Bouldering Progression Series - Beginner | V2, V3

[@cvgurau]

This guy’s narration style is like if Bob Ross was a climber.... which seems like it might be an insult but isn’t meant to be I swear....

[@TheValinov]

"let's put a fluffy crimp over here and give it a nice accent with a cute little foothold there. so easy!" XD

[@jirehjirehjireh]

TheValinov IT IS NOT AN INSULT! I love this dude’s relaxing voice so much

[@thiagoennes]

there are no dabs, just happy accidents...

[@luquinhasleiva]

It's so nice I wish I could fall asleep to it

[@collinwalker550]

Pretty sure its impossible to invoke the name of Bob Ross into an insult.

[@hustlehard4L]

V4-V5 & Cave climbs video would be much appreciated for sure. Love the level of detail you're putting into the videos and I'm here for it

[@MikeKGrimaldi]

Yes seconded! I know gyms have been closed alas

[@nccalico]

I second this for cave climbs!

[@alexgalays910]

Since you asked for it: yes, I'd very much like to see the follow up videos (v4 -> v7/v8)

[@jituji70]

Omw back home right now from my climbing adventures with my son for his 21st bday. For our last day we decided to go back to the local climbing gym for one last session. Since I only started climbing 3 weeks or so ago, I was super happy to get my PR of 5.10c, but that was overshadowed by seeing this master climber walk around the gym! Didn't want to bother him since he was teaching, but during a break I confirmed that he is the man himself and he was super cool and gracious to take a selfie with me. Really made my day to be able to meet someone who has helped me advance so much over a short period of time!

[@MANIRES]

keep on doing this, in my opinio these are top-tier technique videos on youtube. great style and very educational without overexplaining stuff, just very thoughtfull analysis!

[@instinctroller]

As a beginner I’m so grateful for these videos. I love your thorough explanations and level of detail. Thank you!

[@hollymarie3216]

These are the best instructive climbing videos I have come across! Beautifully articulated and perfectly paced without unnecessary "filler". Top notch. Excited to see this series continue up through the bouldering ranks!

[@buggymint4761]

I think I got more out of this video now than when I was on V0. I'm on V1 now. Lol. I'll keep coming back. Watching this guy climbing is like a therapy for me😁

[@daneocampo1120]

This was awesome and I really appreciate the effort you put into each video from the music, to the panning of scenes and the clear dialogue. Your finished products end up being this really relaxing, inspiring and confidence boosting material. TY!

[@mickboe1]

Great vid, send my first v2 last Friday, and did my second only yesterday. Been climbing for two months and the dopamine rushes are amazing.

[@evankimber5131]

Some of the best technical videos for progression out there. These are basically updated and upgraded Neil Gresham videos which was the gold standard. So well done. I look forward to seeing more.

[@Ididathing]

v4 to v5 pretty please

[@Henry-di5oh]

HI THERE!!

[@zachwrightsman6527]

bro

[@osilc]

Woah! Didn’t expect you here

[@cachepage6261]

I did a thing is a climber?

[@AppliedMusic]

How you going?

[@QuincelSC]

Been to the gym a couple of times and loving these videos. You pack so much in so clearly, I feel like I need to watch each 2 minute segment in 20 minutes to ensure I'm really noticing and thinking about all the body positions and hand shapes you are showing. Definitely going to help me so much.

[@FoxInTheBasement]

you managed to get a lanky marathon runner who hasn't worked upper body in years from v0 to v2 in 10 days with these videos. Top tier.

[@fufumccuddlypoops5502]

I’m looking forward to the climbing V4 videos as that’s where I’m at currently

[@rrrents]

I'm not being very original here but these videos are very cool and probably helping out a lot of people.

[@TheYawningPrawn]

The only account I have notifications set up for. I love when we get the new videos!

[@alexgalays910]

Same :o

[@Puleczech]

Love your nick!

[@vapofusion]

This video helped me so much understanding that shifting weight about to gain stability is important. I was like a big static weight on the wall pulling all the time! Now there is a clear flow to my climbing 👍 Very clear explanations dude!

[@k07385]

YES THANK YOU, I WAS EAGERLY AWAITING FOR MY LEVEL

[@holly4554]

Your voice is so calming. Love your videos!

[@yannickrichard8212]

Dude, as a complete beginner, I have to say your content is so good and detailed. Thank you! 🙏

[@philyskes3727]

I have climbed four V3's since you released this video. Two of which I used help from your flagging video.

[@SpiteOSRS]

Hey I am a climber for about 2-3 months now and your videos have helped me immensely, many thanks :)

[@FreeParkingSearch]

Just went to my first bouldering gym today.. first time climbing ever really. anyway im hooked already. the info you shared in this video already makes me feel like I've leveled up, just seeing how to address these different holds. Thank you for the video!

[@SmokeandSteel]

Same bro! Went in to just check the place out and left with a membership 😂

[@brooksandrew3505]

This channel and Rockentry are the best channels for teaching climbing.

[@slavadabadoo]

Consistently the best educational/instructional climbing channel on youtube. Cheers! Can't wait for the next vid!

[@FreaquedeMusique]

These videos make me so happy when I'm at home. Make me want to hop on my bike to the boulder gym and try everything out!

[@julsproyect3987]

Honestly, just discovered your channel, your voice is so calming and powerful, like an absolute master, I love how you talk about every detail, learned a lot by your detailed explanation, Thank you so much for spreading this amazing content and knowledge. I think for people that want to start climbing or are starting to climb your videos are really really helpful and precise. Sending a lot of love from Spain :D

[@ChakFournier]

Bring the V4-V5 next week and I might upgrade with the same timing as your videos ! thx !

[@enekaken]

Just climbed my first v3 at my home gym today, very informative video and quite accurate from my climbing experience. Love your videos and they've helped me immensely!

[@maggie5126]

Watching this video has helped me understand that my friends weren’t full of shit when telling me our gym grades low. My V1 climbs have had a large amount of V2 concepts and holds this whole time 😭. This explains why I’ve been struggling to go from V1-v2

[@rogero8443]

A lot of thought went into this, so easy to tell. Saved to rewatch a few times over. Your last vid got me so pumped to start bouldering, and now honestly I can't stop haha. I'm actually V2-ing while writing this.

[@andreschellenberg9161]

Dude’s got videos for everything😂 Respect on the passion!

[@enochlove]

Bro I would love to see the next chapter in this series! I send this series to my clients and climbing friends no matter what grade they are climbing

[@Zameso]

I hope this channel gets more attention. The plesant voice and clean yet detailed style of the videos are really nice, great job.

[@kayp89]

just got into climbing semi seriously and originally it was gonna be just for extra exercise/activity outside of my main physical activity, but i think over the winter im gonna give this a serious go.

[@germanzheng]

Very helpful and articulated, the level of details in your video is insane, keep it up!

[@Mu.ShroomLord]

Super excited for v4!!! I’m so close to completing my first ever v4:)

[@altarsofplague7394]

Loved your first video of this new series and have been eagerly awaiting this one. As expected amazing information and delivery. Keep going brother you rock!

[@grovercostello1668]

As always, well explained and very useful information. For older and slightly heavier ;) climbers like myself these kind of technics and understanding of the mechanics of climbing have allowed me to climb at a decent level without the need for brute force climbing often seen in younger climbers, who gain even more when they incorporate such techniques to their own climbing.

[@TrevorVonSeggern]

Please continue this series, your videos are really awesome. Can't wait for v4 video

[@dawalrus2861]

you have the most soothing voice i have ever heard

[@enochlove]

This is more excellent content!! So thankful for your videos. They are super informative and pleasant to watch. You do a great job articulating the sport and I never am left with questions. Great job again bro. Stoked for the next version

[@amandajchan]

This is exactly where I am and what I needed to watch!! Thank you for this series 🙏

[@miha986]

I just found these I’m a beginner climbing this is so helpful

[@isabelleluu5359]

These have been so helpful getting from V0-V2 holds to V2-V4 thank you for the great content

[@Theninjaonthemountains]

great video!! I was able to master v2 and v3 fairly quick went I started climbing and hit a plateau after v4

[@zjames1324]

best climbing channel on youtube!

[@natalieminnis]

I'm trying to get past a V5 plateau, but I still found this helpful for thinking about my technique.

[@MrPrinny23]

Wonderful video as always ^_^ this is my current bouldering level, so this was very insightful. Thank you.

[@DeviAcid]

Curious when my level comes up and I might learn something new because this is pretty well detailed for beginners I’m recommending this to friends who are beginner.

[@striker3212]

Love this series and channel. Appreciate you putting it all together and the mid video links to more in depth videos on specific techniques are great too. Thanks!

[@Bodebodebode]

your videos are simply the best for people starting bouldering. thank you very much!!!

[@Kazner0h]

This is the resource I've been needing

[@causmosis]

I love this series, very helpful to a new climber. Thank you for making these!

[@SB-se2xy]

Honestly love the videos and its really helpful for beginners like me. Can't wait to see myself improve.

[@timothycarlson9997]

Great vid. Longtime trad climber learning to like bouldering. It's back to basics for me!

[@pogenonexist]

What a great video! It’s so professional and informative, a summary of all techniques of climbing. Save it, review it again and again, and check the reference video mentioned.

[@kim98677]

Used to be scared of slopers and hate crimps but they're steadily becoming favorites because of how absolutely satisfying it is to use holds that would've looked absurd just a month ago

[@kevindasbach8578]

Drop knees and flagging! Super helpful things for me to learn when I started climbing

[@Matt.With.Huskies]

Great, absolutely great. I really like your style of videos. Very instructive and very easy to understand/watch.

[@anabelmontalvo9208]

Thank you so much for the helpful information. I’ve been looking for a video like this for a while. Many videos seem to focus on higher grades and some of us are still working on v2 and v3s

[@coasterb1]

Very nice series. As a couple others mentioned, my wall has some tricky spots for the easiest routes. Please cover flagging soon.

[@petet3025]

I'm really looking forward to seeing your videos on the higher levels! It seems I've been stuck in V4 for longer than I'd care to admit. I feel a lot of it is my focus on sport climbing, but it would be good to see what techniques I'm deficient in for V5/+. Great videos, and I have really enjoyed your content!!!

[@ben2849b]

Your videos are amazing. Please keep them coming. My only critique is that loud S sounds (I think it's called popping) get picked up by this mic, so I can't listen on headphones loud enough to hear clearly. I know this is already an old video, and you may have changed hardware/software already. Please keep the great content coming!

[@afull375]

This is helpful, I’m stuck between V2 becoming easy and V3 I can’t get off the of ground most times, same with Autos I’m stuck between 5.9 becoming easy and 5.10 being the bane of my existence. I don’t know what to do with my feet most of the time

[@kalilplayspiano]

Can't wait to see V4+ of this video style!

[@R3l3ntl3sss]

This video is exactly what I needed!

[@hydra66]

this is pretty much where I am level wise- a lot more emphasis on the feet. Still learning the overhang techniques (twisting doesn't come naturally yet). As well as smears, the rockover is a crucial skill for slabs at this stage. There's also a point towards the end of v2 where strength alone doesn't get you as far - read the route

[@talia-dp3si]

Second one of these I’ve watched and I loveeee them

[@MovementForBJJ]

This was my favourite video to date and very helpful, excellent work brother. Look forward to your next topic...Sam😊👍

[@formfeelfn]

Solid. Looking forward to V4, V5.

[@maciejlorenc2500]

Lol i just subscribed, clicked Bell and got adnotation. You have great channel ive been watching your video's and they are simple yet they contain so much value and volume. I am glad ive found you.

[@kobowoo]

Very educational and interesting. Keep on posting videos they really help

[@bogoturtle]

Please cover V4, V5. There seems to be a big gap here in difficulty for me.

[@joshuawax4049]

technique

[@ylang800]

Am a newbie to bouldering, thanks for the tips!

[@flashclimbing9210]

Super helpful video, man! I'm really digging your content.

[@mikkouusimaa1795]

Cant wait for the next few videos!

[@yaoyingtp6]

Love your video, clear explanation, helps a lot to me!

[@yungthunder2681]

I really wish there were more slab climbing In the summers I climb outside exclusively, and slab is much more like the terrain I frequent in the wild. In the winter, indoor climbing is supposed to be a supplement, but none of the gyms in my area offer any slab routes

[@k07385]

Thank you so much for the video. I would definitely love to see the next level. And I hope that by the time you post it, I will have advanced to V4

[@Chazb101]

Love your style of video, keep it up!

[@zackpalomo8847]

Can’t wait for the V4-V5 series. For the most part, I’m comfortably climbing/flashing V4s, but have only sent a couple V5s

[@dark-o]

Great videos. Would really like to see the videos for the next progressions. Keep up the great work 💪

[@cylosgarage]

cant wait for the higher grades, keep up the quality content

[@Pennaflumen]

These videos are really great. I'm sure at some point you will probably have to adjust to only a single grade per video, but I'm interested to see what you end up deciding.

[@leviporter7384]

I've just started climbing v4s and v5s, and though I've finished several, I still am not very good at them. So a follow up vid would be great!

[@orestmatveichuk1941]

Thanks for creating this really informative and detailed content.

[@jess_ym523]

I feel like I’m past V0 and V1 now but not good enough for V2 and V3...guess I just need more practice! Great video, really needed it! :)

[@MrThidious]

Awesome video guys! Thank you for the great explanation of everything. This is very helpful to someone who is new to climbing. Wish I had this when I started climbing. Keep up the great work and I cant wait for more great videos from you guys. I'm a subscriber for sure🤘🔥

[@ejl74]

Captivating video! I would love to see a video on body positioning for certain holds.

[@Knicksin7]

Just started climbing. Went on my fifth run yesterday and felt so stuck with the V2s. Thank you for this video -- it really clarifies the difficulties I had yesterday. Any tips about maintaining stamina/strength/endurance for us beginners who are hoping to have a solid hour of climbing? I was wiped 30 minutes in and found myself falling off 80% of the new problems I tried.

[@movementforclimbers]

I'd say take longer breaks between goes. Climbers always joke that bouldering is like 90% socializing and 10% climbing. If you're working problems that are harder for you (and you're getting about halfway through the climb) take about 3-5 minutes in between attempts. Also, just being consistent with your climbing and not overtraining will quickly build up your fitness for longer sessions. Keep at it!

[@xxsunnydays]

I love your style of videos, beautifully shot and very good explanation, keep it up :)

[@jackiezou4098]

Awesome videos! Great explanation and examples.

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

Dude, at my gym we have Crimpy underhung routes that are rated V1...I, and most people who aren’t on the climbing team, hate bouldering there because the routes are graded about 2-3 grades too hard. Awesome video btw...✌🏽

[@alexgalays910]

Crimps will destroy your fingers fast if you keep on trying those a lot. I know at least one gym like that and I try to avoid them. It means the setters have no imagination and think difficulty MUST mean small holds. It's really dumb to break your fingers because your gym is all about crimps. Normally you would train crimps a little bit then try and find non crimpy problems to finish your session: sloppers, volumes, things you can easily 3-finger drag, etc. Variation is key but injuring a pulley will take you back months... You CAN'T fast-forward your progress on crimps, you just have to be super patient, especially if you're not a light weight. Avoid these overcooked crimpy problems completely or just give them one try once in a while to see where your progress is at.

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

Alex Galays Thanks Alex, and I agree about the no imagination part 😃

[@Reeenald]

Love your vids, so useful, I use them as bible on how to improve (V2 climber for now)

[@AverageAthlete]

Great tips for begginer climbers. Keep up the good work dude!

[@benotyourboss]

This video is awesome! Thank you!

[@Excelsiorgaming97]

cant wait for the v6 and v7 video

[@aornelas]

wow your videos are amazingly well done and useful... keep it up! 💪🧗
