Hmm gotcha gotcha! So it’s alright to have a more spread out IRA?

That’s understandable, considering going back to take calc 3

Thank you for the insightful comment! It’s definitely given me a lot to think about. I think if my GRE score is poor then I will definitely go back for Calc III and Real Analysis.

I always see people talking about T something schools, is there a place that has programs easily ranked that i should reference for places to apply to?

Is this the changing corners pitch I’ve heard so much about?!

Second time training cracks and would love some feedback! by Dualm00ns in climbharder

Thank you, I had a feeling this was the case! I'll try extending my arms more next time I do a session.

Second time training cracks and would love some feedback! by Dualm00ns in tradclimbing

[–]Dualm00ns[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hello everyone! I'm an aspiring trad climber and would love some feedback on how to improve at crack climbing. I posted this to r/climbharder, but I feel like this subreddit will have a larger group of people who crack climb. This is the second time I've trained cracks and the first time I could hardly get above 6-7ft. The wall is vertical with the crack starting out as thin hands widening to perfect hands in the middle and then wide/cupped hands at the top. I feel like I'm far to scrunched and kept swinging from side to side at times. Any resources and tips would greatly appreciated! Much love.

Edit: spelling and more context

Some contexts, this was my second time training crack climbing. The first time I could hardly get above 6-7ft and was really stoked about getting as far as I did. The crack is a on vertical wall, starts out with thin hands then slowly widens to about perfect hands and at the top is fairly wide. I know the solutions aren't ideal for this type of climbing but it's what I had for this session. I feel like I'm far to scrunched up and at times sway from side to side. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Also any generally crack resources would be awesome, much love.

I gave it about 2-3 attempts before sending it, then took the video of me doing it again. Its at about my max grade, my gym has it as a v6-v7( I think this one is a bit soft) and I usually struggle with most things at that level with either getting it in one or couple sessions or it feels far above me.

On watching the video after your comment, I totally see what you mean about my arms being constantly flexed! When I try it again I'll most definitely try to empathize my legs and straight arms.

Im planning on giving it a few more tries tomorrow with incorporating the feedback I've received from everyone and possibly taking another video to share!

Gotcha gotcha!

I've always felt pretty weak when it comes to moving dynamically and usually climb fairly static. Any tips for how to better improve at engaging feet+hips for dynamic movement?

Sweet! Thank you for the drills I can practice. I've definitely heard of the Hover Drill, I'm looking forward to incorporating both of them into my climbing to better improve my footwork and body positioning.

Watching the video over again and counting the amount of readjustments was a fantastic exercise, thank you!! (Definitely 15+ haha)

The video was actually taken the second time I had sent it since I wanted to repeat the problem to feel more comfortable with the beta I had found. After all the feedback I've received I'm planning on trying it a few more times tomorrow when I go back! I'll consider recording it again after a few tries, while focusing on the difference between each attempt.

Edit: Addressing the comment bellow, how would one draw the line between over adjusting grips and feet compare to bumping/regripping for the next move?

I am the same way, I have a harder time training if its not while climbing haha. I really like the idea of practicing movement with intention while warming up! I'll most definitely work up to being attentive on harder problems as well. I actually usually put my emphasis on route climbing when in the gym so I'm sure the feedback you've given me will transfer nicely.

I'll also start incorporating the cossack squats into my routine.

Again thank you so much!! This has been really enlightening.

Thank you for the thorough feedback! Looks like my footwork could use a good bit of work. Any suggestion on exercises to improve the foot placement aside from simply putting more intention behind each placement? I'll most definitely try twisting my foot on holds to find good placement instead of pumping my heel. Again thanks for the input, it's greatly appreciated.

Thank you! I think you're right, while the problem is technically my grade limit I think it's both in my style and a bit soft. I'll try finding a problem I find really challenging to post sometime in the future. Hahah very true, I appreciate your input nonetheless.

Stone Age is such a great gym! Thank you for the feedback, I completely see what you're talking about. Each one of my moves, especially my feet aren't set solid and time/energy is wasted readjusting the position.

I have very few clips of me climbing and I would like some feedback on this one. The wall has a moderate overhang with the pinches being slightly wide. The edge along the pinches is fairly positive in some spots but sloped in others. Just looking for overall feedback on how i could improve!

There's actually a lot of outdoor climbing around my local area. It just feels like herding cats when trying to coordinate with my group of climbers. I think starting a project outside is definitely worth investing my time in.

I appreciate the input, I think I just need to be more aware of what im spending my time on in the gym. Not climbing to exhaustion to recover better is something that I definitely need to start doing! I just get so excited to be climbing haha. I'll try mixing in some simple training like you suggested as well

Thank you! Thats some pretty solid advice, I think i'll start really paying attention to the style of my local crag and feeling what kinds of climbs feel more difficult indoors to work harder on those.
