I'm sure loads of people have said this, but my favourite part is that none of these tips were "V3 need to flag more" or "V5 need to focus on precision movements" or any other technique-specific problem. It's all about attitude and mindset! 100% why I'm subscribed to Catalyst (and also to HMB!)

@user-sr4jp9vr6e 6 ай бұрын

One other things I would do to increase my confidence at V0~V3 is just jumping off the wall on the comitting move. This way I'm practicing the fall and telling myself that it's not a big deal at all. This is especially usefull when the wall is higher than your confort height, or if you are a little scared of height (Like me!)

@Claudia18915 6 ай бұрын

Yes, I do this too! It really helps

@tcholton 6 ай бұрын

This is how I practice new dyno's (specifically, new types of dynos - different angles, etc, than I have experienced before). I jump towards the hold without any desire to actually catch it, but instead focus on distance and height and then just hitting the ground. Works very well for me and highly recommend. I usually give the flash go first, then do this if/when I fail.

I think "should" also stops us from giving ourselves credit when we DO achieve the challenge! When Louis finally got the orange v8, if he was framing it as "should" in his mind, it takes away any feeling of achievement because "yeah, obviously I got it, I /should/ have been able to do it all along". It's not giving credit to all the progress you made between that moment of thibking you could do something and then the moment of ACTUALLY doing it.

26:28 one habit I noticed that so many climbers do, also nathan: regripping almost every hold. You can save energy by focusing on grabbing the holds perfectly, especially on easier climbs. That can give you the missing 1-2% to top limit boulders.

Even though I’m a v3-4 climber, the third tip really resonated with me bc I feel like recently I’ve been avoiding certain v2’s(mostly slabs) bc I think they look kinda hard so I just don’t do them. So I’m definitely gonna start doing them again even if I feel should be able to do them and it damages my ego a bit, thanks for tips :)

As someone who has been doing this a while now my number one project in the gym is always the lowest graded boulder I can’t do.

Also it’s important that you be able to do the lower grades the INTENDED WAY and not using your strengths to avoid improving your weaknesses

Always enjoy Hannah and Louis. Might be worth featuring an, ahem, older climber sometime. I am 67 and have recently got back into bouldering after a pandemic hiatus. I was climbing about V6 before but now I seem stuck at V4/5. I would like to get better but there is so little specifically for climbers of my age. Maybe I need a training plan!

@johnnymuller7454 6 ай бұрын

Long comment alert🚨 As an almost 40yo climber, after a 10 month break due to a shoulder injury I learned, as we aren’t in your 20s anymore we need to focus on a healthy foundation and a balanced training plan. Like that we still make constant progress whilst minimizing injury risk. I split my trainings in 3 sessions: -1 high volume/endurance session doing circuits or lead climbing - 1 hard projecting session - 1 off the wall session to let my fingers recover (weighted pull-ups, front lever progressions, peg board training) - Additionally I have a daily (not only training days) 15-20 min mobility routine for shoulders and hips. On training days I do the mobility routine plus rotator cuffs stability exercises with therabands and low intensity hangboarding. P.S.:Most of my mobility exercises i got from a Ross Fulkerson video, you find him here on KZfaq. PPS: I’m not a pro, but have collected and distilled info from 1000s of hours of KZfaq content 😅

@dickhughes4420 6 ай бұрын

That sounds a great approach and one that I broadly follow in my mid 50s, the only other thing I would add is for the mobility part do a yoga, and or pilates class at least once a week, having a good hour session with structured stretching is the way to go

@markjones4457 4 ай бұрын

54, Falling hurts! Keeping a regular practice, doing some exercises at home, pull ups, sit ups, press ups, ab wheel, yoga asana etc. Pack running, hang boarding, and a can do attitude. Meditate. Remember, our bodies are self fixing entities, trust them! and keep on having fun!!

@kate-ne 6 ай бұрын

Something I realized like 6 months into climbing that I felt really dumb realizing but made a massive difference in my climbing--keeping my eyes on my next move. Visually watching the hold I'm moving towards until I firmly have a hold on it really improved my climbing. It seemed so obvious and dumb, but I just had a day where I noticed I was zoning out mid-climb and not really watching where I was reaching/jumping.

This video is incredible -- so valuable! I was breaking into intermediate grades when I fell off the slab and broke my ankle, so now that i'm finally permitted to get back on the wall, of course i'm right back at the v0-3 issue of struggling with commitment, and while ALSO sadly relating to the common issues for higher grade climbers. I was so exhilarated to hear Hannah and Louis talking about the "should vs could" issue and the super common issue of semi-conciously avoiding climbs that are "below our grade" that we fear we're likely to fail on, when in reality that's where we could learn the most. I feel like this video has given me a massive boost, thanks Hannah and Louis!!

What I used to do was let my belayer pick some routes for me when I had given my projects a try. I was allowed to pick a grade range, but not allowed to deny a climb and would have to actively fail the climb a whole lot to be lowered. This, plus downclimbing my warm up boulders in the same sequence I climbed them on the way up, has helped me such a monumental amount. Thanks for the video, the plateau bit hit close to home ;).

@ohnoeswhatsthat1335 5 ай бұрын

I'm actually tearing up a bit right now because of the change in mindset. I was very proud of Maggie for comitting, the break downs of the move are things that I can do for myself. Expecting it to still be scary after committing and saying it's going as expexted/according to plan is such a great mental trick. I also really love the mental excercise of finding things that are going better or proof that you van eventually get the move. It's a kinder way of speaking to myself and it's nice to have a counter voice in my head. It feels like my train of thought is being rewired 😂

I love the mindset he gives for the v5-7(?) about should vs could. I am about to graduate with a graduate degree in engineering and during grad school I TAed for a lot of undergrad classes. Originally I would be frustrated when I wouldn’t immediately know how to do one of their homework problems because I felt the class was beneath me at this point in my academic journey. But as time went on I realized that every professor or in this case every route has a slightly different flavor to the way they teach and you may have passed your class with an A but there will always be a few details or points of emphasis that you can learn more about when going through the material again

It is kind of obvious when you think about it: Mental mistakes are much MUCH quicker to fix than physical shortcomings. Imagine half of his lessons being "Yeah, your tendons and muscles are just not strong enough to do this, you need to do years of focused training and hangboarding" instead of "Think and stay positive and just give it a go instead of feeling down about yourself". I am not trying to throw shade at Louie, I think he is a wonderful coach and person, and his lessons are no less true just because they may be "easier" to implement. And as someone who has struggled with depression, I know how hard it can actually be to get out of your own head if you've spent enough time in there.

Great stuff. The should/could distinction is a great way to describe the pitfalls of grade entitlement that so often trip us up. I primarily sport climb, and try to break the phases of a project into Exploration, Commitment, ≥10%, and Send. The ≥10% phase simply means there's a real chance that I could actually send the climb in my current or upcoming session. It's easy for a partner to see when I probably *will* send, but it doesn't help for them to tell me that any more than it helps Janja to be told that she'll probably win another gold medal.

Louis’ comment on how we measure progress is terrific. I havent sent a new grade in 18 months. But after suffering a couple stints of finger injuries by pushing grade really hard, I haven’t been working hard projects for months. I’ve improved my climbing on a variety of styles, worked on flash and onsite climbing, and improved my consistency on near limit climbing on all styles. I always try to get new climbers to try the moonboard for that exact reason. Not only do you get stronger, but you also learn from not being able to send a single problem or even pull a single move that just trying and looking at every attempt for learning opportunities how to stay positive and take even the smallest of victories.

I'm only just getting back to climbing and it can be frustrating not being able to do what I once could. This video single handedly changed my outlook today and hopefully in general. Thank you!

This is really helpful. I've recently tried to stop giving in if a problem looks too hard. Last week i finally managed a climb that took me 32 attempts. Previously I would have given up after 3 or 4 attempts.
