Really nice format and video in general. Great effort!

Thanks 💪💪💪

Can’t wait to get back in the gym and start saying “go on” in a British accent when I’m encouraging someone else on their climb

[@benjaminwalker9873]

What region are they from? I can't place it, but some of their pronunciation of specific words is a bit unique.

I love how you encourage each other with ‘good effort’. It’s totally ok to fall! ✌🏼

[@razzanator06]

Would love to see this but using these techniques to coach somebody up clbs they are struggling with. Just from a relatable standpoint as it really highlights the moves when the people doing them aren't way stronger than the grades they are climbing.

[@coo-kies]

Ohh it’s Jen! She’s taught me my first climbing lesson in Manchester some years back. Just as cool in person as she is in this video

[@MuIambo]

Really nice. I would like to see more videos on projecting!

thanks guys! so ready to go to the gym now. really appreciate it and the effort you put into this. cheers

[@joelanttila7927]

Opening up the hips to put more weight on the heel hook has helped me loads. Thank you guys!

Excellent video! Really liked the different tries with and without right technique

Great video. Really helpful for improving boulders. Thanks

Really helpful video. Twisting is one area I really need to focus on so will take this advice. Thank you.

Eliminates! I actually got so excited to go climbing to out this into practice😄 it sounds so fun.

[@GrosBoulet]

Amazing explanations with examples, instant sub !

[@punypixel2795]

As someone who is terrible at heel hooks this was so useful thank you.

[@domkolarova]

This video is so good thank you for posting! I tried the projecting exercise yesterday and it worked really well. It gave structure to trying harder, rather just throwing myself at tons of problems and not really finishing them. I would normally give up after a few attempts and try something else if I can't do it but this was forcing me to work out all of the moves. I will incorporate this into my training for sure:) Thanks, guys!

[@LatticeTraining]

You're so welcome! Keep it up 👏

[@isaakvandaalen3899]

By biggest problem on roof-climbing is my feet cut off a lot. Gonna try that twisting technique and see if it helps!

[@sentfromdaniel]

I am just getting back into climbing, and can work through some v3’s-v4’s. And they’re fun to figure out in pieces. But I tend to enjoy v2 and v1’s a lot more. Should I work on technique on lower grades and train my hangboard and kettlebells to get stronger? I just don’t want to injure myself messing about on a v4 when I can really hone technique and footwork on lower problems and try to get stronger by taking smaller grips and by working the board? Couple ideas I’ve had. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

[@jonatan01i]

Would be great to live in the age of the olymic games of science. Where the winner is who reaches the game's set goals (in a given time). Anyhow! That would make science go crazy!

[@mac476]

Intro song makes me anxious

[@MrChaluliss]

What is that song that starts to come in around 0:42?

[@pat3753]

Very nice and informative watch. I just don't see those hooks and as a small climber they would be so useful 🙄

[@teaclimbing]

If nothing else the amount of weight you can take off your hands is super valuable, even if you already fit the box and are comfortable with a toe on, sometimes I find a heel let's me use much much smaller holds easier.

[@psylimusic]

Could someone tell me where is this gym? Looks awesome

[@LatticeTraining]

The Climbing Depot - Sheffield

[@kamenpetrov6622]

Is the video part sponsored by Rab or is it just cold in the gym :D

[@LatticeTraining]

Yeah it's a typical Sheffield gym I'm afraid.... cold.... but great conditions :-D

[@aleksi3339]

nice video, but you didn't actually explain how to use twisting technique. A more detalailed descpirtion on where to pay attention while doing it would be nice. eg. is is your opposite hand that goes up while twisting or how does it work?

[@kilianberthier921]

where is this place ?

[@rosshenderson8171]

Is twisting the same as a drop knee?

[@jefton5759]

Really nice gym, where is this?

[@LatticeTraining]

The Depot

[@LatticeTraining]

Sheffield... that is...!

[@Lilacleaf49065]

Is there a way to know which way to twist? Atm I generally just get up there and see what feels "right" but i don't know that's always best.

[@awagner4646]

When using this technique your knees should be pointing to the opposite side of where you want to grab the hold. So if you want to grab something with your right hand your knees should point to the left. This way your right shoulder is facing the wall and your arm is closer to the hold.

[@savvass2149]

What are those black shoes josh is wearing?

[@LatticeTraining]

Regulus by Unparalleled

[@AstvomBaum]

The floor seems very hard for a bouldering area, is it just me? We have that kind of floor in the roped climbing area of my gym.

[@mattparkin7224]

They look like the same mats that are at The Depot in Nottingham which are absolutely fine to take a drop from the top of a 4m wall on

[@timynator2097]

So first of all great tips! Thanks for the good content. But there is one problem with this video. You are motivating each other in english, when the correct way to motivate someone who is climbig is either in french or japanese. Allez Allez XD

[@chrisb4003]

That place changes boulders every ten minutes

[@carrotsandrunning]

Great video :-) One bit of constructive feedback; when giving instructional information (i.e talking to camera), try removing all the fluff and filler words. It keeps it concise and adds gravity to the remaining words, increasing listeners ability to digest.

[@JayZoop]

So "Go On" means "You can do it". They always fall every time they say "GO ON". It's appears more of a distraction. Like is Rushes them.

when i hear her say "guwon" i knew it was sheffield.
