4 Climbing Techniques Taught by Paul Robinson - INSANE ATTENTION TO DETAILS

[@paulrobinson87]

Geek Climber!!! it was awesome to climb with you buddy! Keep training hard and you will be climbing harder in no time!!! It was awesome to meet you and get to climb with you for the day! looking forward to another session hopefully soon!!!

[@MrJurre]

You are a cool dude Paul!

[@GeekClimber]

Hey Paul! I will continue training hard! Definitely let me know if you have a chance to visit San Diego next time, so I can show you my progress! Looking forward!!

[@echindaplatypus]

Thanks for the great tips and explanations! I loved this video, you're a super encouraging teacher. Amazing!

[@jonkrause6714]

Great and simple refinements! Mesa training ctr is so cool. Epic teamwork, especially the coaching. 😎. Eager to learn to achieve sustainable skills. 🙏🤙

[@ruymanac]

Thanks, amazing video

[@nateshih]

1. 1:16 Eyes on foothold 2. 3:35 Pull up and pull in when cutting feet (feet come off wall) 3. 5:32 Flag for optimal body position (balance a right hand reach with a foot off to the left) 4. 6:50 Read route edit: added time stamps to encourage actually watching the video. Didn't intend to discourage watching!

[@GeekClimber]

Good summary but everyone should listen to the details that Paul said!

[@viktorlnt7835]

yeah 10.30 for this information? come on...

[@johnbignold960]

If you are already saying 'this information' as if it's basic knowledge, this video isn't exactly suited for you. It's an enjoyable video, that not only provides helpful techniques. But more importantly, demonstrates how said techniques come into play whilst climbing.

[@erstaples1]

There's also the fact that it's simply disrespectful, considering that this is basically cheating Geek Climber out of the work he put into producing the video. C'mon man.

[@AstonArchitecture]

I was only after a quick recap after having watched once before, this is a godsend. Thank you.

[@famousamos]

He's a good teacher

[@GeekClimber]

Agree!

[@Jsoccer1999]

Paul sounds like a caring father teaching his 7 year old son

[@GeekClimber]

That’s a proof that Paul is a good coach.

[@Del1Dub]

hahaha he totally does sound like that its cool

[@pedromgodinho]

Jack1999 uuhh6

[@potatopotato6980]

Omg ur so right it’s so funny but it makes geek climber feel comfortable and not under pressure to learn the tricks quickly

[@smokie_777]

a bit condescending imo

[@Yelloey]

Paul is an awesome coach. Super supportive and patient!!

[@GeekClimber]

Can't agree with you more! Paul is amazing!

[@jdm2626]

I wish more teachers (or really anyone explaining anything) would be more like Paul. He encourages you and really describes what you should do in a simple way. Doesn't get mad when you make a mistake, he lets you figure it all out first.

[@cantostream]

This is great: it takes courage to let someone coach you on video. Thanks a lot!

[@GeekClimber]

I was a bit nervous but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to get coached by Paul Robinson!

[@rockentry]

This is so awesome!! In so many ways. Looking forward to see your future progress! you got this.

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like the video! I have been following Paul's training plan. Pretty intense for me but hopefully I will be able to climb a grade higher soon!

[@gbm7880]

You two have no idea how much you help me with your channels. Keep doing what you're doing, both of you! :)

[@climberdad]

Pull in and up to stop the swing. That's awesome. Great video!

[@GeekClimber]

Yea, right? I was so conditioned to keep my arms straight that it didn’t come to mind that I should pull in and up when my feet were cut.

[@gbm7880]

Man, this is REALLY good! Keep doing videos like these, they're super helpful

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the video helpful! I will definitely continue making awesome videos like these!

[@Balgore8]

That was really legit advice he's really good at explaining things and his thoughts, thanks for this both of you!

[@skyfinderlarmour5116]

I love that you are teaching others what you know and are still very open to learning. This shows me that you will always be giving advice that is coming from a place of improvement, not shortcuts. 🙏

[@GeekClimber]

There’s so much to learn about climbing. Gotta keep on improving!

[@wakeupinwinter]

Damn, Paul seems super chill and really knows his craft. So much respect!!

[@GeekClimber]

Paul is truly a professional man, really knowledgeable and down to earth. Amazing!

[@brad34mlb]

Love his enthusiasm, he's so happy to be there and so passionate

[@mitchellfoye1998]

that video actually had a lot of very useful information in it, thank you and hope you post some more

[@crystalpritchett1595]

I love the way you edited out the slow parts and just included the nitty gritty. Great video!

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like the video! The entire session with Paul is about 2~3 hours and it was hard to distill it down to 10 mins!

[@fwchoi]

Geek Climber, I'm running V5/V6 as well so this is great stuff for someone at a similar level. Thanks and cool session with Paul Robinson!

[@GeekClimber]

You are welcome! Let's break through the plateau together!

[@bentoomey15]

First tip, and Paul is already knocking it out of the park, focusing on the psychology of confidence.

[@ce1997]

I love how Paul is just so patient and encouraging. That's how you do it

[@georgeharper8865]

Love the technical climbing instructions I've seen so far! Learning a lot pretty quickly since I've started watching. Keep up the educational posts please! I can't learn everything the hard way lol

[@GeekClimber]

Definitely will be making more technique videos. Stay tuned for more!

[@fivebyfivesound]

Great contextual tutorial! Thanks for putting yourself out there for the benefit of our shared learning 👍🏽

[@barrymorgan8164]

Great video! I’m about to go for a climb right now so I can’t wait to put these tips to good use! Great explanations and demonstrations of the benefits of each tip.

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like it! Let me know how it goes when you apply them!

[@jamesclark6257]

Very helpful video. There seems to be very little content out there to help intermediate climbers. I will definitely try out these techniques

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the video helpful! There are a lot of training videos for intermediate climbers, but I agree with you that there are not many about techniques for intermediate climbers out there. Let me know how it goes!

[@josephlarsen]

man, he's just plain an awesome teacher. So encouraging, lets you do your best and then teaches.

[@ml242]

Very nice video, looks like a great day with Paul! Thanks for sharing.

[@muumarlin1731]

This is just super solid advice. Amazing how much of a difference the suggested adjustments make.

[@hellwroughtangel]

Great stuff: video, information, and examples. And that pull up/pull in when cutting feet is like a magic trick, awesome.

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like the video! Paul is really great at delivering information. The pull up/pull in when cutting feet technique blows my mind too.

[@mralansmith]

Bouldering 1:10 1. eyes on foothold during foot placement. - Then I know my foot is placed correctly. I can move beyond with confidence. - Practice this during warmup, before fatigued 2:50 2. During foot cut. As you cut, pull up and in with arms and put foot up. Don't let extended legs swing down. - Swinging out will be less. Effort to place feet back on the wall will be less. 5:15 3. Flag for optimal body position - example. when i remove right hand, I swing to left and fall off. So flag to left to avoid swing. 6:45 5. Route Reading - stand back and plan route before I start.

[@DeSmaaGraa]

When he says “come on, come on” I expect a following “ veeery Good, push, push” ,- John Hammond 😂👍🏻🤘🏼

[@GeekClimber]

Haha, Paul has a different style of encouraging people!

[@DeSmaaGraa]

Geek Climber haha its awesome though ;) great video :D

[@mindfulmagician7550]

This was such a great video, I learned a few key moves points that I want to implement right away!

[@GeekClimber]

I totally agree with you!

[@dsmeier6270]

A master class from Paul! Nice vid!

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like the video! Amazing master class indeed!

[@mtc7598]

Paul is so amazing, I keep on watching these videos of him teaching you guys. Once he stops his professional career he should really think about working as a coach. So so so good

[@alphatrd]

Would love to see more of these!

[@GeekClimber]

Haha I need to show your comment to Paul!

[@SufferingAddict88]

thanks SO much for sharing! Very insightful.

[@GeekClimber]

You're welcome! It's amazing to me how knowledgeable Paul is!

[@SufferingAddict88]

@@GeekClimber I only started bouldering a couple of month ago. Yesterday I tried to apply the tips from this video. The thing that stood out to me the most was what a profound difference it makes to take the time and actually look at once food. I'm seriously staggered how that didn't occur to me before. So yeah, I can say that this video actually made me a better climber, who ever said you wouldn't learn things from youtube? ;D Thanks again to you and Paul.

[@rustyolgun]

Thank you for sharing!

[@GeekClimber]

You are welcome!

[@climbscience4813]

This is really an awesome video! I think we are at a similar level, so these tips could really help, especially the one with watching your feet while you place them!

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the tips helpful as I did! Watching your feet while you place them helps so much. I wonder why I didn’t discover this earlier, haha.

[@mingye3893]

nice video. thank u and thank Paul!

[@GeekClimber]

You are welcome! Paul is definitely one of the most amazing professionals I’ve encountered!

[@Maxisokol]

This is gold, thank you!

You’re welcome! Glad you like it!

[@KubaClimbsRocks]

Nice dude!!! Hope to see a progress video in the future!

[@GeekClimber]

Hey Kuba! I will make one as soon as I can solidly climb a few V6s.

[@k3tna]

handy stuff suggested here. taken some notes. thanks both!

[@climbingmedic1158]

Nice vid, great content! Learning from the best, you are lucky.

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like the video! Yes I am super lucky to be able to learn from Paul!

[@gregbrowning5437]

New climber and recently found your channel. You're awesome Geek Climber! Thanks.

[@GeekClimber]

Welcome to the rock climbing family! Glad you like my videos and definitely stay tuned for more!

[@viktorschwarz273]

Nice Video! I just started climbing and I found the advices given very useful.

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the tips useful! I wish I had known them when I first started.

[@Harry-dh2pm]

This guy is an absolutely fantastic coach.

[@GeekClimber]

Totally agree with you!

[@EranAmir]

Second tip is gold! Great video!

[@GeekClimber]

I like the second tip a lot, too! I was very conditioned to keep my arms straight, so this is an eye-opener for me.

[@jacksonswilde]

Climbing with a pro like paul is like woah that so cool! But 2 youtubers doing a collab it pretty normal despite your climbing difference. You are both legends in my eyes!

[@GeekClimber]

Glad to hear that! It was definitely a surreal experience of working with Paul! I hope I can inspire younger generations some day like what Paul is doing now.

[@jacksonswilde]

@@GeekClimber I am 15 and very inspired!

Super helpful video for a beginner like me. Thank you.

[@GeekClimber]

You’re welcome! Glad you find it helpful.

[@realkylehooks]

Great stuff. Today was my first day climbing in two weeks, and I could feel that my route reading was off. My climbing sense started to come back after an hour or so.

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like it! I usually just climbed and felt a route. I had no idea that this prevented me from making good progress because I wasted so much strength that I could’ve used on harder routes. I used to think route reading was just for people who did comps.

[@realkylehooks]

Geek Climber Both are great skills to build. Climbing without a read helps you really think on your feet, and reading a climb helps you climb efficiently. It's like reading sheet music vs playing jazz improv. Both are great

[@wezlos]

I want to bring Paul with me every time I climb.

[@GeekClimber]

Me too!

[@GeekClimber]

Hey man it’s never too late to start climbing. I’ve met plenty of people in their 50s and 60s in the gym that just started. I am sure you will find great joy in rock climbing.

Amazing video, I have always wanted to learn about the small details that separate elite climbers. These are not things you can just google! I'm sure these small details make a big difference long term and I look forward to incorporating them into my climbing. Keep up the great vids!

[@GeekClimber]

I feel you! To be honest with you, I was completely blown away. I used to think I had known most of the techniques already. It was just that my fingers and muscles were not string enough. Little did I know! There is so such to learn in climbing!

[@coleslaw3422]

Paul seems like a really cool guy!

[@GeekClimber]

He is actually a really cool guy in real life!

[@Unojoservir]

One small tip for hand placement, once you grab the hold, hold it. Double checking your hold by shifting the hand and “making sure” youre on it good enough will waste energy. Theres videos out there on it. Take a look. Cheers

[@GeekClimber]

Totally agree with you!

[@susedianinso]

The way he said "Pull Up!", sounded like the ground proximity warning system in a plane. "Sink Rate, Pull Up!" :D
