So many climber channels are just super buff athletes doing ridiculous problems. I really appreciate your videos as they are more relatable that you don’t have to be a super buff athlete that only films successes. Seeing the progression of failing while you figure out the beta and seeing improvement each time is SO much more motivating for just beginner average climbers like me. Thank you for being a climber content maker for those of us not ready to free solo El Capitan…

Honestly, slopers might be my favorite routes when I can do them because they look hard/impressive, feel great when done right, and it really forces me to think and move carefully. Other routes, I can brute force my way up or break betas, but slopers force me to use all of my body.

Ooooh interesting! I do actually rather enjoy a sloper route once I've cracked the beta. You're absolutely right that it forces you to think differently about your approach to the climb. :)

Louis' coaching style is so epic. The positivity and encouragement is fantastic. Always asking questions and answering them with suggestions, but not always "Here's how to do it" is fantastic because the climber has to think of what works for THEM individually. Terrific work Hannah. Your progression is encouraging for all of us watching to go try more and more and not worry about failing. One variation of the wrist curl for forearms, i would open my fingers as much as i can to help strengthen fingers at the same time like Hannah was doing slightly. Get ready for the burn though.

I hadn't bouldered in like 10 years but I started going to the bouldering gym a few days ago and when my grip is inevitably shot after like an hour I just do all the sloper routes. Probably one of my favorite things to climb now. Nothing more satisfying.

@annslow41 Жыл бұрын

If you pause at 14:25 it's interesting to note the biomechanical body shape differences between you two, and how they may affect climbing. Most specifically, the different lengths of your leg segments: with nearly equal hip height, your upper and lower legs are quite similar in length, while his upper leg is quite short compared to his lower. It's most easily noticed in difference in knee height. Perhaps this helps him in movements such as where he easily sits his hip over his foot while you had more difficulty. He would be a really good runner, biomechanically having leg segment lengths similar to a cheetah with the long lower leg, whereas you would probably be a more powerful lifter Edit: interestingly, looks similar in his upper limbs as well, with shorter upper arm and long forearm

@hannahmorrisbouldering Жыл бұрын

This is such a fascinating insight. I've never really considered bio-mechanics beyond height and span, but it makes total sense that your limbs/proportion etc would effect how you move on the wall.

As a short person who is trying to get into climbing, I’ve become very aware of this. It has helped me tackle some problems in ways that taller people cannot, but it also has meant that some routes are clearly designed for people with different body types

@Gadgetmawombo Жыл бұрын

@slapthesloper Жыл бұрын

Slopers are my favorite and best holds haha although I am trash at open handing things. I think you can progress your strength at them a lot faster than crimps as well because it’s more fully body strength than tendon strength which takes a long time. Also most of the tips applicable to being good on slopers like direction of pull, hips in, brushing really just make every hold type / position better so improving slopers improves everything

Great video and tips! I suffer from wrist instability on slopers so all of this will be super helpful! Also, when talking about grip types, I prefer the classification that @Hooper'sBeta does, based on the hyperextension of the DIP joint. Half crimp the last finger joint is streight, full crimp it's flexed, closed crimp is flexed + thumb around it. Both full crimp and closed crimp poses risk to finger injury, the latter way more. Would still need to be trained to prevent injuries either on the wall or on the hangboard. Looking forward to more videos!

In the end, most sloper problems are pretty flowy and balancy when you get a good feel for them. And then they often feel really nice. They also give my fingers a rest from all the crimps I pulled way too hard on before, due to bad footwork :'D Also I cannot stress often enough how great a coach Louis is!

I used to climb with the open hand technique most of the time. It just felt more natural. Even on the fingerboard I trained in the open hand position. Meanwhile I trained my half crimp way more (still working on full crimp) and got more confident on crimps. It all makes sense now.

Really good video as always! I just noticed that you were wearing different shoes, was this for the project specifically?

My EBs are slightly too big for me as I got them in a bigger size for comfort and I was needing a little more trust in the toe so I switched for the send. ☺️

Ok I might be hormonal but I welled up a little when you sent that! Climbing is so emotional! Well done 🙌

Another tips for slopers, especially if you aren't used to work with them, is that they will never feel comfortable. You'll never have a feeling of "yes I'm holding it" and that's why it's important to come with a plan and execute it without going too slow or trying to be super stabilised. If you fail 2 times or more at the same spot, it means that the plan is wrong and you need to reconsider the body positioning on this part.
