Bouldering Progression Series - Novice | V0, V1

[@SendStory]

I really like how articulate you are and how well you explain both complex and simple concepts. Even though I knew everything in this video, I still watched it all the way through. Thanks for the great content.

[@Skeleyawn]

I second this statement.

[@theholyseal]

I agree ! I really appreciate the presentation, too. It's calm & chill, well articulated.

[@theoamvr]

Can't wait for V4-6!

[@jasper374]

Same! Probably like 80% of this channel

[@RM-nf5eq]

Exactly what i'm here for! can't wait!

[@maximedelmas]

Exactly the same here, even though I'm also interested in the v0-4 tips too, because I might be missing some parts elements.

[@brotherpine7867]

that v6 plateu

[@ucshyguy88]

Love how you explain the concepts! As a newer climber, I definitely am having difficulties using my legs rather than powering through with my arms. Still trying to wrap my head around it whenever I do climb.

[@jonathonjollota8661]

Your voice is basically asmr. A calm experience where climbing just sinks into your soul

[@shawmedia229]

Thank you so much! I'm a beginner and learned the importance of straight arms earlier today. This video reinforced it beautifully.

[@TheLocalsOnlyPodcast]

One of the best videos I’ve seen in a very long time. You’re gonna be one of the best KZbin channels for learning climbing. Keep this format and art style and you will go *very far*. Thank you for posting this.

[@nicholasaguilar4255]

Just got back into climbing, this was a great video. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@ejl74]

I Just climbed my first V4 yesterday. It was so exciting. Thanks for the info!!

[@Patrick-vt2zo]

I've been climbing for about 2 years total, but took a year long break due to many circumstances. I've been wanting to not only get back into rock climbing, but relearn from a beginner's point of view because I'm sure (especially after watching this video) that I developed some bad habits. Many people are saying it, but I really do love the format--it's concise, it's easy to watch and listen to, and positive. Thank you for your videos!

[@chronosmagia]

I hope you talk about plateau’s. I feel like a lot of people who watch this channel reach a plateau around V6-V7, that’s where I’m at anyways.

[@movementforclimbers]

Just had a conversation with my friend about this at the gym the other day. Will definitely share some insight in a future video!

[@vanillavonchivalry6657]

Watch Dave McLeod's videos. He talks about how he was plateaued for years and years at that level, and then he began a very regular hangboard and campus routine, he's doing V15's in his late 40's now.

[@saoirsesuchil2249]

While I've been climbing a while, I listen to all his content because his voice is soothing, and he's teaching some amazing stuff. HE IS THE KING

[@nicholascherry5962]

I'm getting fired up watching this. I'm toking up before my first day climbing indoors. Hella pumped

[@hollymarie3216]

This episode is FANTASTIC! I wish I had seen this when I started climbing 1.5 years ago. So excited for your series progression. Honestly, this first episode is unparalleled! Please keep the great content coming!

[@MooMooManist]

I'm so happy you decided to do this series! I'm currently at V4 and I feel like I could use some tips.

[@Tam3n]

Yes same. Progression up to V4 was fast but then slowed down greatly. Though I don't think there's a silver bullet :)

[@scottmason1937]

@@Tam3n I'm hoping there is! 😉

[@ejl74]

I climbed my first V4 yesterday. So ready to get to V5 soon.

[@MooMooManist]

@@ejl74 Congrats! I'm sure you'll get a V5 soon.

[@maximedelmas]

As a climbing coach once said, you need the right technique to climb, enough strength to use it, and the mindset to pull it off. Work on these three parts.

[@DanielSpiegel]

Fantastic introduction for new climbers. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@BuzzLiteBeer]

Already a huge fan of this channel (intelligent content, good production, structured). I'm a V2 climber and really wished I had more structure in my learning; this channel does exactly that for me.

[@AJJ_Bros]

You give great explanations. Can you do a climbing analysis series where people send in video!!!! Please. Please. Please.

[@rogero8443]

This video makes me so pumped to go back to the climbing gym!!!!! After going once, I can visualize better what you're saying in climbing vids. I'll go a bunch more and look at this a few others again. Thank you!!!!!

[@docholliday8238]

Just started about a month ago now and trying to get into v3’s consistently. This video was great, I learned a lot. Can’t wait for more!

[@nxtwomenfan497]

I gave bouldering my very first try yesterday and by now watching this video, can already identify numerous things I need to learn and practice. I'm planning to watch this video many times to get the hang of things, as I practice on VB's and V0's for a while. Thank you for the great video and easy-to-follow instructions.

[@sharingmatters]

I like the smooth moves of the climber. Very precise tutorial without too much talking :)

[@iMaDeMoN2012]

Although the terms novice and beginner are synonymous if I were to make a ranking I would place beginner before novice. The term beginner implies the absolute beginning of a journey whereas novice is a bit ambiguous and in common usage it is a person that is new to a profession. Beginner | V0, V1; Novice | V2, V3.

[@jester60ify]

I ve never been in a climbing gym. The only thing i was taught by my rock climber friend and tried it out is to hold the light swich on ghe wall and search where there is a place that i can get hold on and place my toes to the verical tile which is situated between the floor and the wall. Then after taking my time to deside my nexthands move to grab from any tiles gap, or aheater tube and may be another light switch that i can grab with the edges of my fingers and hold all of my body

[@skinnypolish6701]

What a legend, always without his shirt!

[@vanillavonchivalry6657]

Your videos are very refreshing. I always come back to them and recently found that my foundational skills in climbing are quite lacking. Coming back to your videos sparked in me a totally different approach to climbing. Although I've only been climbing five months, I've gotten ahead of myself attempting V4's with way too much effort and no technique. From now on - for my first year - I'm going to only do up to V3, and focus most of my climbing on V0 - V2, going slowly, methodically, calculated. As much as my muscles have already adapted - my soft tissues haven't... and it would be heartbreaking to injure my fingers because I became too excited about my progression. Can't wait for more of your videos. 🤙

[@judemustard]

Great video series! I love how you organise and edit your videos: you get straight to the point and explain everything clearly. I have a request/suggestion. It looks like you're climbing on walls which go 5-6 meters up! I love climbing but would much rather climb (i.e. with a rope) than boulder because I'm afraid of being injured by falling (or landing, rather!) I know many people who tore their ACL from bouldering falls, and just recently I got whiplash myself from my head bouncing off the mat when I rolled onto my back. I wonder if you could do a video about *falling* in bouldering -- how to do it safely etc, especially when you're higher up on the wall?

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

The quick solution would be to climb down some of the way (ideally the whole way). Every instructor will tell you that on day 1 of your climbing.

[@AG-yu6hi]

Nghe Phúc hát mà nước mắt rơi mãi ....quá nhiều cảm xúc ùa về, quá nhiều kỉ niệm. Cảm ơn Đức Phúc thật nhiều, giọng hát anh ấm tựa nắng mùa Thu vậy.

[@LawofMosesHere]

I really appreciate this content as a new climber. Thank you 🎉

[@drummingtildeath]

I've been bouldering four times and I'm really enjoying it but I just went to build my lad's confidence. I'm learning that I've been doing literally everything wrong but despite that I'm really enjoying it. I'm going to buy some shoes and chalk and try to out these great tips into practice!

[@FuegoPiqante]

Haha same here. Bend arm gang, looking for holds in the middle of a problem and using as much energy for every problem as humanly possible REPRESENT! Awesome vid though, can't wait for my next climb!

[@konverso]

I already love this series.

[@joshsalas3186]

Right? It's kind of hard to find climbing instruction delivered in a clear and concise way. I love how it's not 15 minutes.

[@redvill616]

I'm new to climbing and your videos are really helpful! Thanks for making them. :) You explain everything clearly and with a calm voice. Looking forward to more uploads for biginners!

[@Dwiggy4444]

This is awesome stuff. I’m a new climber and pretty much everything you’ve shared here made me say, “Ah ha! I need to try that!” Thank you!

[@clarence-theregularcat7708]

While climbing with long arms is of course correct it might be worth mentioning that it is still important to engage the shoulderblades during climbing. they will support the movement and prevent the development of a climbers back and bad posture.

[@projectone1022]

Very clear examples of what skills are necessary for each level, love the way you explain each function of the body on the wall

[@MinnieYHM]

This video is great and very insightful to me! I like how you explain the reason behind certain choices when climbing. Look forward to more videos in this series.

[@gary5926]

Excellent idea for a series, looking forward to the follow on videos

[@malakai5532]

I'm trying to get some friends into climbing and I don't quite know where to start for them. I can now send them this video to orient them better now, thanks

[@QuincelSC]

Booked for my first session at my local wall next week and watching a few videos to know what to expect. This is stunningly clear and helpful, thank you so much!

[@thenativebrookie]

Totally the best explanation of basic route reading

[@CamWilliamsonOfficial44]

Love this intro to climbing. Hitting my first day on the wall and I feel way more prepared now! Thank you

[@enochlove]

Awesome video! I've been climbing regularly since Christmas and this was super helpful. This has been my favorite climbing channel on KZbin

[@woolypuffin392]

OMG finally someone who explains the different V stages! THANK you so much! Feel hugged 🤗

[@vincenthyde502]

Thank you for this. As a very new climber, it was very helpful and well articulated and I hope I can put some of these moves into practice next time I'm on the wall.

[@anastasiia9511]

Thank you for the high quality content! I am a beginner (I've been climbing for about half a year) and I'm really looking forward to the next videos of the series.

[@ainana9472]

I like the ending jump!

[@apiyutsiyapan9582]

Very well-paced explanation. Appreciated it.

[@lucasferrell7793]

Homerun idea, this is! Thanks for putting this out. Pure greatness.

Nice video. Can't wait for v5-v6! And keep up the good work with the channel, your videos are amazing!

[@craftyg2761]

Really liked this video! Keep intro videos coming please! Straight arm, body torque, shpulder movement, foot positioning etc

[@donalddarko3676]

Thanks was extremely helpful. I began my climbing journey one week ago and intend to go back to my local next week with my own shoes and some chalk.

[@mnpstudios6777]

Oh. This is so very, very good. Thank you so much for making great videos in general but especially for this new series. Can't wait for the rest. Keep up the good work! :)

[@k07385]

hello, happy new year! ive been climbing for about a year now but this was a great video to watch, it helped reinforce the basics of climbing to me :) excited for the rest of the bouldering series videos!

[@benwilliams8924]

These videos are so demonstrative and easy to comprehend. Thank you :)

[@Toadslop]

Hope you keep making videos. This was really helpful.

[@JamesCT153]

Love your explanations. Chill as ever man looking forward to the rest of the series! Much respect.

[@davidrousseau100]

Most of this seems pretty instiustic but I gotta say that the climbing with straight arms tip is SUPER useful!!

[@miriamth7082]

Love this! I'm so excited to see more from this series!

[@ckokomo808]

Wonderful video. Concise and informative. Just started climbing and can physically handle some “tougher” grades but want to focus on developing good habits. Thanks!!!

[@petitsjoujoux5011]

I don't even climb, but I appreciate your video. You've explained it so well!

[@hiperson641]

@movement for climbers if you ever find yourself out of work, maybe try finding work at NPR or something, your voice is soothing af

gunna try going to a rock climbing gym this weekend. pretty excited thank u for the video! v insightful, cant wait to try it out.

[@philyskes3727]

[@Davepacheco1986]

This was perfect. Thanks for making these.

[@peteoneill3351]

Thanks for your efforts and very much appreciated.

[@cluerip]

I don't climb at this level but still watched the full video. I had never heard of T-Rexing and it is something I think I avoided but I will now be more conscious of. Can't wait for the higher grades. I'm currently around v4-v5 and 5.10-5.10+ but lacking a person to teach me better technique in the gym. My largest struggle is with slopers, but mostly the larger kind. The ones that you can easily fit a fully spread out hand on. I've been doing slab bouldering to try and focus on foot placement and being able to trust standing on smaller chips. Hopefully that helps with my all around climbing skill.

[@sonepanchin2248]

[@Squeech77]

I'm new to climbing and your videos are helping me a lot. I just wanted to let you know this video is not in your bouldering progression series playlist!

[@obsidiandrache2097]

Even though i can climb above v0-1 it helped me a lot, since i was trying to climb with straight arms, but often not using my legs as much as i could have. Ill try to change that for my next time in the gym Great video

[@emperorsascharoni9577]

If this video is for beginners how to safely fall and descend might be a quick and useful thing to add.

[@mikegustafson6679]

Nicely done, looking forward to this series!

thank you so much! I wanted to try climbing but I was seriously scared of the technique, I didn't understand anything ): but your video make everything clear!

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

Sounds like great advice!

[@cressy240]

Such a cool series!

[@benmace6865]

One KEY thing which better climbers forget to teach absolute novices, but which is a vital technique is this: Whichever hand you want to let go with, you must get your weight over that foot FIRST!! For instance if you want to reach up with your right hand, first you must get your weight over your right foot. Otherwise you'll over balance and swing off the wall. Once you gain more experience there are other more technical ways to overcome this, but for absolute novice climbers think "Left foot, left hand....right foot, right hand. Or Left, left.... right, right...left, left...right, right... Watch any climbing video carefully and you'll see this pattern almost immediately.
