This is SO USEFUL! I am 67 years old and am heading to my first indoor rock climbing adventure in a few days. Thanks so much! See ya on the wall!

That is so inspiring that you’re trying a new activity like indoor climbing at 67!! Good for you 🥳🤩 I hope you have fun and fall in love with climbing 😊

Take advice from the pros and be careful of your tendons for the first year. If you feel a twinge, stop. Watch other women climbing for style. Have fun.

As an experienced climber (and recently a climbing instructor at a local gym for me), this was nice to see some straightforward ways of explaining ways to use some of the harder holds.

I turned 70 in March this year. I started climbing in July when my son suggested it might be fun. Still on level 1 & 2 so far. Jugs are definitely my favourite hold at the moment. Great tips, and very clear exolanations to help my progression to crimps, etc. Thank you. 👏👏

I've been climbing like 4 times now and this makes me feel much more informed about the holds I've heard people mentioning

I just went to my first indoor rock climbing gym with friends. I've never climbed before, so I learned a lot very fast. I was able to get to a tough V1 with what I now know as a crimp I couldn't manage. I'll be back in the gym next week now that I know what to do!

@JayZoop Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tips. I'm 44 and weight 260 lbs. I've gone to the climbing gym twice now and I'm liking the challenge. There's always somebody there to strike up a conversation and give good climbing tips.

I'm bouldering and climbing indoors and outdoors for like 8 years now. I've seen a lot content on KZfaq and other platforms and it's always great to see someone new doing these kind of things. It's refreshing. Keep going with this great work. Really like your style💪🏻 And to answer your question 😉 Slopers and pinches, especially in a compression style problem Greetings from Germany ☺

Just in case anyone was wondering, when Micheal was counting with his fingers he made a 🤙 kind of gesture when he got to 6. This is because in Chinese culture they use that hand gesture to represent six, since it’s similar to the character for it.

@connortremblay1259 Жыл бұрын

I mean, my favorite hold has to be the jugs. Mostly because a jug is generally what you'll be grabbing when doing dynos, but also because of the weird looks I get when I'm discussing a route and say something like "it's got nice big jugs that you can really get a good grip on" in public. That all being said, I did develop a certain soft spot for crimps after climbing for a while.

As a beginner I struggle now with big pinches that look a bit like bread loaves. Thanks for the video, it helps a lot understanding other content in English about climbing (I'm French and know nothing of these technical terms. Actually maybe I should learn them in French as well ^^).

@tomatodamashi Жыл бұрын

Yeah, whenever I see those big pinches, I do everything I can to avoid them. Even trying to skip them to reach the next hold. They are my kryptonite
