We recently teamed up with climbing coach, crusher and all round wonderful human Be Fuller for a session on the most common climbing mistakes Be sees as a coach with years of experience coaching climbers of all abilities.
Whether you're a beginner climber looking for some tips to help you on your way to learning technique, or an experienced climber with some inefficient habits holding you back, avoiding these common mistakes and engraining the fixes can help you improve your climbing. From foot placement to body positioning, we cover a wide range of the most common mistakes and provide actionable advice on how to correct them.
Thanks so much to Be for sharing her practical tips and insights based on years of experience working with climbers of all levels. If you're thinking about looking into climbing coaching, I highly recommend booking a session with Be.

If anyone has ever thought of having a coaching session with Be but hasn’t… DO! 🤩
Agreed! Such a game changer. :)
@@hannahmorrisbouldering 100%!
Just have to fly across the world for an in person session 😢
@@Jaredvic I’m all for saving the planet but climbing gains are important. Grab your passport! 🛫
30 hour flight away so I am very grateful for these videos. They are fantastic!
At this point pretty much all my climbing knowledge is stuff i learnt on this channel when Be was guest starring. Something about how she breaks down information makes so much more sense to me and i always know exactly what I'm meant to be improving with her recommended drills.
Haha that’s really nice to hear.
Glad you like the Be collabs 😅
I can say the same
Same!!
More Be! I love the easy to understand way she breaks everything down, her fun little mnemonic names for things, and the clarity of her demonstrations. Be has had a noticeable effect on my climbing even though we're thousands of miles away. I wish I lived across the pond ❤ Thanks Hannah and Be for another great collaboration!
Aw thanks Amber, I’m sure Be will really appreciate this comment. She’s a great coach and lots of fun to work with 🥰
I love seeing women climbing because at my climbing spot it’s all mostly men and it’s harder to relate to since I’m just not as strong, so they don’t really use efficient techniques as much. Like I see them climbing not using their feet and I don’t have much strength so seeing this really helped!! Thank you
It's pretty much a 50/50 split at my climbing spot
Can we talk not only about the pedagogical skills that Be has (those were obvious already) but also her mental coaching skills as well? The "work your weaknessess" refraiming was brilliant! 🤩
Be certainly has a talent for explaining things in a positive, encouraging way! :)
Thank you 🙏💕
Pedagogical… good word
I think I’m safe to say that your videos are among the most educational and interesting climbing content someone can find wherever.
The sessions with Be have been so eye-opening and so tremendously helpful for a new climber like me that I feel like I shouldn’t be able to watch something like this for free.
I’m having the technique videos with Be on repeat before every session and if I had to be honest, I may be enjoying the improvement in efficient climbing more than sending a hard boulder! You two have made sure that I’m never gonna stop loving this sport.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and I’m sure Be will too. I for one have found Be’s made a huge difference to my climbing technique and it’s so nice to hear that you find them helpful for your own climbing 🥰
Great to have Be on again, all your videos with her are great. Even when explaining simple things that I've heard a million times before, Be brings a great perspective and new focus, like "silent feet" during the warm-up also being about finding stable & efficient body positions.
Thanks Hannah for featuring Be again! Her knowledge, clear explanations and finesse while climbing are top-notch! 💯✨ Warmest greetings all the way from Patagonia, Argentina 💙
It was my pleasure. Always great to have Be on the channel :) Hope you're well, say hi to Patagonia for me :)
I would love a video on 'work your weaknesses' warm-ups - for a beginner, its hard to know what to be looking for, so the kind of excercises to be trying for like you say, different body parts and broad types of climbing.
So much good info! Been feeling like I’ve hit a plateau not progressing too much past v6-7 and realized after watching this how many small things I’ve neglected that I need to work on to be more efficient and push past it. Easy Sub 🤘
Love these videos with Be! Not only does she have great technique and a great understanding of climbing, she also has a great understanding of climbERs and how to translate the science of climbing into drills and explanations that are useful at every level. It just makes every single video with her so encouraging and inspiring to watch - wish she could coach me every time I go!!
Me too! She’s a brilliant coach and her techniques and explanation just make sense and never feel judgemental or condescending! Glad you love Be’s coaching too
Love these sessions with coach Be. Very good tips to help beginner climbers. I personally am now able to send overhanging problems from practicing straight arms and bringing my hips into the wall.
this is such a fantastic video! clear, thorough explanations of the technique and theory. will b coming back to video in the future and trying these out!
One of the most helpful videos I've seen, deffo going to apply some of this to my climbing - thanks both!
That was a really great, helpful and informative video, thank you! Be is an amazing coach and I love the way she explained everything.
Fantastic video again, you make an awesome team. More please! Thank you 💪👍
Beeeee! I'm so glad you recorded another video together! Bee has been a tremendous help in my climbing journey, her technique drills just make so much sense, thanks so much!
Great to know, I'm sure Be will be psyched to hear it. :)
Your so lucky to have be coaching you, this info took me
Ages to learn. Listen n practice Be is giving you gold here
Loved the vid! So well explained! We can always learn something new... I'll try to practice during the next session 🎉
Bee's correction at 24:07 reminds me of ballet turnout. In order to achieve the coveted 90° turnout, ballet dancers engage their core and push their hips up and forward to rotate their leg at the hip. I was taught to send "the crease where my buttcheek meets my leg" forward and through the front of my hips. Her active bum technique looks quite similar and I can see how rotating your leg would help you rock over and keep close to the wall--it's just like a plié.
This is really the best climbing channel on youtube! I'm always learning something new.
Always a pleasure seeing Be again 😁
🥹🥹🥹 THANK YOU for making my evening
I love how actionable these tips are. Thank you for sharing.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting 😅😊
this is a fantastic video! I am learning so much from this and it all makes so much sense. I can't wait to try these!
These videos with coach Be are amazing. Always come back to them
That’s great to hear! Thank you ☺️
Always so helpful and informative. Thanks Hannah and Be.
Thanks Rhett, glad you enjoyed!
Be is such an impressive person... I'm not even talking about her climbing and coaching alone. Thanks for having her on your channel!
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you Hannah for all your great content!
This was great! Thank you for detailed and easy explanation!! Let's go practice
I am just starting indoor climbing and your videos really helped me build good habits and helps me advance faster 😊 thank YOU!
I'm really new to bouldering and your videos are invaluable, thanks for taking the time to go through the foundations in a detailed and patient manner : )
Really glad you like the videos, hope you're loving climbing so far :)
Always with the rad videos! Thanks Hannah!
Glad you like them!
This has got me so hyped, so much information, can't wait to put it to use. Really hoping I'll be able to to manage at least one 7A this year
Hannah and Be are so great together! Be is an amazing teacher and Hannah takes her advice and makes such interesting connections. Thank you!!!
Thank you - really appreciate you watching and commenting :)
@@hannahmorrisbouldering subscribed now too! Thought I was already because YT always recommends your latest videos. My bad! Thanks for all the work you do!
@@lamaj7896 Oh thank you! Welcome to the hmb subscriber club :D
Such gold!! Thank you!
This is such a refreshing coaching session. Rather than going straight to one's project and giving pointers on what needs to be done, Be is teaching us the fundamentals on a V1 boulder!
I'm only half way though the video and just want to give kudos to Be.
Great job.
Brilliant 👏 I did a session on top rope the day after watching this ... and it was full of little breakthroughs 😊
This was super helpful! Thanks to both of ya for being awesome!
Thank you for your comment! Glad to hear you found the video useful :)
Coach Be gives a great breakdown of common climbing mistakes and how to work through them :) Thanks Hannah and Coach Be!
0:54 Warm-up: work your weaknesses pre-wall
3:14 Footwork: Improve precision and balance (helpful drills: silent feet, one touch, nose over toes)
10:53 Lazy-Bum: engage glutes and hips to extend reach
13:13 Posture: less Try-Hard TurTle, more Jolly Giraffe to extend reach
19:03 Technique selection: moving more efficiently
thank you so so so much for this video! i've been climbing for a couple of weeks and this advice and the drills are invaluable. really really appreciate it
Thats really great to hear, thanks!!
She's brilliant, i have a beginner course starting on the 17th, i really hope my instructor is like this. Have only done climbing once on my own so far, and want to do it right to avoid injuries.
this is one of the best technique vids i have found since long. i thank you a lot for this nice learning lesson !!!! I LOVE IT !!!!
These videos are amazing!
Thank you sooo much for sharing such a valuable knowledge because I’m kinda trying to learn how to climb by myself and most of the times I’m lacking some of these tips that I’ve never heard about.
I think it’s the third time that I watch this video.
That’s so nice to hear, really glad you’re liking the videos! ☺️🎉
I always recall being told that you want to consider climbing just like going up a ladder or a flight of stairs, you want to almost try and walk your way up the climb. I think a lot of what Be is saying is reiterating that with more complex details. Think like the mountain goats that only use their hoofs on edges as thin as quarters.
I love this! So helpful! Some friends I met in Hawai'i got me into climbing and now I brought it back with me home. It's more challenging now since I don't have someone experienced to help me with beta and I have to figure it out myself. I understand why I kept straining my bicep tendons and what my friend meant by "dead glutes". I'm excited to incorporate these tips in my warmup, or modified name to yours, "prime my weaknesses". 😁
This was so helpful! I'm a new climber and I can't wait to incorporate these exercises to improve!
Ahh, nice to hear! I hope they come in handy for you ☺️
Be is a very good coach and she's looking at you like a very proud teacher, you're doing it well ! 😉 She has me intrigued with her advice on personalizing your warm up for how your body works/could improve and for the type of climb you're projecting to do. If in the future you want to do a video about that topic with her, I will be all ears ❤
Thank you for this amazing video. I’m very much a novice and looking for ways to improve. This video was incredibly helpful.
So great to hear - glad you enjoyed it ☺️
I've already watched most of these, but any time I'm feeling in a rut with my climbing or training I just come and watch a HMB Be video! Seriously, even just the ones where you guys are projecting at your respective levels are so, so helpful because of the way Be teaches (and watching how you learn from her, as a representative of your average boulderer!)
Absolutely fantastic.
Best video I seen so far. Well explained and demonstrate thanks 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video, it was rly rly helpful!! I have a comp tmr and many more comps to go but I’ll definitely keep all these tips in mind!
So glad it’s useful for you! 😅
@@hannahmorrisboulderingalso i would love a HMB shirt but it’s both sold out and doesn’t ship to me (Singapore) any idea when you’re restocking?
I paid money to have a short clinic with literally one of the best climbers in the world back in the late90's/early 2000's. This short vid explained way more than what was taught back then. Great coaching. Thank You.
Terrific tips from Bee as always. Always love these tip videos of climb smarter, not harder in order to climb even harder to progress higher than we thought possible.
Thanks Chris! The foundations are so important. ☺️
@@hannahmorrisbouldering we have coaches at my gym, but these videos help so much cause it makes so much more sense because of how you and Bee, or Louis, or other coaches talk through the why. Thanks so much for them.
This is such a great video! I have learned so much in such few minutes, its incredible
That’s so great to hear. Glad you found it useful 🥳
Thanks so much for this video. It was very helpful 😊xx
I’m really glad! ☺️🫶
Saved. Will rewatch many times!!
Hope it helps you out with your next session! Thanks for watching 🤩
Such great tips Be! I'll be trying these out on the weekend.
Hope they help your session this weekend, thanks for watching!
@@hannahmorrisbouldering thanks Hannah! I’m learning a lot from your channel as a 46 yo climber 1 year in to climbing.
These techniques make it look so effortless compared to the way I try. Great video to keep those in mind.
Love these vids with Be, I always learn so much!
Glad you find them informative, they’re always good fun to film!
@@hannahmorrisbouldering Soo, I realise that this isn't really to do with you but the code doesn't give 30% off at 3rd rock. It gives less than 20%.
Any help from Be would be greatly appreciated :)
I’m a beginner at indoor climbing. But I also have a bodybuilding background. One good way to get better from my standpoint is to also try v’s that you know you can’t finish. But the effort you put in will develops grips much faster therefore taking the fast route instead of fingerboarding. Plus you’ll have things click faster. Don’t worry about you looking silly not being able to get to far off the ground. You have goals. Focus
I tried these drills and had a great session. Really helped my technique and made me hyperaware of what my body is doing on the wall. Incredibly useful content. Many thanks.
That’s so great to hear! Glad you found the drills useful ☺️
What a great video, I've learned so much more from her than all the videos I've watched in the past 5 years.
Great to hear!
Your content is so helpful! Thank you 🤍
You're so welcome! :)
I watch a lot of videos but I think Be has fantastic coaching skills. Thank you!!
Glad you think so!
Super useful, as always with Be! 😊 Very cool video :)
Thank you! Glad you found it useful 🥰
be is a bloody amazing coach. thanks for the video great content as ever hannah
Glad you enjoyed 😎😎
These are great tips! specially the turtle neck thing, thank you!
Be is so good at demonstrating the differences!
Just beginning bouldering - like, 2 sessions in with loads to discover - but enjoying looking into it. Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Be is an absolutely fantastic coach with great advice beautifully delivered
I'd also like to say your videos have been very accessible. They've been great for getting thinking about where to begin. Thank you very much
Welcome aboard! Hope you’re loving climbing so far and that the videos are good for learning ☺️
Really nice tips! Looking forward to focusing on this stuff when I go climbing onwards :)
Hope they come in handy! 💫
Videos with Be are my favorite by far!
Great and very interesting tips from Be. Super useful video. Congrats!
Glad you found it useful ✌️
Thx to Be for this very interesting lesson.
.
as a very new climber who have gone bouldering fewer than 5 times (previously top roped more but have been interested in bouldering now), i found this video the most helpful of all the other beginner videos I've seen and am incredibly guilty of lazy bum 😆 thanks for the great video!
Nothing inspires a technique session like a day with Be!
Aint that the truth
What a pleasure to watch. Brilliant.
This is so interesting considering other coaches and pros suggesting people have light feet and hardly use their feet at all (if possible). This is the exact opposite...and I love it!
really nice video. Thank you!
Thanks! ☺️☺️
thanks for sharing!!!! hugs
What a fantastic lesson, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Today I learned I have a lazy bum 😂 Looking forward to trying these tips in the gym! Thanks for this interesting session! Be breaks complex moves down into easily digestible chunks. Always a highlight when she's on your channel.
I just started climbing with experienced friends and I keep telling them they don't realize how heave my butt is! Now I realize... I just have a lazy bum! Haha.
I'm confused, I've seen several professional climbers saying that, as a beginner, you should use your legs, but as a professional, you should really rely on your arms and that, in an ideal world, you should be able to climb the walls with just your arms. Your legs aren't that necessary. However, in this video you are saying to use primarily your legs. The arms aren't really that necessary. So I'm confused. I understand that as a beginner, obviously, my legs will be the strongest. But should I not be moving up to using my arms? The more I progress?
Arms aren't designed to carry all your weight and will always gas out before the legs. Maybe when you climb as a pro on actual rocks, it's harder to use your feet or advanced climbs they challenge your arms more but you shouldn't be thinking that relying on your feet is a redundant, it will always be a foundation.
great vid, great tips, thanks!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
This is awesome... I've added these ideas to my drills list... can't wait to get to the wall tomorrow! What an amazing difference when you stop having a lazy bum! It's great to see another video with Be... she always reminds me that an inside flag exists... must get better at those (or, more accurately... must start using them!) Thanks, as always, for sharing, Hannah!
Inside edge flags will forever be a Be association for me. Hope you find the drills useful and thanks for watching and commenting :)
#beinsideflag 🤣
@@AllegraClimbingPsychologist I'll try to use one soon... and I'll be sure to use that hashtag! 😁👍
Im a beginner to bouldering, but I've done parkour, freerunning and basic acro for ages. The way I climb compared to the way you climb is so different, I really the flow aspects and the reach aspect over the tucking turtle. I am going try a lot of these tips on the bouldering wall and climbing in general. I see now differences in climbing for performance or exercise in general, vs climbing for conditioning, labbing and experimenting
This is awesome. I must say that tip about the giraffe and the hip position stepped up my game a notch. I'm still adapting myself but nonetheless.
So it is an exercise in extending reach with movement choices. I like the thrusting up of the pelvis, where this seemed to work best for dynamacy is with timing and making that thrust with snappyness
Beautiful way of climbing while the modern trend is in strengh. Thank you Hannah and Be
this was so helpfull thanks
Thank you for the understandable explanations for a non native speaker. I am amazed.
Glad to hear that!
This video is awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Loved this one
Great video!
Such great instruction here! Bought a t-shirt to say thanks. Keep it up
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Be is pure magic. I really wish she had more content on social media.
Also it's so nice to watch you climb with her and follow her advice!
Today I learned I have a lazy bum Looking forward to trying these tips in the gym! Thanks for this interesting session! Be breaks complex moves down into easily digestible chunks. Always a highlight when she's on your channel.
great advice!
I Just started yesterday 😫😫I can’t wait to get better !
For me as absolute climbing beginner, this is one of the best beginners tips videos out there. Unfortunately I'm on forced cooldown due to a golfer's elbow I inflicted upon myself by going straight at it without any plan or knowledge. Being a programmer in his early 40s didn't really prepare my body for any of this, it has to be said :D Looking forward to trying this out on the wall
I love it! My name is Bea. I'm new to climbing. I'd love to be coached by Coach Be! Great video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Loving to see Be back ❤
