MC Conrad, a voice junglists will never forget.

I just saw that in memorandum the BBC site now has his 1995 essential mix up. - I taped it off the radio onto cassette back in 1995!
Fond memories of hearing him at Speed in London and at the Tribal Gathering festival!

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

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

bouldering / Good YouTube technique guides for a young newbie?

« Last post by slab_happy on May 12, 2024, 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!
