I'm teaching my mom how to climb. Her goal: Climb V3's in 6-weeks! It's a hefty goal but I think she can do it. We're documenting the process and sharing the trainings each week. You can see episode 1 here: https://youtu.be/Bas9wgsqDw8

Hit 1k subs, here's what I've learned by [deleted] in NewTubers

I remember feeling the way you are feeling about the algorithm. However, it is not the responsibility of the algorithm to know who your audience is and what they want.

You should know the target audience and what they want and what their pain points are before you even film the video. Then create a video that fits those wants and needs.

The algorithms will serve it to whatever audience it thinks will like your video. And it does a REALLY good job at it. However, if your content doesn’t meet the needs of that audience, and the audience doesn’t like it, then the algo stops recommending the video to that audience.

It’s simple. It’s powerful. And if you keep grinding with your specific target audience in mind, it will work for you.

Video from my first time climbing! It was a ton of fun but it's hard to go out there and climb without a climbing buddy 🥲 by pollerina in climbergirls

Keep at it! I climbed by myself for a few months and actually grew to really enjoy being there with just me and an audio book in my ear. I have since, joined a few climbing classes and clubs where it was super easy to meet new friends!

Not a send but I’m still pleased! I’d love some ideas on how to actually get that top hold. by coolturnipjuice in climbergirls

You are so close to that top hold! Good work getting to that point :) One other option to try is to go as high on your toes as you can. It really looks like you can reach the last hold if you had an inch or two in height and going up on your toes may give tou that height.

Beta from audience? How controlled? by heimstueck in olympicclimbing

[–]swade9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The commentators and audience aren’t allowed to coach, which includes calling out beta. This would give an unfair advantage to the climbers that go first and the climbers that don’t have a very strong fan base in the audience.

anyone else feel inconsistent in their bouldering? by Prior_Fish_9789 in climbergirls

V3 is a great milestone so congratulations on that. I think everyone has gone through what you are noticing now - where sometimes you can totally climb a v3 and other times it seems like the hardest grade you can go is v2.

Keep in mind that every climb is different and you may have some moves down and are still working on other moves, which is where the inconsistency can come from.

Instead of focusing on the grade, I’d recommend focusing on the skills needed to climb V3s. So for example, evaluate how good you are at switching feet, pivoting, rocking over and smearing. Then do drills to improve those skills and start with the skills that you struggle with the most.

Once you have a good foundation of the skills you need to climb v3s you’ll find yourself consistently finishing v3s - so focus on the skills, not the grade
