Not seen the video yet but wanted to say: tried to emulate your flow and concentration on each foot and handhold last bouldering session and even easier boulders felt so fun. Thanks man.

Thats awesome man! yeah, when you typically focus on technique regardless of the grade you're on you tend to enjoy your climb more. Specially because you start to see improvement too! great point! Thanks for sharing.

That second move you do is very well-done. My footwork is not like that! lol.

I just started climbing maybe 30 days ago and I’ve improved my footwork and technique in general so much watching your videos but this one really gave me some insight, gonna go to the gym after work tomorrow and really focus on my footwork and not using my arms, thank you so much for your videos they’re awesome!

I try to climbing down to the ground to help me reflect on my footwork.

Laura Moser this is a great tip for a beginner, but for anyone really

Really great, yes!

Just wanted to echo this. Your explanations and demonstration are super helpful!

archaon90 This means a lot man, appreciate ya! More awesomeness coming your way :) Thank you!

Thanks man! I'm really glad to hear it's helpful for my fellow climbers. you rock!

Totally Agree!! It's really hard to point out bad form when you're a good climber and he does it very well. Learning so much!

Thank you! =)

10 months now :)

hahaha awesome!

It does get harder with overhangs and inclines because you really have to crank in on your feet to get your weight on top of your foot/hold. What I've been doing and it helps with both control and balance is Pistol Squats.. you do this and you will learn to balance with one foot and get used to putting your center of gravity on top of your foot and be able to press down with your leg and control your way up and down. Hope this helps my friend.

@@rockentry definitely have to practice the pistol squat yea 🙈🙈

Awesome! really happy these videos are helping out my fellow climbers. Thanks for your comment and for watching, you rock!

This means a lot me. This is the best way you can show your appreciation by supporting my work, really appreciate you. Much love!

Thanks man! glad you find these videos helpful. Most of the mistakes I point out are mistakes I've done in the past or mistakes I see when I help beginner climbers.

Thank you Joe! you the man!

Thanks for watching! soon I'll make more playlist.

Glad my content is helping you with your progress!

Awesome sandra! hahaha I love it when I get those Duh! moments and able to do the move afterwards. Glad you got to do the move too =)

Thank you! appreciate your comment.

Thank you so much Paul! I'll make sure to talk about 45's inclination in the future for sure. Great suggestion!

Definitely will be putting out a video on overhangs/roof climbs. Appreciate the detail on what you struggle with I will use this info for a future video. Appreciate your suggestion and support, you rock!

Appreciate ya!

This means a lot! Thank you!

Ah yes, I used to mucle my way up when I first started climbing and I actually thought that was the way to go. With practice you will start noticing a HUGE difference when you start focusing more on your footwork and pressing down on your leg instead of always using your arms to pull down. you will get it tho! keep at it and thank you.

"Crossing up" is the technique of having a "line of support" running diagonally through your core; for instance, if you're about to reach with your right hand, your "line of support" should consist of your right foothold and your left (stationary) handhold. In this case, your RIGHT foot is your SUPPORT. The foot opposite your "reaching hand" is your DRIVER. Your SUPPORT almost always requires a foothold of some sort, while your driver does NOT - it simply needs to be in the right position, which is again diagonally opposite your target hand hold, on a line through your CORE, or center of gravity. A key point about placing your DRIVER is that it needs to be high enough to STAY ON THE WALL until your moving hand reaches its intended hold. If one doesn't place their DRIVER high enough, it will come off the wall before the hand hold is reached, leaving only one leg to do the work of moving your core. There are several other salient points to consider when using the support/driver concept for efficient climbing, including which "sweet spot" to use on which foot (which engages the large muscles of the core,) and how torso rotation contributes to maxim use of skeletal strength and minimal use of one's pulling muscles. I STRONGLY recommend practicing this style of movement CONSCIOUSLY on easy terrain to create the proper engrams needed to climb harder stuff correctly! Again, Oswaldo, a well thought-out and produced video. I'm really liking the side-by-side comparisons, and I spend a lot of time hitting the j-key to see specific things several times!

Thank you

I do my research and ask a lot of questions, I fail a lot and learn from it. I do train A LOT both technique and strength. Thank you!

Joshua Schleman footwork on an overhang is definitely hard to learn, but what I can say is that keeping your feet higher will help you stay on the wall, and training your core is the most important thing for overhang climbing

Glad you find these videos helpful! When it comes to overhang it's not just about your footwork but your core to stabilize and have control with movement. I'll be making a future video about this for sure. Thanks for your suggestion and comment. You rock!

@@rockentry Thanks both of you, good points... and look forward to the next video as always!

Thank you and it does sounds easy but really hard to do at all times when climbing.

you the man! thanks for your support my friend. Appreciate you ;)

Thinking about making a future video to cover overhangs.

Thanks man and I really appreciate the support. Yes, at a certain point with subs and views you can monetize your videos although you get so little in return compare to the work that goes into these videos BUT I appreciate every bit of it if possible. I've been helping my sister with her diet & fitness and had her help me with camera work on this one =) hehehe

No comp for me I'll be climbing outdoors. Trying to climb outdoors much as I can =)

Horseflats?

It's not always positive feedback. It's just hard to please everyone and to be realistic, It's not possible. If it's not my voice it's the music, if not then how I speak or the editing. These videos are for people who find the content valuable and use it to improve themselves as climbers. That is my goal and purpose of this channel, share my failures and learnings. Although I don't see your comment as a bad one but as a constructive criticism, I appreciate it. I'll see what I can do in the future videos to improve the voice over. But, If it really bothers you that much I really wouldn't recommend this content, it's not intended to annoy anyone but help. Thank you.

@@rockentry Hi! Yes, my comment came from pure curiosity. I wanted to know if anyone shared the same feeling. Cause time and time again I come back to your videos, and it's the thing I notice! It's such a random comment that's not helpful for the climbing. I think I'm just bored, and over-noticing an aspect! Thank YOU!
