What a great video! I really love the depth and details. The small animations make the viewing experience even better. Keep up the good work!

[@andrescalade]

Incredible video quality as always🤩

[@ArsiekDHOL]

OOhh wow perfect tutorial again!! didn't know all the variations of toe and heel hooks! Thanks!

[@Cloudensation]

Awesome video!!
I think there is a typo maybe “plantarflexion with resistance” should be “dorsiflexion”(?)

[@richardsonsclimbing]

Oh that’s true 😭

[@ManuelOctavio]

Great tips! Also, how fun to see my local climbing gym in the vid :)

[@LadyLaddy]

Nice video. I love toe hooks, and (for me) it's easier to find them on the wall as heel hooks. So, I will try to use heel hooks during warm-ups; maybe finding them within the gym is getting easier afterwards.

4:10 it happened to me once, leg stucked in jug, no injury, but fall was not nice. Since then I have little issue to trust high heel, when I do not so static moves. Dont wanna fall head first :/

[@alejand5]

I injured my knee placing a heel in a huge jug that trapped my foot
