Hello friends! I just had sooo much to share just from this one climb. Hope these tips help YOU! love you all, have a good day!

[@MissHitAllTheTime]

u r a good instructor...llooking forward to more instructional video from you....i get stuck at v5 and would like to know what changes i need to make to move from v5 to v6 is a really big change....do i need strength training or just better footwork technique or both?? i see lots of ppl train after they done climbing with hang board stuff....i say v1-v5 if ur technique is bad u still can get away with using strength on hands but once u get to v6 sometimes i get lost and cant even start the problem its like the holds is really shitty to start...

[@MissHitAllTheTime]

what if u slowly move your left hand off with right hand holding the bottom side pull and then left hand on the above side pull and slowly try move your body forward as much as u can before taking ur right hand off the bottom left side pull and putting it on the pinch piece on your right??

[@rockentry]

Thank you, really appreciate it! Unfortunately without knowing much about your climbing its hard to give advice on how to go pass your plateau. My best advice is to focus on technique before you consider strength training but then again you need to know what your weaknesses are and build up that strength, this could be physical or a technique you're lacking. I'm thinking about doing a video of talking about my plateau which could help you. This way I can explain where I was weak and what I did to get better. Thats probably the best way I could help, by example. Keep an eye out for that video ;) Thank you!

[@MissHitAllTheTime]

@@rockentry i dont climb often maybe like 4 times a month if lucky so its like once a week compare to people who are spending 3-4 days a week at the climbing gym. I'm like a legit v3-v4 but mostly between v4 and up to v5..also depends on what type of problem and how it is set up..i'm good at power moves problems with heel hook involve, or balancing type problem..crimps and some pinch type problems are my weakness.. ..i'm light like 135 ish 5'7 and i pretty fit I do lots of calisthenic when I do get a chance to go to a workout gym (not climbing gym even though some also have weights and pull bars, workout machines, etc).

[@MissHitAllTheTime]

@@rockentry can you do more on every type of bouldering problem i say at least v5 or up...like a crimpy problem, all pinch problem, sloppy problem, balancing start type problem, volume problems, etc all the different type of bouldering problems you will find/set at a bouldering gym and do the wrong vs right way of solving it...just like your last video on this time of v5 problem? i also feel like some problem is about figuring the best way to hold a certain piece in order to solve it you can make a v5 look like a v2 if technique and everything goes well the way you hold a bouldering hold if you know how to make use of your hands could help a lot...

[@Schlitzerix]

Just a thing about the KZbin Algo. Make the Video at least 10 minutes long (You can fill those 11 seconds somehow) and add a midroll ad (and end of video ad (hidden in settings), KZbin will then recommend your videos way more frequent cause they make money of it. They would never admit to it but they do prefer vids with ads in their algorithm. And I don't care watching one ad for you :)

[@rockentry]

My friend, I really appreciate your help! this I will keep in mind on future videos. Thanks for the support!

[@ButlersTraining]

Please dont do it, i love your videos without ads Please keep it that way

[@Jsoccer1999]

Bro let the man make money and grow one ad won’t kill you

[@ButlersTraining]

@@Jsoccer1999 yt is makin more money from that than he ever will, rather keep good content up, and get sponsor ships and or product placements Not denying this man his money, learning too much from it

[@MsLifeBreaker]

@@ButlersTraining First u can just get an addblocker if u are so annoyed by it. Second its not about the money here (while its still a nice sideeffect for him) its about getting more new subscribers bc he gets recommended on frontpage more often. He puts work and effort into his videos so he should get the money for it easy as that.

[@majoyce7846]

In addition to being a good climber, you are also a very good video producer! The tips and techniques are so clearly presented. Thanks for sharing!

[@rockentry]

So kind my friend, really appreciate you! Much LOVE.

[@BethanyNash]

You really have a talent for instruction! Your wrong vs right clips really help me a lot. You always explain exactly what's going on in a way I can understand it and as someone who watches TONS of climbing videos, I can safely say that's been hard for me to find.

[@rockentry]

Thank you Bethany! Really do try to explain as clear as possible when creating these videos, your confirmations really helps me know it’s working. Thank you!

[@jakeatwood4651]

Dude, thanks for the tips, I went climbing last night and my friend said, “whoa you’re technique is way better!” These videos are super helpful. Keep up the good work!

[@rockentry]

This is great!! I’m so happy that your progressing and you are benefiting so much from watching my content. Much love! And don’t forget to share these videos with your friends too hehehe

[@deeogilvie7588]

So happy I found your channel! I'm new to bouldering and not very confident with body positioning, route reading (or heights, eek!) - the way you break down movements and technique in your vids has been the best and most helpful I've come across - thanks for your work! :)

[@xavierdelaporte7222]

Best edited climbing videos. Your detailed supers with zones, arrows, push, pull... are super helpful. Thx. Great job.

[@doreenang3974]

Thanks for breaking down your moves. The wrong and right side-by-side comparison is extremely helpful.

[@merakmontiel7098]

Just discovered your vids/channel and I really like them. Your explanations and video comparisons are amazing. I will put in all this new knowledge into practice next time.

[@andersonboy620]

Oswaldo, I see your videos are getting more detailed and doing a deeper analysis, quite good man, congrats!!

[@ekexplorer3825]

Hey Oswaldo! I’m new to climbing (about 2 months) and thanks to your great videos and technique tips I was able to climb my first 5.10a at the gym the other night. I’ve also been taking videos of myself so I can go back and look at what I might be able to improve on. Keep up the good work!

[@lauramoser5588]

I just enjoy watching you climb that much. I didnt thought I would like to watch other people climb as a lessons in a video, always thought I prefer the "5 tips to..." videos but in the end its much more efficient for me to just watch you tackle these problems on a route and talking about these tips along the way.

[@luistrebino695]

great stuffl!!thanks for sharing this!!

[@josephagudelo726]

This was another awesome video thanks man!

[@kensu6303]

Awesome tips! Thanks for the video!

[@jrdnhrrm7]

This whole video was great, and the super-detailed breakdown of the first half was incredibly helpful! One of your best videos IMO. Super glad I found you - keep it up!

[@rockentry]

Super glad you found it helpful! Thank you!

[@da_swaws6165]

Thnx man I've been binging your videos before my first bouldering comp

[@Masterpouya]

Great explanations, clean setup, nice video editing (I love those arrows of force, those circle that make everything clear, those slowdown flashback and those side to side comparaison!) and very nice tips! As always, thanks man, and keep going!

[@rockentry]

Appreciate you for watching! Thank you.

[@ejl74]

Just watched this for the second time. Those tips on pushing with your feet as you reach is a great tip. Made me think of this outdoor project I did last week where I was pulling with my arms and my feet were blasting off the wall. Once I pressed down on my feet that didn’t happen again. Great stuff bro!!

[@LydiaExplores]

I LOVE this detailed analysis you made to explain and then show both the wrong and right things to do! I learned so much from it as well. Great job, keep it up Oswaldo :)

[@rockentry]

Thank you!

[@nyancharge]

Thnks man, your explanations are really important.

[@caylenbjornsson2182]

Love the videos man! The begining part of this climb is similar to a problem im working right now. So im going to try the low smear and see if it works out! Thanks again for all the time and hardwork that goes into all these, it definitely shows!

[@rockentry]

Much love man, I appreciate your support!

[@googlywoogly8306]

I watched many other videos on climbing but your video seems so positive and easily able to understand. Thankyou for such wonderful efforts for us. Bless ya:)

[@rockentry]

Appreciate you and the support! much love.

[@MrSchafonator]

love these side by side comparisions. The most helpful climbing videos on youtube i think! :)

[@rockentry]

Thank you!

[@SamirSoriano]

Awesome videos. Thanks!

[@peterjoachim2865]

Oswaldo, your videos just keep getting better! This video, in particular, demonstrated the importance of transitioning to a dynamic style at critical moments. I'm a novice climber and tend to hold long, static lockouts. Understanding how straight arms work in concert with low hips to enable a dynamic push to the next hold helped me quite a bit!

[@rockentry]

Yes, climbing static at all times sometimes does not work on all climbs, it’s a mixture that gets your send! Thank you!

[@manuelcruz2632]

Thanks for the vids! Started climbing last month and your content really helps!

[@rockentry]

Awesome! Welcome to climbing :) where you will enjoy life even more!! hehehe

[@allan6756]

Im new to the channel, thanks for the in depth content. Subtle differences make climbing alot easier and you did a great job explaining. :)

[@rockentry]

Thank you!

[@justinsidener4953]

Man your suggestions and tips have improved my bouldering for sure just because each movement you explain and how to use engage, so forth. Appreciate it.

[@rockentry]

Glad these videos are helping you. Wishing you all the best on your climbing journey! keep at it.

[@ChefOfTheDead]

The format of walking us through a certain boulder problem and discussing tips and your overall thought process is great! I’d love to see this same format of video with more boulders. Quality stuff man 👍

[@rockentry]

I appreciate it man! Thank you, much love!

[@Reverie42]

I'm super late to the party, but I just wanted to say thanks for these videos. In terms of actually teaching technique, yours are easily the best vids I've seen. Putting the failed attempts side by side with the successful ones is -extremely- helpful to understanding the subtle difference between what I frequently believe I'm doing vs what I'm probably actually doing on the wall. I also appreciate that you show these tips for a wide variety of grades, but in a way that seems approachable for different skill levels. I think a lot of channels with more skilled climbers trying to show technique to less experienced climbers tend to get too hung up on trivial basics and don't really go into depth on the little details that really make a difference once you hit the V4-V6 range.

[@chasemiller5036]

New favorite climbing channel, awesome content my dude!

[@rockentry]

[@cat7655]

Amazing video and instruction as always! Thanks for uploading consistently. Can you make a video on roof climbing technique? I can't seem to find many good ones out there. I get so confused when I'm upside down.

[@cat7655]

Also, going to check out LAB/Cliffs this Saturday! Hope to run into you!

[@rockentry]

Thank you, This suggestion is definitely on my list, please feel free to let me know anything specific you’d like me to cover when it comes to roof climbing. I’ll be outdoors this weekend but if we get bad weather I’ll be at cliffs ;) Thank you!

[@cat7655]

@@rockentry Specifically how to think about footwork (i.e. flagging) so as not to cut feet. Also, how to efficiently transition out of the cave (turning the lip) onto vertical terrain. Sounds good! Have an awesome time outdoors! :) Keeping my fingers crossed for good weather for you.

[@nathanbey-smith631]

Great problem and video! At my gym we have a similar problem (graded harder though) on a wall that looks like a beer belly, nice and rojnd, with only vertical wall at the bottom. And the move is incredibly hard, you are throwing from two goodish incut cloper thingys to a sloper right hand and arete left hand, at the same time. Its a sick move but getting the momentum and coordination on it was quite challenging. There you go, just casually describing the boulders at my gym!

[@rockentry]

Hahaha now I want to climb your project based on your description of the climb. Momentum and coordination I myself is still working on when these kinds of projects are more difficult, love them tho! Thank you!

[@greywolfnate]

It was helpful for me seeing how the first time your center of mass had to move a lot to transition to the double clutch and the second time it moved a lot less

[@magikalyoutubeman17]

Thanks!

[@AntonioBravoTrevejo]

Very usefull!!!

[@alexnunez4019]

Thanks a lot

[@ArinaThomsen]

Very analytic and energy efficient problem solving.

[@rockentry]

Yes! Thank you.

[@monsterpda]

Great stuff, I really think I was able to get a few good hints from this! Thanks =) Seems like you didn't finish the route in the end there but went straight for the top edge of the wall? Is that a thing in some gyms? AFAIK, you are supposed to match the top hold. Maybe it was because you did the climb so many times for the video, but it would have been more satisfying as a user to see you actually top the boulder. Cheers!

[@ybbhna62]

as helpful as usual!

[@DF999]

This problem destroyed me for a bit, definitely gonna try the double clutch now. See you around cliffs!

[@rockentry]

Awesome! Hope you get it next time Daniel!

[@christinegerard4974]

Bravo ! It is very interesting and thanks so much to speak slowly ..( for the french like me ..! ). You are very talented !

[@rockentry]

Thank you!

[@ScrabblePlays]

Great video! I definitely didn't see the beta you used on the first half, then the angle of the video changed and I realized how overhung the wall was.

[@rockentry]

Glad I got that angle too. It’s really difficult to capture the difficulty of a climb but I do my best. Thank you! ;)

[@mari89mari89]

thanks!!!!

[@jonkrause6714]

New skills are great! Thank you. Technique with control leads to efficiency of flow...sounds good, but I need to practice that more often-not consistent. Dig the learning process. :)-

[@rockentry]

Ah yes! Consistent is key my friend. But now that you know this... go send hard!! Hehehe much love man!

Thank you and welcome my friend!

[@mel.mel.6115]

Thx

[@uglygamer2028]

It was nice, but you don't have to do a double clutch. You can move your left foot onto a hold while holding the lower duel text hold and the small crimp hold. And by utilizing the hold above your left hand while holding the smaller right hand. You'll be able to move slowly and statically to the next right hand in a more controlled fashion. You can do a flick move where you quickly flick your left hand only to the upper hold. Your body should also begin leaning to the opposite side of the opening you'd use for the hand hold. And the left foot should then be pressing down and towards the hold as you move your left hand. Keep tension and so you don't barn-door. And then move your right hand from the crimp to the next hold.

[@deltathetasigmaxi]

awesome

[@Kyuubinuyasha]

Hey Oswaldo, your videos have really been changing the way I use my warm up recently. Was wondering if you had any downclimbing tips? I feel like I use a lot of energy downclimbing at the gym. Thanks!

[@rockentry]

You don’t want to get tired from just down climbing. I would suggest to down climb routes that are much easier and can work on your technique. Now, when you’re climbing hard projects just down climb using easy holds near by grab on to jugs and come down, you don’t want to get too tired from just down climbing. Also, foot work helps a lot when down climbing try not to cut feet. Hope this helps!

[@Kyuubinuyasha]

rockentry thanks, I’ll try to focus more on that next time I’m at the gym! 🤙🏻 loving your vids duder

[@pauloavila682]

Excelente. Aliás, como sempre.

[@rockentry]

Gracias!

[@TheUCuber]

Hey Waldo! Great video as always! I have a bit of constructive critisism though, don't take it the hard way as I mean well... Sometimes it sounds like your voice suddenly becomes nasal ( not sure if this is the right definition for it), especially on short words at the end of a sentence ( example 0:28 "climb" ). Maybe it's just a dialect thing that I'm not quite used to. Aside from this bit of nitpicking, your video's are amazing :). Keep up the great effort!

[@rockentry]

Constructive criticism is always welcome! With your help we get to improve the content here ;) Now, as for the sound of my voice on short words like the timestamp you’ve pointed out. I reviewed it and unfortunately that’s my voice/accent as English is my second language. BUT I’ll be working on it as I’m always looking to improve. Much love my friend and thanks for caring enough to help out. Thank you!

[@alexandergavrilov2566]

Excellent video and breakdown. I love the tips on the small things that most good climbers do automatically and take for granted. Also, please don't add middle-of-the-video ads (as someone else recommended). There is nothing that annoys me more. Your channel is great as it is. I skipped subbing on a few channels because of too many ads in each video.

[@alexsurh1472]

Another thing I've realized, its OK to use the wall when there isn't a good foot hold or if you're on a corner and grip the edge of the wall. I gotta keep telling myself its not "cheating"

[@logiconabstractions6596]

Seems to me that instead of the double-clutch, you could have gone statically from the gaston on the left (and the right hand foothold to start). The first attempt you showed wasn't that far off, and it seemed it was somewhat rushed (understandable for a first attempt or a move like that). The foothold you do have is also at an advantageous angle (behind your center of gravity, if really close to the wall). Also the gaston is on a big hold popping out of the wall on the left. While it does look pretty sloppy, it is further back from the wall, i.e. not a crimp. All that looks like it might allow to balance your way and counteract the barn door effectively. The other thing to that is that in your attempt, you kept the left foot on. That hold is pretty far off - seems you would be better off using it as a flag (again to counteract the barn door that popped you off the wall). Because the right foor is a little further back, I think you could just balance off that single point, with the left flagging in a way to prevent the rotation. Then gaston on both sides until you shift your center of gravity just above the right foot, then slide the right hand to the pinch. Maybe not thought - always hard to tell without trying. Good vid.

[@DieDieEla]

Hello, would you mind to make a video how to learn and improve smearing? Thanks

[@rockentry]

It's on my list of videos for sure!

[@michaelstanley2037]

On the crux move, why did you opt for the double clutch as opposed to reaching higher with the left hand then over with the right? It looks like it would be much easy to do statically.

[@michaelnoel133]

Do you think you could you have heel matched left hand to come in left hand on the next pinch?

[@rockentry]

Can’t say it’s not possible without trying it! ;)

[@markushouve4730]

7:50 why didn't you just grab the upper side grip with your left hand and then pushing your body to the right until the hold is good and then grabbing the right one with your right hand? Like 9:04, just with the left hand on the upper side hold. Would this possible?

[@mynyoguy]

Just an idea but maybe do a vid on moonboard? Then all of us can try out the technique on the same problem :)

[@rockentry]

I wish I had a moonboard at my gym! but i'll see what I can do, great suggestion!

[@gustavomoretto5985]

Another great video. Congratulations Oswaldo! But let me ask you a question: do climbers of varying weights take the same tips? In theory, yes. But because I have more weight than many of my fellow climbers (90 kg, despite 17% fat) I feel that some of the tips are difficult to apply to me. I suggest you make a video by putting on an extra weight vest. What do you think?

[@rockentry]

Great suggestion Gustavo, although this techniques do apply to all BUT I’ll do this.. I’ll make a future video with a person that is heavier than me to use as comparison, this way it is more realistic than just me adding a weight vest. I’ll see what I can do my friend thanks for the suggestion!

[@fuzz6263]

Interesting. The second part of the climb seemed easy for me, while the first part seemed pretty much impossible.

[@cyruschan427]
