In this slab climbing masterclass, Hannah Morris Bouldering teams up with pro climber Jenya Kazbekova as she shares her expertise on the art of slab climbing. For those of you who don’t already know Jenya, she’s a extremely accomplished competition and rock climber, who at 16 became the Ukrainian champion and is a regular face on the international World Cup circuit.
In this video, Jenya breaks down the different types of slab climbing techniques. She covers a range of topics, including body positioning, footwork, balance, and weight distribution, all essential skills for climbing on slabs. She demonstrates various techniques for improving your slab climbing skills, including how to use your body and feet to create friction, how to read the rock, and how to stay balanced on even the steepest slabs. In the session, you'll learn how to execute slab climbing moves with precision and confidence, and take your climbing to the next level.
Meeting Jenya, I was really taken with her attitude towards climbing as a sport that constantly gives knowledge and growth and her insights into mental training for performance. I hope you enjoy getting to know her throughout this session as much as I did.
00:00 Meet Jenya Kazbekova, World Cup Climber
02:23 First Slab | Trusting your feet and finding balance
09:09 Slab two | Dynamic vs Static
12:25 Learning how to move dynamically on slab and vertical
16:32 Slab three | Coordination moves on the slab
20:09 Final Boulder | Orange slab with slippy feet

This so far my favorite “teaching” video on the channel. Explanations from Jenya are extremely helpful and very detailed and Jenya seems pretty confident in what she thinks is most important on a boulder. Just wow

Really great content Hannah, Jenya provides fantastic coaching tips - 45 degrees of force into volumes. Love these collabs, it’s so relatable to see you progressing as a ‘normal’ climber trying and learning with this kind of input, I think it’s good for the 80% of us who are paddling the same boat.

@PfropfNo1 Жыл бұрын

Great explanations. You want your foot as far as possible from the wall, so you can lean into the wall, and you want to apply pressure vertically onto the volume. However, what they didn’t tell you, is that both of these tips are contradictory as by moving the foot farther from the wall, the angle will become steeper or worse compared to the vertical degree. So it’s a trade off: You are slipping -> put your foot closer to the wall You are falling of the wall because you can’t lean into the wall -> put your foot farther from the wall.
