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 love the way he says it too

"Arbsolute marsterclarse"

bouldering / Good YouTube technique guides for a young newbie?

« Last post by slab_happy on Today at 09:44:57 am »

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!

This thread links to some reading I’ve been doing about inductive and deductive reasoning. French sport climbing grades lend themselves to a predominantly inductive process as opposed to the British traditional grading system which, as Andy alluded to, tell you something more about the climb when taken in context. To try and deconstruct then reduce the grading system to a purely utilitarian ‘can I climb X’ is in keeping with the spirit of the age, but a sorry state of affairs.
