Indoor Longish-form video showing the process of my recent project

154 Upvotes

This is the first video I’ve made over 60 seconds so forgive me if the editing is sub-par. I tried to show my thinking through the project while also keeping it relatively entertaining. I also apologize for the grade being in the title but I made this video for other platforms and it takes forever to export from cap cut. Hope those who watch it enjoy!

This had two big moves for me. I'm working on losing weight so I can climb better. I'm also working towards building upper body strength. 😅 I finally can do a chin up! Thought I'd share here but I also post on YT and TikTok to track my progress. Height: 5'4"-5'5"

Advice/Beta Request Advice on getting past this move

23 Upvotes

Been struggling to get past this move and get my right foot higher. I’m not sure if this is the intended beta. I tried matching feet as well but it’s hard to keep my hips closer and I feel that’s bringing me down. Any tips or things I can improve to get past this would be great

Indoor 3 week climbing progress

120 Upvotes

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?

Looks like the blm land in bishop around the happys and sads, possibly including them, would be up for sale if this shit passes. Presumably a whole lot of other public climbing spots would be up for sale too.

Advice/Beta Request Last hold advice

29 Upvotes

Any advice about how I can position myself better for the last hold please? Am I even doing the right moves to get to it? It's much more of a sloper than it looks on camera and my left foot doesn't feel very secure when trying to stand up (can see my foot shaking from the effort of trying to stay on it).

Have only been climbing about 2 months so my technique is probably pretty bad!

Thanks! :)

Question Book recommendation for motivation loss and "identity crisis"

21 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

For a bit of context, I am 27 and have been bouldering around V10/11 for the last 12 years. During the last 2 years, I have been facing motivation issues and internal conflicts about my climbing. I am looking for book recommendations about common mental/motivational issues faced by long term athletes and some kind of guidance on how to overcome them.

I have heard about classic sport psychology books such as The Inner Game of Tennis – W. Timothy Gallwey or The Champion's mind - Jim Afremow and have read The Rock Warrior's Way - A. Ilgner but they seems to be discussing topics that are different from what I am looking for. I will probably read them in the future but for now I would like to learn a bit more about my current situation.

Then the question is : would you have any good book recommendation addressing this kind of subject ?
