Buddy just climb, I don’t understand this stupid philosophical stuff with climbing, it’s a sport and your either strong or your not, and if your not you need to keep climbing and working out if you want to improve, asking yourself those two questions does nothing but waste time when you could be attempting again and getting in more reps

​@@joemicheal1314 climbing isn't just about being strong it's about technique and how you use your weight, if you want to improve strength you do hang board but if you wanna actually figure out problems and how to do them you think about which ways you can move your body so these questions help a lot actually

Haven't been bouldering in awhile but the minimum of 5 attemps and maximum of 5 attemps was something i never did... I'm stubborn so sometimes i'd probably do 10 attempts on a problem

Man, he delivers that information like a flowchart in his head, and the flowchart is like a climbing route all mapped out. Brilliant the way our skilled practices translate beyond their most obviously definable boundaries

Louis showing ALL the traits of a good coach 🙌🙌 Pushing your coachee out of their comfort zone, identifying problems and coming up with action plans!

You just have to love Louis, always positive yet no bs. I like his approach, even though I don't like to limit my attempts at climbs I really like. Having a minimum number of attempts on problems I hate however has been a great change of my mindset!

Sometimes "I need to pull harder" is the genuine correct answer though. But it's good to not default to this thought every time you fall.

and i think "i need to pull harder" can lead to interesting follow ups. Like "ok why didn't you pull hard enough the first time?" and the answer could be "i couldn't pull any harder" which could be because either they weren't strong enough in which case, no use getting right back on, or maybe they were too worn out by the time they got to where they fell, in which case the question becomes "what can they do in the portion leading up to the crux differently in order to be more efficient and have the energy to pull harder in the spot they claim they didn't pull hard enough".

True but there are probably still a couple improvements you can make to the positions that can mitigate a strength block . Like weight distribution , leg positions .ect. I think the idea is to not imeadiatly default to strength being the issue so you can find improvements even on boulders you might not be phisically capable for yet .

If anyone wants to copy/paste, here’s my note 😃: Louis Parkinson, Catalyst Climbing, Hannah Morris Bouldering kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKOTmdFug7Krf7Q.html Strict limit of attempts at given project during a single session * 5 attempts max. at a [desired] project * 5 attempts min. at a hate/absolute-no problem If you fall off, can’t get back on until answering 2 questions: 1. Why did I fall off? (Not strong or good enough are not allowable answers.) 2. What will I do differently?

This is brilliant advice for absolutely everything.

Those 2 questions are great advice for any skill based sport

This is great, it could be discouraging to real early beginners but to a keen student this is amazing

Louis is an absolutely fantastic teacher! I really wish I had someone like him at my bouldering gym. I'd pay money for lessons!

This mindset of learning and trying is applicable to literally everything in life. I love it. ESP the “I’m not good enough” excuse, “Find another answer” is amazing advice, not being good enough is never an excuse when you’re learning. You’re there to GET GOOD ENOUGH lol. I’m a pretty big video gamer and I see that same defeatist mindset all the time in competitive games and it makes me so angry when someone is just like “ugh I can’t hit them I’m not good enough” TOUGH! Figure it out another way or keep trying

I like this advice. I don’t even climb but it feels somewhat applicable to a lot of great challenges that generate resistance.

Growth mindset summed up in words and attitude!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great advice for learning and improving at anything else too!

I love when learning a skill gives you wisdom that you can apply broadly. Every time we fail anything, we should ask ourselves these two questions. You keep your locus of control internal, you make the most of your practice time, and you're also giving yourself a proper apology. "Here's what I did wrong, here's how I plan to improve." When we mess up, a part of our brain will inevitably be upset with us. Just like when someone else disappoints you, it can make you lose faith in them. You don't want to lose faith in yourself. A strong apology is a good antidote. Anything to take the friction out of trial and error, and keep learning fun and hopeful. I love it. Climbers got some Evel-Knievely wisdom. It's all about getting up from falls.

Stellar advice for basically every application in life ever. They're a gifted and experienced teacher, without a doubt. Going to adapt these guidelines for my chess study, among other things

not being strong enough is absolutely a valid answer. If you can't even hold your body weight on the start, then yeah. I say this as someone who's been climbing and weight training two years now

@modestMousse

Жыл бұрын

Sure, that's a fair point. I suppose that makes this advice most pertinent to those who have already been climbing for a while. Also, of course, even for experienced climbers, there is the point in a session where you simply get exhausted and run out of up-juice.

This is the best advice for bouldering.

I wish I had someone like this to go rock climbing with. I'm not very strong and I am very scared of heights but it looks fun and could help with being not as scared of heights. I would need someone there with me like this to go with because otherwise I would just give up.

This is why I love bouldering❤ solving the problem is the best part. I'm not really a "gym" gal. But I will work like hell to get up a wall 😂

As someone who has been in phases with the hobby I can definitely say sometimes I’m just not strong enough for something yet. I’ll often get over ambitious when returning to climbing after not for a while

Damn you can apply this to literally any other activity. Great tips for learning!!

Regarding the two questions it helped me alot in learning what I was doing wrong, but sometimes ant the end of session you might be not strong enough for eg pinches

This would make me cry hysterically every time I fell off the wall

Great advice!

In other sports I've done it's a 3-attempt limit which we refer to as "training to failure", but as a concept this is brilliant advice for learning any new skill.

At V3 working on my first V4, slowing down and deliberately thinking through my sequencing and technique between attempts has been so against my instincts but revolutionary. Stopping at 5 attempts can be hard though! As can repeating an imperfectly sent problem.

This guy is the best

I do like those questions, but question 2 gives me problems when my coaches ask it. Sometimes, I had specific beta that I’ve done a million times that I know it works, and I fall off because of missing the hold, my answer is “absolutely nothing. I’m just going to hit the hold instead of missing it.” Sometimes, you shouldn’t change what you are doing when you fall off

@MattMcConaha

Жыл бұрын

You can still reasonably answer the question with something like "since I missed the hold \*in this way\*, I'm going to focus a bit more on trying to ensure that I do \*a certain thing with my body\* which is required in order to do the move." Sure, some moves are lower probability and it will take a few attempts to stick it, but you want to make sure that you're focusing on the things you need to do instead of just saying that you'll get it if you just try a few more times.

@chill0314

Жыл бұрын

sometimes your "missing the hold" because your not driving enough through your legs, or your not positioned right before going for the hold. the beta is correct. the execution of the beta is what needs to be looked over.

So wise!!

This sounds like good life advice actually.

This is such great advice

I'm going to start applying this to more stuff I do.

Louis used to teach me at Vauxhall. He’s such a great guy. Funny to randomly see him on yt lol

Thank you for this awesome advice, I'll take it from now on and think if I aim for 5 attempts each and reflect on the climbs!

Great advice

Oh man that’s so smart!

Probably the single most important piece of advice I've ever gotten anywhere about climbing (plus the mindset can be applied elsewhere). Really changed how I approach the wall and how I walk away from it

what a great advice

I have to do that!! I some times dont try hard enough, especially if I cant see/find the solution.

These are great tips!

This is amazing i will certainly try this

That's nice

Bro screw climbing that's incredible life advice

Vary good

I'm a newbie climber but a adept lifter, I love trying climbs I know I'll fail just because, but I dont try them until I'm dead, same with lifting. There are some routes I'm just not flexible/skilled enough for yet

Interesting, I dont exactly ask those questions but I get really stubborn with failing routes even though I haven't been doing it for that long and I'm not fit at all, but I like to push my self anyway

"a climb which you absolutely hate, no way I can do this, it turns into a minimum of 5 attempts" - my climbing buddies whenever I reason that I'm to small for a boulder lol

Usually after a first or second attempt I have about 5 different answers for what I'm going to do differently and just have to try them all out.

i love this

how do you answer falling off without not strong enough if your hand literally cant hold the grip even 1 second

i just saw this AFTER getting home from the gym... wish i'd seen it before 😞

I will rewatch this video until this stick to my mind forever

Like a true salesman

Fun fact, you see magnus do this all the time in his channel. It applies to all levels

Applies to life in general as well.

Awesome

Please be my personal teacher lmao

Which video is this clip from? 🤔

I wish I could learn from someone like this. I climb alone and just copy what I see. No real coaching. I’m not very good😊

These two question you should ask yourself are the BEST advice you can give to ANY skilled climber. You will learn so much faster and improve your climbing without a question.

My reason would be I didn’t have long monkey arms like Louis, I have tiny little t rex ones
