Hello friends! Hope you're having a beautiful day today. Question, Which technique move are you currently working on? How's it going?

[neildutoit]

"focus on climbs 2 or 3 grades below my max level" - okay but where can I find negative grades?

[after_alec]

Quick note on something I've discovered training: don't just do a problem twice, do it until it until you dial in the beta so tight that the climb is easy. That might be one additional send and it might be five, but moving from hard to flow/easy makes for huge increases in the techniques that went into that climb

[scottsimmons]

One thing that I've just recently started doing is not worrying about sending and just focusing 100% of my attention on the move that I'm on. Becoming completely submersed in a single move is a big change in perspective and makes my sessions much more enjoyable. I noticed that worrying about if I was going to complete the route was starting to take the fun out of climbing. Now, every successful move is like a mini send. And because I'm focusing so much attention to even the simplest of moves, I'm picking up so much more detail than I used to and I feel like my mind and body retain the movements better.

My game changer: repeat routes multiple times. Reflect about good, smooth, dynamic and as effortless as possible movement. In difficult routes look for different solutions of other climbers, but first try to find the beta on your own.

Ever since I focused on technique my climbing ability has risen. Technique is everything. Great video! Thanks for all the tips!

[HaynSoja]

That silent feet is crucial! It Improved my climbing so much bro! I remembered you mentioned that a while back and I always focus on it. Thanks man!

[pajaroprofeta]

In my experience i've found that the ability to repeat boulder problems exactly the same or even better than before is crucial particularly for better lead climbing. That's why i don't have that much strenght but i can usually climb better in lead than many stronger boulderers. If you can memorize the tiny details of your body position and such you can usually replicate exactly what you did and complete your projects faster. Anyway great content as always, yours is slowly becoming one of the better climbing channels on youtube.

Downclimb #1 tip

tbh all of this tips are excellent and should be mind blowers for beginners.

[corny]

I always do hard routes at least three times, because first time it was luck, second time it was done, third time it was mastered ^^ Like you said, doing it multiple times improves your flow and understanding of the route so much!
All of your tips are really well explained, keep going!

[climberdad]

Great advise. New climbers in my gym get so excited about progressing through the grades that they don't climb the easier stuff to focus on technique. I'll be throwing your name out there on this one :)

[meilim]

For real, the downclimbing is an excellent tip. It's also really handy if you're trying to baby your ankle after a bad landing

Even 2 years on this video holds up so well. You may not be the fastest climber, but your technique is second to none.

[anthonykhoury-hanold]

When I go climbing after watching your videos I always have a great session. Your videos have really helped for foot work and body positioning. Thank-you!

[brenttsuji]

Great tips brother! Down-climbing is a very important aspect of climbing, especially if you ever plan to boulder outside! Sometime them down-climbs are scarier than the up-climb! Great video, keep it up! :)

[haleliraable]

My climbing as improved tremendously since I started watching your videos. I've been devoting most of my time at the gym on technique only. The results speak for themselves on days I just work on sending difficult routes. Thanks for all the tips and encouragement!

[adamberlinguette-ondrechak]

all these can be incorporated into 1 exercise that can be done once a week: CIRCUITS. its a similar concept, pick 4 problems 2-3 grades below your max grade. run them 4x with good rest in between each climb. every time you reach for a hold, hover your hand over that hold for 5 seconds. this forces you to work on everything covered in video and some other things. it forces you to find the most efficient way to climb the route. if your footwork or body position is bad, your arms will get way too tired to hold yourself up especially on bigger movements. optimizing footwork and body position will help maintain body tensions and reduce the amount of energy used to hold each movement. it gives you time on the wall improving endurance and strength. it forces you to maintain technique even when exhausted (this is really crucial when trying projects and in comps). when your doing this, technique should always be your focus so things like silent feet and avoiding readjusting should be incorporated. it also forces you to do problems more than once which improves muscle memory. i've been doing these for a month and already noticing significant improvements.

Just finished a really frustrating session today and needed this advice and encouragement. Thank you!
