How to CLIMB HARDER || CLIMBING TACTICS

[@henrikwolf672]

Route reading with Tom: Oh, I didn't spot that hold before...

[@lawrencetchen]

Cool, but where is Tom's hour-long tutorial on how to honk like a goose??

[@driklol]

If I'm trying a new climb that I find particularly hard and I find myself getting in a negative loop (missing because of something silly a few times in a row or getting frustrated) I tend to go climb a couple things that I find much easier for a little morale boost and to re-warmup so to speak. Works great for me, doesn't mean I'll send when I go back to my project but I tend to feel a lot more mentally refreshed which really helps.

[@PhysicsITGuy]

Another great tip is to just go up. I find that when I move upwards, I have a better chance of completing a route.

[@reefleschmeek4226]

Yeah that usually works, but personally I find this method to be less effective on traverse routes.

[@Svm8250]

My first day at the climbing gym a guy gave me the best advice: grab hard and don't fall off

[@joe_3y3s]

@@Svm8250 yeah but don't grab too hard! Over gripping is a waste of energy

[@rowanthomas9181]

Jan Krueck | Fotografie yep def have that problem. I’m a 70 F EU size. Sometimes I seriously have to squish my boob(s) to get though a move

[@mayawitters]

Great vid! I would love to see a specific video on big overhangs and roofs, what to do different on them, body position etc. I know everyone always says 'tighten your core', but that's hella unspecific and I really struggle with anything overhanging. And also an 'outdoor climbing for dummies' please!

[@mayawitters]

Also - audio is so much better! Great work!

[@OrriG]

Really good tips. As a really short lady climber, I find that playing with my feet can be extremely helpful. Throwing a heel or toe hook, or playing with a high foot may give me that extra reach. If I am having a lot of trouble with specific moves I will try to do the move backwards. It seems to help me figure out body position or exactly where I should have my feet.

[@PookyH]

That's a really cool tip. I never thought of trying a move backwards! Thanks Orri from a fellow female shorty..

[@barnaby_moore]

Yes more climbing 101!

[@borysvengerov3398]

Another good tip to solve a route you're having troubles with is to ask a more experienced climber in your group to do it. Lot of times you can do all the moves individually, but inefficiently, so you lose energy and fail the crux (or even the top...). Watching a guru do it really, really helps!

[@Owmarsh12]

A good tip I’ve used is if you are unsure of where on a hold to aim to grab, climb up to it and do some experimenting with angles and spots. Defined helps me

[@Rdenver08]

good tutorial for people who try things and move on to another climb too quick. learn the moves and apply them. Be persistent and send.

[@theByrdsfan1]

A video on what training you do while not climbing would be great

[@IsaacSMILE]

Pull ups for dayz.

[@jollygood9183]

[@mrthirty1139]

Nice tips i'll keep these in mind next time. Sent a couple 6a+ routes today that i've struggled on for a week!

[@tristanstork97]

You Guys really make amazing videos Love from the Netherlands

[@robynclark6946]

Love when you guys do instructional videos!! Really helps when you’re going through a plateau!

[@Fairdrain]

Having the right mindset is such a golden bonus tip. Like most things, you're going to start being shit at it, if you're pissed or stressed. Take a couple of breaths before you start the climb and everything usually works out. Maybe. Probably be not. But it's fun, right?

[@TSANOOvlogs]

This video comes in right on time. Did my first V6 last week and I'm trying for another one. Feeling confident! Thanks Bobat :)

[@jacob8565]

Can do a proper video on spotting

[@hydra66]

If you dont mind me plugging a different youtuber, stick 'Beginner's Guide to Outdoor Bouldering' into youtube

[@marcus_berdaut]

MY MAN!!! Big up bringing back the 101s!

[@jester60ify]

Back in the early days of 1980 when i was also young I was amazed when a rock climber coleege showed some photos of him climbing and when i told him that i liked a photo he told me that i hold the paper the upside down and i then realised that he was climbing with his back of the body facing the ground in an absolutely horizontal state just as you tried to do here.

[@wadball]

best climbing channel by far! both in terms of content and entertainment value!

[@PierreOupa]

Loving these 101 videos guys, thanks for your work. Cheers from France 🍾

[@GavynPendleton]

Sometimes I’ll work a hard move for a while, to the point that I know it’s possible but won’t quite get it. I will then go and try from the beginning to see if I can just climb through it. This seems to help me a lot with weird dinos.

[@mariahannagrundmann2942]

I love your 101s! Super helpful!!! I'd love a video on energysaving, so how to climb without getting too tired (maybe especially for women, as we tend to have less upper body strength), or a video about climbing styles (Jake vs. Tom vs. JP vs. Holly vs. Xian) to help us viewers find someone who has a similar style to us, to learn some moves, A video on climbing moves How to dyno advanced Warmup and cooldown and stretching routines More setting videos with Jake and Holly (or whoever wants to show this skill, I love these videos) Or anything else, I'll watch whatever you upload anyways. You're one of my favourite youtubers with your helpful and positive content! ♥️

[@CityKanin]

der ganze lärm I second this wholeheartedly! Lady climber here too and i get pissed off at my slow process when looking at guys’ upper body strength...

[@emobrien1547]

the guy in the background finally got that move and im actually so happy for himmmm because he was trying hard for that

[@yellowbear6]

As a new climber I find this super useful! Have started watching loads of videos on your channel and really enjoy them. Keep up the good work guys!! Strange that Omar isn't making many jokes in this vid though haha.

[@lennertlaevaert8711]

Nice video! I'm currently working on a 6b+ for almost a month now (Only picked up climbing again recently, thanks to your videos and Magnus') The crux is really kicking my ass. I know the setter and he gave me some pointers, but I just lack the power really. I hope I can pull it off before it gets replaced ;D

[@tulli0uk]

Great vid! I'd love to see more on route reading, especially for beginners. Doing the cool moves is great, but seeing them before hand feels awesome.

[@liusaidhjohnson3532]

one thing i do, especially in competition when i don't know the grade, is i look at the route, read it then imagine myself trying it that way a few times before reading it again to see if there's anything that i've missed. after i'm 100% certain of what i'm going to do, i'll take a quick look at the crux(s) as i tie in (if i'm allowed to) then just go up it the way i had imagined.

[@christineh7589]

Been loving the tutorials guys! Been very useful in my climbing!!!

[@christineh7589]

Could you guys consider doing a tutorial on specific climbing techniques and tricks like climbing overhangs and roofs? Would much appreciate!

[@fromwindcity]

5:00 thought my doorbell was ringing thanks mr. bobat.

[@HaydnSR]

So useful, any other stuff like this would be mega!

[@xor55nop]

Great. More 101’s please :)

[@marcod4806]

Great video. Please do more of these!

[@jms547]

great video but it's maybe a bit advanced for Climbing 101 ;) I'd love to see some tutorials about proper warm-up and staying injury-free. (And/or how to recover from injuries, seeing as how this year I've gone seamlessly from a wrenched shoulder to a pulled lower back + crimptastic finger strain combo...)

[@vintagemetal]

Not to brag, but I never warm up properly and never have injuries. Just listen very, very good to your body and master the art of falling ;) You'll be fine!

[@astonw]

I think it's difficult to warm up climbing muscles without climbing. What's been recommended to me is to just do a few easier climbs to warm yourself up. Even at a professional level, the isolation zones that the climbers go to to warm up is just a bouldering wall with various different types of climbs. Also don't full crimp too often (some would say at all) for indoor climbs. You can easily ruin your tendons if you are full crimping on every climb and often they're not even necessary -- open palm is healthiest.

[@CityKanin]

Jasper, i bet you are under 30. Trust me, it pays off to learn some basic warm ups. I used to be like you. Then i turned 30 and crapped up my neck real bad. Prevention is smart.

[@jms547]

Preach it @@CityKanin! Also, can I borrow your zimmerframe, I can't remember where I put mine. ;)

[@joewinter5687]

Found out Tom use to climb at the gym I go to now. Which is Dartrock

[@mitchellm4625]

Sometimes if I get in a rut and keep making the same mistake repeatedly, I'll go climb something else and come back to that problem later. One time I couldn't climb a simple V2, climbed the rest of my session, and tried it again at the end. Sent it first try.

[@chillierdavro]

Stay chill and enjoy - good advice

[@fredrik_eglese]

Loved this, would really like more tutorials again!

[@MrReid00]

Lol Omar trying to sneak in the ‘Are you silly!? I’m still gonna send it!’

[@cedricmines4476]

Dunno if you guys did a video on how to train correctly or better said how to nor overclimb/know when you risk injury. I recently got told several times that I should restrain myself from going everyday since I went about six times a week for the past few weeks and that after only climbing for 8 months, so it'd be nice not getting shut down for 6 months Also great vid as always you guys are such a motivation :)

[@angelicxjasminez16]

when do i know to give up on a route? (ie. perhaps its really out of my skill level or i really don't have the span for it)

Is Joe going to do a video where he teaches us the Dark Side and how to channel rage into completing routes?

[@nogard8541]

How do you get over hesitancy? I was working on a V5 last month (it's gone now in my gym), and the last move was a dyno. The way it was set though, if you hit the hold and didn't hold on, you had a very awkward fall, and after falling on it several times, I would get to that last move and had trouble fully committing to it, because I was thinking about not injuring myself on the fall rather than sticking it.

[@rikvdmark]

Cool, thanks!

[@moonti6820]

Don't despair, it might take months but you'll eventually come back at climbing maybe even better than before. I injured a pully some months ago and I just accepted to forget about going climbing and I focused on going biking and other activities, training abs and push ups and by doing so I just kept the motivation high and growing.
