it's so nice to see someone's genuine process and improvement as they work on their climbs. great coaching and insight in this video. Sarah was such a vibe.
The over-gripping tip is major. One session where my skin was bad going in, I had to force myself to minimally grip everything and it actually made me climb far more technically.
I love the addition of a Kilter Board route on these tips videos. It lets us non UK residents have a go at it and really compare our movements with those of the people in the video. Please more of this!
16:42 that's a missed opportunity for a crazy important falling technique. If you're on a vertical / slab wall and you slip, *push* yourself off the wall. She pulled herself back while falling and almost smashed her face against the volume... that was very scary. This is exactly how beginners ends up breaking ankles or legs... or in this case, nose and teeth.
Yup, but that's the mistake. You might be able to save a slip but the risk if you fail is just not worth it. You can have a second try but you can't have a second ankle. With sufficient experience, you might try saving a slip but it must only be done if you know you can push yourself off again if you don't manage to. Now here, her COG was already way back when she pulled on the hold meaning the fall was inevitable so that was an error of appreciation. More generally, knowing when to bail is a really important skill that many beginners lack, and one that can have serious consequences, cause a failed save (regardless of the wall angle) implies a very high chance of an uncontrolled fall.. and reception.
Oh! I love the colorful hoodie! First thing I thought when I opened the video actually! I always learn so much from these coaching videos! Awesome to see Sarah climbing!
At 22:20 when they analyze the knee inside/outside technique, which is a super cool tip, there is one big oversight - THE ELBOW! I feel like Sara blocks herself completely by having the elbow into her stomach while Louis has his on the outside, which lets him move the hips closer to the hold. Even when he tries to spot her you can tell it would be impossible for her to get closer because of that, not because of flexibility. It must be hard to notice while you're on the wall, but comparing the split screen it becomes obvious. P.S. I'm a total beginner, just a thorough observer 🙏
Amazing tips. Ngl Sarah is super cute and her personality on training is awesome, how excited she is, even on routes out of her comfort zone. 11/10 on this one. +1 subscriber
I've been taking a lot of this advice over the past month, and I'm making progress. Trying climbs outside my grade and really focussing on my weaknesses (dynamic movement and slopers) has been awesome. Getting a lot more confidence on things I'm not confident on, if that makes sense. Thanks Louis :)
Love the outfits, man! If you are not using them, send them to me 😂 And, well done, Sarah! You try hard, you improve in spurts and I love your positive vibe.
This is my favorite type of climbing video, a coaching session for someone who's not at an insane high level. I wish I could be coached by Louis. He seems to be an excellent coach.
Great to see those tips resulting in immediate results! Loved how much Sarah is able to analyse her attempts on the routes, and her climbing style in general.
It’s cool to see how Sarah started off quite anxious about the grade and just after a little bit of encouragement she is confidently doing the dynamic V4 that she probably would’ve avoided in a normal session. 👏
Great student, I found her talking through thought process so helpful/relatable... more sessions with her please! Top tips on activating thumbs and over gripping from Louis. Cheers
Louis' advice is consistently good, he has put a lot of thought into what he says and the way he delivers it. Also, it's really encouraging to watch someone progress through a single session. On a side note, someone needs to invent a slab microphone :)
I love these coaching videos. Thanks, Sarah! I'd like to suggest more of them, but perhaps with a range of guest climbers -- tall, short, perhaps paraclimbers, older, etc.
Something that feels very relevant to your tips about the second climb: doing boulders that aren’t your style will expand your toolkit for climbs that are as well. Perfect example here, learning to utilize momentum can help with many boulders, not just dynos
These tips are awesome and the positivity and encouragement makes a huge difference! I feel like I could watch this all day but do need to work at some point...
I don’t rock climb, never did aside from a couple of birthday parties as a kid and teen… but I LOVE these coaching videos!!! His teaching style is so awesome to watch. P.S. I loved the original outfit! Way more character and life than the other (which does admittedly look comfy and nice), but the first one just matches his lively personality way more
Well done Sarah. I'm the same as you - took ages to find out that those stubby things on the side of each of your hands can actually be used in climbing. Took me years to discover my own thumbs so I'm pleased that you have been introduced to yours early.
Louis, I really appreciate these videos. I learned so much that I can immediately put it into practice. And, my name is Sarah, so I will keep the sound bites of your "Go, Sarah" encouragements in my head! | Watching from State College, Pennsylvania
Louis, your fashion choices are much better than these sponsored stuff in which you look boring just like everyone else. Be yourself, stay yourself and be proud of being a bit clownish. That's why we love you and your content.❤
Two things I wish we had in the US: reasonable shipping costs for anything Rungne, and coffee bars at the climbing gym. Also great growl to start the video, Louis! Love all the videos, but I particularly look forward to these coaching videos. Keep up the great work 💚
21:41 Louis just missed the best ever time to ask for the TH-cam audience to click on that thumbs up !!! PS: and that's probably why I like him so much :)
The tip about going further than you need to then decelerating so you can hit a hold more softly if it's a bad hold might be relevant to my current project. Tomorrow's a rest day though unfortunately, so I'll have to wait a day to find out. Great video as always :)
just started watching the video now but I have to say, theres nothing wrong with your fashion choices! You look excellent! Sorry for the sponsor of the video but you look way better in your own clothes.
There is one more important point to add on this Orange V4 - Dynamic. Placing the foot on the volume with more momentum is one method. The important bit here though is that the foot lands a bit higher, i.e. the orthogoal force on the volume and hence the friction is higher. On the steep volumes it is often advisable to (in particular on static moves) to get more pressure against the wall: placing the center of mass a bit farther away from the wall, placing the foot higher…
Really great coaching here, loved to watch and have a look at your other videos in this style! One thing I noticed at her kilterboard effort: BREATHING is another essential tool in climbing - not talked about enough. Might I ask for some coaching on breathing techniques for hard sustained or burst efforts? Cheers!
I actually love the outfit! But 'Magic Magnus, big daddy of TH-cam' really cracked me up haha. Anyway once again what a great video, such helpful advice and really fun climbing!
Love these videos more of these please. But can you please give a short shot of the climb before attempting it so we can pause and attempt to read the climb ourselves before hearing how to do it - thanks.
I love that the bleep at the end is completely ineffective. Like you can hear the bleep, and therefore you know it's meant to be bleeped, but I can still just hear Louis saying "Fuck!"
I got jump scared so hard when she came off the orange v4 it looked like she was a centimeter away from slamming her jaw against the volume 😮 such a great training video though good job Sarah and Louis!
I start most climbs on my very first attempt without reading it much at all strictly because so many climbs feel so different when you actually get on them and the plan I come up with won't work. I just get up on it first, get an idea of what I'm dealing with, then plan out my route for the second try knowing more about how the holds are when I get up there. Could be that I'm just not very good at reading climbs without feeling them out but it works for me. I do however approach the start of every climb as if it'll be easy so that is a huge part of it.
She lacked the ankle mobility necessary to sit on the hold with one foot comfortably Round of applause for her tho she was giving it her all in this👏🏽 sesh

Ngl, I love Louis' fit in the beginning
Yeah but it is really bad for youtubes bitrate
Way better than whatever came next. Love that hoodie
Literally my first thought was "omg his sweater is so cool!!"
Same😂
The pants are kinda like Dayz hiking pants.
That first fit is the kind I’d give a side-eye but not talk trash about on the off chance you’re just 6 parallel universes of fashion ahead of me.
Chef's pants with a 90's Will Smith jumper is honestly a whole-ass vibe.
Bro is defo gay.
8:25 "It's not a jug" famous last words
I've had this thought more than once when climbing..
@@SirCamWA it's usually something like "It's not a juuuuuuuug!" from me :)
For me it's usually "that one's absolute shite" lol
yeah, can't happen to me
I hate falling from such heights so much because of injury risk, so I will always look very closely at the top holds.
Apart from Ink content, these are my favourite kind of videos. Louis is truly exceptional at what he does (and Sarah and Sam were great too)
we need some louis and big daddy magnus videos both dynamic and climb extremely hard boulders get it set up :D
A Louis/Magnus collab is so overdue it's not even funny. NEEDS to happen
it's so nice to see someone's genuine process and improvement as they work on their climbs. great coaching and insight in this video. Sarah was such a vibe.
Can't wait to see Louis at London fashion week
More videos with Sarah! Love her charisma and willingness to think through things and try hard.
yeah i learned from her analysis too
I unironically love Louis' outfit in the beginning! It's a vibe, and I feel it.
Wow impressed with the four dimensional foreshadowing of that sponsorship! As a gen z though your first outfit was actually pretty stylish
Looking through the comments it seems most people prefer the fit that isn't sponsored and I'm so here for that.
Louis: Use your thumbs
Ink: Thumbs are aid
Great watching Sarah - she's a great climber!
The over-gripping tip is major. One session where my skin was bad going in, I had to force myself to minimally grip everything and it actually made me climb far more technically.
Sarah's such a good sport, keep on crushing!
Love these kinds of videos. Barely scratching V3 myself, but there's always so much useful and applicable information even for me.
Samesies

Thanks for the tip!
Perhaps she thought she could save it by pulling into the wall, those holds look good enough to hang from for a second perhaps
Yup, but that's the mistake. You might be able to save a slip but the risk if you fail is just not worth it. You can have a second try but you can't have a second ankle. With sufficient experience, you might try saving a slip but it must only be done if you know you can push yourself off again if you don't manage to.

@@anneonyme8022 Slipping feet are the only scary falls imo, all the others you can just jump off for control over your landing
but thats not how it is for a lot of beginners
Oh! I love the colorful hoodie! First thing I thought when I opened the video actually! I always learn so much from these coaching videos! Awesome to see Sarah climbing!
these kind of videos are literal gold! soo much to learn from it!

Helpful video for my v4 plateau! Though i think that mostly due to my current broken arm. Sarah is a delight to watch figure out improvements so fast.
Love the outfits, man! If you are not using them, send them to me 😂
And, well done, Sarah! You try hard, you improve in spurts and I love your positive vibe.
I love the sweater, Louis! ❤❤❤

wow, youre really good at coaching. ever thought about doing that professionally?
thanks to sarah for having exactly my weaknesses!
Thats because he already is doing that 😅
As an intermediate climber who is just progressing past through v3-v4 range, this video was extremely helpful and insightful. Thank you so much!
Please never stop making these videos!!
Love these coaching videos and Sarah was a great student!
This is so inspiring! She made so much progress, so vicariously proud
The "arm inside/outside the knee" tip was really cool, on that move the difference was massive.
More videos with Sarah!! Loved her energy, she was so fun to watch!
I fuck with Louis' first fit. Genuinely really like it, especially the hoodie.
Louis' advice is consistently good, he has put a lot of thought into what he says and the way he delivers it. Also, it's really encouraging to watch someone progress through a single session.

Love these types of videos -- great student and teacher as always, well done all
Louis, I absolutely love your first outfit.
Love these coaching videos. Especially as a new climber!
Louis, I really appreciate these videos. I learned so much that I can immediately put it into practice.
And, my name is Sarah, so I will keep the sound bites of your "Go, Sarah" encouragements in my head! | Watching from State College, Pennsylvania
Honestly, I like the hoodie way better than whatever explosion of clip art is going on on the second shirt.
Love this channel, only coaching content I can stomach because it’s not just these niche training tips
Louis, your fashion choices are much better than these sponsored stuff in which you look boring just like everyone else. Be yourself, stay yourself and be proud of being a bit clownish. That's why we love you and your content.❤
"sAm? Same SAM? Sam could be anyone! My middle name is Sam!"
that got me omg 🤣
There's a fine line between fashion fit and kooking like Timmy Mallet!
This is such an instructive video. Thanks!
Two things I wish we had in the US: reasonable shipping costs for anything Rungne, and coffee bars at the climbing gym.
Also great growl to start the video, Louis! Love all the videos, but I particularly look forward to these coaching videos. Keep up the great work 💚
Well done, Sarah!
Fantastic vid, learnt so much along with the Sarah. Love your style of teaching!
21:41 Louis just missed the best ever time to ask for the TH-cam audience to click on that thumbs up !!!
PS: and that's probably why I like him so much :)
Well done Sarah! Great video, such helpful tips.
Nice job Sarah!
Louis is such a great coach
Slander. I love Louis' outfit in the beginning!
Superb content. So helpful!

Fab Sara!
Strong looks, we love it.
trying to break into more v4 climbs lately, so this video is super timely and useful. i will finally face my fear and try more dynos. thank you :D
This is amazing, such good advice
The knee inside vs outside is so subtle, I would never have noticed that difference if he hadn’t pointed it out
Great vid Louis I learnt a lot!
I love this new "Louis fashion tips"!
I actually love the outfit! But 'Magic Magnus, big daddy of TH-cam' really cracked me up haha. Anyway once again what a great video, such helpful advice and really fun climbing!
More of this please!
Love these videos more of these please. But can you please give a short shot of the climb before attempting it so we can pause and attempt to read the climb ourselves before hearing how to do it - thanks.
There was exactly that before every bloc in this video
Great tips! Thanks, Louis!
Hoodie was rad 🤘
that jumper was fire
Yes. Thank you for the amazing video… AND AGAIN ITS ON MY LUNCH BREAK AT WORK. LETS GOOOO
Your fit at the beginning was great,!
I love Louis's clothes!!!!
I love that the bleep at the end is completely ineffective. Like you can hear the bleep, and therefore you know it's meant to be bleeped, but I can still just hear Louis saying "Fuck!"

honestly? I absolutely want the trousers from the start of the video
small tip if your stressing while climbing, beacous fear of failure or annything, try singing a song and breathing, while climbing help's me aloth
She lacked the ankle mobility necessary to sit on the hold with one foot comfortably
Round of applause for her tho she was giving it her all in this👏🏽 sesh
You'd be such a great Cbeebies presenter Louis
I liked the first outfit!
