[@emilyaddison-wainwright1332]

Thanks so much for the incredible opportunity to film with you. I’d love to cover some more advanced techniques in another video. Can’t wait to shoot the next slab set!

[@GeekClimber]

Yes, it seems like the interest in breaking down advanced slab climbs is quite high! Can’t wait to shoot the next slab set too!

[@luigismushrooms5701]

We're all rooting for ya fam, get those slabs!

[@youytubey]

Great to watch, may I ask what brand your pants are? Thanks

[@flwi]

You are very good at explaining the topics in different ways. Can't wait to try your tips!

[@mclovin6537]

Emily should start a KZbin channel

[@rockentry]

Next session I’m going straight to the slab wall! Great video and very helpful. Love it!

[@GeekClimber]

I think we all would love to see you trying out some sketchy slabs!

[@OMGNORWAY]

The explanations are so good here but I can't get over Emily's perfect tutorial voice. 10/10

[@realkylehooks]

Excellent coaching by Emily. She's got a clear, soothing, confident voice.

[@AdamCulp]

Such great tips. Will be putting this to use on my current slab projects.

[@millacabral9475]

That was really great! She's very thorough and deliberate, loved it

[@nerdbottin]

I was working on the slab lab for a couple sessions. Such a fun area! Emily makes everything look so easy. I had to take a more dynamic (and sloppy) approach to getting to the good crimp above the volumes on #11, and similarly for #18, I just stood up off the left foot to get higher into the volume above, "slapping" it, instead of adjusting feet first, like she does. Makes me want to revisit these problems.

[@lailaahamad2516]

Emily is around my height and seeing her climb like this is great motivation!! Like obviously skill comes with practice and years of mileage, but the fact that climbers with all kinds of bodies, differences in weight and height, all manage to get to that top is so cool! Love climbing! Thanks for this video! I've learnt a lot and can't wait to try it out.

[@rebeldeboliche7061]

What an amazing video, Geek. You are the best! And Emily, a star!

[@peggykao5948]

Emily is an amazing coach, love how she explains the techniques!

[@deci]

Loved this slab set and video. Looking forward to a part 2 with 16, 17, 18 as those were way harder than the rest for me.

[@KinnikuNINJA]

I absolutely love this video! Going to share it with every climber I know! So informative and inspiring! 💪😁

[@derekchen5749]

Awesome video, Emily is a fantastic coach!

[@chris_devlog]

Would have loved to see you climb too! I think it's great to see an expert vs lower skill level back to back to really notice the differences

[@flppr_]

Thanks for another great video! As a beginner, I really appreciate that I can learn techniques based on the climbs at my home gym. Being in college, these videos are super helpful bc although I’d love to do sessions with a trainer, I dont have the financial flexibility. Time to hit slab lab! Please keep putting out more mesa rim videos!!!

[@LiiMuRi]

I always like to do some slab problems as a part of a warm-up, because it helps me to focus on the use of legs instead of arms. If I go directly to more negative routes, I easily start pulling too much with my arms and forget the legs. Doing some slabs helps my brain to not forget the legs. Unfortunately, some gyms don't have many slabs :(

[@ashpowell9451]

Emily is a great teacher, thanks for the tips.

[@pjiratip]

Woah, looks like she was doing ballet on the wall 😮 I am super impressed.

[@frictitiousclimbing4991]

Awesome video friend! Great motivation to get out there and slab it up!

[@wadball]

good tips! slab is so fun and satisfying to finish a tricky climb

[@MiguelClimbs]

Emily climbs so controlled! Also, great audio in this video Geek Climber! More climbing vids like this bro!

[@GeekClimber]

Yes haha. I am trying to up my video production game like you too Miguel!

[@kft4764]

That's funny, the good audio stuck out to me immediately when she got on the wall and the audio stayed the same. I was like oh she must be mic'd up.

[@Sora62Echo]

Emily is a super great coach and climber in San Diego!!

[@basildaoust2821]

I love how good climbers make climbing look effortless, yet we all know how hard it is for someone who is out of shape and not schooled in any technique other than the fear of falling.

[@evanmaclean943]

Seen a few random videos but now that I know you are in my old neighborhood I might have to watch a few more. Lives in Mira Mesa. Now currently in Switzerland. Cheers geekclimber.

[@takeiteasy8847]

excellent video! love it!

[@gryphon940]

She moves like a damn climbing robot. Learned some new things! Great video

[@thejointcoach]

mesa rim is wonderful 💪🏼

[@bsmonkey6036]

Shes a great teacher :)

[@caesarsol]

I too would have liked you Geek Climber to try the routes! but cool and informative video nonetheless 😉

[@mclovin6537]

Very useful info

[@nephalemresurrection7518]

Thank you for video. Are you can learn V-Sit?

[@thynaklosgrondh8266]

Nice video Geek climber. Would have loved to see you on that slab wall with Emily coaching you.

[@GeekClimber]

I was able to climb all the routes that Emily broke down in this video prior to filming. I will see if we can make another one in the future where she coaches me to climb an advanced slab problem that I couldn’t climb!

[@dellaaddison411]

Wonderful Emmy ! I want you to coach me‼️❤️

[@dmd7472]

She has a black belt in explaining things clearly

[@Rodrigo-fo6ku]

Still can't do #9 after this great beta! Was great meeting you geek climber!

[@GeekClimber]

Great meeting you too, Rodrigo!

[@dariostefanutto5780]

Emily is so professional! I wish I had a coach like her when I got started.

[@frankpetrone]

can you do a video where you go over your workout routine? i only climb right now but i want to start going to the gym and doing workouts that will help me get stronger and be a better climber. i want to be learn calesthenics. i like watching your videos because they give me hope that i can learn different moves and improve if i practice and train hard enough.

[@fredericp64]

Thanks for the video, would have been nice to see techniques on those penny sized toe holds. I really struggle on those. Any advantage to wearing a softer vs harder sole on these holds?

[@EvilTaco]

I feel like it's much easier with hard soles when it comes to tiny holds. It's possible with softer ones, but just much harder and more painful

[@simkenys]

Circuit shoes

[@jackharbor3347]

Could she show some harder climbs? This all looks like the hardest one was 6b. I would be interested in some 7b/7c slabs.

[@GeekClimber]

I will ask her to breakdown harder slab climbs for part 2!

[@rmazocar]

#7 is V3ish #9 is V4ish Mesa Rim grades aren't soft as far as indoor goes

[@deci]

she made 11, 12, and 13 look easy but i basically watched almost everyone get shut down on them when i was there. those felt touchstone v4 - 5ish to me. (11 being the hardest of the 3 maybe due the gym being hot) would love to see 16 - 18 as those were significantly harder than the rest (maybe v7 ish?)

[@user-wk9wv4pz1t]

Great video! I was wondering if I can buy the 5bar outside US?

[@sportyjen62]

good lord her leg press strength is insane - if I did what she did my knees will blow up

[@Rmikeyhow]

Good stuff thx

[@xawerytrabka8813]

5/5 !

[@louaybadi1482]

Amazing video 💪💪

[@joshuadimercurio2193]

If you ever have the time, may you upload some videos of your piano playing? Thanks! :)

[@Sordo981234]

Bro can you try doing the “nordic curl”

[@jonkrause6714]

Awesome, Emily: Inspired to try slab. 🙏 Geekclimber. Talking while climbing-what a novel concept. 5 bar is the best bar ever. 🤘

[@GeekClimber]

Yes, I have no idea how Emily was able to climb and talk at the same time haha.

[@themadfrankenstien]

Good video! You should do a pistol squat video

[@otherone9224]

When will you achieve the full planche?

[@revonambrose5139]

Nice 👍

[@nicoguin6288]

There are some sound cuts throughout the video. For example at 6:25

[@gamer-fg2xn]

do advenger tuck planche

[@guustvanuden2968]

she could be a teacher, sales person or an actress / news anchor, just a gues haah

[@heruilin4404]

Do you have plans for a keto version of the 5-bar?

[@GeekClimber]

I will if I can get some initial success!

[@marcosjuan3142]

This girl climb very smart

[@hioh8716]

What kinda confuses me is the fact, that there is only one marked starthold. Is that common in this climbing gym? And how do you know, which other hold you are supposed to use for the starting position?

[@PandanNyTV]

Depending on the climber gym, if only 1 is marked then it is one of the following: - Both hands must begin on that hold - One hand must begin on that hold, the other hand may begin on any hold *below* the start hold.

[@hioh8716]

@@PandanNyTV then it seems to be this one: - One hand must begin on that hold, the other hand may begin on any hold below the start hold. Never heard of that rule, but it makes sense. Thank you!

[@viceroi9332]

Ouuu what shoes are those?

[@TheHujosh]

Dude why havent you climbed those? :D

[@anonym___]

Does anyone know his height?

[@bondjames-bond7664]

Damn .... No one can even guess .... How strong the average guy is ..... He looks so simple ..... Hence the proverb " don't judge a book by it's cover "

[@tomriddle2257]

What shoes is she using?

[@sharkdavid]

looks like la sportiva but I'll leave it to you to find the specific shoe

[@amintiridincopilarie3168]

Like.

[@differentone_p]

I wanted to see how you tried😔

[@DemiRonin]

Wow, that girl is Uber strong

[@GeekClimber]

Yes! She makes those climbs look too easy haha.

[@jimmahgee]

SO,

[@CJski]

Wtf is a “side cling”?

[@GeekClimber]

Maybe side pull is better? But I think side cling is also understandable.

[@CJski]

@@GeekClimber lol sounds like a side pull with separation anxiety

[@johnstainforth8400]

Great climbing by Emily, but not the essence of slab climbing, which is all about climbing on almost non existent footholds.

[@artmex7815]

who else here from TRW ? xd

[@hhhhj5831]

Lmao 🤫

[@DivineAtheistWannabe]

We all know he cheated on his wife

[@alexbarcovsky4319]

6:12 "barndooring is bad, you want to stabilize and utilize your free limbs" 6:38 *immidiately barndoors by not swapping feet and utilizing the flag she showed 20 seconds ago*

[@razzanator06]

Kind looks like the hold gets better as you move around it. Moving to a flag here looks way harder than just anticipating the swing imo

[@ahmedfallaha612]

I respect you man you make grate videos but I think that you need to work on your Body language

[@GeekClimber]

Just curious, what is wrong with my body language?

[@ahmedfallaha612]

@@GeekClimber I notice that you move your hands a lot

[@itsm3th3b33]

Need to lower the temp in that room. 😜

[@abasicname8848]

is she cussing? i dislike this censorship

[@GeekClimber]

Where's the censorship that you are referring to? In any case, Emily didn't cuss anywhere in the video.

[@derekchen5749]

I think he is referring to 6:25, seems like some slight audio issues with the background noise

[@abasicname8848]

Oh okay. It sounded weird then
