You have a few options for improving tech, like buying a book (Self Coached Climber), taking classes, watching others climb and simply climbing more. If you climb a lot, then your body will figure out what to do, especially if you conciously aware of your footwork, shifting your center of (m)ass, not overgripping, shaking your arms down, etc. I agree with this. But there is one V1 boulder that, well pretty much seems to me to be a strength move(at least for a beginner). I'm on an overhang/incline and the next grip is way up on a straight wall, where I need to sort of swing myself to reach it. The problem is, I'm semi-upside down and simply lack the strength to hang and then swing. Is there a special technique to reach it? Don't feel too bad about yourself. The boulder grading is not very good for easier problems, even V0 is pretty hard. Agreed. The average person off the street probably could not do a V0 boulder problem. The average person is a unemployed drug addict with multiple crack kids to multiple smack heads.
oh! you must live in St Louis, too!
