----------------------
We’re now in the last intermediate stage where we’ll be tackling hard V5s and V6s. This is the turning point in indoor bouldering where beyond this level fitness starts to be a heavier factor than technique. Undoubtedly smooth climbing will always increase your chances of sending, but developing strength will give you more opportunities to implement your skills. This video will go over some of the more advanced techniques as well as fitness components. But first, let’s start with some unique hold types.
Intro: (0:00)
Hold Types - Pockets: (1:01)
Hold Types: - Misc Holds: (2:11)
Climbing Technique - Deadpoint: (3:15)
Climbing Technique - Awkward Starts: (4:30)
Climbing Technique - Cutting Feet: (5:33)
Fitness - Power Endurance: (6:32)
Fitness - Steep Climbing: (8:01)
Bloopers: (9:20)

I was deadlocked at V3 for about a year before I started consistently hitting V4s a year ago. V5s came on much more quickly, and now I'm hitting another deadlock at V6. V5 isn't super-consistent yet either--I've flashed 5s that suit my style but some still feel ridiculous. Kind of wild to see how well your videos have lined up with my plateaus lol

I use to climbed 25 years ago. It is time to start again. Already visited local bouldering gym three time and can solve every V4 problems. I feel like V5-V6 pretty “easy” to do but I have not enough strength in my arms and fingers. So you’re right I need focus on fitness: pull ups, push ups, finger board etc.

Thank you I recently started climbing (other than trees or fences or whatever on my own) and this videos have helped me a lot. There are a lot of things which come instinctual to me, but a lot I have learned with this videos (mainly thinking before getting on the wall). After 6 sessions in 2 months I just sent my first V5 (I'm not sure it counts, since I kind of broke the beta) and my flash level is V4. Edit: I did judo before, so I have decent grip strength and I'm fairly skinny which also helps. There are many Boulders where I know I'm just brute-forcing through which is a greater reason to go back to this videos and try those boulders using the techniques you describe.

Great video!! Very interesting to see the difference in grading internationally. For comparison, the holds and moves listed here are used at 6B/+ (V4) at the gyms in Moscow, Russia. Still, totally agreed with everything - I do think the gyms here under-grade their routes quite often. Thanks for the great video, as always.

I was so stoked to see this one! The high wall at your gym is sick. Also, I have the same pull up bar/hangboard setup. Do you find that the hangboard leans forward as you put your weight on it, making smaller edges more difficult?

@codyheiner3636 3 жыл бұрын

If the hangboard moves, it's not properly set up. Not a huge deal, but it shouldn't do that ideally.

Really good stuff. Would love to get more advice specifically about latching crimps on overhangs and developing more contact strength in general. When I'm doing big throws I often find I'm hitting the target open-handed or without body tension and I can't hold on. Maybe it's too hard to film but would love to see close-ups of your hands on some of these moves.

@alexgalays910 3 жыл бұрын

that's the thing though, if you train your open hand, you will be able to catch the hold like so. it's quite common to do that (also less injury prone) then re-adjust the grip to a crimp if needed (deep lockoff, moving laterally, etc)

In the advanced serie you talk about using the campusboard to increase power. However, i never use the campusboard but do use the moonboard. I feel like the moonboard also increases power, tension and finger strength while being more specific then campussing. How do you feel about board training? I don’t think you have covered this yet

@seangray8585 Жыл бұрын

For clarity, by "5 or more burns on the steep wall" (about 9:10) do you mean max climbable grade for the individual or something else? I normally use steep wall/roof areas of my local gym for tension training and would love to squeeze a bit more out of it! Thank you in advance!

I caught up pretty quickly Since I got back into it around 4 weeks ago or so and now I completed my first v6 yesterday (2 different ones in one day) I was really happy but I began to notice that I still had trouble completing certain v4s and more v5s. Is there any advice for this situation ?

true, I think you need a base level of fitness to do like 7+ climbs, but most of the hard climbs I send are because of a foot adjustment or subtle hand positioning. Not because of strength gains

@La0bouchere 2 жыл бұрын

I think he's right, though it's not that technique isn't important. More-so that by the time you get to that level you have pretty good technique, so strength starts becoming the limiting factor. You'll still have to figure things out and try out different approaches all the time, but you won't have to really learn or train more technique-wise like you do when you're learning at lower grades

@smockytubers1188 2 жыл бұрын

@@La0bouchere How do you mean not learning or training technique? When even the best climbers practice on bouldering walls they're not doing it for strength only. I might agree with an idea that raw strength becomes more important than before, or even that it starts to become important at all, once you graduate from the beginner level, but I'm just not sure I can accept the way he said it.
