Hello friends, This is a move thats used a lot when climbing. You could rock over either with your heel or toe all depends on the climb and foothold you're working with. Hope it helps. love you all and thanks for watching, you rock!

[@strahdaddi9822]

Dude, not the first time I've said this (nor the first person) but your videos are SO damn good. Thank you for all the hard work and detail you put into these.

[@philwindsor2884]

Love your stuff, helped me improve nearly every session i go to the wall :D Just wondering if you've found putting your content out has improved your own climbing in anyway, if so what ways and why?

[@christopherkwasny5333]

Do the shoes you wear effect it? Are there better shoes for that technique or any work?

[@qskakaley]

Honestly, the way you break down a move and discuss how and why it’s useful is the reason I think your videos are the best instructional climbing videos out there. For me, it’s not enough to just see a move in action: I need to understand why it’s useful in a situation in terms of climbing mechanics. There are so many different problems out there, so understanding how to adapt different moves and chain them together is really important. Understanding the how and why means I can more easily know when to use it and how to improvise/adapt it to the problem I’m working on rather than memorizing a move I saw in a specific situation.

[@Buttermi1kJesus]

I like how you really break it down. When you showed the difference between using your heel and using your sole/toes I was thinking it was obvious, but after watching you explain it stuck in my mind.

[@MightyAssa]

That dynamic move at the end is a goal for me. Must be great to be able to do that. Love your vids and happy new year Oswaldo!

[@andersonboy620]

That first foot adjustment is a genious one!!

[@heat.seeker]

This content is gold. Just start bouldering and all of these tips made me get to V3s from V0 in just 2 weeks!

[@abigailpegg1822]

This video is perfect. I love how you breakdown techniques showing where you want to go pausing the video. Showing the side by side shots are amazingly helpful. Any videos for beginners talking about planning the beta would be great. Showing how you’d start, pause and then talk about where you’d plan to go, why and the how.

[@calebwright4034]

I can’t tell if this is graded super soft or you’re just so good it looks too easy. Quality dude!

[@tenzinlee6393]

Agreed, looks like a v3 in my gym. One of those holds must be way worse than it looks.

[@carlam0nty]

As a beginner your videos are hands down the best I’ve found on KZbin that show a real breakdown of each climb. It’s so helpful to not only see how you approach a problem but to also explain your thinking to the depth that you do. Thanks heaps for taking the time to make these! :D

Hey Oswaldo. I live in the UK and have been introducing your videos to my climbing friends over here - they're so useful, and I love your chilled vibe! I've been watching your videos for about a year, it's been awesome watching you develop as a climber. I think this is your best video so far - keep doing what you're doing! And keep filming all the early attempts where you make mistakes, they're so useful to learn from!

[@rockentry]

First of all. Thank you so much for sharing the content with your climbing friends, This really means a lot to me. A year long subscriber thats awesome!!! People like you is the reason why I do the work. Love sharing this passion of climbing with you all. Looking forward to 2019! Thank you.

[@meganwong9508]

Oh man, I don't know if the transition at 1:37 was on purpose or not (person walking by - you appearing), but I loved it either way. That aside, this was a well timed video for me! This is actually something I've been trying to work on/better understand (the rock over) so it's great to have a video to go with it now. Finding the right place (and right amount of pressure) on the smear is what I struggle with, but this helps a lot. I also appreciate you going over the adjustment at 2:40! I think it's easy, especially for beginners, to fall into that trap of "climb upward and onward" without realizing sometimes you do have to down climb/take a step back. Thank you as always!

[@rockentry]

Good eye, Transition was on purpose took me a while to edit lol glad someone noticed ;) Yes, great point you have when climbing sometimes you have to take a step back ( adjust ) to move forward. It’s rare but it does happen. Thank you!

[@again7pyms]

The "climb upward onward but not down" thing is so accurate 😆😅

[@laclimber3892]

I love the way you breakdown climbs! I’ve been climbing for a long time but didn’t start paying attention to my technique till recently. I wish these would have been around years ago but they are definitely well done and helping me teach my newbie husband to climb.

[@ScrabblePlays]

Great video. I don't see too many videos about rock overs. I actually pulled my groin pretty badly a couple months back on a heel to toe rock over on a small hold with nowhere to put my other foot. It's one of those things that made me think I should do a bit more strength training for my groin with things like pistol squats.

[@rockentry]

Ah yes, I could see that happening. Stretching would do wonders my friend. You're right Pistol squats are great for rock overs! Specially after a rock over you press down with your feet like a pistol squat. Thank you!

[@deborahcustance2754]

I tend to focus just on the hand holds and forget to use the structures. Did you immediately know you needed to use the edge of the wall or did it take a few attempts before you realised using the wall was a better beta? I sometimes watch other climbers' betas, but it is so much more satisfying when I get a flash of inspiration and work it out for myself. Many thanks. Absolutely loving this vids.

[@rockentry]

Yeah, I immediately knew I had to go to the arete ( edge of the wall ) specially because of the starting position I was in. This problem I was able to flash it BUT I usually climb it again to try different beta and see which one works best. Let me share this with you. I used to struggle to flash hard project until I started watching other climbers climb and see why they do things a certain way. It's always best to do both watch and try to flash it yourself =) Hope this helps and thanks for your support!

Super helpful vid!

[@jacobfunnell65]

Hey! Another great video! I was experimenting with doing that chunking up of a climb today. Dave MacLeod recommends a similar thing when approaching hard and dangerous trad routes. I also recently had a tricky slabby problem at the edge of my grade range, and I managed to send it in part because of your advice! I had this long thin somewhat crimpy hold with matched hands, with the positive edge at maybe a 30 degree angle from horizontal, with a foothold way out to the left of it. I got up about as high as I could just from pulling, and I remembered you saying in a video "once I can't pull anymore, I switch to a mantle". So I did and I sent the damn thing :D As a request: it would be cool to see some climbs on tiny crappy screw-in holds with rubbishy slopey edges on slabs, because my gym has a lot of those :P

[@rockentry]

hahaha LOVE THIS! pulling into a mantle for the win! Im sure you got supper stocked after your send. As for your request. I'll see what I can do my friend ;) Thank you!

[@rockentry]

Oh wow, thank you! :) It’s too difficult for me to just reach out, specially to get a good hold on that huge hold. The large hold looks so easy to grab static (reaching) on video but you have to get it on the sweet spot.

nice tip, gonna try that out

[@pajaroprofeta]

Did you send the problem form last video? Really enjoyed that one and although it was "only" V6 looked way harder. I think your climbing gym should stop grading the boulders cause they seem really inaccurate. Glad you don't seem to care much anymore about the grade of the climb for your videos.

[@rockentry]

hehehe Harder it is! I have not giving it a solid go as I have been working on my project outdoors. I like to share with you guys the climbs I find more interesting and useful to help illustrate a technique or crux I'd love to explain or show. Regardless of the grade. I have my strength and weaknesses and the white problem shows what I need to work on, and I will. Thinking of trying it again sometime this week tho =) looking forward to it! Thank you.

[@iamfeejerz7705]

Yeah my gym started doing a weird grading system about 2 or 3 months ago V0-1 V2-3 V4-5 V6-7 V8-9 Etc. I like it but I dont at the same time. I like it because sometimes it's very difficult to actually judge a grade. Even when you ask other people it can sometimes be a toss up. I feel like it's also a good method to get people to forget grades and climb harder. But on the other hand..... I hate hate hate it out of personal bias lol. I'm working on getting more V7s and it's so sad to get a V6-7 and just visibly and physically know it was only a 6 lol. That being said, I thought this problem was odd because it seems like a really soft 7. But hey, you never know how difficult it is until you try it yourself. Also, wish me a speedy recovery lol. My shoulder has been killing me for the past 2 weeks and it's so difficult to take time off to actually rest and recover 😭😂😅😅😅 Love you Oswaldo. Keep up the good work.

[@rockentry]

You're ahead of the game! hehehe

[@philipppuchner1115]

6:55min: Is it not possible in that situation, to get your left foot as far to the left as possible, to counter the rotation off the wall? It seems to be, that when you nearly catch the hold with your right hand, the left foot is nearly on the upper panel of the climbing wall. Or, bump your right hand up the arete, then there is space to swap your feet (left foot onto the hold where the right one is). Ok, now the right foot is lose in the air. Probably just do a heelhook behind the arete with it, to prevent it from flying out during the move and probably rotate you off the wall. So, bump up, switch feet and go up with the left arm and not crossing over with the right arm. Probably the arete is worse than it looks like in the video, probably the angles of the wall or the exact placement of the holds make this beta harder or even not doable. But since the direction of the hold you're going to is exaclty the way you would need for a cross, it is probably meant that way. 7:10min: You are pressing off with your "wrong" foot! since the right foot is nearly straight, you can't get much puch from there. So you have just the upper hold. Again, swap feet to pull with your left arm and your right foot (the left foot is pressed against the wall for stability and to form a stable tripod -> 3 points of contact on the wall). Also your right hip would be close to the wall the entire time. Your feet would probably cut loose anyway because of the far away target hold, but with less force needed (=strength from your arms) to keep your body in balance. Also the reach is a little bit better. Using both points of contact on the same side of your body, makes it harder to do the move. diagonal climbing! Body tension between your left arm and right foot, or between right arm and left foot! Just use both ligaments on the same side of your body if it isn't possible otherwise (like moves are set that it isn't possible or way harder to so). I feel like especially boulderers, which have eough power for the Boulder, use this faster (because no foot switch) and therefore more "casual" but more or less harder version. BUT: try to climb as efficient as possible! I know, if you have the strength and you want to use it, you sometimes do. Try to make every move with the lowest effort possible. Imagine you are totaly weak and have no strength. What would you do? Does it means that you probably have to switch your feet more often and climb diagonally (often results in a backstep or outside edgeing or whatever you wanna call it)? Then probably you should consider doing it more often. I know, sometimes you just want to stay in the flow and feet swaps take time and feel clumsy, but sometimes you really save a lot of energy :) kind regards Phil

[@Xeratas]

first, great video. second @6:53 doing your next move with left hand first instead of right hand, doesn't work? it looks more natural to me and you wouldn't need to crossover your left hand afterwards, which makes it uncomfortable looking @7:07. since I can't try it myself i just can asume and maybe you alredy tested left hand first and it feelt bad. Iam just curious.

[@rockentry]

Oh, I could definitely see how you would want to try left hand first. I actually tried it that way too hehehe and it was terrible. If you release your left hand all you have on your right hand is compression from the arete which is terrible as soon as you release your left hand reaching for the next hold. Also, the angle of the hold is a lot positive when landing on my right hand and you have a solid large pinch you keep your left hand to pull in as you reach for it. It's so much better for sure. the next move on the crossover is really simple not complicated as it looks. The holds are really positive. Thank you!

[@coltonpaul3553]

Thanks for the video! I've been thinking about the point of the left foot smear at 4:00, and it might have been cool to see the with/without for that foot smear and how it affects the rock over since you said it was such a critical piece of the move here. I'm going to see if I can find something similar to test it out, but can anyone help shed some light on why it's so important (compared to just letting that foot kind of dangle there)?

great work! I have countered a problem recently, which is a very aggressive heel hook that it's on the same hight as my torso and I have to do a rock over on it. Can you help me with that?

[@rockentry]

Hard to help without seeing the problem or holds you’re on. BUT the idea here is to pull with both hands and use a smear on your other foot and when reaching out to your next hold you might have to lock of your other hand. Hope this helps! But again look for a smear or foothold to help you pull through.

[@gmakutube]

How do you know that you have to adjust to match the left to the right hand? Is it just the sense of body position and how it feels when you try to do the move without the adjustment? Or is it experience that you know without trying without adjusting first?

[@rockentry]

g mak Correct, You get the feel when you’re at this position, I could just reach with my left hand but it would be a struggle. Definitely With experience you will know how to adjust depending on your next move. As long as you practice technique you will learn why it works and you will build muscle memory and do moves without thinking much. You had a great point! Thank you.

[@acutebisectrix9461]

You can feel it by the amount of you body weight that you are still holding with your left hand. You always want to remove weight from that hand that you want to use in the next move (by first shifting your center of gravity away from that hand).

[@noahschaepe9751]

What is the Voice saying at the Start of the Video?

[@ralphmunn6689]

Nicely produced, man - I like the freezes/breaks for commentary and explanation. Unfortunately, I found myself moaning, "No, no, NO!!" all the way through it; you went straight to the intermediate "rock-over" technique while ignoring the more basic tenets of climbing which would have made this SO much more efficient. For two quick examples of what stood out most to me, compare the number of pulling moves to pushing moves employed; your ratio should be entirely reversed. And watch this again, paying close attention to your trailing foot. Count the number of times you DRAG IT up the wall, even when you're saying that the smear is important for the move. The "trailing foot" admonition applies equally to your "flags," which basically amount to lugging fifty pounds of dead weight up the wall. Your legs are BUILT FOR PUSHING, USE THEM THAT WAY!
