3'30'' hanging on a bar it's really impressive, especially for a boulderer

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks! Maybe I should get on routes more often! 😬

[@alejand5]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering for sure! That would be cool

[@Benkkuful]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering Especially since the bar you're hanging from is so damn thick! You really made it a lot more difficult for yourself haha 😂

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

@@Benkkuful I need to try on a thinner bar now! I also thought the Beastmaker jugs would be interesting to try the hang on!

[@SendEdition]

Nice work, thanks for sharing. I’m with you about sport climbing being scary! I just started sport climbing 2 weeks ago... it’s amazing what head space does to the level one can climb haha! I’m considering trying this test out on my channel and maybe trying to correlate the results with possible Boulder grades. There it isn’t a perfect conversion between bouldering and sport climbing but it’ll at least be more applicable to my climbing :)

[@DanielWatson10]

Great result Hannah! Looking strong!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Dan! Hope you’re keeping well 😊

[@Cacovangor]

“There’s other things standing in the way,” seems true of the vast majority of folks taking this test who often far outpace a redpoint grade with test grade. Many are focused on training to overcome technical deficits, when as easily could be pacing, nuance, or often the mental side. As a sport climber who redpoints above the test grade, let me say, bouldering is far more scary, just easier for most to stay practiced at.

[@Bobbzorzen]

i'm super hyped for this episode!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad to hear it! 😊

[@jojolewis8533]

Loved this video. So strong! I'm glad you mentioned the idea of doing it again in a year's time. That's my plan. I got 6c+ this week (insert excuses about injury and not climbing due to the pandemic here!) but plan to repeat it in 6 months time to see if I manage to make some gains! Would be interested to see you give it another go in the future.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It would definitely be so interesting to see progression in the tests! They sound like very valid excuses but that’s a good score regardless. Maybe I’ll revisit it next year and see if I’ve improved with a year of finger-boarding!

[@elizabethmorris9490]

Amazing strength Hannah. Well done xx

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks! 💚💚💚

[@emilylarochelle3136]

Hannah you’ve got such strong fingers!! Good job on the test :) it’s nice to see more non-pro doing this test

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Em! It was a fun test to do! Would be interesting to try it again after some training and see if I can improve the score!

[@emilylarochelle3136]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering I had fun when I did it too. Even surprised myself with some of my results ! A fun test to do to see if any metrics improve over time

[@CourtneyWarren]

This was a great watch, really refreshing to see a non-pro climber complete the test. I’m super tempted to give it a go now! No way I would get anywhere near 3.30 on the hang though, that was impressive! Great work

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Courtney! Glad you enjoyed it. You should definitely give it a shot - it’s great to figure out your benchmarks on the exercises! Thanks again for watching and commenting. 🤩

[@tomhodges7227]

This video is super motivating for me to get on the hangboard. I think I'm climbing similar grades to you but can only hang 110%. You're super strong keep it up!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Yeah, it gave me a kick to actually start using the hang board too! Thanks very much for watching and for your comment. 😊

[@MythAvatar]

I'll be excited to see the results, may not watch live idk if i'll be here or training myself. Good to see the channel growing btw!

Fantastic score hannah . I managed 7c+ which I was pretty happy with . Keep up the good work

[@Bobbzorzen]

you're an absolute beast, super impressive numbers! i can't wait for the gym to install a proper pullup bar, once they do i'll for sure try this test

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It was a fun challenge! Let me know how you get on if you do! 😊

[@valgoesoutdoors1505]

Nice job! I’ve always thought of you as super strong. You often ‘hang’ on a crimp for quite a long time while you’re hesitating for your next move. Since you now proved your strength, maybe it’s time to work on the mindset. Not that I am an expert. I recently bought Rock Warrior’s Way to try to learn to control the fear while sport climbing. Haven’t read it yet, but I heard it’s a great book.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Val! Will absolutely check that book out - it definitely sounds like it would do me some good to read it! Haha, yeah, my friends always say I’d climb much harder if I actually kept moving on the wall (and didn’t add lots of additional moves in between moves haha). Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend.

[@AlexeiDrummond]

Very impressive strength! You boulderers are strong! I am a sport climber and I tested 7b and I have climbed 7b. I just redpoint a lot. You just need to go and try harder sport routes :)

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Interesting that your score was in line with your actual grade for sport. I would be really interested to try a bouldering specific version (and actually start trying sport climbing some more!). Thanks very much for watching and commenting!

[@rhettetherington1351]

Wow. So strong. Well done. Another great video Hannah. Thanks

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

[@juliawale4294]

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

The weight belt is more comfortable if you feed the chain through the opposite loop, and clip it back into the original loop!

[@tobysmith4662]

That 3:30 hang was mega, Han. Well done.

[@RoadtoV11]

This was very fun to watch! The hanging test is heinous... Did your hands cramp? I'd love to do this one too when gyms reopen :D

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Fontano! I found the skin on my palms was actually the hardest hit haha. And trying to open my grip afterwards was a challenge! Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the test. ☺️

[@yogaforclimberswithievaluna]

Super strong, Hannah! Amazing results and a very nice video💪🏽 Are you thinking of sport climbing more after the test to push your grade towards 8a+? 😊

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you very much! Sport climbing is something I’d definitely like to do more of. I really enjoyed working through fear on our first (and only) sport trip so it’s definitely something I’ll be trying more often. 🤞 Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@tomhodges7227]

And I totally think the fear improves every time you do it. You just need to expose yourself to it!

[@Pepperman86]

8A is my life goal but I haven't really trained for climbing on the last 12 months or so... Great score!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Hopefully you’ll be back in the climbing game soon! Thanks very much 😊

[@mackdlite5900]

Damn, 23 points is a great result Hannah but I'm not surprised because you're so strong! I just adopted a corgi and I'm gonna name her Hannah after you.

@@hannahmorrisbouldering I can imagine! 8a+ is so hard though, dang!!

I would trust him a liiiitle bit that he is going to be there ;) Very entertaining video with good math! Kids stay in school, math help you climb (or so I've heard)!

Very impressive. I dread to think what mine would be.... Maybe you'll get a rope on from time to time once we're allowed out to play. Something well bolted in Kalymnos might fit the bill :)
