In this video, I team up with London based climber and all round cool cat Loz (@lozclimbs) for a session at a new indoor bouldering wall in London, Rise. Loz describes her climbing style as burly, powerful and dynamic and she LOVES a good sloper. I'm pretty static, opt for crimps and flexible boulders and I don't love a sloper so much!
How will we fare against Rise's boulders?
This video will be the first in a new series I'll be making on this channel - Sends with Friends, where I bring guests of all abilities onto the channel for a session and get to know their style and bouldering background. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for having me. Really enjoying Rise and you were lovely company 🥰

[@mienkerichter4317]

Hope to see you being kind to your hips.

[@Neo-pg9ds]

So this is the V1 people are referring to when they say “V1 in my gym” 😂

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Haha EXACTLY THAT!

[@haydensapsted109]

Visited Rise a couple months ago - one thing to note is that their walls aren't textured so this definitely makes the climbs more challenging and forces your footwork to be better!

[@curtis2me]

I went to Rise a few months back and it is such a humbling gym. They're so good at setting interesting/technical moves on lower grade blocs, I need to go back

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Agreed, really interesting boulders through the lower grades. Can’t take your eye of the ball for a second haha! 😊

[@curtis2me]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering Yeah, people watching this who haven't been there really won't understand just how stiff it is 😅Rise is easily the stiffest gym I've been to in London, even stiffer than Mile End (which is a gym you should defo try out, the comp wall there is fantastic)

[@withakiwiontop]

I love you building not only your strength but also your confidence Hannah! ☺️ I feel like the biggest lesson you learnt especially from Louis was splitting challenging climbs up in smaller chunks rather than giving up after a few tries - at least that really helps me on my lower level too! ☺️ You seem so much more confident in your own skill and keep on trying - it’s really inspiring to watch! Thank you so much for sharing your progress! Love from Germany, Jess 🤗🥰

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you very much Jess! Louis definitely taught me a lesson or two about self belief. Really appreciate you watching and commenting 😊😊

[@solidvivek]

Have a minor back injury right now. But watching this I can live vicariously through you guys till I am back at it again. (Pun fully intended)

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Hope your back heals up quickly and you’re back climbing in no time! 🙌

[@solidvivek]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering Thanks! I am still doing stretches etc. and hope to resume in a much lighter capacity soon. Not being at the gym is a bit annoying.

[@henryt2229]

@@solidvivek i know what you mean had a bit of a mean hand injury and had to have a few weeks off ( i know it’s not as serious at all but being away from the gym is still torture even if not for that long 😂)

[@solidvivek]

@@henryt2229 Well here's to us both returning soon enough. Take care of yourself :)

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

What are the most common climbing based injuries? It seems the pros have suffered shoulder injuries over other body parts

[@fern2490]

Great effort girls!! I love seeing how you both change the way you climbed to find the beta based on each others styles! Love watching you projecting Hannah! Great effort🎉

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Fern. It was a really fun session together. 😊

[@Dave1507]

It's awesome how many new gyms are opening over there (meaning the UK, I'm watching from Germany) recently. In my area there are probably 4 climbing walls, and only one of those is pure bouldering. Luckily I live very near to the best of the four, where they didn't just throw in a bouldering corner as an afterthought ;) Keep up the great work you do, it's always fun to watch you and your guests climb! EDIT: Nice chalkbag btw 😜

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Lucky that you live close by to the best ones. There's so many popping up all over the UK lately - always a lot of fun to visit a new one and explore a new style of setting! :)

[@Hobomayoy]

The slap onto the sloper at 20:03 makes such a satisfying noise and puff of chalk.

[@TheKazzerscout]

Need a Hannah Morris x Magnus Midtbo video. This one was really good!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

The dream! Thank you 😊

[@elizabethmorris9490]

Really enjoyed watching this video. Well done to both of you. Loved the 'sneak peak'!

[@erikarose2187]

You two are so supportive of each other! Love seeing the encouragement and throwing beta off of each other!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

The best kind of sessions! 😊

[@NathanBetts]

love to see projects at all grades!

[@davidamir85]

Well done Hannah, you are getting better and better! Good effort on the green V4!

[@nilsp9426]

Nice, now we also get to meet new cool people on the channel! Getting stumped by the grade is always a healthy thing for me - it makes me focus on actually improving and trying new stuff. So These climbs look awesome and great to learn from. I guess if I ever go to London, I should check out the place!

[@dementiawavesgoodbye]

This whole video is so fun and relatable! I have a stiff hip too (and ankle, and other things. Age lol) so yes modifications need to be done to get those hard moves. Loved seeing you both go at it. Thanks Hannah and Loz for the video!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Love that! Thanks :)

[@razakiani8846]

Lovely to meet you at the end of your session Hannah. You were as nice in person as you are in your videos.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Ahh, thank you very much! Great to meet you too!

[@stefanorossignoli]

Yeah!!! Good job and good luck with your climbing journey! Ste!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you!

[@jasper7072]

So much fun to watch! Great effort

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Jasper! Glad you liked it 🙌

[@shareorshelve]

Thanks!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you so much 😊

[@АленаЛасо]

On the first V1 you could toehook the lower pinch (the one just above the volume) maybe?

[@rhettetherington1351]

Great climbing and video as always Hannah. Every grade is someone's project.so good to see lower grades as well. Thanks.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Rhett! It was definitely good to get stuck in to some well set, interesting lower graded climbs. 🤗

[@calumrafferty1828]

Great video! Rise looks very cool with a very interesting way of grading climbs…😂😂

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It was cool! Stiff grading for sure but true to outdoors I feel! 😀

[@ninaclark1973]

I love your content! It's so refreshing to see two strong women just having a good time and not being too pressed about grades. Have you ever considered being a Lattice coach?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thanks Nina, that’s so nice to hear. I’m not sure about coaching, but I would defiantly love to work with Lattice on some collaborations in the future. 😊✨

[@constantinosschinas4503]

Love to see you beauties climbing. Scrambling more problems, even unsolved, with faster editing would be nice as well. Keep on!

[@ThatScarletKnight]

what chalk bag is that yellow bag! I've been looking for a bag that can hold my larger brushes!!

[@unleashedclimbing6598]

Awesome work girls and great setting Rise 👌

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Thank you! It was brilliant setting 🤩

[@SparkyClark]

Great session. Love when even a V1 can be surprisingly tricky. Question, do you find it harder to climb at older gyms where the texture on the holds has worn down? Or are most gyms you've gone to good about replacing old holds? I tried an older gym this past weekend and all the holds were relatively smooth from wear and tear. Felt like it set me back a couple V-grades.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

So many of their V1s were very technically challenging, which was really interesting! I definitely do find it harder when holds aren’t as new and grippy - I find that I overgrip and wear myself out loads in older gyms. Makes a big difference! 😊

[@bullydungeon9631]

Also have a back injury right now and I'm living vicariously through you

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Lovely to hear! Hope you’re back heals up soon.

[@rwolfeosrs954]

i would love to get into climbing just hard to start anything without like getting handed something at first

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Do it! Climbing is the best, and so rewarding!

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

The first route looks difficult. Are you sure it is a V1? 😀 Both your climbing styles are so different specially on the 2nd green route.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I mean, I’d totally accept a higher grade for sure! 😀

[@Cheifio]

Green looked a fun block. How do you find the magos? I was looking for a little stiffer shoe

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I really love them! Not sure they’re the best used as my indoor bouldering long session shoe, as they are a little stiff and aggressive - but not so much that I can’t wear them for a whole session! 😅

[@Loggerized]

Looking strong Loz! 💪

[@Harris.L]

I wonder if being filmed makes you overthinking boulder reading, I think I would definitely

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Probably makes me try and read into beta more!

[@serchforamethod]

Nice rose move on the v3!

[@askingjoshy505]

Dammn that cant be a V1😭😭 climbers in the Uk must be really strong !!! amazing content btw!!!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Felt tricky for the grade that’s for sure - glad you like the videos!

[@xilinyu2828]

That grade looks so tough!!

[@TheActiveLifeLived]

Weird how the taller climber prefers dynamic moves...it's normally the other way around as the shorter reach needs dynamism to compensate for the lack of reach...

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I’ve been trying much more to get out of my static ways! You’d think being fairly short, it was more natural for me to be dynamic but I really find it tough!

[@TheActiveLifeLived]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering once you practice more, it's going to feel way more efficient and you'll have better stamina! You should get the book "rock climbing technique"...helped me tons!

[@Loz_climbs]

I’m more dynamic to make up for my lack of flexibility and poor hip, it’s great learning from static climbers like Hannah and vice versa! :)

[@loading4386]

how often do you climb?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

4 times a week usually, or every other day!

[@loading4386]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering awesome can’t wait for more of your content! Do you do anything specific for recovery?

[@RaphaelChia]

that black V1 is either a troll or that means my local gym's max grade is V3 xD

In America the first v1 is easily a v4 😂

Hardest V1 I’ve found lately!

Loz est très jolie! :)

[@dehnsurgeon]

"climb like a man" 😬 I think she meant climb with bad technique - anyone can be a flexible ballerina 🩰

You are soo beautiful
