- In this video, we'll go over some movements that I think are great for teaching beginner and intermediate climbers how to use their hips. Hips can be unintuitive to start using, but once you start implementing them then I think you'll be surprised by how much your climbing technique can evolve.

This is the video I was looking for, thank you for creating this. I find myself doing these without that much awareness, and sometimes I don't know whether or not I'm doing it correctly. This is a well made video. You earned a subscriber my friend.
Yeah I think it's really common to do things intuitively at first, I have a ton of old videos where I accidentally stumble upon climbing techniques that I wouldn't become more consistent with for another 6 months to a year lol
this is such an important focus area on the body! the visual examples really help with understanding how you've benefitted from making adjustments to your hips!
"for the sake of not dragging out" you deserve to be appreciated for this
Ah yes, "the perch" and "the sag", terms I have been missing for too long. Thank you for sharing the terminology with some nice examples!
You're right, I don't understand it😉... but after thirty years of climbing I can say I use all of those techniques and it's as natural as walking. Knowing how to control and utilise your centre of gravity is a game changer. I never really thought about until I started teaching others and trying to figure out why they are struggling when I just breeze up the moves (sometimes it's vice versa). It's why I love climbing... it's so nuanced... sometimes a little thing like the position of your head can make all the difference! A great video on an important and very overlooked aspect of climbing. 👍
Appreciate this comment, wonderful insights here. Agree with how nuanced climbing is, and it always makes me fall in love with it more. It always gets me psyched to think about how much more I can learn
I will focus on hips next session, thanks 👍
good luck, hope it helps!
Great content! I found that the music was a bit overpowering at times, something to consider for future videos :)
Absolutely love the editing in this video! And, the clear visuals/tips for beginners to optimize hip position!
As a short climber, I desperately need the few inches extra of reach that hip mobility allows me to have. It baffles me to see people climbing as hard as I do without even using those techniques. So I guess I had to learn those techniques way earlier than somoebody who has a lot of reach and those people will have to learn it way later in their climbing journey.
Haha I'm also pretty short so I can relate to everything you said! I even had a conversation with a short pro climber and he mentioned the same thing you did about how short climbers need to learn some of this stuff at earlier grades. On the bright side though, at least it gets you used to looking for these more nuanced movements sooner rather than later, which is always nice for progressing faster at later grades than the earlier ones
Yess brandon lad this video is a banger, instantly subbed for more beta 🤝
i been climbing for about a month and can't wait to get into the gym to try this stuff out!!!!! so excited to try new techniques!!
I've been climbing for only a few years now and this is by far one of the best tutorials I've seen on youtube! I definitely didn't understand the pelvic tilt section so thank you for posting :)
I'm glad that there was something new to you! Definitely what I was going for with that one haha
Extremely nice video, was looking for something different than the basics
brother you're an absolute goat. i'm a fan of your work.
Great video, thank you! I have to complain about one thing though: your voice was king of low compared to the music in my opinion. I found it hard to understand what you were saying sometimes.
looking forward to future videos! you deserve more subs :)
subscribed, great tips and video quality
beautifully summarized!!
Thank you for sharing all those insights this is gold
Thanks! hope they help :)
Nice. Great tips and excellent illustrations! Keep it up. Subbed.
Glad the visuals are helpful, always trying to figure out how I portray visual information better and i think my style is developing more and more with each video.
these tips are actually great
Love the vid thank you!
Great video! Thank you! More hip content please 😅🤤
This is one of the bestest bouldering vids eva.
Love your videos (incl that one). Just a quick comment that the voice is difficult to understand. Have you tried using a close mic?
Haha i do use a mic, but i think my voice either doesn't carry well or the mic isn't that helpful... I'll play around with audio settings more, though. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the video! What music did you use, btw? It sounds oddly familiar to me
It's from the Stream Beats library, so you may have heard it from other content creators since it's free lol. This video uses tracks from the White album
Just some feedback, your music volume is literally the same level/louder than your voice.
I call it "Gravity point Climbing". The gravity point is in your hips, if you bring that point above the surface of your feetsteps you climbed like a professional (also in lower grade like a 4a). For sure this need hip flexibility (Frog) . When we stand we need no power in the hands, all the weight is above our feet surface , Climbing is so easy in contrary to Tennis or Table tennis ! :)
Pretty interesting video but where did you get the 96% statistic? Did you do a survey?
Cheers mate, this video helped me flash my project
gonna be sagging into an arete pinch and hopefully sending my project tomorrow :D
hell yeah, hope you send
Yes, I learned some of this from Shakira.
Hey, nice video. Can I ask, where did the 96% come from?
made up for sure
Sir, this is CZcams.
👍
I feel like being a static climber isn’t bad Shawn da output is more of a static climber and he climbs v17 I just think it’s important to know when to be dynamic our static
Agree completely, I think it's more that it's difficult to be both concise and give a complete picture in a video script. I mainly wanted those sections to be for people who default to pulling with their arms a lot, not to be a blanket statement on whether static climbing is good or bad (so like advice for a targeted audience rather than universal principles). Will definitely keep this in mind for future scripts, thanks!
Finger strength is probably more important for higher grades. Hips are very fundamental for anything V4 or lower
The beauty with hips is about the possibility to do higher grades without too much finger strength. My hips flexibility is crazy good (I am born like that), I learned to use it at my max and I can go up to V7 even if I have very low finger strength (I am 50, my body got some mileage, if I push training to get better fingers I am getting injured most of time). So I disagree about hips not so important over V4, yes for sure strong fingers can compensate a bad technic but there is limitations.
So basically... We need to bang the wall?
but what happens when the wall ends up pregnant then?
The silly music on the background just make it harder to understand
I think it's 156% of climbers, not 96%. Noob
100% of the title is cancer :)
