Great video man, I shared this to /r/Climbing because I was so impressed and it's been well received, I hope you continue with the high quality content!
So you’re the one! Thank you for showing me such a kind gesture. I’m really glad that you and other folks appreciated the video. Psyched to continue making more! If you’re ever in Sacramento, I owe you a beer and a belay (in reverse order).
I don't know what his background is but it seems like he has a great anatomical understanding and finds ways to compare some techniques so non-climbers can easily grasp it as well.
I thought the first rule of climbing was "you always talk about climbing". Just kidding, very informative video. I was surprised by how intuitive those rules become once you consciously start applying them.
Thank you! I've been climbing for two months now and I wish someone had explained this concept to me before. You make it so easy to understand. I'll definitely be consciously applying this at the gym tomorrow. I can't wait for more videos!
I’ve just started climbing (been five times) and have been finding your videos extremely helpful! The quality and simplicity of content along with great camera angles and editing to see what’s going is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Great video on describing such a simple technique in climbing but one of the most useful techniques ! When I learned this I learned it as: if I’m reaching with my right hand to the next hold I need to make sure that my right foot has a stable foothold (and vice versa). This way it helps prioritize footwork when climbing. Keep the good work! 👍🏼
I was a bit confused but I think Ive got it now. When he says "use left hand" it means left hand is pulling while right hand is reaching. So if right hand is reaching right foot must be stable & pushing as you say.
i am really new to climbing and this basic but fundamental things are blowing my mind. Thank you so much for doing videos like this and hope you continue to break down climbing into digestible portions. Videos like these explain why people look/flow so different when they climb
This is an incredibly useful video, I'm fairly new to climbing and this just gave me so much to practice and think more about to climb more efficiently. Thanks!
Love the videos so far, especially showing one pass with opposite foot/hand and the other where you barn door. Would be cool in future videos with similar effective/less effective comparisons to show a side-by-side of either video or just pictures of the two holds on same section of the wall.
Your videos are very informative and can save viewers from a lot of injury and wasted time! Thank you and please keep up the awesome work! I would love to see more videos about movement on the wall. One exercise I do a lot is to climb a few grades lower than my on-sight grade and hesitate for 3 seconds over every next hold. Could you possibly do a video about body tension and it's importance when climbing?
Thank you! We have our youth climbing team practice that same drill and call it "hover hands". I'll definitely keep body tension in mind for a future video topic.
I reallllllyyyy like your tutorial videos!!! you explain everything very well and not to much blablabl right to the point and clear!!! hope to see more videos!!!
Brooooo, the "back flag" litterally put my face in the wow position haha. Fire. Thanks for the video. I have a lot to learn and am excited for your chanel.
This was the first video of yours that I watched. Such an unexpected pleasure meeting you at Pipeworks today (I don't even live in Sacramento, I just happened to visit for the day). Your videos have helped me and many of my friends so much! Thank you and good luck with everything!
Excellent video - been bouldering for a few months on my own and this is the first time I've seen someone explain the concept of contralateral movement in climbing - you've blown my mind lol. I am going to try this the next time I go!
I'm always teaching all my new climbers using basic concepts in physics (force*sin(θ) for smearing), flagging and backflagging to modulate your center of gravity, and so on. They always laugh at me for it but you've done the same thing in a much more succinct way. I'm definitely sharing!
Very informative video, I've never thought of it this way and makes it easier for beginners to understand. Subscribed and looking forward to future videos!
Idk who you are but your videos are in the sweet spot between informative, brief/succinct, and detailed: no fluff, no flash, no excessive or annoying commentary…just substance. ⚡️Real elegant shit bro. I hope you stick to this formula, cause I can’t stand all the excessive commentary and b-roll material others are putting out. 🤟🏿
Wow, a lot of work & effort must have gone into making the video, good job!! Never used an inside flag before, thanks for another idea to my "move bank" :)
Thank god I'm not the only person teaching this as the first rule of climbing. I teach my kids to weight the same foot as the arm they are reaching with and it seemed to be better received. Additionally this rule holds true all the way up to the highest levels of climbing with very few exceptions (and more often than not the if breaking the rule feels easier then that climber has noticeable imbalances).
Hey man I just stumbled across your channel. I’m dropping a sub in hopes you make more great climbing videos like this one! Awesome explanations and nice video quality!
Just discovered your channel and subscribed immediately. Thank you for your effort! I really love to know why I do or should do things or moves. Your explanations help me a lot!
Someone, Bridwell? Prat? Who knows? said the first rule of climbing is The leader never falls. The second rule of climbing is the leader never liebacks. Then he observed violation of rule two often leads to violation of rule one.
Honestly barrier breaking for me. Im new to climbing within the last year and im trying to work on using flagging more effectively or when at all to use it. Thank you for the insight
..is: You do not talk about Climbing. The second rule of Climbing is: You do not talk about Climbing. Third rule of Climbing: Someone yells "Take!", goes limp, taps out, belayer shortens and locks the rope. Fourth rule: Only one wall to a Climb.
It's actually nice to see the muscles and how they work. Some people twist or turn their backs, but he is keeping his completely straight all the time, except if he demonstates bad moves.
This is really useful, but I find it quite difficult to know when to flag or use heel hooks. Idk why they seem unnatural to me. I will try to practice these types of things whenever I go to climbing summer school. Ironically, you don't get taught much there. Thanks for the tips.
Question on 5:20 - I guess I'd have to be there to feel it, but why wouldn't you go hips square with your right foot pushing off the wall, so your right hand can grab the first move? Is it because of an overhang wall and hips square would put my center of gravity too far away from the wall and I would fall off the wall before I could even start?
I don't know mate I've never heard of anyone getting tendonitis, pulley, shoulder, elbow, injuries while walking lol, so I doubt that to our body climbing is as natural as walking its a long progression to shape your body into being able to go through that much strain and not injure yourself. Still great video thanks a lot.
Hmmm it’s not going to get around me being 95kg and 6’4” though - route setters scrunch these starts up so much that they are almost always the crux or simply impossible for me (usually harder than the actual crux for everyone else!)
What’s the title of the background music at min 1:40-4:30? I found a song called “No more war” by Darlle Records and few artists with the same music, but I couldn’t find the version with plain music.
Typically, back flags are preferred when the foothold is high while inside flags are used if the foothold is lower. You can imagine that it would be difficult to twist in and out of a scrunched position if you're inside flagging on a high foothold. In my experience, inside flag is a bit of a "forbidden" technique in that it's so rarely used. I've only done them on start moves as it's too much of a hassle to twist and untwist out of them mid-route. Back flagging and outside flagging are usually much quicker options. Hope that helps!

@@movementforclimbers haha you're welcome, I'll gladly take you up on that if I'm ever around!
To be good at something, you need to know its principles. To be great at something, you need to know when to break those principles.
I’ve watched so many “how to” vids on climbing but yours explain small things that go a long way, thanks my dude!
I don't know what his background is but it seems like he has a great anatomical understanding and finds ways to compare some techniques so non-climbers can easily grasp it as well.
I bet you still watched more videos after this
I thought the first rule of climbing was "you always talk about climbing". Just kidding, very informative video. I was surprised by how intuitive those rules become once you consciously start applying them.
I thought it was gunna be "have fun and be safe"
Came here to comment exactly this
its clearly: You cant apply too much chalk
I love your temperament brother. And the fact that you are so humble and can teach the pants off most other guys I've seen is very inspiring.
As a climbing coach, your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites
That inside flag is clutch! Thanks man I actually learned something new!
Thank you! I've been climbing for two months now and I wish someone had explained this concept to me before. You make it so easy to understand. I'll definitely be consciously applying this at the gym tomorrow. I can't wait for more videos!
I'm at V3 and no one told me these! Great tips, very logical. Can't wait to climb next week applying these guidelines.
I'm at the edge of v4 and it solved literally all of my problems (I had 2 v3s and a 4)
Your videos are helping my bouldering progress far better and faster than any other videos I've seen. Thank you.

A great Thank you from France !
After 5 years aways from a wall, i watch all your videos !
THANK YOU !
This is one of the best explanations of contralateral movement I've seen. Excellent!
This was exactly the kind of video climbing I’ve been looking for. Clear, concise, super helpful, keep them coming. Thank you.
This is an incredibly useful video, I'm fairly new to climbing and this just gave me so much to practice and think more about to climb more efficiently. Thanks!
This just a 6 minutes video shows me a lot of mistakes in my technique which i was not aware of. Thanks!!!
Probably one of the most useful videos out there on climbing mechanics. Great video!
I pretty love this simple video. It talks about the true spirit of leveraging gravity. Every climber should stay natural to the projects. Thanks!
This is the kind of climbing advice I've been looking for. I wish I had seen this month's ago.
This channel is science meets climbing. Love it.
Your channel is like a climbing bible, very useful for beginners like me. Thanks for your tips!
Love the videos so far, especially showing one pass with opposite foot/hand and the other where you barn door. Would be cool in future videos with similar effective/less effective comparisons to show a side-by-side of either video or just pictures of the two holds on same section of the wall.
First climbing video I've seen that mentions this. Good quality as well. I'm looking forward to more video's.
Love the simplicity, and the music is great, thanks!
this channel is phenomenal. really connecting with your knowledge. just started climbing and love watching a video or two a day to learn something!!

Your videos are all gold! I have to watch them all twice to let them sink in 🧐🤓
Wow! Great instructions and clear demo and video production! Thank you. Please keep making more.
Great explanation! In taijiquan this is called “avoiding double heaviness”!
Thanks , beginner here. Looking forward to applying the tips !
This is very very good. Thanks a lot for your work
I reallllllyyyy like your tutorial videos!!! you explain everything very well and not to much blablabl right to the point and clear!!! hope to see more videos!!!
Love the breakdown of human movement! Great stuff! 💪 🧗♂️
Brooooo, the "back flag" litterally put my face in the wow position haha. Fire. Thanks for the video. I have a lot to learn and am excited for your chanel.
Thanks for the quality video mate

Man thank you so much for sharing this. Finally have an explanation for why people at the gym play with their legs even tho there is no foot holes
Simplicity but absolutely vital to flow, great tutorial well presented :-) Keep them up!!!
Just started climbing. This is soooooo helpful and well explained. Thank you
Excellent video, dude. Very well produced and very thoroughly explained. I'm excited for more videos!

This was very helpful, looking forward to more videos! Thank you!
Thanks a lot for your incredible valuable, well edited content.
Great work my man!!
Wow! You're a genius!!! You simplify things so well! Super useful, thank you!!!
Took me around 2 years to figure it out by myself and you're explaining it much better ! :D Very nice video 👌

Awesome video - clear, informative, and well-edited!!
You have the best rock climbing videos ever!, so in depth and simple yet Hella helpful. Thank you
Great video! It'd be nice if you showed side-by-side comparisons of bad and good movements.
Thanks for the feedback! Noted for future videos.

Your video is a beautiful piece of art!
Very informative and easy to understand videos, cheers!

Hey man I just stumbled across your channel. I’m dropping a sub in hopes you make more great climbing videos like this one! Awesome explanations and nice video quality!
great work mate. Keep doing these. I pressed the bell button.
Great video. Thanks!
Amazing video! Can't wait to try it out. Especially the starting with one leg was always a problem for me as I didn't know which one should I use
Awesome content, man! Keep it up and thanks for the knowledge!
Love your video! Great quality and thanks for explaining the techniques slowly and carefully!
You need contralateral movement for efficient balance but you can disable that in your movement
Thanks for a very clear and helpful video! Super easy to imagine, good examples
Thanks for the ideas, just getting back into this and i may as well be starting over. Probably should anyways i doubt i had great technique.
best video so far! thank u for sharing
Just discovered your channel and subscribed immediately.
Thank you for your effort! I really love to know why I do or should do things or moves. Your explanations help me a lot!
Thanks for the enlightening lesson for us beginners!
wow!!!!!!!!!!!! your explained this concept beautifully. I learnt so much from this
Thank you! This is very useful. Hope to see it being applied when I climb
Gyms in the US look so empty, here in France it's always packed
piupiu yes there’s literally nobody in here. Almost like he’s climbing when they’re not open
France is terrorist controlled
Great instructional video!
Someone, Bridwell? Prat? Who knows? said the first rule of climbing is The leader never falls. The second rule of climbing is the leader never liebacks. Then he observed violation of rule two often leads to violation of rule one.
awesome - looking forward to more!

The first rule of climbing is you don't talk about cl... wait what?
Simple and insightful by the way. Good video.
Loved the video!
The real first rule: Take your shirt off
It's actually nice to see the muscles and how they work. Some people twist or turn their backs, but he is keeping his completely straight all the time, except if he demonstates bad moves.
idk why I find the moving back muscles really sexy, especially in men.
I need to try climbing in a sports bra😂
@@robynmcsharry9611 If you've been climbing in anything but yoga pants and a sports bra you're doing it wrong. lol
@@RobbyRobinson1 Indeed
I needed to see this. Thank you so much!
