BIGGEST MISTAKES Coach Louis Sees at Every Grade (V0-V9+)

I think for me, as a 6a+ climber, I find the worst thing when trying harder 6b+ routes is the finger pain... I just can't hold on to so many tiny holds for so long. I can do most moves individually, but to do a whole route is very hard. Slightly getting better over time/years, but that's still the main issue...

Finally, Magnus' disguise is on point this time

Louis is such a supportive coach! The way that he guided every single one is super humbling and non-judgemental. Even though he is already a skilled climber, he still manages to put his feet into the other's shoes and be able to understand what are their struggles! Absolutely AMAZING coach!

The tips given to Nathan are super applicable to most other climbers honestly. Doing laps and really putting a lot of time into focusing on technique in boulder problems that we can complete decently easily is by far the best spot to polish and work on technique, because we aren't climbing near the limit of our strength/endurance/technique, and we have the time to very specifically consider what we are doing. Even if a boulder is "easy" for a climber, they are still going to feel various levels of "easy" based on the technique they use.

omg that black v3 at the start was literally a project of mine a while ago. like seeing an old friend haha

As a V4 plateau-er, I can't explain how helpful I found that segment. I was expecting something about physical techniques and training, but advice to overcome a mental obstacle was even more helpful than I expected. Thank you!

There needs to be a whole series of these videos - so much fun to watch but also soo helpful!

Awesome video!!

Of all the loads of helpful “top 10 clips for new climbers” this video has the most helpful new information once you’re past that very beginner stage. Love it.

What a great way to teach. So many trainers could
Learn a lot from Louie and his way of talking to people

Louie is the Guthrie Govan of climbing. Subscribed!

Dammmmn the quality of this coach is masterfull. Im resonating this type of communication with one ive seen at high level psychotherapists. 😊

Love this guy!!

What an amazing teacher Louis is :)

Started rock climbing a few years ago- still no confidence with big moves-

Louie is a dream coach

We can easily categorize all those tips into two much more broad advices

Build confidence by practicing

And remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity for the reference

He’s a phenomenal coach. You can tell how seasoned he is, he’s practically able to read minds because he’s seen the same thing so many times.

He sounds like gromit

This is the best climbing video I've seen in a while. It motivated me to go climbing today when I'd already written off the idea because I wasn't feeling it. I'm only just getting back to climbing and it can be frustrating not being able to do what I once could. This video single handedly changed my outlook today and hopefully in general. Thank you!

just went for my first climb yesterday and i'm hooked, its so fun. I loved this, its so helpful as a new climber!

Solid v4 climber this is spot on, when I feel like I’m plateauing I go around the gym climb all the v4s, also find v4 and v5 I find start getting harder to read of the move feels too hard it can’t be right but usually is

you are my favorite combination!

i had a very bad climbing session today. I was alone, in a gym im not familiar with, it was PACKED, and i felt intimidated and didn't perform very well. was feeling shitty and sad. Then i saw this video and made me feel so much better. Relentless optimism!!!

Today was my first climb and this video has some gems for me. Thanks Hannah 😊

I might be an anomaly but I have no regard for my personal safety when climbing, as a v3-v4 climber. I love dynamic moves so I would have had no problems throwing myself over and over again at that large committing move maggie was faced with.

I would say instead that the problem with beginners is learning to stop over gripping and pulling for all your life even on the warm up problems and needing 10-20 minutes between climbs. Even now i get so pumped so fast I feel like if I do not do my project within the first couple tries thats it I won't have the strength needed to finish it that session and then need 2 full days to recover.

i want this guy to coach me 😅

The first one shown is already too hard for me 😢

Good job Louie

the guy's explain it so well, i'm enjoying this video

Great tips ! Thanks 🙏🏻

The v3-v5 tips was exactly what I needed to hear after failing to reach the top of literally all the v4s i did today :)

This is my climbing gym!!!

@hannahmorrisbouldering any chance of a tank top in the shop?

Louis is a treasure of a person.

I’m at Maggie’s level and don’t feel I’m determined and confident enough to make challenging moves. This video really helps!

He's really good at explaining and giving options with also totally understanding how scary it all is ☺️😊

That v4 looks like a solid v6 in my gym

He's such an amazing coach!!! I wish I could train with him!!

wow this video was absolutely genius! Such a great idea and interesting to see what Louis had to say att all the different levels. Loved it!

"Feeling like we've plateaued is a matter of how we measure progress." I love that analogy!

Wow, this is an incredibly good video. Thank you for this ❤

Louis seems to be the best coach ! Love his humor and how supportive he is

Coach Louis has great technical advice, but seems to focus 90% on psychology and 10% on technique. Everyone needs both but for video learning I prefer the technical tips, and the video could be much shorter. I realize that, in this case, it is a video of in-person coaching, and if I was one of the climbers I'm sure his approach would be spot on. But from the videos, I seem to get more from coach Be.
