My 12-year-old niece has just started bouldering and is very enthused and keen to learn. Unfortunately we live in different cities so I can't go climbing with her regularly, and she doesn't want to join a kids' class.

Anyone got recs for good YouTube videos showing movement technique for beginners? E.g. basic footwork, backstepping, what a heelhook or a mantel is, etc..

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

Gresh‘s Masterclass is the standard basic recommendation. If she’s smart and with a decent attention span, then Hannah Morris‘s episodes with Be Fuller for more explanation of the principles

I find Dave Mac's stuff really good

Moving beyond the basic, thekettle's book and YouTube channel are well worth checking out:
