Jain Kim shows perfect rock climbing technique
Jain Kim shows perfect rock climbing technique in Suwon, South Korea. She demonstrates many rock climbing and bouldering techniques and makes it look effortless.
@7:45 she does a high step to avoid a high commitment move. Every other competitor went with a right foot flag on the lower hold and about %50 of them missed the move.
She tops both routes with ease. Also, she was the only one to top Womens Route B. Unfortunately I could not stay for the later rounds of the event, but she went to go on to win the event.
Jain Kim (Hangul: 김자인, born 11 September 1988) is a professional climber. She is mainly active in lead climbing and bouldering competitions. She won the Lead Climbing World Cup three times (2010, 2013, 2014), the Lead Climbing World Championship once (2014), and the Rock Master once (2010, Lead discipline).

[@Raving4ever]

I love her climbing so much. She is so chil about every move and makes close to zero mistakes. Always placing feet and hands exactly where they have to be without much readjustments. Its just awesome to see.

[@Reifenthaler]

for a non-climber like me, I almost loose the feeling für how difficult this really is. Perfection makes it all look so easy

[@akash_goel]

Which is why it says "Perfect climbing technique" :p

[@mmlemonade]

She is so graceful

[@virgilebonnaud5525]

Mmlemonade and slow

[@Mylada]

Ofc its easy when someone climbing 8c tries a route that is under 7b for sure

[@Cannonbo]

[@alisen1990]

Probably not too hard tough. 7c+/8a?

[@ThePawelekPawelek]

@@alisen19904 /5

[@Benkkuful]

@@alisen1990 There's no way that's a 7c+. Looks like a 7a. Or maybe the wall is way more overhanging than it appears from this perspective.

[@veinsofpain5621]

i wouldn't even touch that wall. will leave to experts and do my own thing. GL

[@101Vrie]

7:00 ... That was such a smooth, elegant and beautiful move. I had to replay it like 3 times.

[@millacabral9475]

101V She's very flexible on her hips and legs and pretty strong on her shoulders. A move like that takes strenght to hold steady.

[@ApiaryGaming]

Milla Cabral Really isnt that hard of a move to do, but she did make it look very fluid and elegant

[@osmark86]

Incredible

[@tho207]

riiight? 4-5 times for me and a mental note

[@krishantkumar550]

The more you climb and revisit this video, it becomes quite apparent how impeccable and precise each move is. It's brilliant, being a beginner, almost every technique I use in climbing is from watching her climb.

[@quru83]

you have no technique go climb a cow

[@bingus454]

Her clips were sloppy at times, but other than that, yeah

[@IronJohn755]

A lot of climbers complain about tall people having an unfair advantage, but this is a good example of perfect "short climbing" - she keeps a perfect center of gravity while keeping her feet and hands close together. Not just perfect technique, but great hip flexibility to stay under her hands, and use of sit-backs, drop knees, heel hooks where others would use more dynamic (and risky) moves.

[@jonkimochi1117]

7:00 that move using the toe and trusting her shoes to push her up made me wow :O

[@stefolino]

Yes , perfect hips mobility

[@peaelle42]

i like how she placed her right feet such that the balls contact the hold cause by the time she pushed herself up with her left toe smear, she would be stepping on that hold with her right toes.

[@lukasd.k.2849]

I did the same :D

[@gregguerra8509]

ham burger made you cream your panties 🤣😂🤣

[@salvadorelena9700]

That's most common than seems

[@DavidJKM]

So smooth and kind of light, she touches the holds so delicately, like they're fragile. My god she must be strong but she uses it effortlessly.

[@bizmonkey007]

David Milner “Grab the holds like they’re made out of glass” and “climb silently” - I forget where I heard these tips from (Paul Robinson might’ve said them in a Rock Entry/Geek Climber video) but both emphasize what novice climbers like myself often forget: control.

[@ismettarkgolge8388]

She climbs so smoothly, like dancing on the wall. I watch this video in slow motion over and over againg as a climbing lesson.

[@again7pyms]

Uh I did too :'D

[@Agoraphobication]

My palms are sweating just watching this. I'm a brand new climber and I can only dream of doing what this woman does - completely fearless and smooth. Beautiful to watch.

[@mreyeviewvision8708]

Agoraphobication go watch Alex honnold then your hands will Sweat

[@choongshane]

Agoraphobication hah, it gets much worse when ur actually up there, and after hearing the stories about people falling, breaking bones and having their teeth pulled out by the rope, u might as well spray water on ur hands before even starting

[@ElowenFaye]

how did you go after 1 year? :)

[@furiousmat1667]

I honestly don't get how she does that. Her technique is really fluid. It's beautiful. I've been climbing for a year now and I don't get how she can manage the strength in her hands.. Very often she just seems to be walking directly on the wall with barely any foothold but somehow all of this seems completely effortless. I tried to emulate that a few times and my hands got pumped within 10 seconds. Probably did it wrong and looked like crap doing it too :P

[@aceconcept]

I think women get used to not relying on arm strength,her foot work is very precise and overall her movement is so economical. Her dead pointing is spot on.

[@ManitheMonkey]

Cool video, she climbs so smoothly!

[@tobyg9998]

Mani, I watch your videos so often. You are such a good climber

[@91722854]

is wall climb with ropes usually more static compared to bouldering?

[@adrianmilitaru4967]

Yes, but Jain Kim tends to climb even boulders smoothly.

[@johndoe9843]

I'm not too sure but for a competition like this they count the moves to the top not the time it takes (hence the smoothness)

[@adrianmilitaru4967]

In the recent world cup there was a time limit of 6 minutes.

[@cragexplorers7355]

I've been watching Jain Kim now almost every day for more than a month. It has made me a way better technical climber! Her movements just adapts naturally for me on the wall. Nowadays I always look for a higher foot, my hip turns in automatically when it should and I can feel the difference in difficulty with those technical adjustments.

[@woolfel]

holy cow, that is impressive. no wasted movement and every move is exactly where she wants it

[@Rycamcam]

6:40 to 7:05, what a beautiful sequence of rest and technique!

[@hunterl317]

Her movement is so smooth and precise and she rarely re-adjusts after grabbing a hold or placing a foot; watching her climb gets me so psyched for ropes!!

[@py2706]

I would say that watching this video multiple times, and studying her technique, is such a valuable tool. A world class climber is obviously efficient, so it makes sense to me to emulate most of her moves.

[@TheCreditShifu]

good technique, especially the footwork

To this day, still the most perfect form and unbelievable techniques you'll ever witness in a video

[@luhole]

Jesus she looks like she's being pulled up. Insane.

[@hyau23]

as someome who is a complete novice to climbing/only started bouldering 2 months ago, it would have been cool to put some sort of annotations or pauses with notes to show what techniques she is demonstrating in the video because i had no idea which ones she were doing.

[@BeefyBoulders]

I'm going to make a separate video with some breakdown and comparison to other climbers. I just need to find some free time :)

[@tling6990]

Would love to see the breakdown. A few things I noticed: She has amazing balance, she never barndoors in the slightest and does basically every move in a controlled static motion. You can't do those slow moves if your positioning will throw you too much in a bad direction. hyau23 it'd be cool to hear how you've come since starting climbing. I'm no pro, just a hobbyist who's climbed in gyms for over 6 years. The regular gym rats spank me any day

[@hyau23]

Tony Ling I'm the same as you, i only go twice a week with friends. When i first started i could only do V3s (with terrible technique might i add...actually still with terrible technique) but currently im able to do up to V6, and 7s if theyre easy. My finger strength has come a long way and im able to do crimps and pinches with ease. Getting a lot of hints and tips from the regular climbers helps especially with heel/toe hooks and learning how and when to flag. I still barn door occasionally though haha. Maybe i should go to a climbing seminar

[@tling6990]

That's amazing man! It took me a good while longer to get to 6's and 7's and I started on 3's also. I would say once I reached 5's and 6's my progress slowed down a lot because I needed to strength train. anything below I felt like I had good balance to be able to adapt to many types of moves but I wasn't serious enough about my strength training to really go far. Now I'm 5'6 and 125lbs so I'm pretty advantaged compared to most guys. Sure tall people can reach higher but when the route gets tricky you need to be able to stick the holds and keep you weight to the wall. Having long limbs and a heavy torso at the end of those means the tall person physically does not have as much flexibility as I do when it comes to finding a position. The climbing community is great isn't it? :) I've rarely met someone that isn't willing to help, keep it up. I would say if you are just learning your hooks and flags that you pay extra attention to how people balance for example in this video at 1:00 she has both hands up and a foothold at waist height. It seems straighforward to go right foot up and push to the next handhold. But what that would do is force your hip away from the wall in order for your right hand to be anchor and reach with the left. You'd also be right hand right foot anchor with left foot flag, two hinges makes a door. So instead she goes left foot up, right foot flag in order to lean her weight perpendicular to her grip. Then she simply steps up with her left leg and little bit of right arm. Play 1:00-1:04 in slow motion, she could have frozen mid move almost any point without trouble. I always tell new climbers to focus on balance and endurance, strength comes naturally through the activity

[@ludvikmajek3899]

There are techniques? I thought it's a "show your inner spiderman" sport?

[@jasonm9264]

Jamie Clark hers must've been too. Chalk every hold

[@TheToshark]

not necessarily. It's kind of a reflex you make automatically.

[@ZantierTasa]

I've just got into bouldering, and I'm watching way too may climbing videos... getting my palms sweaty every evening.

[@ZantierTasa]

Funny thing is at first I thought it was my hands reaction to having chalk on them for so long, and didn't realize it was from watching the climbing videos, haha.

Haha, I came here from searching for new chalk and my hands are sweaty af.

[@GabrieleBonetti]

this is freaking perfection.

[@BrumCraft]

I've noticed from all her vids that she climbs mainly with hips parallel instead of inside/outside edge and drop knees. But still manages to pull it off perfectly

[@BeefyBoulders]

BrumCraft yes. My climbing coach always gets mad when I choose to go outside edge. When the holds are smaller you have much more efficiency staying parallel and using more legs.

[@verticalnetwork1]

[@MadocRS]

Just a tiny bit of critique, it would've been nicer if you zoomed out a bit, if you were the one who filmed. Especially for people who climb, it's nice to see the moves before they are going to happen.

[@BeefyBoulders]

I agree. I felt the same way. I ended up in the front row and unfortunately I only brought my 100-300mm lens. This was all the way zoomed out.

[@MadocRS]

+Bouldering Vlog bummer then I guess. Still great quality footage tho

[@jjooeesslldds]

I actually thought the zoom was perfect for watching her technique!

[@peachfreude]

She's buff af. Her movements are accurate and smooth!

[@Savorychicken41]

It would be great if they zoomed out once in a while so we can have some context of how high she’s going. It could be ten feet or 100 feet but it all looks the same because of how the climb is being filmed zoomed in the whole time.

watching I notice how she accelerates into the move - hand or feet- then slows at the point she reaches the hold to land with unerring precision - how I wish I could do the same!! But after watching Jain Kim I do try to emulate her.

[@oracla]

I'm a new climber so don't hate me for this comment: It seems to me that for these two climbs she went for the mostly frontal position with a lot of power. There are heel hooks, but most of the time most of her weight is on her arms and very little on her feet. It's just that she has crazy endurance and power so she can afford to do it like that and be smooth. What is your opinion, is there any truth in my observation?
