Rock Climb Better INSTANTLY - 3 Tips to Last Longer

[@sabersworn]

If only I could last longer in other areas of my life...

[@asmoth360]

Firelord Azula Don't overgrip handsholds

[@GeekClimber]

Haha I think we would like to last longer in all areas of our lives!

[@FranFerioli]

There's a 2min 30sec video tutorial for just about everything. Not necessarily on youtube...

[@jojojlc7070]

There's several hour long videos on specific sites. They come in HD too

[@johnk3841]

Are you implying you can't run a marathon?

[@VitruvianPhysique]

Great video bro, so quick but helpful!

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find it helpful bro! I checked out some of your videos and they are super informative!

[@PaulMartinuzzi]

@VitruvianPhysique I'd love to see you do a rock climbing video sometime! Great channel keep it up. :)

[@Emil-ik8vj]

Wtf you climb

[@sethwhite4155]

I love showing these videos to my friends that are just starting climbing!

[@GeekClimber]

Yes! I wish I had had a friend like you when I first started to climb, haha.

[@again7pyms]

hahahah ;D

[@jonathansteyn9864]

It’s the backstep that blew my mind. So many things clicked just now 😅 Thanks Geek Climber ❤️✨

[@yinanliu]

These are really helpful! I am a beginner in climbing and really want to get better! Thank you for the useful tips!

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the video helpful! Stay tuned for more videos like this.

[@neo778]

Thanks for your video! Especially 2 and 3 I often forget. My method to learn to climb more efficient is to climb a route more often, best without a break. Not only you train constant movement with not breaks for thinking, also your muscles get weeker you‘ll climb more efficient and faster automatically.

[@GeekClimber]

You are welcome! I agree with your points too!

[@bluesalmonfactory]

i like how these are so short but filled with a lot of good information! thank you!

[@Jonakaiii]

This dude is my favorite. He explains shit a way that’s easy to understand

[@huohui]

I watched your tips when I just started climbing, now I’m getting better and still get juice from your tips. Thanks man!

[@GeekClimber]

Hey man, glad you learned something from my video! While I experiment different video ideas, I will definitely keep making videos about climbing tips regularly.

[@brycesalvatore8581]

All great tips, but tip #3 was something new for me!! You're awesome bro. Thank you!

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the video helpful man!

[@aimsdudtt2690]

You're such a geek... I frigging love it!

[@GeekClimber]

Haha glad you like it!

[@aster5856]

I just recently got back into climbing, so this was really helpful!

[@Adelicows]

I love the side-by-side comparison!

[@weslaycock466]

Fantastic. Love your personality and enthusiasm in all your videos

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you love my videos man!

[@romantoscano868]

Geek Climber, I'm starting to become more serious about Rock climbing and I'm finding your videos to be extremely helpful, thank you!

[@andrewp7532]

I'm just getting into climbing and these videos have been very helpful, I really do appreciate it

[@heyed7059]

Your videos are legit. Very good advice

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the video helpful!

[@whitestrips1]

best climbing tutorial for beginners on KZbin. Thanks for making this

[@GeekClimber]

You're welcome! I will definitely continue to make more tutorials in the future!

[@ACoupleClimbs]

Awesome video! Will definitely consider using that backstep more...

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like it!

[@cwj138]

I hope I remember this next time I am at the gym. Thank you for your good videos.

[@GeekClimber]

You are welcome! If you practice often enough eventually this will become second nature to you.

[@NephilaClavata]

I just started bouldering two weeks ago. These videos are really helpful!

You are a proper geek, loved your explanation with examples

[@dheepshemare5833]

Holy shit that back step tip is great!

[@GeekClimber]

You will save a lot of arm strength by utilizing the backstep!

[@bpkdasbaum]

Neat, need to try the back step thingy on my next session

[@GeekClimber]

Let me know how it goes after you try it!

[@Spaniardface98]

Love your tips man! I found the backstep super useful to save energy!!

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like them and found the backstep useful!

[@erstaples1]

I could have asked this exact same question. Good tips, and I look forward to giving them a try today!

[@GeekClimber]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes!

[@furiousmat]

I like the fact that this guy isn't like a top professional athlete. He gives hints that address basic things that are worth paying attention to right within the first months or climbing. Like he understands that us mere mortals can't do a one hand two fingers muscle up.

[@vanleen]

Why do i laugh like a maniac when i hear you explaining? Its somehow hilarious, cant help it!

[@alma_nasiri]

Excellent tips! Thank you 😄

[@DrMario_666]

These are so great. Love this guy

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find it helpful!

[@michaldobaczewski3608]

[@MissFrequestion]

Thank youuuu for all the good videos.

[@GeekClimber]

You’re welcome! Glad you like it.

[@Theninjaonthemountains]

great tips especially to hold the handhold lightly and using legs

[@GeekClimber]

Yes! Glad you find them helpful!

[@grbradsk]

Yeah, I've just gotten to the stage where this is becoming more important for top rope climbing in the gym. I get too tired when I climb and then there's an overhang. It's really important to stay efficient.

[@jlweck231978]

I use to grip to hard and now I try to to grip harder than i need to. I did that a lot when belaying a climber. I would use a death grip. Now i am easing up and trying to just use only what I need to. Thanks for all the helpful info!

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find it helpful! Definitely try to only grip as much as you needed!

[@carazy123_]

Okay the back step actually looks insanely useful

[@philippbayer866]

That was a great help. Thanks

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find it helpful!

[@biottis4170]

Thanks the techniques worked 🙃

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the techniques helpful!

[@simonsays5094]

i never really liked rock climbing exactly because i'd get tired almost immediately, but these tips make so much sense and i was doing it all wrong

[@GeekClimber]

Yea these tips should help you a lot. Let me know how it goes!

[@miat789]

Holy heck man this video is fantastic Thank you so much.

[@marclevin1928]

Great video and nice work on the side by side comparisons! I'm just now getting back into climbing and am trying to get rid of wasteful habits sooner rather than later. I will definitely be working to incorporate these in future.

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the video helpful! Have fun climbing and don’t ever leave climbing again 😆!

[@qawi272]

Wow that is actually great advice!

[@kaynard_mames_jeenan]

You climb at vert hold? Awesome! Great vids man, keep 'em coming!

[@GeekClimber]

Yea I visit vertical hold once in a while. Definitely more awesome videos to come!

[@verticalnetwork1]

Great Tipps and a very good presentation! Climb on and greetings Tom

[@GeekClimber]

Hey Tom, glad you like the tips!

[@chocolatemint7300]

Very helpful! Thank you

[@GeekClimber]

You’re welcome! Glad you find the video helpful!

[@AlexMckillmore]

Regarding the backstep, I've never heard it called that. Though admittedly I'm not fully versed in climbing vernacular. I'm currently coaching my girlfriend and in instances that you would call backstepping, I tell her to 'torque' left or right.

[@GeekClimber]

Haha the name of the technique is not as important as actually applying the technique!

[@Jefferderp]

I loved this video (and I realize it's old now), but as a beginner I would suggest slowing down the pacing and examples so they're demonstrated for longer.

[@tattooedclimber7209]

Love your videos pal. Do you have any plans to visit the UK and climb over here?

[@GeekClimber]

I actually do. I will visit the UK on May to climb!

[@tattooedclimber7209]

@@GeekClimber you need to come to boulder UK in Preston. Would be awesome to meet you 👍

[@therealkevinleee]

Backstep is very suggestive tho if you keep an open leg with more flexibility it is also possible its just a preference

[@GeekClimber]

If the foothold is closer, open leg might be better. But if it’s far away like what I demonstrated, back step is for sure better.

[@scrimpmster]

Thanks. I will keep this in mind net time I'm at the climbing gym :-D

[@GeekClimber]

You're welcome! Let me know if the tips work for you!

[@alexnunez4019]

Great video

[@sarahdangerrr]

I think this is my rock climbing gym!

[@gyminme]

Hi mate that is so helpful video thanks for that.

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like find it helpful!

[@MrPILI86]

Very nice and helpful video, thanks for it. Make it a bit more professional (reduce background noise, take care for your posture, presentation style and the way you cut into scenes) and you will make a blast. Especially if you keep adding useful tips and tricks like this one. Cheers.

[@GeekClimber]

Hey thanks for the feedback, duly noted. It’s definitely a process of learning how to make better videos. If you have a chance to watch my first video, I am pretty sure you will see the improvements.

[@stefanotano4639]

Thank you!

[@GeekClimber]

You are welcome!

[@hydra66]

dear geekclimber. would you do a more detailed tutorial on twisting/ he twist lock? I'm struggling to get my head around the concept

[@GeekClimber]

Absolutely will put this in my list! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@1991mren]

good tips my man

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you find the tips useful!

[@ashwinrao5443]

is this vertical hold in San Diego? i recently visited and loved hanging out with friends there lol

[@GeekClimber]

Yes it's Vertical Hold! It's an awesome gym.

[@ashwinrao5443]

That’s awesome! Wish I had run into you lol I just started climbing and would have loved to get some advice 😁

[@GeekClimber]

Definitely come and say hi if you happen to spot me there. I will be more than happy to help!

[@vincentton4449]

do you regularly climb at vertical hold? or was that just for the video?

[@GeekClimber]

I climb at vertical hold sporadically. I mostly still climb at Mesa Rim.

[@vincentton4449]

ill have to say hello if i ever see you at VH! keep up the videos man

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like them. Definitely come to say hi if you see me!

[@augustinechao1685]

I am a beginner of climbing and in order to climb outdoor, I join the "top rope class". The coach barely teach any climbing skills, but just focus on the belay skills. I can't climb up and feel frustrated.

[@joshuavissers9139]

that last tip just opened my fucking eyes, thank you!!!

[@GeekClimber]

You're welcome! Let me know how it goes when you have a chance to try it out in the gym!

[@jonnyschindler3684]

Is this in San Diego near old town?

[@GeekClimber]

You are right!

[@BrydenPoseidon]

Instructions unclear.. Climbed a wall of light bulbs and my hands bled everywhere.

[@GeekClimber]

Haha it's not a good idea to climb a wall of light bulbs.

[@pockettangerine-13]

3 tips to last longer??!? I came running

[@alexanderhammond516]

Don't think I didn't notice your generic target art on your wall.

[@GeekClimber]

LOLLL how did you know it’s from target? 🤣

[@alexanderhammond516]

@@GeekClimber Haha, every Target has the same one. Great vids, keep it up man!

[@ZhousiChen-h8p]

Would you provide a Chinese version? I guess it will be popular:))

[@GeekClimber]

I do have Chinese subtitles for all of my videos.

[@harrisonhaverly3516]

If you mean you want Chinese audio instead of subtitles, then just use a video translation website (like votch.tv or a similar one).

[@seamuscannon4603]

I love the vid but, five point ten?

[@GeekClimber]

Glad you like it but what five point ten exactly are you referring to?

[@aprilcrossan173]

THAT LOOKS LIKE MY GYM ARE YOU IN SD?!?

[@GeekClimber]

Yea I am in San Diego!

[@aprilcrossan173]

So awesome! I just got a membership at VH lol

[@GeekClimber]

Definitely come say hi if you see me around!

[@simon42o]

[@ryanhrkac7760]

The third technique is a dropknee, not a backstep. Just sayin :0

[@GeekClimber]

Backstep is a milder version of drop knee. Knees are still above ankles for a backstep.

[@Imadeavideos]

You are like Kevjumba’s dad if he was a climber

[@tongmo8479]

haha~ so cute~ the content is indeed very helpful.

[@xzysyndrome]

Climb like a girl. Or, instead of muscling your way up the wall...use your arms for balance, and your legs for lift.

[@GeekClimber]

You are absolutely right! The best timing to practice techniques is when you run out of arm strength haha.

[@LALFAST]

Do you think that rock climbing was a natural part of our evolution, or that it is just for recreation.

[@davide6520]

great

[@GeekClimber]

👍

[@joshburger2217]

backstep is what a lot of boulder climbers call a knee drop right?

[@GeekClimber]

Backstep is a milder version of drop knee. For example, when the foot hold is at waist level it’s a drop knee, anything below that is a back step.

[@dissolve1358]

Ur not supposed to say point in 5.10 but great video

[@jonkrause6714]

Hmm. So basic on back step. 🤔 Got to check on that to see where I can use more. Definitely efficiency and conservation of energy is most important. Did an entire session last week trying to force power moves and so burnt out quick, but not necessarily pumped. Great stuff as always. 🤘

[@Duneuniverse]

Rock climbing is so hard

[@Matt-ig4yk]

Mayyyybe

[@iliakatster]

Just replace the words rock climbing, and this turns into one of *those* ads

[@OfficeSavant]

Nice video, but the Elizabeth Warren ad sucks!

[@BLITZKRIEG1]

at first I thought it said Greek climber. "won't trust him"

[@GeekClimber]

I think I look very different from Greek haha.

[@Ghost66997]

ok A) extending your reach does not always help. its a good way to slip on a foot hold. b) the backstep you were showing is actually just a small drop knee movement

[@JP-pu6zh]

"Are you the guy". Er no xD

[@GeekClimber]

I don’t fully understand this. Did I said “Are you the guy” somewhere in the video?

[@markgauthier2480]

sub fucking scribed my G

[@GeekClimber]

Haha I will push out beginner tips video regularly so stay tuned!

3 minutes to last longer works for both climbing and sex right?

That's not a problem at all man.

[@vince5474]

Dont shout so much, in all your videos, your mic is peaking. Awful! Content is good.

I am using a different mic now, so for future videos the audio quality should be better.
