film footage for technique... 6-Jan-2009 At 9:02:25 AM dreamingof8a

I've filmed myself a couple of times in the gym, leading a hard route. Found it very intersting to watch afterwards to see where I hesitated, where I was climbing fast. Would definitely do it again, also outdoors. Especially watching it with someone else can be good. I pointed out quite a few things that I noticed on a friends video for example, and it was really helpful for him to see my version of the same route right next to his ascent. So yeah, I think it can help a lot to pont out and visualise mistakes that one makes!
It's diffferent if someone tells you "you're climbing to nervously" and then trying to fix that on the go where you obviously don't notice it anyway compared to watching yourself climb while someone tells you that.
