6 Advanced Climbing Tips Anyone Can Learn From

[@HoopersBeta]

Sloper Daddy always provides

[@xenonsens]

Like the format. Much better when mixing indoor climbing with useful tips and techniques rather than just sending problem after problem. Outdoor videos are my favourite though.

[@max_kl]

I miss the old setting and hard indoor climbing videos

[@Basows12]

I really love the indoor problem after problem vids 😅

[@Melnihr]

The format where you climb a boulder, break it down, and focus on one technique/tip that's essential to climbing it well, is pure gold. It really makes each boulder more interesting, and it's a very thoughtful approach that makes me psyched to go climbing and apply the techniques, and also to be more intentional and thoughtful in my approach to figuring out beta, even when climbing below my limit. Thanks for all of your hard work, your videos are among the best on youtube, and it's been inspiring watching you grow both as a climber and as a youtuber.

[@SnowmansApartment]

i had an ‚aha‘ moment last year where pulling yourself inwards made a huge difference on the start of the boulder. It was the first time i noticed that i pulled myself towards the wall on some attempts and didn‘t on others. I think this one boulder taught me more than all the others i climbed that week combined. Hoopers beta also loves to mention how important lower traps are, i think thats exactly the type of move that profits from well conditioned lower traps =)

[@erics8604]

I think the format is a great idea, Emil. It was rather easy to understand what you wanted to point out with your tips, because you explained them in a vividly manner, while also demonstrating them on the boulder. Definitely gonna try these moves and tips in my next boulder session.

[@walterlotte4215]

Even as somebody who climbs for a long time already it's always nice to get an insight of the thought process of a professional. Thanks Emil, I enjoyed this one. :)

[@Nicoandthepage]

Love that format :) as someone that is generally pretty athletic and wants to progress quickly but is still quite new to bouldering (4 month), these tips are super super valuable. Thanks Emil :)

[@davidw789]

I'll always take tips from great climbers and it's easier to understand when I see it being done. Love the format

[@norberttardivo689]

I love this tipe of format, becouse it's liquid gold for someone that is growing as a climber. You just took 6 things that you learnd in years of climbing and give'ed to us in a 12 minute video. Really thank you awsome video, is not a video for the views but for the genuine conten. Nice one Emil =]

[@passionatemelon6627]

Absolutely loved the format, it was super nice to be given tips while watching a normal session

[@tablechaise3211]

The format is excellent, especially with the examples from outdoor combined with the indoor ones. Thank's for the tips, sloppers sensei

[@jedkai29]

I think this format and the second one you have done in this style is really great for helping break things down for developing technique, I will definitely watch these again and keep an eye on your channel for more of this fantastic content. Thank you

[@Theboardbro]

This makes me so excited to learn more things about climbing!!

[@bewarebear22]

Love the format! I know integrating little tips after seeing them demonstrated like this can make such a big difference over time.

[@alexpdream677]

Like the format! Learnt some things!

[@olavogazzola2650]

Plastic bag tip was life saver today, thanks 🙏

[@falcozais6171]

Amazing video! Love the detailed advanced technique tips.

[@kajekaiori]

Love this. There’s so little content like this for more advanced climbers

[@nickwoods8854]

Great format, mixing outdoor problems and indoor problems, with advice. Solid edit. More content like this every now and then will be well received 👊 🇨🇦

[@Eyllexx]

Always so psyched for these videos ;)

[@sashaburrow6186]

Always good to get tips... Its so easy to fall into bad technique or never learn the correct technique for certain types of problems.

[@michalpad5750]

The format is super cool!

[@frankk9897]

Really nice format! Useful and easy to watch

[@w4ywardlucky]

That sloper tip is great as soon as I heard it my brain went straight to a climb with a final move Crux from a sloper and I never understood why sometimes I’d get it and sometimes it felt impossible but the shoulder positioning seems like a good explanation

[@albertolamorte867]

Thank you Emil, this format is super useful. I guess it's quite useful to break boulder sequence into chuncks and analyse them separately. Too often we just climb intuitively and if we can close one movement we always think we need to crimp harder, but it's not always the case. Many thanks

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Great insights!

[@Mindofliz]

I love indoor climbing vids!

[@shannonwalling1952]

Awesome! Would love to see more tips!

Awesome format!! Have to stop the video for a bit to read and the head you because all the info is so on point

[@basurabasura]

Liked the format, you are a great communicator. I am v4-5 climber and this was useful to me

[@sidvader91]

Great video, Emil! I have this tough problem at my gym that I’ve been stuck on forever and I think the sloper positioning tips are just the tweak I needed.

[@roboluigi]

Did it work?

[@raymondfoo9045]

Really enjoy your video of this format.

[@loejohn509]

Those illustrations were key! I hope we get more of those in future vids.

[@424-i7r]

Love the video! It really feels like you’ve been stepping up the production quality and coming into your own style. If you keep this up consistently you will definitely hit the algorithm! Good stuff Emil👍

[@TheGreaterU]

So helpful! I have a long way to go. Inspiring.

[@Dntlpln]

love the video format! For me, it’s at least partly because gym climbing sessions always keep you in this mode of working/breaking down a handful of different boulders at a time, so the new format lends itself to that style of thinking

[@Abdullah_X.8]

Very helpful tips and I like the format of this video a lot as well! Great job!

[@implausibleduck]

Great format Emil - really enjoyed this video and learned a lot from it. Thank you.

[@alyx0099]

Great Content! Love it!

[@maldjia]

It's so helpful for beginners like me! Please more!!

[@xIsouLcruSHca]

Bouldering jesus got our backs everytime ;) Wheter its good tips, awesome content, sick moves or all combined!

[@ericmwilliams3934]

love the video, i think for the sloper example when you show what not to do it would be helpful to see the video side by side with proper form

[@nextslin]

Extremely cool format ! thanks

[@tomasnozka1]

Great format of a climbing video

[@matthewbrilleart]

I liked this video! It gives some helpfull tips that goes beyond all the beginners tips that we can find everywhere! thanks for the content, keep it up ;)

[@rakeadams3162]

loved the format

[@fysio_Kajsa]

Really good content. I like it a lot! Especially the breakdown on the bodypositioning on slopes with illustrations on the mechanics and exemplifying why I (and many with me) just slip of them. I hope for more vids like this one 🙂

[@jsc1436]

Yeah love the format. Very interested for some technique tuesday videos on more advanced moves/techniques

[@martaperezdelope]

Love the format!

[@lailleq84]

I loooooove this format, and the explanation about sloppers: I knew it was related to my center of gravity being to far off from the wall, and I was only focusing on my thighs to adjust, but not my shoulders 😂

[@SDwuwei]

Great video of tips I can incorporate into my climbing!

[@Joostin8]

I LOVE THIS FORMAT

[@BarlowKidd]

Really good bro I’d love another one. Keep it up 👌🏽

[@anibalchaves7577]

It's great to learn from your movement knowledge, i really like your videos on rocks, and this too

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Thanka mate!

[@RockClimberAlex]

0:41 The manufacturers know this, so if your shoes comes in a box, they are wrapped in a shiny plastic material, usually in two pieces, or that you can easily make into two pieces and you can use that, instead of the plastic bags.

[@shoug6555]

The things climbers will do to avoid wearing socks even once.

[@severin2004]

deffently taking these tipps into consideration for my first comp, thanks for the banger as always :D

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

First comp, nice! Enjoy it my friend, comps can be so much fun

[@vikinggoneraiding584]

i always like watching your videos. you are one of the few i like the video before even watch it. :P this was a little different that your apt videos, but very nice. one thing is to find old clips when you talk about a trick or tip. but if you also can show it directly like you did with the momentum of the leg. you showed a clip of you on "the dagger" were you used the momentum of your leg, and after you showed it on the problem you did indoor, as you did with the shoulder tension on last problem and at "dreamtime". i really like that way. sometimes your videos (for me) are like watching the best og the campus god climbing :P i love to see when you close impossible projects. but in this video, i felt that you were talking to me! i like that way of making your video. BUT i will also say that pls dont stop making you big project videos! because you are a true inspiration! :) Keep you your awsome work!

[@Bobbzorzen]

Loved this episode!

[@jimmyflipper8093]

Tips are always welcome. 😁👍

[@fitzgeraldzamorlouis8929]

Ite really great i follow you since this summer when i strat climbing and you have help me a lot. Continue your hard work !!

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Cheers homie! I'm happy I can help :-)

[@samsonyu5679]

The climbing tips are really helpful but I wouldnt mind advanced skincare routine tips too 😂

[@bryanhaw1]

Technique tips are much appreciated!

[@Wijkert]

3:09 "hey, didn't see you there" 😄

[@danmclenaghan1350]

I love the format! I think it would be cool to do the same type of tips on outdoor climbs like 7B-8A.

[@christopherkahler6742]

I really the combination of indoors and application outdoors. Super cool Emil keep it up! Moar of this pls

[@fabiopalma4429]

Excellent tips! Thanks!

[@BIGBORE375HH]

I like it. Great tips. 👍

[@kajekaiori]

Make this a weekly occurrence my guy

[@andreaskrause]

instead of plastic bags you can use these try on socks in stores. you can buy 100pc for around 9 euro. help you slip in in tiny shoes and you can leave them on without feeling them!

[@that_luke_guy]

“Bring a plastic bag” Climbers will do anything to not wear socks in their climbing shoes 😂

[@andreasb5354]

Tipps are great

[@louisluckwell2028]

Great format!!!

[@joolsgrommers1466]

Good useful video, would also work with outdoor problems..

[@NWRinehart]

Need more of this!

[@mentorrrr]

Enjoyed this, working towards my first V8(+) hopefully some of these tips can help!

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Cheers mate! Good luck with it

[@joshuawhere]

I've got two climbs at my own gym where I think the tips regarding momentum and slopers might help, so I appreciate that. I'm lead climbing not bouldering but I would think that everything here still applies, I'll see if I can use these ideas next time I go climbing in a couple days.

[@Miles26545]

Did you get it?

[@joshuawhere]

@@Miles26545 I didn't, no, but I did make some progress. With the dynamic move I ended up finding a spot where I could put my foot to help with the move and with that foothold it's more of a deadpoint than a full dyno. I made the move that way but there's still more to figure out. Regarding the sloper climb, I made some progress earlier in the climb (before the slopers) but not much at the slopers. Possibly I could engage my core a bit more at those places, but not sure really. I was thinking of the advice regarding hips while I was up there, but I don't think I could have gotten my hips in any closer. That being said, I might try some different body positions to see if maybe turning in a different direction could allow me to use this idea better. Anyway, this week, sadly, I'm sick, so taking some time off from climbing until it's over :(

[@danielpicon8012]

This was nice

[@BoulderingHighlights]

Do one with coordination climbing styles!

[@samo270]

Thank you

[@riesenpurzel]

definitely want more :)

[@olander0808]

Tack för beta-tipsen 😆

[@iliatsvetkov8242]

Pretty good one 😀🔥

[@YaddleGaming]

I want to try the Mad Rock drone, but no store near me has them to try on. I currently use Solution Comp LV, do you think the Drones fit the same foor shape, and how do the sizes differ?

[@ve55]

loved the tips ❤

[@rickysmalldicky2319]

damn emil u makin me wake up early to get my daily climbing tips now haha

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

haha well, I hope they'll give you something though!

[@Nyitemare]

This was super helpful

[@tadeasulrich2946]

Awesome video, thanks

[@EKdlwoasred]

Love that you took the bag top from ondra. But you could have given him a shout out. (Not that he needs one being the goat)

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Oh, I didn't realise he'd mentioned it! Which is surprising seeing as I've watched the vast majority of his videos...

[@e15364]

10/10 Drawing at 11:17 🤣🤣

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

I'm embarrassed to admit how long those took to make....

[@zephid1868]

liked it the format

[@maze3086]

rlly nice video! i just started going to the gym alot and i am looking for a training pln to complement my climbing

[@Greesher]

Amazing vid! Every tip was amazing except I will never ever put plastic bags on my feet before my climbing shoes. I don’t wanna imagine the sweat and smell trapped in the bag! 😂😭

[@dunavanjanzen-morris5245]

great vid!

[@alexvila6611]

My feedback => This is great.

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

Always loving tips! Do you have something for skin management? I notice than with comp-style boulders you're sliding much more with the hands on the friction. How often do you suggest to practice them?

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

I do and I don't, because we all have quite unique skin so everyone has to figure out what works for themselves. I have very sweaty hands and feet, so what I do is literally cover my hands in antihydral (intense anti-sweat thing) two days before I do comps or want to perform, and that works great for me. Others have to moisturize instead :P I'd suggest being careful on boulders that shred more skin and focus on comp blocs that lets you control your grip more! Slabs, feet-intense coordination dynos etc. In comps when there are powerful compression-style blocs on glas fiber volumes I stay pretty strict to not giving it too many attempts, since that will ruin me for the rest of the climbs.

[@TheValinov]

realy? plastic bags??? how about socks? or if you hate them so much, maybe the fusion of both - nylon socks. you get them in most shoe stores for testing shoes, right?

[@Snikwald]

Wonderful tips, especially last one! I have a question for you - after bad twisted ankle (and few months off the wall) two years ago I have issues with committing to horizontal or downward dynos. Do you have any advice to combat this? Greetings from Poland and tack så mycket!

[@zacharylaschober]

Frequency is more important than volume, start small and make variations in the movement rather than bigger movements, recognize this is not a linear process, despite being low energy you adapt to coordination and mental efforts better when rested thus early in a session is great, and recognize progress even if it is one more attempt or an easier time making an attempt or steadier breath after or willingness to attempt with a crowd and such. Plus, be kind to yourself. Movement patterns with both technical and mental aspects take drastically different times for everyone.

[@Snikwald]

@@zacharylaschober thank you! Worth consideratuon for sure:) Mental state is surely underestimated aspect, myself being guilty of it aswell.

[@Vitakraft911]

Great video! Do you have any clue when the MadRock Drone CS will be available in Europe?

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

I have a clue but can't say with certainty. I've heard the order is due in May, so around then we can expect it I believe :-)

[@Vitakraft911]

@@EmilAbrahamsson Tyvm for the estimate! Can't wait to try those shoes. I love den Drone and RedLine.

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

@@Vitakraft911 nice, the cs is like a shoe that takes all the best of both those shoes into one imo

[@PflaumenaugustGmBH]

@@EmilAbrahamsson did you face any quality issues with the drones? Had 2 pairs beginning of last year and both showed delamination between the sole and the upper. I really like the shoes but quality was way behind what I have used before.

[@SnikenCS]

Question: I've been wanting to buy those madrock shoes, and my current Scarpa Dragos, i went down 2 sizes and it took a good while to walk them in. How are the madrock shoes you think in comparison? Do i still go 2 sizes down and hope they fit eventually?

[@zacharylaschober]

Drones won’t stretch as much as Dragos and the sizing is usually about a size and a half up from the Scarpa Performance line from what I last remember, however I do wear my Dragos 3.5 sizes small which is not a heavily compressed fit for an easier time volume smearing.

[@SnikenCS]

@@zacharylaschober so if my size is EU 42 for dragos, you'd go with 43,5 for drones? Street shoe size = 44

[@zacharylaschober]

@@SnikenCS yes in theory, in practice I would say you probably want a full US size down from your street shoe size. I think your Dragos are comparatively big so the math doesn’t work exactly.

[@SnikenCS]

@@zacharylaschober right, after a couple of months they're actually still very tight infront, but the heel is so loosey-goosey. Aight, I'll follow your advice and just order them, they look so fkn good :D
