35 MINUTES WITH CLIMBING JESUS LESGOOO

aw man your partner comes across like a super supportive gem

i watched daves counterbalancing foot video recently i felt like i didnt really understand the physics of it, but watching this video has made it make so much more sense!

Mike I started climbing aged 35 and did 8a aged 45 and another aged 46. But I built a good pyrimid of lots of 7 to 7c and 5 x 7c+ and got a font 7b boulder done before I tried f8a.

2 x 8a
5 x 7c+
16 x 7c
46 x 7b+
83 x 7b

Its nice seeing this absolute icon of Scottish climbing helping out a little guy like Dave Macleod, bravo!

Glad you’re back Mike! It’s been a couple months.

8a is an insane ambition. will be amazing if you can do it.

What a great teacher Dave is. Great video Mike.

Super interesting tips, and great to have a guy like us shown what they do wrong. Having Dave explain the theory is fab, but seeing it applied to a 'commoner' is faber.

I’ve never clicked so fast in my life!!! Dave is an absolute legend of the UK climbing scene, and you’re firmly cementing yourself as one too in a way!

My favorite climbing duo is back!

Mike: I here you guys I'll stop posting rock climbing on the main page and I'll make another channel about it
Me: ok can't wait to see his next skill
Mike: "stops posting on main channel and only posts climbing"

Oh man that tip at 9:50-9:58  makes so much sense! - the intuition comes to me now that Dave says it and Mike does it because it's exactly the sort of thing you notice when working on a 1 arm pullup.  I never would have thought it would translate like this.  Good show guys!  Obv Dave is brilliant

Thank you so much for putting yourself out there for this video Mike, being vulnerable, and giving us the opportunity to learn some great tips. Thanks also to Dave for the great, but most importantly, accessible cues to use for the everyday climber!

This video more than maybe any other I've watched brings across what differentiates basic understanding of technique and basic application thereof from the vast amount of nuance and knowledge the elite build up over the years. Really cool to watch. Dave makes an amazing coach!

Love seeing videos with Dave

this is one of my favourites coaching season so far <3 having fun, learning, pointing useful and less common tips, chilling in the basement, so cozy

The filming on the side helped appreciate the angle of the traverse.

There is other benefits of hangboarding focusing on open hands as well. Personally, when I hangboard hard on half crimp, I have noticed several times that I get inflation on my PIP joint since it is my most common try-hard griptype (on kilter and moon). To be able to still have the ability to do heavy hangs I switched to open hand and, thus, avoided stressing my PIP even more.  

Be aware that there is still some joint adaptions for superhard 3-finger drags, but they are very much different from half-crimp. So be a bit cautious in the first 3-4 months
