The best way for beginners to get better at rock climbing is by ROCK CLIMBING

Don't even bother criticising. Everyone should know that 9 out of 10 expertvillage videos are useless.

u suck at training

[MikeyTheBones]

this is not how you "get in shape for rock climbing"

[Richandler]

Wow arrogance on youtube comments. Surprising. He never says it's a substitute for climbing. It's a small supplemental workout. No different than training for any other sport.

@JayT017 i think you are right..

pretty ridiculous though

he sounds out of breath through the entire video, i can't trust his lack of knowledge, he's probably never climbed before in his life
