I really like how articulate you are and how well you explain both complex and simple concepts. Even though I knew everything in this video, I still watched it all the way through. Thanks for the great content.

[ucshyguy]

Love how you explain the concepts! As a newer climber, I definitely am having difficulties using my legs rather than powering through with my arms. Still trying to wrap my head around it whenever I do climb.

I hope you talk about plateau’s. I feel like a lot of people who watch this channel reach a plateau around V6-V7, that’s where I’m at anyways.

I'm getting fired up watching this. I'm toking up before my first day climbing indoors. Hella pumped

[jonathonjollota]

Your voice is basically asmr. A calm experience where climbing just sinks into your soul

[TheLocalsOnlyPodcast]

One of the best videos I’ve seen in a very long time.

You’re gonna be one of the best YouTube channels for learning climbing. Keep this format and art style and you will go *very far*.

Thank you for posting this.

Thank you so much! I'm a beginner and learned the importance of straight arms earlier today. This video reinforced it beautifully.

Although the terms novice and beginner are synonymous if I were to make a ranking I would place beginner before novice. The term beginner implies the absolute beginning of a journey whereas novice is a bit ambiguous and in common usage it is a person that is new to a profession. Beginner | V0, V1; Novice | V2, V3.

I Just climbed my first V4 yesterday. It was so exciting. Thanks for the info!!

While I've been climbing a while, I listen to all his content because his voice is soothing, and he's teaching some amazing stuff. HE IS THE KING

[hollymarie]

This episode is FANTASTIC! I wish I had seen this when I started climbing 1.5 years ago. So excited for your series progression. Honestly, this first episode is unparalleled! Please keep the great content coming!

[MooMooManist]

I'm so happy you decided to do this series! I'm currently at V4 and I feel like I could use some tips.

0:57 identify jug hand holds - easy

1:33 identify chips (foot holds) or jugs again

2:21 try and do ‘matching’ and keeps arms symmetrical, easier to do next move

3:25 avoid t-rexing, keep arms straight, hang with straight arms, especially when deciding next move (less strength used)

5:13 keep a wide base, spread out arms and legs into a square

6:00 identify what holds are intended for left and right hands. If pulling edge is on right, use right hand.

I like the smooth moves of the climber. Very precise tutorial without too much talking :)

[Patrick-vtzo]

I've been climbing for about 2 years total, but took a year long break due to many circumstances. I've been wanting to not only get back into rock climbing, but relearn from a beginner's point of view because I'm sure (especially after watching this video) that I developed some bad habits. Many people are saying it, but I really do love the format--it's concise, it's easy to watch and listen to, and positive. Thank you for your videos!

Nghe Phúc hát mà nước mắt rơi mãi ....quá nhiều cảm xúc ùa về, quá nhiều kỉ niệm. Cảm ơn Đức Phúc thật nhiều, giọng hát anh ấm tựa nắng mùa Thu vậy.

[BuzzLiteBeer]

Already a huge fan of this channel (intelligent content, good production, structured). I'm a V2 climber and really wished I had more structure in my learning; this channel does exactly that for me.

[LawofMosesHere]

I really appreciate this content as a new climber. Thank you 🎉

[DanielSpiegel]

Fantastic introduction for new climbers. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[AJJ_Bros]

You give great explanations. Can you do a climbing analysis series where people send in video!!!! Please. Please. Please.
