Be's advice about looking center instead of at either hold is a unique piece of information that I am adding to my data bank :3

[@NInjaTunazier]

This. Added. 🥰

[@spinozo.official]

I'll add in a different piece of advice that I've gathered from a comp climber: if you are going for a single small hold in a dynamic way, stare it down intensely (as if it was the only thing on the wall) before and throughout your whole movement towards it

[@nielsmarinusjansen]

Coaching sessions like these are so important. Just not even attempting to pull on to a climb, because it's "Not my style" or looks a certain way (e.g. sit start, so it must be burly), is such a bad mindset in climbing. Not only are you limiting your sessions by only doing climbs that you like, you're also missing out on the potential knowledge and skills you can learn from trying those different styles. Skills which could also improve your climbing on your preferred style! Obviously everyone has their preferred style and there's nothing wrong with that. If I'm having a bit of a meh session or just want a little ego boost, I'll go to a boulder in my style. However, in my opinion, trying and working on other styles will make you a better and more complete climber. Anyway, nice video and valuable advice from Be!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I was fighting for my life on the start. 😅🥲

[@caratownsend1166]

Nice to see a coordination move on a V2 - it's an area I've struggled with but I've found most similar moves are on climbs around my max, which makes it much harder to focus on the coordination itself with everything else needing full attention. Would love to see some sets like that at my local

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It was a fun one. I always love when gyms set accessible dynamic, coordinated boulders. Great way to learn cool movement without feeling like you’re fighting for your life. 🤗

[@kipperslapper]

I struggle with those balancy-starts, the sit-starts, and the double dyno catch. This was great to see some tips on. How about some tips on those tricky finishes, where there's basically nothing to hold with the hands but you have to match? I know it is about body and feet position but as a tall person I struggle getting all the limbs in the right spot! Have missed many sends purely because of the finish

[@TheKazzerscout]

Another great video Hannah

[@TeaForThought42]

I'm also trying to figure out a blue sit start V4 as a tall girl. I was going to write it off as not a good use of my energy, but after watching Be help Julianna break down her blue sit start V4, I feel ready to tackle mine!

[@willowmatt6850]

Hey there, love the video, full of useful tips. I'm just curious about the starts on the V3 slabs, wouldn't you need all both hands and feet to touch the hold for it to be proper? I'm new to climbing so I'm just wondering if there's something I'm missing about how to technically start a climb.

[@2Grills1Kappa]

11:30 I've almost lost my glasses on the wall multiple times. Gotta stay close haha

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

[@tomcrane6752]

RE. the balance-y pink start, also a bit of crap setting with the big orange / red hold right where your left knee needs to go. Always annoys me when walls do this!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I think it’s kind of cool that it forces you to get creative with where you have to place your feet to account for the mobility challenge! I can for sure see that it’s frustrating when there’s no way to navigate on a boulder because of other holds being in the way. In this case, it was workable and the extra challenge was fun. ☺️

[@lukedavies900]

It looks like it was maybe meant to be done the other way around, with the right leg on and touching the right side of the hold. The chalk on the start hold is all on the right on the pinchy bit, not the left. Hard to tell without trying it though, it might just be a coincidence. Maybe Bea was just creating a better training situation.

[@gaborhajas4257]

Whooa what the heck, you were in Fless??? This is the new place on the Buda side it seems! I go to the one in Pest every week but know I see I have to check out the new one too!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It was a very cool event!

[@gramophoneloopers]

I am hardly waiting to open this Gym to check my theories! It seems easier the balancy problem with right leg, and touching the starting volume bending right. Because of the shape of the volume it is much closer for the hands. Lots of chalkmarks on that part. The blue problem can start easier for tall climbers if you knee on your left leg, Than lift up a bit your foot, and push the wall with left knee

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Would be super interested to hear how you get on with the pink! I tried the other foot a few times and couldn't get established but the hold does seem so much closer to match that way!

Welcome in Hungary!! ❤

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

We loved our visit 🤩

[@ianshobbies7184]

I think that Be missed something really important about the first couple of dynos. When you are taking off from a jug for a step-up dyno, you can get much more height from moving in an arc around the hold that you are taking off from rather than trying to just go straight up. Not only do you get more height, but also your weight will end up traveling towards the wall and the catch position rather than backwards and away from the wall. The whole coin thing isn't really helpful if you are propelling your momentum away from the catch position. I think this is why the latch was still pretty physical for both climbers when it could be super smooth and effortless. Obviously, seeing it on video is different from being there in person and everything should be taken with a grain of salt, but I would hate to see bad dyno tips given to people who are already struggling with dynos. Would be interested to see if someone like Louis, who specializes in dynamic moves would agree.

[@T1ddlywinks]

Super useful stuff, but it's hard to practice when the gym is always packed with people.

[@billjensen51]

consider getting some shoes; I don't know how much you are paying for rentals but if you get budget shoes and you wear them for 3-6 months you should save money while having significantly better shoes

[@isaachunt6694]

How are they so comfortable being on camera right from the start? Or was it multiple takes haha, nice work

So if Hannah is supposed to be a V7 climber, it would have been cool to see her attempt the V7 no?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It was moreso so distinguish different experience levels between us. I don’t focus solely on v7 and above boulders at the gym most of the time. There’s a bunch of sessions of me trying my max on the channel if you want to see me try my max grade! ☺️

[@phillippearce9680]

[@atrbulldog5955]

V7 climber dropping a v2 hmmm okiii

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I know you’re just trying to wind me up, but I literally drop boulders below my max grade all the time, and I’m pretty confident that it’s completely normal

[@atrbulldog5955]

@ two things, claiming to be a v7 climber means you can climb the majority of 7s. Saying v7 is your max grade means ITS the MAX grade you’ve gotten. 2nd, you are down playing the how far below a v2 is from a v7. Dropping a 6 or 5 or even a 4 sure I get that but a 2. It’s like if a 2000 rated chess player lost to a 1000 rated player.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

@ I disagree. I feel comfortable that I know what I climb. The grade indicator in the thumbnail could just be an indicator of max grade achieved but you’d STILL be trying to undermine me in my comments section, because it’s not really about the definition, you’re just trying to make me feel bad!

[@Rylandos]

When climbing has a cultural problem with body image problems and disordered eating, it’s worth stopping to consider the potential impact of comments like this. We don’t make unsolicited comments on people’s bodies here.
