Hey man, I stop in every once in a while to watch. But just wanted to mention how well planned/worded/edited your videos are. Each one is so informative in its own way but not overwhelming. The most consistent climbing videos and channel in the game for sure. Keep doing what you love and great things will happen.
Ah this is awesome. Thanks for watching all the way through and for the great feedback. Really does help me as a creator know whats working and not. Love it, we got this man! Thank you!
How much did he pay you to say that lmao He saied the word share 5 times in the first 40 secs He repeats the leg move 3 times like its a fxking dragon ball episode and he keeps staling for time lmao He's also cooky about his aproche to the route like... Its V5.... Amd you're talking about the foot work like its a master piece Mate. Its normal. It is normal. You should check a magnus video or something cuz this dude looks like an intagram phony and talks like one and acts like one Lmao
I always felt that slopers were so strange, because I wouldn't feel grip while trying to use them, but the times when my feet slipped I'd find myself hanging from a sloper surprisingly well. So yeah, it must be that "no pulling" thing.
You’re videos have turned me from a dynamic climber, to a static climber. I used to only use power, but would find myself burning out within 30 minuets. Can honestly say I owe my progress to these videos!
I am nearly twenty years out of the fun and excitement we all get from climbing, only been back for a couple of weeks. We used to climb on 5a-6c back in the day, no V's at all. All of your content is helping immensely, just a little tip a day, great work.
I love how I watch 20 of your videos and still not on my recommended. My wife watches one nail video and my entire feed is full of makeup videos. Ffs so annoying. Love your videos my guy.
Went climbing today and ur vids really helped me improve. Thank you so much! I’m kinda new to climbing as well (well I’ve been climbing for a while, but more for fun and not trying to improve) and did a V2 for the first time today!
Love it ty. Same problem I've been avoiding slopers because they're challenging but also holding me bk from really progressing and getting my lead cert.
One of the reasons why it's my favorite hold. It's figuring out the sweet spot on a sloper hold, It's challenging and rewarding indeed when you find the sweet spot. Thanks my friend!
For me holding slopers is all about using my thumbs (by far the most underrated fingers), reajusting my hands as little as possible, moving fast and not wasting any time on the slopers, and above all, BRUSHING THE HOLDS ;P Great vid!
Slopers still make me nervous because I took a pretty nasty fall on a problem that had a lot of them. Will try some of these tips, hopefully it'll give me more confidence in trying again.
I am working so hard on learning to handle slopers. I know this technique video will help and I also know I just need a little more core and grip strength to be able to manage keeping myself close to the wall. Work in progress! :)
Keep weight below, keep low. Cover as much SA as possible. Straight arms, bodyweight for friction. Pull and throw to next hold, set up footwork. Find the spot: find the dip, forearm? crimplable? shift to side?
Slopers drive me crazy lol thank you so much for all these tips! Hopefully I'll have a better attempt at my current project next time I'm at the gym. :)
I've got large hands with a big internal grip surface area which means that I often have to do a different body and hand position than everyone else because I can't get much of my hands surface area on the holds. I hate them and can't get much inspiration simply by watching others do the route
Slopers always get me a bit freaked out, but it is the case that once I sort of know where my weight should be and where my hand placement should be... it just snaps into place. I'll sometimes down climb a bit if I over shoot a specific sloper because it simply won't work in the wrong position.
Love your videos - they're really helping me learn to climb and inspiring me to keep climbing. You seem like a super cool dude that would be a ton of fun to climb with. Keep the content coming!
It's the second video of you that I watched and hell you got my sub: Totally deserved! You explain things so greatly, I'm gonna aim to bigger climbing goals cause with your explanations I'm sure it's gonna be way easier! Improving the body and the knowledge simultaneously, I love it. Love from France :-) Keep going mate! And thanks for sharing all those!
Good tips, dude! Nicely covered too. Ended up spraining my wrist on a nasty large sloper a couple weeks ago. Remember to not pull might have helped. :)
ScrabblePlays Thanks man, I should had posted this one sooner lol might had helped :) make sure you heal up before you jump on them again. Wishing you a fast recover!
My boy hectorious! Oh, I'm sure you already have the strength for climbing and just need to pickup the skill, thats all! Maybe you and your friend Peter McMuffin can join me for a session lol
Hey! Really loving the new edits to show correct and incorrect movements. Smooth transitions and the red and green check marks denoting the moves. Oh, and I hate slopers but only cause I haven’t had a lot of success. Thanks for the tips and inspiration! 👊
Awesome! I'm trying new edits and getting feedback like this helps. Greatly appreciated! Just make sure you don't avoid the slopers! the more you climb them the more you will understand and enjoy them. Much love my friend!
Yo I met you on the 45 at LAB at the beginning of the month. I wish I saw this vid while this damn problem was still up!!! Gonna follow for all the plastic betas!
Only just started encountering slopers so my opinion isn't yet formed. There's a problem I've been working on the last couple of visits so I'm going to take this into account when I attempt again later today.
Have just began climbing (about a month). Progressing nicely and want to start tackling 'half dome holds' (definitely not the technical name). But essentially they are deep half domes. There is definitely room to get the hand around (the climbing gym has it rated from a V1-V3) but just no idea what position my hands and fingers should be in.
@@willypp13 sorry I should have clarified more. I'm talking more on off days when I don't go to the gym. I know there is a risk of injury, but I did climb before for about 8-9 months. I just had to take some time off, so I want to build the strength that I had faster. Also I've been an athlete my whole life so I'm pretty in-tune with my body and how far I can and should push it.
@@geoffreywesterlund8601 Work on the antagonists with something like the powerfingers finger strengtheners. A better balance between the muscles that close your hand and the ones that open your hand allow you to crank out more gripping power. Also work on strengthening and balancing your core. You pull a lot in climbing, so do some pushing as well.
You're awesome dude. I'm just starting out and you're helping so much. I have a quick question though. In the gym, people barely talk to each other. Is this because the climbers are focusing on climbing, even when they're not, or are they arrogant? I'm not trying to trigger anyone, I just legit want to know.
@@bouathepya lol thank you. I understand this now. Just cleared my first 5.10 b pretty easily and i was totally ignoring someone by accident when looking at the problem.
Ive found a good way to meet people at the gym is to tell them how well they climbed just after they sent a problem. Almost everybody likes it when people notice/share in their success :)
Hey ! Super instructive video as always! I was wondering what where the brands of your climbing pants ? can't find some good looking one but yours are always pretty cool ! thx
The pants I'm wearing in this particular video I bought at goodwill long ago. These are some old Heritage(forever 21 men) jeans really stretchy. But also just purchase my joggers in amazon. If I find a link I'll start adding it in the description of the videos =) Thank you!
I do everything possible- like dyno to the next hold- to avoid slopers on a route or problem. This just means that i need more experience and tips in order to get better at them. Thank you for the video, Bro!
Slopers are maybe my fav holds in climbing! When i was a beginner, there were no slopers. And we I start to see somes appear in boulder of my level, it was like an archivement. That s why I think I love them so much (and maybe because they are Fontainebleau signature holds also. And that's were I started outdoor climbing)
Slopers have always looked very hard and unclimbable, but now i've started climbing more slopers and actually enjoying them, anyway thanks for the good tip this will improve my climbing technique.
I changed up camera angles on this one because previous video I did on sloper had more wide shots (Link in the description). Thank you Julia and I appreciate your feedback! ;)
I always try gripping on sloppers and there are some sloppers that look like pinches but dont arent. Im also not confident with my hands when i place them onto the slopper because it feels like its just going to slide off and my hands are going to fall off and i try pulling and pulling. Edit: 1year I project v7-9 and slopers are fun
Hello friends! Haaaappy holidays. Wishing you all good sends =)
I've been climbing on a V4 level for so long and today, thanks to this video i did my first v5 boulder. Amazing. Thank you so much!
Hell ya brother! Keep on working hard!
Congratulations. A step up in grade is a HUGE step
Such a great feeling! Awesome work man!
Nice one bro!
Now do v15
Congratulations, v5 tough

Lmao
I suck with slopers so I'm kinda excited to try them next session after watching this
Gil Serranito u know him and Magnus made a video right? Ur also a clown for coming to TH-cam comments to complain about someone helping beginners
I always felt that slopers were so strange, because I wouldn't feel grip while trying to use them, but the times when my feet slipped I'd find myself hanging from a sloper surprisingly well.
So yeah, it must be that "no pulling" thing.
You’re videos have turned me from a dynamic climber, to a static climber. I used to only use power, but would find myself burning out within 30 minuets. Can honestly say I owe my progress to these videos!
You want to be both not just a static climber as many climbs require explosive movements that static climbers won't be able to make.
I am nearly twenty years out of the fun and excitement we all get from climbing, only been back for a couple of weeks. We used to climb on 5a-6c back in the day, no V's at all. All of your content is helping immensely, just a little tip a day, great work.
Awesome tks, I started recently to bouldering and slopers are the worst hold so far. This will help a lot. Thank you !
I love how I watch 20 of your videos and still not on my recommended. My wife watches one nail video and my entire feed is full of makeup videos. Ffs so annoying. Love your videos my guy.
LoL man never heard a TH-camr say “love you guys for watching”
Subbed just for that lmao
Alex Wiznarski same for me
Just went climbing for the first time. This is the one hold I couldn't work out. Thank you for the video.
i love slopers, probly my favurite climbing hold, all off thise tips is very usefull if you haven't climbed allot on slopers before
Went climbing today and ur vids really helped me improve. Thank you so much! I’m kinda new to climbing as well (well I’ve been climbing for a while, but more for fun and not trying to improve) and did a V2 for the first time today!
This is perfect for where I am on my bouldering journey ✌️
I’m new to bouldering, going for second session soon, can’t wait to try your tips🙂
Love it ty. Same problem I've been avoiding slopers because they're challenging but also holding me bk from really progressing and getting my lead cert.
Great tips as always man, feels so good when you find the sweet spot on slopers and finally send!
One of the reasons why it's my favorite hold. It's figuring out the sweet spot on a sloper hold, It's challenging and rewarding indeed when you find the sweet spot. Thanks my friend!
I really like the slow pace of your explanation
For me holding slopers is all about using my thumbs (by far the most underrated fingers), reajusting my hands as little as possible, moving fast and not wasting any time on the slopers, and above all, BRUSHING THE HOLDS ;P Great vid!
This particular holds had a LOT of chalk. Lots of brushing here lol Thank you!
Yours is the best channel on bouldering for me. Compliments on the structure and clarity. 🙏
Slopers still make me nervous because I took a pretty nasty fall on a problem that had a lot of them. Will try some of these tips, hopefully it'll give me more confidence in trying again.
Big slopers! Like crazy big ones, I haven't been able to figure them out. Thanks for all the tips! Your videos have helped me a lot
Glad I could help! Large slopers usually work best with slow movement and lots of patients. You got this!
I am working so hard on learning to handle slopers. I know this technique video will help and I also know I just need a little more core and grip strength to be able to manage keeping myself close to the wall. Work in progress! :)
Keep weight below, keep low. Cover as much SA as possible. Straight arms, bodyweight for friction.
Pull and throw to next hold, set up footwork. Find the spot: find the dip, forearm? crimplable? shift to side?
Excellent explanation, learned more in a few minutes than an hour of instruction at the climbing wall.
👍🏻
Thank you!
sent my first V3-V4 today because of this video!!!!
Notice in your videos you discuss what you did WRONG and what you did RIGHT.....very helpful method of presentation. Nice job!
Glad it was helpful!

New climber here! I found this so helpful for understanding this hold! Thanks! 😁😁
Love your videos! Ive learned a lot, thanks!!
Thanks for making these videos. I really enjoy watching, and appreciate how much work you put into all of them.
Appreciate you too my friend. thank you!
Love it. Thanks man.

You make this look so easy!

Very high quality content, I'm impressed.
Thank you!
i'm just starting out and your videos are helping so much!
Nice! Glad I can help out in a way :)

Awesome videos! I've been learning so many techniques from you and I'm also starting to really analyze how I climb. Thanks!
Thank you, Glad I could help!
You have obtained the POWER of THOR! he is proud
Great content, thanks for the upload. Love the detailed break down.
Thank you!
I'm very satisfied with this channel. Well explained & understandably. Well done, pal.

New to climbing , just subscribed

Slopers are the best! It how boulders are mostly shaped, so good for the real thing.
Cool, thanks!
Cheers dude!
Thanks super helpful
I think i love slopers bcz it give you challenge to find the right position to hold
Nice tip. Thanks!
Hey, what is the song in the intro? Cant seem to find it by Panthurr
same here!! :(
Is there a video on how to climb crimps as well?
Nice vid...very cool,liked and subscribed...i mostly climb outdoor natural but have come across version of slopers
Thank you! Hay year, I'm Looking forward to climb more outdoors this coming year.
I hate sloper holds. Thanks for tips, helped a lot
will try that tonight!
How do you build finger strength and forearm strength?

You are good at boldering
Love the support thanks
Why on earth would the algorithm recommend this to me, I'm too unfit to even get on a friggin ladder 🤣

Thanks a lot ! Keep rocking !
nice tips!!, also a can you give me the name of the song in 1:01. Thanks!!!
It’s a remix of the song The Fall by Rhye!
Sorry, not a remix, just the original song(;
Damn, that sloper had a lot of chalk on it
I do everything possible- like dyno to the next hold- to avoid slopers on a route or problem. This just means that i need more experience and tips in order to get better at them. Thank you for the video, Bro!
Ah yes, lets not skip slopers hehehe. There will be a point where you cant avoid them =) Thank you!
This sloper is dirty, man, How much chalk do you guy use? Incredible.
Just in case my thumbs up didn't make it clear enough ... I liked this video.
Hehehe thank you!
I'm still pretty new and have yet to fully figure out slopers
Nice video
Helpful as usual. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
slopers are still the hardest for me, sometimes i just use slopers as crimps and that works much better for me )))
Slopers is one of the hardest if not the hardest holds to understand. If I do find a little tiny nob on a sloper I crimp it hard! lol
what about when the sloper is actually just round like just half of a sphere on a wall at an angle where their is no sweet spot?
very good as always, but tell me one thing, this technique is igual in a granit climbing ? Thx.
This technique is used outdoors as well. Same concept just different texture/feel of hold. Thank you!
Hopefully I’ll get that pesky 5.11d now
What is the song at the start of the video?
I know it's late but can someone please tell me what that intro song is???
Not only do have to be active but to be PASSIVE by using BODY WEIGHT, as well.
Slopers are maybe my fav holds in climbing!
When i was a beginner, there were no slopers. And we I start to see somes appear in boulder of my level, it was like an archivement.
That s why I think I love them so much (and maybe because they are Fontainebleau signature holds also. And that's were I started outdoor climbing)
Great tips. One recommendation, please don't let the background music disturb the audience. Thanks!
Thank you and I appreciate the feedback!
What would that grade be in fb?
Slopers have always looked very hard and unclimbable, but now i've started climbing more slopers and actually enjoying them, anyway thanks for the good tip this will improve my climbing technique.
Slopers are the hardest hold to get used to, for sure. Glad you’re at the point were you enjoy them! My fav hold for sure. Thank you!
Great
Hi. Nice Video! Can you put the camera next time a little further away so the route is more visible? Otherwise with the close up it gets confusing. :)
I changed up camera angles on this one because previous video I did on sloper had more wide shots (Link in the description). Thank you Julia and I appreciate your feedback! ;)
I always try gripping on sloppers and there are some sloppers that look like pinches but dont arent. Im also not confident with my hands when i place them onto the slopper because it feels like its just going to slide off and my hands are going to fall off and i try pulling and pulling.

Where the link of the crux?
Rhye - The fall
I love you !!!!!!!
That yellow V6 is a V2 at best.
Facts
starts at 1:50
my climbing partner and i just went up a grade and suddenly there are so many slopers. i feel like i may be in the 5.11s for a while
i love slopers
i need to learn more lingo!
