Louis Parkinson recently, nice to see more of the same from you guys. Body awareness is self awareness
I'm working on a project where there is (for short me) a really high step. Sometimes I'm able to get my foot up and then I really have to remember that I quickly need to shift my weight over to that foot so I can get up and move on. Holds for hands are really bad so I really need the body weight to work for me.
What do you think about blindfolded practice (on top rope) ? I founded it to be usefull for me in a several ways. 1/ Finding new positions and holds on rock (which I would otherwise have disregared) 2/ Building up muscle memory and sequence memorisation 3/ Building endurance 4/ Improving mental game and trust in your belayer
Great instructional. I am finding it hard to progress in the gym. Understanding positioning is what I need to learn. How can I learn this if the wall over hangs? Thank you
I always found this intro tune super dope! was scrolling through some Artlist songs and I found it there! Was a little moment of satisfaction in the morning right there :D Song: Theevs - Kingdom Come
I'd say it's beneficial to avoid practicing the end point equilibrium when you get stuck unless you have spent a long time and am really stuck trying from the beginning because you miss out on building some more: strength, balance, endurance, confidence with the unknown and reactive problem solving skills whilst climbing
have you guys thought about teaching a climbing class on skillshare ? theres actually a need for it . i checked on there and there’s only one rock climbing class on there . i’m actually going to suggest to emil abrahamsson and eric karlsson to teach a climbing class on skillshare as well .
There's a route on a slab that has a couple of no hands moves and I'm doing everything that you said is bad. LOL! Going to try it again tonight! Thanks
Haven't been climbing since February cause of the lockdown here in Ireland and me living 2 hours away from any gym. I think I might as well make a small wall in my shed😅 Any tips anyone?
There's a wealth of info online regarding home climbing walls. Don't cheap out on the plywood or the supporting structure. Remember you're building it for yourself so make it as steep as you want. If you want a slab section and are height restricted you'll pretty much just be traversing. Personally I would recommend arranging the t-nuts in a grid pattern.
The best way to train, is you have a experienced trainer, where you have ones in the month a training or all two months and a personal training plan, tailored to you.
It is so stupid, if in your first move you simply put heel far from wall, it would work, same where you putting foot fingers, far from wall, but to have enough surface to make next move.
