11:11 most relatable content on the internet. Thank you for sharing with us all! Your videos are fun, motivational and super helpful!

[@curtis2me]

11:11 when you let go of the wrong hold😂

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Not my proudest moment hehe

[@burnsbabe87]

That throw to the first pocket looks so sick, Hannah! Impressed you stuck it so many times. I struggle with moves like that.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks so much Natalie!

[@seand4515]

I really like Alex, encouraging, knowledgeable, can communicate the ideas well. Wish he was my climbing coach lol

[@RockHime]

Love seeing you working hard on this problem, and Alex seem like an excellent coach! Wish I could’ve had him in my pocket during my sessions 😂

[@nicjcorn]

Love seeing the commitment and intention in these videos!

[@larathompson1981]

I love the pan out to the laughing cheer squad :). Great effort Hannah and so glad you keep sharing!!!

[@TheJesster257]

6:40-6:55 was HILARIOUS! I love it! That was such a relatable emotion hahaha

[@TheJesster257]

11:05-11:30 was even better! This is some QUALITY content. I'm so glad you posted this with all the laughs and silly times. I loved seeing the process. You'd definitely get this one now when fresh!

[@mabi1870]

it's 3 o'clock - middle of the night, can't sleep. As I love your videos I was trying to find one I had not watched before and found this one. Great session - but then at min. 11, when you are hanging there asking "where am I going" and let go of the wrong hand, I almost fell out of bed laughing along with you so loudly - maybe I woke up my neighbors. Thanks for all your videos which are awesome but this one really made my "night". Greetings from Germany

[@MirrorTheBall]

First time watching your vids, rly like the energy. Also very cool format, keep it up :)

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you like them! 🤩

[@danrkelly]

Cool to see this session at Exeter, I took the train (and bus) down there this summer and enjoyed a couple of hours hanging around as it were.

[@toladamatanou3134]

Sooooo stroonnnnng!!! Alex is also a great teacher, giving attention to all the little details instantly

[@RealWorldClimbing]

Fun moves! And looks like a fun session with Alex.

[@engladsjbanan5750]

I will enjoy watching this channel grow, continue this way and you will succeed! :)

[@connordolan4597]

I often ask myself this same question. Although none of the world cup climbers return my calls? 🥲

[@Malenia1203]

So fun to watch every move you made with world class competition climber!! Keep the good work Hannah!!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you! Appreciate that a lot

[@rhettetherington1351]

Brilliant Hannah. Great video and great determination 👏🏼

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks so much Rhett

[@Dzul709]

You got this Hannah!!

[@TomDufall]

Yay, my local! I'm pretty new to bouldering and haven't really seen route changes while I can still remember the old layout, so still have that "I recognise that piece from its new location!" reaction seeing stuff in the background (e.g. that large orange rounded ledge.) I've now made a checklist of all the orange routes to conquer, so I'm hoping the next one(s) to change aren't one of the ones I haven't managed yet.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Great local to have! Hope you're loving bouldering so far and enjoying working your way around the oranges! They're a fun hold selection from what I remember of Exeter. :)

[@TomDufall]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering It's been good fun and has kept me busy while it's been a bit dark/wet for my usual outdoor stuff. I've enjoyed being able to go late in the evenings when it's a bit quieter. Orange seems to have a good variety of styles from jugs on overhangs to some strips, fiddly footwork, and ledges on vertical walls - some of the routes you can definitely tell what they're trying to teach you.

[@edgey9548]

Hey Hannah! Love your vids and always an inspiration to watch your dedication. What is the song you use at the beginning of your vlogs? In this one it starts at 1:00? Thanks so much

[@Lhistoiresansfin-cg2iw]

Hey Hannah I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask but hopefully you read this: Is there any chance you could make a video about training on a spray wall? I keep reading and hearing that the spray wall is the most used method of training by great climbers, but I'm not really sure on how to use it. I've seen videos about it already, I just think your style of making videos would work perfectly for that topic and would love to watch something like that. Thank you and stay psyched!

[@kaylaspring47]

Perfect video length for my lunch break in the US! :-)

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Hopefully you enjoy! :)

[@yourshitsweakx100]

AHH such awesome effort!!! Love it!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you!

[@ojomojo9365]

Awesome vid. I was just thinking that it looks like at the position in 3:47 you can keep the bicycle and just move your right hand to the pocket on the right instead of cutting feet, unwinding and rewinding. You end up in the same position, the only difference is that with the former beta you don't have to hang. The cutting feet makes sense if you do the hand sequence that allows for a 360 move that Alex does at 0:45 which is cool, but I liked your cross over beta better.

[@janinewalter1668]

At 4:00 mins where you got stuck on rotating your body, think about dropping your right shoulder (so your right shoulder is lower than your left). This high/low action will initiate twist.

[@that_one_momo_guy]

omg i need to see the send!!!! hahaha

[@itsrachelbuasuwan]

11:12 adorable reaction when you spun the right way but with the wrong armmmmm! always 'routing' for you dear xx

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you!!!! The struggle was real haha

[@itsrachelbuasuwan]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering I even asked my route setter to set that route for us but our gym is teeny tiny >

[@anelivb]

You always seem to upload right as I am getting ready to go climb! Never stop being your amazing self, Hannah!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Yay! Thank you!

[@stephaniestewart5025]

I will be spending a couple of weeks this summer in the UK! Do you have any recommendations for gyms that I really should try to check out?? I will be staying in London in the Holburn area.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Definitely try out Hang. (The Bobats gym), and also Yonder if you’re close by). Both are wonderful gyms! 😅

[@lismillard8361]

Looking on the map the closest and good ones are: Vauxwall west, Stronghold climbing, Mile End and the castle climbing centre (less than or about 30 minute tube). There are so many other amazing climbing centres just will be a more of a trek to get to

[@curtis2me]

Stronghold London Fields, Mile End and BethWall Green are all fantastic gyms in East London that I spend a lot of time at. There is also City Bouldering at Aldgate (very Central London) which is a bit on the small side (and a bit more expensive) but the setting there was pretty good when I went. If you want to do any rope climbing I've heard that Westway and The Castle are the best in London for it. Most of the London gyms are good, I'm sure you won't be disappointed by any

[@ElbowsB]

The Castle has a very cool ambiance being in an old Victorian water tower (that looks like a Castle). It's also one of the older and larger walls in London, and very easy from Holburn on the tube, but I would say most of the gyms in London are pretty good (with the number of them, I guess they have to keep up with each other!).

[@folzarx123]

my advice as someone just starting to climb harder routes (prob similar climbing level) would be climb fast. The less time holding on the easier the later part of the climb is

[@chaozzah]

Crazy progression you've been making. So much strength and technique in this climb, no way I could do that!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you! ☺️☺️☺️

[@mark69064]

My hands are full of sweat in just 30sec while watching you climbing😆. That's so exciting

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Haha, sometimes it's more stressful watching someone else climb!

[@HarriRowElle]

[@zack.projects]

Alex is just a top tier guy, straight up

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Agreed

[@edda8876]

Love 10:11 😂😂

[@tuffythumper6676]

So finally did you get it ? :D By curiosity, what was the grade ?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It’s about V5/6 according to the old Hangar grading I think :)

[@jonnes__4657]

🗽 To hang full weight on two fingers and twist looks really hard. You have to do it quick. And this kind of first move is often my crux. .

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It felt pretty hard! 🥵

[@laurawhelan2639]

She needs to work on just like, remembering things lmao. No more panicking just do it !

[@constantinosschinas4503]

What kind of method that is really. Foot off and double twisting when the holds are ok and there are things to step on? Feels way off, just immitating cote du ciel for no reason.

[@courtclimbs]

Dude you totally got that if you haven't already.

[@nathanr.9666]

So strong! What grade was that white?

[@samuelkirkwood7221]

White's are v5-6 at the climbing hangar centers

[@bartz4439]

right hand, left hand :D whats the difference?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Haha right! 😆😆

[@xavierx93]

I see mimi in the background :D

[@peterboneg]

Why hang down facing backwards if you're just going to spin back the way you came? It looks like she could keep her feet on and reach the next pocket with her right hand.

[@GoodLuck-rh8tb]

Bc the next move would be much more difficult/impossible. You need to go in the second pocket with your left to make the sequence possible.

[@peterboneg]

@@GoodLuck-rh8tb By 'next pocket' I meant the 3rd one. I'm not suggesting changing the hands, but just keeping the feet on the whole time.

[@DanielsanTVs]

Omg wtf was that at 11:11 HAHAHAHAHA JESUS CHRIST

[@coreyyong374]

you could have probably pushed with the right foot and toe hooked the left foot for the starting, instead of breaking loose every time... i dont understand how a "world cup climber" couldnt have seen that

[@andiminthegarage7081]

The starting foot doesn't look great for a toe hook, and they spent some time discussing various toe hook options 2:07 including the right hand starting handhold, plus this is edited footage so it's possible that more discussions went on as well.

[@coreyyong374]

@@andiminthegarage7081 I know how hard it is to see the difficulty from the video but since they didn't try it on camera, instead doing the same cut loose over rand over again, I would presume they missed the intended beta

[@andiminthegarage7081]

@@coreyyong374 have you tried the problem? The setter is the only one who might know the " intended" beta. But that's the beauty of climbing, there is more than one way to skin a cat...

[@SelcraigClimbs]

Which side of the box? The triangular volume has no white foot hold on it?

That's a wooden hold for a different bloc
