CLIMBING Technique 96% of Climbers DON'T UNDERSTAND

In this video, we'll go over some movements that I think are great for teaching beginner and intermediate climbers how to use their hips. Hips can be unintuitive to start using, but once you start implementing them then I think you'll be surprised by how much your climbing technique can evolve.

This is the video I was looking for, thank you for creating this. I find myself doing these without that much awareness, and sometimes I don't know whether or not I'm doing it correctly. This is a well made video. You earned a subscriber my friend.

this is such an important focus area on the body! the visual examples really help with understanding how you've benefitted from making adjustments to your hips!

You're right, I don't understand it😉... but after thirty years of climbing I can say I use all of those techniques and it's as natural as walking. Knowing how to control and utilise your centre of gravity is a game changer. I never really thought about until I started teaching others and trying to figure out why they are struggling when I just breeze up the moves (sometimes it's vice versa). It's why I love climbing... it's so nuanced... sometimes a little thing like the position of your head can make all the difference! A great video on an important and very overlooked aspect of climbing. 👍

Ah yes, "the perch" and "the sag", terms I have been missing for too long. Thank you for sharing the terminology with some nice examples!

[chris-txzn]

I will focus on hips next session, thanks 👍

[AlvinHH]

Great content! I found that the music was a bit overpowering at times, something to consider for future videos :)

As a short climber, I desperately need the few inches extra of reach that hip mobility allows me to have. It baffles me to see people climbing as hard as I do without even using those techniques. So I guess I had to learn those techniques way earlier than somoebody who has a lot of reach and those people will have to learn it way later in their climbing journey.

brother you're an absolute goat. i'm a fan of your work.

I've been climbing for only a few years now and this is by far one of the best tutorials I've seen on youtube! I definitely didn't understand the pelvic tilt section so thank you for posting :)

[polimana]

This is one of the bestest bouldering vids eva.

[viniciussantospereira]

Great video, thank you! I have to complain about one thing though: your voice was king of low compared to the music in my opinion. I found it hard to understand what you were saying sometimes.

[veresdenialex]

Extremely nice video, was looking for something different than the basics

[boulderbaddie]

Absolutely love the editing in this video! And, the clear visuals/tips for beginners to optimize hip position!

[ada-fepb]

looking forward to future videos! you deserve more subs :)

I call it "Gravity point Climbing". The gravity point is in your hips, if you bring that point above the surface of your feetsteps you climbed like a professional (also in lower grade like a 4a). For sure this need hip flexibility (Frog) . When we stand we need no power in the hands, all the weight is above our feet surface, Climbing is so easy in contrary to Tennis or Table tennis ! :)
