Pro Coach Gives a Tip For Every Grade

"A sketchy foot in a good place is better than a good foot in a sketchy place"

Main tip : Positivity.

Paula being genuinely shocked she pulled off that campus move was absolutely hilarious.

Thank you so much for having me, it was such a great session and Louie is just the best and so encouraging! I'll be back to finish this as soon as I can and I've been doing some great rockovers since if I do say so myself! Thanks again! -Soph

The side-by-side comparisons are so immensely useful. I’m new to climbing, so a lot of the vocabulary and discussions are still hard to follow, and it’s difficult to remember exactly what happened in the “bad” attempts when I see the successful ones. Having the videos side by side, describing precisely what changed, makes it a lot easier to understand what I should be learning.

“How does one’s foot go over there?” 😂 love it, gonna talk to myself in that manner more often

19:04 Cameron rowing out of the frame is hilarious... 😂

Just started climbing a month ago and I can't express how insanely helpful this channel has been. Thank you!

I love the idea of perma-boulders. Sometimes, I wish climbing gyms reset one of their sets yearly so you can try out the climbs again. You can measure progress in many ways, but I find the idea very charming. Great video :)

"my big brain coaching tip is to not use your feet and just campus it" with that voice. made my day.

20:00 I really would like to see Louis send this cave perma V10 TBH!

I loved seeing the ordinary people learning from Louie. Paola’s enthusiasm and try hard was inspiring!

Man Archie only climbing for a few years and crushing like that is amazing, hope I can be there some day too! "I like rock climbing. I like rock climbing alot."

Paola's commitment is everything 🔥🤩

I'd really love to see a video like this where the next grade climber gives tips before Louie. Let the V3-4 climber coach the V1-2 before Louie steps in. I found for me personally, (V4-5 climber) I learn more applicable things from a V5-7 climber than those who climber higher grades. Not everyone is a coach or good at explaining things, but many people just above my grade seem to see the mistakes they recognized themselves making in my climbing. I don't have much to say to someone who climbs V0-2 other than climb more, trust your feet, get comfortable falling in a controlled manor and expect to do so often. But for a V3 climber I have much more to say! Body positioning improvement, how to get more out of crimps without upping your finger strength directly, smearing the feet is sometimes better than holds in bad spots, flagging and rolling over onto feet, the mentality of dynamic climbing, the list goes on and on. I recognize having a V10+ climber weigh in is hugely beneficial, especially one who is a good coach! But sometimes it's helpful for me to talk to someone a bit better and see if the mistakes I make are fresher in their heads. One tip I just recently got from a crusher was super helpful so I'll share it. On slab, being close to the wall is always naturally assumed. But sometimes allowing yourself to lean back puts more weight into your feet and changes your angle, which can make a bad foot feel better!

Found it really funny watching Laura static climb the whole boulder like a boss

so cool how solid laura looked on that move she couldnt even process first few times asking

Love these series of tips for a wide range of climbers.

These climbing-tips-at-all-levels videos are absurdly wonderful.

The energy in these videos are wonderful! I love watching you coatch, and seeing the pure joy of successful climbs. Got back into climbing a few months ago after covid, been stuck around v4, and these videos help a ton, been projecting some much harder things thanks to you Keep it up!
