A COMPLETE Guide to CLIMBING MOVEMENT AND TECHNIQUE

[@wiplovel]

What a thorough and interesting list/demonstration of items. I didn’t realize a lot of these “moves” had actual words! Thank you for this. Keep these instructional videos coming. There is so much people can learn from your expertise!!!!

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Haha yay! Thank you we will definitely make more!

Pin thiiiiis please

[@travisclark9282]

You missed Shoulder Buster at around 6:01

[@ArchibaldVonSkip]

Jumping into the next scene made me smile instantly. :) I hope this video becomes to go-to for newer climbers to learn the principles behind basic and intermediate movement! Thumbdercling is a genius term and I'm ashamed I never thought of it before.

[@richardsonsclimbing]

😅😅 We appreciate that

[@tony-gx7rt]

this is very informative to a noob like me , instead of relying on raw strength

[@noo-sho8500]

I can only imagine how much work this video took. Hope you had fun! Amazing work. Cheers

[@jc6333]

Really appreciate the amazing transitions. And great contents too.

[@richardsonsclimbing]

♥️♥️

[@ernieverse9124]

Perfect. After watching countless introductory videos I think I am an expert at this now. Now I gotta go and try it for the first time

[@saurabhchopra4479]

Haha

[@ShoppingEagle13]

You’re super strong, the video is super informative (after years, I didn’t know that move was called a drive-by), loved the enthusiastic jump in/jump out transitions, and (sorry for being bold) you’re hella cute. Thx for the awesome video!! Keep it up!

[@My_Melody_Wonderland]

This is the most informative introduction for the moves. Great for beginners like me to get a quick understanding of what’s going on on the wall!

[@Sunshine-mj2pf]

Love this video! The thumb-dercling is insane!

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Right?!

[@abyzdoof8821]

Absolutely fantastic summary. Super consise and any new terms became familiar immediately. Surprised heel hooks, drop knees, and other leg-specific techniques weren't included. I feel like I've done houdini matches for footholds as well. It's clear the person in this video is a professional and would have so much more to share on footwork alone. I would love to see a campus equivalent for footwork and how to build up my technique to something so impressive. Thank you for the amazing upload regardless!

[@richardsonsclimbing]

I’m glad you like it! We actually have a footwork-only video on our channel as well that goes through everything in a similar manner :)

[@yercules]

Your guides are so clean and straight to the point, which is very useful! I'm missing the pogo and laché though!

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Haha you’ll have to look at the footwork guide for those!

[@yercules]

@@richardsonsclimbing Ah yes, moon kick, my bad! I can't find the laché though

[@richardsonsclimbing]

You’re right I did miss that one! I plan to make a dynamic moves video that will cover it!

[@ArchibaldVonSkip]

@@richardsonsclimbing There is a lâché at 11:04, actually :)

[@lemonaut1]

6:30 was NOT expecting that high of a jump oh my

[@Łucja1-k1s]

I gasped😊

[@Th0rodin]

This is super helpful for me with just a few months of climbing experience. I will definitely try some of these out today 😊

[@RM-xq7gf]

this video is actually gold, will be showing this to every new person i get into climbing!!

[@richardsonsclimbing]

😅

[@dizietz]

Wow you covered almost everything there is! I'd love to see your perspective on practicing step up dynos and also possibly coordination moves where you are not going for a jug but land in a mantle / toe hook position!

[@GucciFeet]

Im doing this V4 mooboard called white rose and the first part is killing me! Thanks for your Rose tip! Ill put it into action soon!

[@cojabr]

Great video - thanks! I like how straight forward your videos are.

[@usershilov]

I started last January and am hoping to get my first v10 by the end of the year. I'm projecting "Hodor!!" on the tension board. Only 8 days left smh. Hopefully this video will get me there.

[@harryfischer302]

Very informative. I learn so much from watching your videos.😊

[@Evyanaf]

That was absolutely fantastic, I’m definitely bookmarking it. Thanks!

[@mohammed9021]

Loving this series Maddie, well done!🔥

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Thank you 😊

[@TheKeybladeKeeper]

As a beginner trying to break into intermediate it's nice to see a list of what skills I should work on. Especially when watching a lot of advanced climbers for motivation lol

[@reinforcehookahplz]

Great, informative break down. Straight to the point and easy to digest

[@giuliaportelinha7798]

I'm going on my first ever climb in a few hours. I'll try to use some of your tips, so I don't embarrassed myself too much, thank you! (Honestly, just hoping I can do at least the ones for children, that's my goal)

[@certaindeath7776]

nice video, will add it to my favourites to come back on it several times, when i get better :) and whow you are strong, that dyno was awesome.

[@TheTexican05]

The strength of this girl’s shoulder joints is off the charts! Several of these movements would make an orthopedic surgeon cringe. 😬 👀 You clearly know what you’re doing, and it was equal parts helpful and amazing to watch. 🍻 Thanks for putting these videos together.

[@sweetpotato3117]

This is amazing I’m so surprised it’s not more popular

[@jonettang]

Very nice and comprehensive video. There is a missed technique: stemming. I like thumbing especially a thumb crimp or a thumb mantel.

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Yes!! As soon as I posted the video I remembered stemming 🥲

[@0xpbek]

Wow. Enlightening compendium on all the moves! Thank you very much! But it was hard to watch because I couldn't get my eyes away of those beautiful lat/back muscles of Maddie! 😆

[@amandajchan]

Oooh I've never thought of a Shadow match until now, keen to try it out! Thanks for such a comprehensive video!

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@maldjia]

Wow, that's an informative one! Thanks!

[@janbaan4024]

I really love the transitions

[@aridavidpaul]

Great video, clear, concise, great info with no "noise."

[@ManuelOctavio]

1) super informative video, thanks! 2) I AGREE, the transitions were super fun to watch :)

[@richardsonsclimbing]

😅😅🙏🙏

[@Acetatemonkey]

Just subscribed. Fab video(s)- comprehensive, concise, clear and great presentation format. Ta!

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@flwi]

That's a great video! Well done! You're very good at demonstrating the different techniques.

[@robdb1993]

Awesome video for new move ideas thank you !

[@timothyng753]

Love the content, hope you both are well!

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Thanks Tim 😀

[@simeoncheshmedjiev-shraik4719]

Wow, that is actually an amazing video, thank you!

[@dome7415]

thanks for the tips! had no idea some moves had actually a name xD btw love the video style and cuts gj

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Glad you enjoyed!

Super nice, what I was looking for

[@martinng6260]

Thank you for the amazing intro. I learnt a lot from it!!!

[@ndubiel4928]

Awesome!! (Missing a figure four though 😞)

[@MarianaSantos-lx8mo]

best video to show different techniques!!

[@RandallJones]

Fully awesome, thanks!

[@glennis12345]

Great video! Can you also cover toe hooks, heel hooks and coordi moves as well?

[@richardsonsclimbing]

That’s in our footwork video but we will absolutely go more in depth on those moves in future videos too!

[@ArsiekDHOL]

this video is perfect!!! not to long (I lose concentration so easy lol) and still everything is well explained!! PERFECT boulder tutorial!!! can you do a flagging tutorial? :D :D

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Haha yay that’s great to hear! Yes - I’ll make a note to incorporate flagging into a future video :)

[@draganandrei5356]

More advanced moves: - figure four - bat hang - cartwheel Great video!

[@SatraKien]

This was incredibly helpful and well put together

[@karstdeviz3858]

this is actually a really great list of moves!

[@ijenboyboy7438]

This video is absolutely goated.

[@MrSuperbia]

That dyno was ridiculously effortless and smooth.

[@yohmsaw]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@Glenners]

Sick transitions!

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Haha thanks ☺️

[@remrem3000]

You need to restock the Chicken chalk bucket. Pleeeease. I was too slow ordering it and now it's sold out.

[@Lunatic-Beleren]

any suggestions on how fast are fingers getting used to climbling? its annoying pain whenever i have to grab open or turn on with fingers im reminded about my session 1-2 days ago :D i do around 2-3hours climbing till im dead ( i am climbing 7th time in my life but im bodyweight atlethe so my muscles and mobility is great but fingers are not used to this kind of preassure. btw great video thanks and cheers from SLOVAKIA :D

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Yeah great question! Finger strength takes a while to build. I’d say it’ll be at least a year until your fingers are strong enough for things like hangboard and long sessions. I wouldn’t push it at the gym quite yet!

[@robinrebiere5570]

Is it ok to use the screw holes on the wall ? A bit like the mono at the end

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Screw holes are allowed on holds and volumes, but not on the wall - that is, if you want to follow IFSC rules!

[@robinrebiere5570]

Ok thanks a lot !

[@boltup5566]

I wish you did drop knees and different types of flagging.

[@richardsonsclimbing]

That’s in our footwork video!

[@boltup5566]

@@richardsonsclimbing ok found it thanks. On a different note, please do an advice video for kids! There's hardly any content for kids and kids competition climbing advice. Should kids hang board? Should they work out? How much is too much? What level should a 12 year old climb at?

[@richardsonsclimbing]

That’s a great idea! We get a fair amount of comments about kids’ training so that would probably fit in nicely with our content!

[@bowmanclimbing7802]

I would also add backsteps, knee drops, front/back/side flags, toe hooks, heel hooks

[@richardsonsclimbing]

All of the footwork technique is in another video on our channel!

[@bowmanclimbing7802]

Ah cool. I missed that. I'll check it out, thanks!

[@deilema]

Will you please make a bathang tutorial? 🥺

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Coming up on Sunday!

[@Gamer27983]

Bravo! 👏

[@Jeraestone]

What about some warm up excercises Strength building for Beginers ? 🤟

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Definitely on the to-do list for videos!

[@firefirefire8]

great!

[@kxyz1588]

really thorough - thank you!

[@smithydrunkman8604]

damn the back muscles

[@criswithnoh6964]

not gonna lie, I've been climbing for 1 year this month and even I didn't know about the full crimp! Kind of shocked I've climbed this long without using my thumbing for crimps

[@richardsonsclimbing]

😅😅😅

[@XenoX101]

Good video, just one point, your deadpoint description isn't exactly right. A deadpoint is where you move your hips towards a hold as you reach for it, and then catch the hold right before you fall so as to maximise your reach. It is like a dyno but with only one arm. Others also mentioned that toe hook / heel hook moves weren't mentioned. Otherwise everything else seemed spot on.

[@richardsonsclimbing]

That’s a great point! I reserved lower body/footwork technique for our footwork-only video!

[@christophertolosa7142]

Why no heel hooks or toe hooks those are super important.

[@richardsonsclimbing]

That’s in our footwork video!

[@vladgaedel8521]

kinda missing hooks and kneedrops and other fancy foot and hip movement

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Haha yes that’s saved for our footwork only video!

[@vladgaedel8521]

@@richardsonsclimbing thank you, found it

[@kanoaallas1569]

pocket and pinch?

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Yeah we will cover more techniques eventually for sure!

[@alexpalsater7983]

10:25 out of context or to a non climber haha

[@togglerunner]

My thoughts exactly

[@happytreefriend115]

Nice Video, but one point of critique: a full crimp might be "secure" in terms of being able to hold on, but is not secure in a health related manner for the ligaments because it puts way more stress on your fingers. Good that you only recommend the half crimp and open hand position, but maybe it should also be stated why the full crimp is not recommended. Hoopers Beta did a short and informative video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6fJenSAl8yqnbM

[@scheong78]

This video is missing figure 4 and flagging

[@FishSticker]

6:37 why the fuck is there a baby’s head on your wall

The mono made me cringe

Yeah bolt hole beta is very unaesthetic. I steadfastly refuse to use it 😤

Very useful, thank you
