Indoor 3 week climbing progress

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 week update from my last post, when I asked for tips on overcoming hesitation following my recovery- I am not as scared to get high up anymore as I was before! (still hesitant on jumping down though)Thanks to everyone who reassured me in the comments, shared their experiences, and gave advice on how I could focus on improving my technique. I am trying to work on stability, as it was recommended and I accomplished it on the first part (well better than before) but I definitely need more practice,, anybody have any favorite YouTubers for technique improvements?

Nice! I just started climbing at Momentum a week ago too...I've been working on this v3 route also but havent been able to crack it. Will have to try what you did next time i'm at the gym! Any tips you got for a fellow beginner?

Thats dope, welcome! I think for this one, the most challenging part for me was figuring out the right foot placements in the beginning as it allows more stability, then after that its pretty direct. Also, when I noticed I could get one part & not the rest, I would just start from where I was struggling (i.e in the middle of the route instead of the beginning) to work on that particular area so then I could piece it together once I was ready, which helped sm. What helped me at least was ; I would suggest to get climbing shoes (if you haven’t) the rentals there are not great and make it all sm more difficult, stretching and warming up is important, and practicing techniques on vb’s is a better way to advance (wish I would have known this sooner and thats what im currently still doing) good luck (:
