I Trained Like A Pro Climber at USA Climbing HQ For A Day

[@calar8]

I love how comparatively non-competitive climbing is at the top levels. This isn't some top secret facility where training methods are guard closely, its just a cool place to hang out and get better regardless of which country you represent. They are all opponents on the world stage, but they just like hanging out and climbing together.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Couldn't agree more!

[@KrispClimbs]

Couldn't agree with this comment more🙌 Brilliant video showing behind the scenes featuring an amazing facility and world class athletes 😁

[@CapitalisticEmu]

I wonder if it's because climbers know that the real 'nemesis' is the boulder / lead wall (and not each other) 😂 . Even during competition, you see them being super collaborative and supportive. ❤ that so much about this sport!

[@NathanBetts]

Thank you to the climbing community for welcoming us in Salt Lake City - it was so fun to see inside the secret training headquarters. I find professional climbers are always the same as us all - just REALLY psyched to climb together :)

[@ak47rockin47]

Love how Jacob was just there lol

[@tovawr]

And Meichi in the background

[@machine_yearning_]

honestly feels like jacob is everywhere HAHA he's just always trying everywhere

[@jakobjas4212]

Jakob is always there to flash your proj

[@NoraBarkee]

You two are just amazing. Just casually hanging out with Natalia, Oceana, Jesse and Jakob like it's a normal Tuesday :D I really like your videos, your vibe and I have to be honest, all these athletes. You can be proud of yourselves for all this work!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. Glad to hear you like the videos 🙌🥰

[@RobertNowland]

Oceania looking super strong here, excited to have Australian athletes to follow in the olymipic climbing 💪

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

We're stoked to watch her too :)

[@Confelicity_]

This video was like a dream day for me... to hang out with these top climbers for a day and then have Jakob, Sorato, and Tamoa just blending into the background. I think you have mad contacts, Hannah!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It was a bit of a dream day for me too. And let me telllllll you I was pretty starstruck haha 🤩

[@Midnightflight0]

I love the climbing community, and this video perfectly highlights why. Seeing people from all different countries training together at the USA Climbing Center is so inspiring and heartwarming. ❤

[@bullydungeon9631]

God i love climbing, the people make it so fun

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Right?! 🥹

[@user-yo5yr9yr2h]

I love how both athletes are respecting their injuries and actually resting their affected parts. Good reminder for all of us to know our limits

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

100% agree! Athletes ability to adapt is astounding, but knowing when to take a step back when it’s needed can be so difficult with such huge competitions on the horizon.

[@blindgeorged6386]

Hannah: Really intelligent thought about the difference between climbing on spray wall and commercial boulders Comp Climber: I like it because it makes you stronger 😂😂😂

[@mikel.mp4]

Incredible video for the "behind the scenes" vibe and the amount of hidden random details is insane, random elite climberes, the improvised look of the warehouse, things you were not expecting to see. BTW hope Natalia Grossman is recovering for the Olympics, she looked in discomfort while climbing on Salt Lake City.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you enjoyed it! From the looks of Natalia's training on IG, her knee is on the mend. It will be great to watch her crush in Paris.

[@sageforrest4744]

it was a bit difficult to hear the narration over the music & background noise at the beginning btw!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks for the feedback! Will keep it in mind for future videos

[@rhettetherington1351]

Fantastic video, Hannah. Great to see behind the scenes and see you all climbing together and sharing beta and encouraging each other.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you enjoyed it. It was very cool to get to peek behind the curtain at the TC for a day!

[@LadyLaddy]

Learning Process/Improvement > Sending a Boulder I love the mood of the video. People/friends come together, enjoy climbing and spur each other on. Just like in a good climbing gym, only the people who are among the best in the world. Nice to see that Oceana has her sister with her again :).

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Really glad you liked the vibe, it was a really insightful day at the TC learning about the athletes training and mindset ahead of some big competitions! ☺️

[@bodyboardingbum]

This was such a great video, nice one! (And you should edit the title to include Oce in it, she’s crushhhhhhing)

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Oce is also incredible, it was so good to see her in finals at the Olympics! Sadly we didn’t get a thumbnail with her which is why she’s not in the title. 🫶

[@nirsommer]

I wish I had a bouldering gym with belay, can worry less about repeated injuries

[@LeonardoYoshimitsu]

You guys really made the most of this opportunity with this video. Incredible!!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks so much - glad you liked it :)

[@markbloyd9852]

This was great to get an inside look at some the behind the scenes of how even top climbers training to compete against each other, really just love working out the problems together like the rest of us.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you enjoyed the bts ☺️☺️

[@flip_lange]

Wow! guys, these are getting to a serious documentary level! So, so good! And can’t wait to see Nathan on the World Cup stage, soon 😂

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Haha eagerly awaiting his debut. Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@jakobschultz1663]

Cool video! I love how chill everyone is in our community :) On another note: I know it's only a few meters, but that belay technique scares me...

[@tangerinetango]

I thought the same! Pretty bad belay...

[@colemantrebor6574]

@@tangerinetango he doesn't really have to hold her fall as the ground is too close, and there are mats, he just needs to slow her down.

[@ricachuuuu]

I love the climbing culture!

[@tylerq3679]

Great facility and another great video Hannah.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you enjoyed it - it was a great experience to explore it for a day ☺️.

[@ST-vt4nu]

It's kinda reassuring to see that even the best still get scared at the top of a wall sometimes.

[@nirsommer]

You can see the pain in Natalias face, she's a good sport

[@jordancapped]

Such a well a made video from start to finish!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Jordan! 🥰

[@Coffee_Toffee]

Absolutely incredible video!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you think so!

[@mdanlos]

Oceania was just floating in the air ; very impressive

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

So so strong!

[@anon95274]

I’m sad to report that as an avid gamer and climber, hand-eye coordination in games does not translate to climbing 😢

[@Bloxeh]

Neither do reaction time, bravery/gumption, endurance 😂.. unfortunately.

[@huy801]

FYI: the local youth competitive teams also train at the TC next to the pros, and the pros train at the local climbing gyms.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

The setters were setting for a youth comp sim whilst we were there - looked super cool. Amazing facility for the athletes to have access to to train alongside commercial gyms ☺️

[@SeizeMachineClimbing]

Awesome video!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you!

[@conserve_climber]

Go get them Nathan

[@jonnes__4657]

🗽 I would also need a belayer for my bouldering, I have also an injured knee... 🤨 I wish Natalia a good and quick rehabilitation. ❤ .

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Fingers crossed it’s back to full strength soon. From what I see, Natalia is back to using her knee and hopefully her Olympic training is going well ☺️☺️

[@thebouldercaddie]

Amazing!!! 💥🔥

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Kylllllleeee!!! Hope your summer is going well :)

[@danielruz3581]

so insane that campus moves

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Right?! So strong!

[@JaxCavalera]

The best video game that I play which translates directly to my climbing would be OSU, it builds up endurance,, critical thinking under pressure, zen-flow, etc. and you know good music vibes as well haha

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Hehe cool to hear. I’ll have to look it up!

@@hannahmorrisbouldering keep it up Hannah 💪 it actually makes me proud watching your life’s journey on KZbin even though I’ve never even met you 😂 You’ve accomplished so many things over the last couple years I’ve been watching and I bet it’s surreal after days like this sat in your hotel room thinking “how is this my fucking life?” 😂

[@DAJ2000]

How cool to be in that environment! Hannah you look so cool, hanging out, taking it all in. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience here. This was fun to watch!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks for watching! Really glad you liked the insight into the TC :)

[@armas5056]

behind the scenes from pros training is so sick to watch

Glad you enjoy it, it was super cool to spend a day at the TC getting to see it in real life ☺️

[@sophiachaldaiou8499]

how did you get in contact with natalia?

[@jeannez2573]

Surprised that some Japanese climbers were also there (in the background lol). I thought they usually stay in Tokyo. Loved the international vibe!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Really glad you enjoyed. The SLC World Cup had just finished when we filmed in the TC, so there were many athletes who had stayed on to train beyond the competition. Great time to drop in! 🥹

[@aarongittelman2508]

@19:40 Desperately wanna know who Trevor is and what it is that he got.

[@IndividualName]

Interesting video! A bit worrying though how many pro climbers are dealing with smaller or bigger injuries, not just telling from your video. Stay healthy!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Hopefully they’re healing up well!

[@gekquad116]

Not to be a narc, but isn’t Natalia on the Addias team? I’m pretty sure she’s wearing Nikes.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I’m fairly sure she’s Black Diamond for apparel and 5:10 for climbing shoes, so I think it’s groovy ☺️

[@antoniofracchia9621]

Is this a normal thing in any other sport where athletes from different teams train toghether like this?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I hope so. The camaraderie in climbing one of the best things about the sport imo!

[@conserve_climber]

and this is from your trip last summer correct?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

From our May trip, this year! ☺️

[@Julia-gs5iw]

Does anybody knows what happened to Natalia’s knee?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I’m not sure what the injury was specifically but she hurt it in the semi finals of the SLC World Cup. By the looks of her recent training videos on social it’s healing up well 😊
