I tried SO hard on this comp wall

[@sadiemoland2157]

Nice job on the wooden V6! Looked super tough

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you! 🤩🤩

[@jamescochrane4697]

Happy New Year! On the last blue I was staring at the chunky hold out on the far left, covered in chalk so some people must to use it? I wonder if the static way is to get a heel on it instead of the dynamic? New to climbing so who knows! Really enjoying the channel, keep up the awesome work!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Happy new year! That's a cool idea, would have been fun to try it that way! Didn't seem like I would have been able to stick the dynamic way. Appreciate the kind words on the channel too - glad you like it :)

[@oscarcann]

I haven’t seen anyone do the knee bar that effortlessly. Nicely done 😄

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It’s such a cool start! Lots of fun :)

[@althejazzman]

I have, but only shorter people. My excuse was I'm too lanky to fit in the gap.

[@Dave1507]

Great stuff once again, Hannah, I like those videos where you just take us along, no fancy challenges, no guests, just you, your thoughts and some pretty nice boulders :) Happy new year y'all!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks David, glad you enjoy them because they’re really nice and chill to film! Happy new year to you too! Hope your year is off to a great start 😊

[@althejazzman]

You must have posted this video really quickly after shooting it, because I recognise most of the sets as still current when watching this. It's very fun to see you attack problems that I've seen other people try in person. I see that Roz actually set that blue one, so no wonder she looked so comfortable on it.

[@adventureawaits6923]

Climbing is the only way to bring in the new year, got my first V7 New Year’s Eve! Awesome video as usual!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

That’s great! What a way to end the year - congrats ✅

[@tomrad12]

My anxiety and fear of being too old (35) to get good holds me back from taking up climbing but your videos are really inspiring and I am this close to going down to my local centre and giving it a go. Happy new year!

[@itsspoodini]

In the words of Shia Labeouf, JUST DO IT. Seriously you'll be glad the weight is off the chest

[@TheTonVeron]

Everyone I know that stuck with climbing wishes they started earlier. whether they started at 20, 30, or 15. There are some climbers that started older and are crushing it (Akira Waku comes to mind). If you think you'll like it, the best thing is to give it a try and start. Just make sure to take warmups seriously because injuries arent the same as they are for a 10 year old lol

[@fypd88]

I started at 34! It’s definitely not too late mate :) have a go honestly.

[@MB-co6qj]

Get it mate! Just nice people around that want to help you out

[@lunatic200]

I started at 40. Never too old!

[@Azylys-]

I find it super helpful when you explain how you read the climb before trying it !

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you find the info helpful. It encourages me to take a second before hopping on without a plan too!:)

[@Shelby-p-Co]

Happy New Year Hannah! I'm excited for all the new climbing videos this year. :) I'm still a beginner (V2-V3) and I'd love to know how you cross train for bouldering. What type of strength training do you do and how frequently? I've been struggling with working in both and taking enough rest days!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Shelby! Happy New Year to you too. I’d love to more some more detailed videos about training for climbing. At the moment I try and fit in two gym sessions in per week - I alternate between bench, deadlift and squats as my main exercises and then do additional bits like pull-ups, core circuits and exercises that target smaller muscle groups. Then I climb maybe 3 or 4 times per week and I’m fairly unstructured with that! Just free climbing. Hope that helps a tiny bit but I could definitly make some more content on training 😊

[@stevecool4381]

8:16 Aren't you supposed to start the boulder before you touch different holds other than the start hold?

[@sco9114]

Tryharding with some chill music, dont need more :)

[@spenceringram8104]

love ur vids hannah!! keep killing it when are u going to come to boulder brighton to make a vid!?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Sooooooooon! I have a lot more time for video creation in 2023 so I’ll definitely be paying BB a visit!

[@danielsigursson6215]

Happy new year! That is a nice project you got with the blue v7. V7 is currently my highest grade to date. Hoping to pocket a few more in 2023. Looking forward to the new season!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Daniel - here's to more V7's in 2023, happy new year! :)

[@ollyMiner]

Got to see you climb in person during the comp for the new routes on the comp wall. Was even more impressive in person. I've been struggling with the blue sloper, so seeing you also struggle has made me more hopeful that it's a bit lowballed on the grade

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Ah no way! Hope you enjoyed the comp routes. Did you get the blue sloper problem in the end? I thought it seemed super tricky as a square! :)

[@ollyMiner]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering I only managed to do the first 2 moves but I only started climbing friday 2022 so I'm very happy with that.

[@syrup521]

For the blue v7, it looks like you need to do something with your left foot to progress. Try to put the left foot on the chip where the right foot is and match with your left hand?

[@amslot72]

I just subscribed to your channel. I’m a total beginner in climbing. Your tips helps me a lot. Thanks, en keep posting 💪🏻

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Awesome! Thank you. Hope you're enjoying climbing so far :)

[@gaiaiulia]

Great video as usual. Happy New Year from me in Dublin, Hannah.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Happy new year! That's for your support in 2022 :)

[@michaelwalsh5423]

Great videos. Jealous of your climbing gyms. Some of these problems look super fun

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks! We’re lucky with the setting in our locals for sure! 🍀😊

[@anelivb]

Such a nice video! I love the classic HM bouldering vids. I went climbing the first time in 2023 today, and I really tried to bring some of your try hard spirit!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Yay, glad you like them Hope you’re first session of the year went well! 💪 Happy New Year

[@anelivb]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering Happy New Year! I did a tricky slab but was struggling a bit allround to be fair haha

[@XabiExplores]

Hi, i’m a bit of a noob when it comes to climbing i’m really struggling with the holds that you pinch and slopers i think its called, any tips?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Yes! I actually have a video on the channel that’s dedicated to holding slopers which you might find useful. There’s a fair bit of technique involved that I didn’t know.

[@XabiExplores]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering Oooo, i'm going to have to check that out then

[@MB-co6qj]

Love it! Happy NY!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you! Hope you had a great start to 2023! 😊

[@DavidDA99]

so funny how you pronounce beta as beetah lmao

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

🐝🐝🐝

[@Lee117five0]

It's because "beetah" is British English whilst "baytah" is American English. A lot of climbers are American, so people get used to their pronunciation. Because it's the only pronunciation they've ever heard, even a lot of British climbers pronounce it that way too.

[@QuantumMindfuck]

What I need advice for in climbing is how do you set good climbing goals. I feel like I've been floundering at the same level, because I don't know what to actually aim for. I know the basic ideas of goal setting (Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-based), but I don't really know how to apply that to my climbing as I don't really know how to figure out what is an attainable goal in a given time since I don't have the knowledge.

[@Lep-2206]

For the blue v7 would it be possible to try and line up a toe catch with the left foot then using your core to reach into the next hold?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

That would be a really cool way of doing it! Not sure my core is cut out for it but deffo worth a try!
