most of these tips were so obvious to me while watching, i was constantly mumbling to myself "yeah duuh", but immediately realized that these are the exact mistakes i constantly make! (i climb v4-5) Thank you very much for this video - the illustration with a climber that is relatable in skill & grade, and the dissections of each move afterwards were just perfect. Glad I am subscribed

My key take-away from the video is that to progress further I need to think more about moving between body positions instead of moving between holds. Thinking of the holds as the steps is such a natural beginner mindset, but at some point it just stops working. Grabbed the hold, fell down, didn't progress to the new comfortable body position.

These are all great. but the best tip I ever got from watching Louis, was for stepping on to bad footholds. It was the "just concentrate on taking the weight off the other foot, rather than trying to weight the bad foot". It completely changed slabs for me.

I love how Louis shapes movements and breaks them down into little steps to make them doable, so that at the end the entire movement actually is achievable. Nice work Louis! 👍

I can't get enough of these kind of video's. Exactly what I need: people on my level being coached by the best! Thanks Fin and Louis! (Key take away: do your footplacement drills! I need to hear this every video, haha).

Louis, you are the reason for my quick progression. I watch your training videos religiously. I've been climbing since mid November. I'm currently flashing up to 5c and can do most 6a-6b after a few tries. My friends often comment that I've progressed very quickly and I always point them to your channel. You've helped me so much, Thank you!

THANK YOU FIN, Louie & Catalyst climbing for these amazing coaching videos

I watched these videos a few months ago, and aligned with a training plan to increase dynamic movement I’ve become a dynamic climber in a way I was not 6 months ago. I was able to break down a totally new to me dynamic movement today and was able to send it in one session. Thanks for giving me, and the rest of the climbing community, the tools to break down this kind of movement in the way that I hadn’t seen before.

Absolutely loved this...Louis' coaching style is brilliant. I'm a teacher and so much of what he does is in line with educational theory - in fact I've used clips to show student teachers what to do!

I'm usually sceptical about climbing tips videos, but the format of coaching combined with/turned into general tips makes it very watchable, and makes it easier to pick up the lessons as well!

These coaching videos in general are by my favorite part of your account! It’s been incredibly helpful in my climbing. The most helpful parts for me are breaking down dynamic moves and the mindset work - especially with other female climbers!

Great tips, Louis. My son was just saying to me the other day to break down the moves, get the positon right, and concentrate on each move as it comes. Really first-class coaching. From Louis, of course!

as a climber currently plateaued at v5, i'm excited to learn from this video!

Very helpful video - great job Fin! I’d have similar issues with these climbs, so your efforts were great examples for me. Very helpful advice Louie.

Really love this video! Part coaching, part movement comparison, all helpful. Thanks!

Its all so technical, everything has to be really dialled in. Love it.

Thank you so much Louis, your instructional content is really motivating to me. Like, I could get back onto the wall right now and try really hard, even though I'm still resting up from my last session (so I won't). One of my main learnings from these videos has been to be really mindful of what I'm doing during a climb: Why did I fall off and what do I need to do differently? You've really got me thinking about foot placement and hip positioning in particular and that has already helped me loads. Breaking down moves that I can try without comitting to a sequence that feels risky to me has also been hugely helpful for my confidence to commit to said sequence later on. Also occasionally skipping a move that I'm stuck on to see how the next holds/moves after that feel - motivationally really good. Points I'm taking away from todays video: - Overshooting and landing into the "toe"-hook - can't wait to have a go at that one - Focus on first touch even more - Try slowing down during dynamic movement to find balance - Climb extra haaard!

Very instructive ... I have all of those issues/technical limitations so this really resonates with me. Thanks Louis!

Awesome video! Louis your advices are great and well explained and Fin thank you for doing this, it was so good to see you taking in the advices and then improving!
