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.

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.

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

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 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 🥰
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.
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.
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.
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 🤘
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 💙

Fantastic video again, you make an awesome team. More please! Thank you 💪👍
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.
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.
Loved the vid! So well explained! We can always learn something new... I'll try to practice during the next session 🎉
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!
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!!

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 ❤
This was great! Thank you for detailed and easy explanation!! Let's go practice

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.

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
This was so helpful! I'm a new climber and I can't wait to incorporate these exercises to improve!

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!
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
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.
Be is so good at demonstrating the differences!

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

I remember seeing the first video where you were introducing Be, and asking for what your audience (me) would like to see in future videos. I commented that I'd like to see some drills, so this is exactly what I wanted (probably it was already planned? Coaches love drills, amirite?). But for some reason I'm only seeing this now. Anyway, all the stuff after hover hands is stuff I haven't seen before, and the way she explained the hover hands is probably useful for next time I do it. TL;DR: thanks for the video :)
