#1 SKILL Makes Overhangs EASIER

This is Derrick, he’s a brand-new climber and doesn’t think he can finish this route. Week 4 of the 6-week challenge where we take a new climber to climbing V3s.

Like most climbers, he noticed that the route is overhanging and thinks he needs god-strength in his fingers along with the ability to do pull-ups.
What he doesn’t know is that there is a technique that takes the weight from his hands and distributes it to his feet. Plus, it helps him stay closer to the wall which gives him further reach.
It’s my favorite technique and one that I personally credit to helping me transition to harder routes - it’s called the Drop Knee.
After this week of training, every time he looks at an overhanging route, he’s going to have the confidence to climb it."

I love this so much! 1) because you're coaching your parents, who are enthusiastic about learning what their daughter loves to do, and 2) because you're showing what it actually looks like to be a beginner, and how to progress. I imagine lots of people need this. Thank you!!

[@SendEdition]

Thank you so much Miles, I’m glad you like it and I hope it’s helpful

[@DAJ2000]

I love the sound effect with the 'video game xp' points. I'm going to imagine that when I climb.

[@mbenson501]

I like this new direction its helpful seeing people at my level instead of experts! thanks for the advice 😊

[@SendEdition]

I'm glad you liked it - thanks for watching!

[@RossPotts]

Great to see Derrick pick it up so quickly! Sorry to hear about your Mom’s ankle!

[@SendEdition]

Yea for sure! Thanks for watching :D

[@colleenh9347]

I started climbing 6 weeks ago and sent my first V3 today! I’ve been practicing my drop knees and making a lot of progress on overhangs. Thanks for all your videos!

[@derekdabbs7645]

Me, Derek, who struggles with overhangs. Saw the thumbnail/title, instant click lol

[@SendEdition]

That is so cool that you're Derek too! :) I hope you enjoyed.

[@JonWuClimbs]

Nice instructional video! As an older climber, I think strength training is also important to mitigate injury risk.

[@SendEdition]

Yes, 💯

[@ScratchRick]

This was a blast to watch! I'm going to tell my dad he needs to do more drop knees! 😁

[@SendEdition]

For sure! 😁

[@Charlotte-cr2nt]

I love this series, sad about Ginger as she was doing so well but great to see Derek continue the challenge for her and hopefully she’ll be back soon.

[@SendEdition]

I’m glad you like the series!

[@kevinrojas7665]

I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago and it was super sad as I couldn't climb. A cool thing is that top rope is doable once the ankle is close to heaaling and its also a good opportunity to work on other things like working out and mobility!

[@SendEdition]

Oof, I’m sorry about your ankle. And yea, Ginger is hoping to get on the ropes as soon as the doctors clear her for it.

[@kevinrojas7665]

@@SendEdition Thanks, Im wishing her a quick recover! Thanks for the good content!

[@julietteorwhateva2163]

Thank you for this video! 😘

[@SendEdition]

I’m glad you liked it!

[@dawsonkildal4821]

thats my home gym :)

[@SendEdition]

Really cool gym! I had a blast with the variety of routes and went back to it a couple of times while we were in town :D

[@benharrington1652]

I agree with the fact that the technique does take some weight off of the fingers. But on over hang fingers are still key at the end of the day

[@benharrington1652]

Also core

[@SendEdition]

Core is huge!

[@SendEdition]

Strength helps a lot. Especially finger strength, for sure

[@yaronrotem3721]

Hey, I think I have the same shoes as you(mad rock rover) I would love to hear your opinion on it🙂

[@SendEdition]

I’m loving the Rovers. Madrock provided the shoes for everyone in the video (hence the presented by MadRock. - discount code is in the description). I’ve been wearing them for a couple of months now but I’ve been wearing Madrock shoes for years. The drone LVs are my go to shoes but I love training in the Rovers. The Rovers are comfortable, stiff, and supportive - exactly what I need in a pair of shoes that I put a lot of millage on. I like being able to wear the shoes for the entire session without feeling like my feet hate me. Plus the rubber is sticky and awesome. I did have to get used to the bigger toe box but I imagine that’s because they are a neutral shoe and I’m used to moderate shoes. Now that I’m used to it though… I’m not sure how my feet will respond to the drones when I put those on for hard overhanging routes…
