The individuals that compete in these events are some of the best climbers in the world. There are videos of both youth and adult competitions. To give an example, I have included a video this year’s World Championship Finals for Youth B (ages 13-14 years old)!
One of the best ways to improve as a climber is to observe those who are better than you and learn from what they do. In this video you can see how efficiently these climbers: move their bodies/hips on the wall; climb with straight arms and using their legs to push; use their feet with great precision; and see how they find rest positions and shake out to preserve energy.
This is a long video/event to watch, if you do not have time for the entire video pick a few climbers to watch and take some notes! Enjoy!
