Improve Your Climbing Technique: No Hands Climbing!

Рет қаралды 154,667

Күн бұрын

No hands climbing! Yup, this often feels like a bit of a party trick, but underneath all the silliness, it’s actually one of the best “secret” exercises or tools to great climbing technique.
The reason why, is that by eliminating the use of hands on the wall, you have to really learn how to use your hips, centre of gravity, momentum and feet in a very efficient and effective manner. No longer can you just “cheat” your way through problems by pulling harder. You actually have to think and climb well!
In this video, Tom guides you through some of the methods he uses and covers the “what, how and why” of hands-free climbing. We’ve got more videos on this topic coming soon, so keep an eye out!
Intro: (0:00)
Hip Position: (2:35)
Centre of gravity: (9:23)
Body position for dynamic moves: (13:46)
Outro: (18:53)

God this is a great video. I'm 62 and have been climbing for 46 years,. I used to do a lot of no hands boulder problems but need to get back at it after watching this video. My top 50's grades are 13b and V9 and I'm hoping to top them in my 60's.

5.13b and V9 at 60 is insane. I'm halfway through 21, have climbed V6-, and am hoping for V10 by 26. You are an inspiration!

My friends are part time bouldering coaches but I'm a noob. One time I was struggling to step onto a ledge, exactly like 7:53. Your video just solved the mystery in my mind and proves to be more help than my friends combined. Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed.

I love it. Climbing is largely mathematics and the part of that I love is that you can either calculate the equation from the ground or you can sense, feel and intuit a workable equation whilst you climb. Its such a diverse and explorative process, I love it.

I try to do this occasionally, it's really good practice. Lots of gyms don't have very many slabby walls however, which limits this practice a bit.

Vertical aretes can be used if really desperate... as can 1-arm climbing 😎

@ThundersLeague 3 жыл бұрын

Same problem here. Another thing you can try on vertical problems is to try and not tense your forearm. Or after every move, get into a position where you can let go of your hands.

In all of the world there's only 3 gyms with good soft pads you can fall 10ft down flat and it's fine: Seattle Bouldering Project, Austin Bouldering Project, and Minneapolis Bouldering Project. It boggles my mind people will boulder on anything else given the option.

I'm working on a project where there is (for short me) a really high step. Sometimes I'm able to get my foot up and then I really have to remember that I quickly need to shift my weight over to that foot so I can get up and move on. Holds for hands are really bad so I really need the body weight to work for me.

I would argue it’s fun either way! Depends on many factors, I love explosive, strong, and dynamic moves but my short stature (5’4”) calls for that a lot of the time. However I also love the slow, methodical, technique approach to those truly challenging climbs as well!

I'd say it's beneficial to avoid practicing the end point equilibrium when you get stuck unless you have spent a long time and am really stuck trying from the beginning because you miss out on building some more: strength, balance, endurance, confidence with the unknown and reactive problem solving skills whilst climbing

@gimmepowder 3 жыл бұрын

There's a wealth of info online regarding home climbing walls. Don't cheap out on the plywood or the supporting structure. Remember you're building it for yourself so make it as steep as you want. If you want a slab section and are height restricted you'll pretty much just be traversing. Personally I would recommend arranging the t-nuts in a grid pattern.

It is so stupid, if in your first move you simply put heel far from wall, it would work, same where you putting foot fingers, far from wall, but to have enough surface to make next move.
