Amateur climbers vs Pro GB Climbing strength test

[@liisasydanmetsa1804]

Loved this! Would be so interesting to do one of these assessments. I agree with Robbie - I would love to hear more about the results and also some insights from the assessment of your movement on the wall. You mentioned that you became aware of habits/movement patterns that you have developed, and would be keen to hear more about these!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Great suggestion! I'll try to think of the best way to share a more in depth look at the results and talk a little more about the things that it made me more aware of! :)

[@KarlJean_B]

I'm addicted to this kinf of content! As many others, I would love to hear more about your results! Awesome video ;)

[@Raxi1218]

Would love to watch/hear more about your results! Really interested to if there were results that surprised you or Nathan. Great video!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks for the idea! I'll think of a cool way to share the results/ insights in more depth!

[@stevencrudgington374]

Great video. Awesome to see how professional athletes are profiled 👌

[@SendEdition]

Very cool to see you both go through those tests, especially the ab test! Thanks for sharing and good luck with getting back to the gym :)

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you! We’ve loved being back so far but the endurance is definitely suffering. Really glad you enjoyed the video. 😀

[@toquadeful]

Nice video! Just adding something in the comment as this mistake appears multiple times in the video : sports French grades don't take capital/majuscule letters and bouldering fontainebleau grades don't have small/minuscule letters. So if you read "6c" you know you are talking about a sports route and if you read 6C you know you are reading about a boulder problem.

This is such valuable content! Thank you so much for sharing Hannah but especially, thank you to coach Be for sharing the assessment itself -- I was just wondering how best to track my mobility progress! I'll probably add something related to high stepping but the squats to get the hips (and ankles) already.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you Lara! Be is great and I’m glad she was helpful in her explanations. Good question! I’ll have to ask her myself !

[@andy-moss]

Really cool and interesting video! Finding strengths and weaknesses are always helpful. I like how this test went through everything like actual climbing, mobility, and strength Be seems cool too!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

She’s great! Super knowledgeable. Definitely. Always great to identify some easy wins and things to work on longer term. Thanks for watching!

[@ivanaulicna2733]

These are some amazing measurements. I am continuously impressed by coach B. Thanks!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

She’s amazing! :)

[@fredPods]

Such high quality videos, love it!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks so much Fredrik!

[@dangryder6050]

Be seems like she'd be great to work with. Her question of what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your goals is really thought provoking.

[@rhettetherington1351]

A really great video Hannah.very interesting. Be great to see more about your results and how you use them to improve.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks so much! 😊 I'll try to think of the best way to share a more in depth look at the results.

[@yogaforclimberswithievaluna]

I enjoyed this video a lot, Hannah! Also, I would absolutely love to do this test myself!!! 🤩

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

You should! It was great for identifying some weaknesses and I definitely feel psyched to train harder. :)

[@abhisheksuri5618]

Great video Hannah. Keep making more videos

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you liked it!

[@zacharylaschober]

Think what separates the strong from the capable in climbing is success in the isometric overcoming tests, the capacity to pull with the intent of movement but without the possibility. Especially the repeater sets where folks pace themselves because telling yourself to pull maximally on the ground is hard.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Its the first time we've done pull strength tests on the fingerboard as opposed to hang tests so it was super interesting. Also really interesting like you said to pace max efforts on the repeaters. Definitely lots of room for improvement!

[@CourtneyWarren]

Really interesting! You both had a some great results!!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you found it interesting. It was a great process! ☺️

[@aidanloeser4890]

So useful! Thank you!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you liked it!

[@LOCKCOVER]

Awesome video, can't wait to see some new indoor climbing vids 💖

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you! Really excited to film and upload some new bouldering projects 😀

[@MythAvatar]

Hannah, any chance you'd be able to give a list of all the tests conducted and a scoring system so we can try at home?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Hi, I'll try and condense it into a post on my blog so you can do the tests too!

[@MythAvatar]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering Thanks!!!! Where does one find your blog?

[@ReaperUnreal]

Really interesting, thanks!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you liked it! It was a great experience.

[@veronikalaskova4716]

what grading system are you using by the way? video says sport 7b+/7b, but not which scale.

[@jojolewis8533]

This was absolutely fascinating and chock full of epic try hard faces. Great job, both of you!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Haha lots of grimacing! Thanks - really glad you found it interesting! :)

[@alejand5]

So what grades should you two be climbing? Saw a different grade for each test but no final result

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

We didn't get an overall grade, it changed with the tests depending on where our strengths and weaknesses lay! I guess depending on the style of climb we were going for, we'd be more or less capable and the test kind of brought that out I think!

[@MiguelClimbs]

Nathan, you rocked those tests man! You're ready to climb v10s. Great vid Hannah, quite enjoyed the expertise from Be.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you enjoyed it! Be is super knowledgable and motivating. Super grateful for her time and thoroughness! :)

[@crispycrimps865]

Does Be do any online coaching?

[@jn42541]

suuuper cool video

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you!

[@richardbradley1532]

Mobility test? Pretty sure I would fail miserably on that one.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Right?! It’s definitely something I’ve overlooked as an area for improvement! Loosening up my ankles doesn’t have quite the same appeal as other training stuff, somehow!

[@richardbradley1532]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering all counts though. I really need to work on it.

[@midnull6009]

OMG I'd fail every single one of these!!! :O

[@bear5197]

Heyy I've been there, such nice people!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

it's such a friendly gym! :)

[@bumckfszful]

Be comes from Beatrice?

[@popolynn2]

according to this I should be climbing v12 or something
