I'll add in a different piece of advice that I've gathered from a comp climber: if you are going for a single small hold in a dynamic way, stare it down intensely (as if it was the only thing on the wall) before and throughout your whole movement towards it
We shared a bit more of a ‘real-time’ coaching session this week. You might enjoy seeing a look at how Coach Be pays attention to small details, and following along. Also, don’t miss the chance to enter our The North Face giveaway, and see The North Face Climb Festival, linked in the description :)
Coaching sessions like these are so important. Just not even attempting to pull on to a climb, because it's "Not my style" or looks a certain way (e.g. sit start, so it must be burly), is such a bad mindset in climbing. Not only are you limiting your sessions by only doing climbs that you like, you're also missing out on the potential knowledge and skills you can learn from trying those different styles. Skills which could also improve your climbing on your preferred style! Obviously everyone has their preferred style and there's nothing wrong with that. If I'm having a bit of a meh session or just want a little ego boost, I'll go to a boulder in my style. However, in my opinion, trying and working on other styles will make you a better and more complete climber. Anyway, nice video and valuable advice from Be!
I sprinted to this vid as soon as I saw it. Loving the camera work! The static talking shots and the wide shots of the climbing are so unobtrusive but really capture everything I wanted to see
RE. the balance-y pink start, also a bit of crap setting with the big orange / red hold right where your left knee needs to go. Always annoys me when walls do this!
I think it’s kind of cool that it forces you to get creative with where you have to place your feet to account for the mobility challenge! I can for sure see that it’s frustrating when there’s no way to navigate on a boulder because of other holds being in the way. In this case, it was workable and the extra challenge was fun. ☺️
It looks like it was maybe meant to be done the other way around, with the right leg on and touching the right side of the hold. The chalk on the start hold is all on the right on the pinchy bit, not the left. Hard to tell without trying it though, it might just be a coincidence. Maybe Bea was just creating a better training situation.
I am hardly waiting to open this Gym to check my theories! It seems easier the balancy problem with right leg, and touching the starting volume bending right. Because of the shape of the volume it is much closer for the hands. Lots of chalkmarks on that part. The blue problem can start easier for tall climbers if you knee on your left leg, Than lift up a bit your foot, and push the wall with left knee
Would be super interested to hear how you get on with the pink! I tried the other foot a few times and couldn't get established but the hold does seem so much closer to match that way!
When climbing has a cultural problem with body image problems and disordered eating, it’s worth stopping to consider the potential impact of comments like this. We don’t make unsolicited comments on people’s bodies here.
I struggle with those balancy-starts, the sit-starts, and the double dyno catch. This was great to see some tips on. How about some tips on those tricky finishes, where there's basically nothing to hold with the hands but you have to match? I know it is about body and feet position but as a tall person I struggle getting all the limbs in the right spot! Have missed many sends purely because of the finish
Nice to see a coordination move on a V2 - it's an area I've struggled with but I've found most similar moves are on climbs around my max, which makes it much harder to focus on the coordination itself with everything else needing full attention. Would love to see some sets like that at my local
It was a fun one. I always love when gyms set accessible dynamic, coordinated boulders. Great way to learn cool movement without feeling like you’re fighting for your life. 🤗
I'm also trying to figure out a blue sit start V4 as a tall girl. I was going to write it off as not a good use of my energy, but after watching Be help Julianna break down her blue sit start V4, I feel ready to tackle mine!
I think that Be missed something really important about the first couple of dynos. When you are taking off from a jug for a step-up dyno, you can get much more height from moving in an arc around the hold that you are taking off from rather than trying to just go straight up. Not only do you get more height, but also your weight will end up traveling towards the wall and the catch position rather than backwards and away from the wall. The whole coin thing isn't really helpful if you are propelling your momentum away from the catch position. I think this is why the latch was still pretty physical for both climbers when it could be super smooth and effortless. Obviously, seeing it on video is different from being there in person and everything should be taken with a grain of salt, but I would hate to see bad dyno tips given to people who are already struggling with dynos. Would be interested to see if someone like Louis, who specializes in dynamic moves would agree.
Whooa what the heck, you were in Fless??? This is the new place on the Buda side it seems! I go to the one in Pest every week but know I see I have to check out the new one too!
It was moreso so distinguish different experience levels between us. I don’t focus solely on v7 and above boulders at the gym most of the time. There’s a bunch of sessions of me trying my max on the channel if you want to see me try my max grade! ☺️
Plateaus are a super super normal part of climbing progression, in my experience! You might enjoy a video we have coming out soon with Lattice on how to push through a plateau based on how long you’ve been climbing. ☺️
@@hannahmorrisbouldering Tech i've been climbing for about 5 years but I'm constantly fluctuating, I don't regularly climb enough to make great strides and have been lazy with cycling recently so also less fit than I have been. But also I hate grading as it always seems off, Some V2 can be crazy some V5/6 can be flashed. Be yeah it's fun and not a competition (unless you are competing aha)

Be's advice about looking center instead of at either hold is a unique piece of information that I am adding to my data bank :3
This. Added. 🥰

I wish Coach Bee had more of a social media presence. I love her teaching and would love just to see how she climbs herself without teaching 🙏
you did in the end at least
The last go, followed by immediately falling off the first move that you've already stuck is so relatable 😂
Haha story of my life ☺️
@@hannahmorrisbouldering At least last go means there's min of 10 more attempts left :)
As a 6'1 climber thank you for the tall girl representation!!! These tips will be so helpful for me 🥳
Glad it was helpful! 🥹
It has its own set of challenges, yep!

Thank you! ✨
Recently started climbing and I've learned a lot by watching your videos! Nice to catch one as it goes live!
Great to hear you’ve found them helpful ☺️☺️
Love the Be coaching episodes.
Glad to hear it 🫶
Sit start awesome. I find outdoor problems almost impossible due to sit starts... I have something else to try now!
Fless is how we fonetically write flash. So the same pronunciation. Also welcome to Hungary. 🙂
That balance pink v3 looks though for the grade
I was fighting for my life on the start. 😅🥲
That was really encouraging to watch as a new boulderer. I don't know why that moved me so much!

Agreed!! Fantastic camera work here!

Hi! I think you should make a playlist with all your Coach Be videos!
🗽11:28 If you have your head very close to the wall and your foot slips, then it could be very unpleasant... 🤨
.
It heals.
Always in my mind on slabs! Have sacrificed some chin many a time hahah
Coach Be is the bomb! Her techniques have improved my climbing 100%.
Glad you enjoy the videos with Be :D
Be is such a great coach!!!
🙌🙌
The slap section, would you apply the same technique if you are a heaver set person with a stomach "in the way" bringing/pushing you out naturally?
Gee, Juliana's voice is so gorgeous, I could listen to her talking all day 🤩
I’m also a tall girl who always fails at sit starts and this was so helpful for me!! thank you!!
I'm so glad!
How are they so comfortable being on camera right from the start? Or was it multiple takes haha, nice work
We all spend a fair amount of time in front of cameras for work, but there are usually many takes too, especially for me! 😵💫☺️
Cool cool. Are you V7 now??
It’s my max grade, yeah 🤩😅
@@hannahmorrisboulderingthat's damn good in fairness, I died on the upstairs pink V7 at Yonder (slab wall) yesterday! 😅
Super useful stuff, but it's hard to practice when the gym is always packed with people.
damn don't miss the DJ sets either, wish I was in london!
It was a very cool event!
I am hardly waiting to open this Gym to check my theories!
It seems easier the balancy problem with right leg, and touching the starting volume bending right. Because of the shape of the volume it is much closer for the hands. Lots of chalkmarks on that part.
The blue problem can start easier for tall climbers if you knee on your left leg, Than lift up a bit your foot, and push the wall with left knee

Lessons for life with Be
is this teaching available in Budapest..? 🙄
This is the most beautiful gym I’ve ever seen…
so pretty and new!
Just realized it's a few bus stop away from me and haven't heard about it until today
great job ! both, teacher and students
Yes more tall girl help, the long legs help but get in the way haha always extremely bruised ..sit starts are my enemy.
Welcome in Hungary!! ❤
We loved our visit 🤩

Another great video Hannah
Wow, I was a climber for 12 years and a coach for part of that, and even I learned some new tips from this video. Awesome job!!
Great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Is Be just short for Beast!?
Those shoulders are amazing 😍
🫶🫶 she’s an icon
@@hannahmorrisbouldering
Hope she has a weapons licence for those things 😀
I love Coach Bee! I wish I could take a lesson with her someday. Tall girl tips were much appreciated! :)
Hopefully you can! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video 🙌🫶
Thank you for sharing all this valuable advice. I have a project that is almost identical to the blue start, so this will help.
Glad it was helpful!
Did you watch the OQS?
We did! It was great 🥳
i would love to see bee send this one :)
love this so much!! wish there were more videos with tips for v3-v4 climbers out there!
Glad you liked it!

That v7 actually looks hard
11:30 I've almost lost my glasses on the wall multiple times. Gotta stay close haha
Worth it for the send 😮💨🫡
Love the way you think and coach, coach Bea! Great tips and tricks, thankyou!
Glad you enjoyed the video 😅
What does holding the coin reference to, where can I find that? 😅
Be first mentioned it in our Common Mistakes video that we posted last month, but it's basically the idea of consciously engaging the glutes. :')
Why did the coach switch shoes? Something about tire shoes
the tall girl was wearing rental shoes up until then
"hire" shoes - Britishism for rental.
Whooa what the heck, you were in Fless??? This is the new place on the Buda side it seems! I go to the one in Pest every week but know I see I have to check out the new one too!
i will go visit that gym...
Enjoy!
hold 27 on the moonboard is missing :(
Impressive observation 😅
👍
thank you for the video
You're welcome 😇
Hell yeah!
🙌🙌

Hope you enjoy / enjoyed ☺️
So if Hannah is supposed to be a V7 climber, it would have been cool to see her attempt the V7 no?
It was moreso so distinguish different experience levels between us. I don’t focus solely on v7 and above boulders at the gym most of the time. There’s a bunch of sessions of me trying my max on the channel if you want to see me try my max grade! ☺️
look like a downgraded V7 to me. 😵💫
Why "coaching *clińic* "?
Are they suffering from something?
climbing over a decade and still be stuck at V6. How is that possible? My Girlfriend is climbing since a 1,5 Years and is already doing V7 🤔
Plateaus are a super super normal part of climbing progression, in my experience! You might enjoy a video we have coming out soon with Lattice on how to push through a plateau based on how long you’ve been climbing. ☺️
If one’s focus is improving the grade they climb, they will soon be done climbing. All grades of climbing are great climbing.
