I have recently discovered his page, and it is a phenomenal resource link

He is very honest, creative, covers topics of all abilities, disiplines, and even gets very personal.

Are there other exceptional youtube channels you all like/have learned from ?

Neil Gresham's Masterclass videos are probably the best content on movement I've found on the internet. Which is a bit sad, since they're somewhat beginner-y, but they're still quite good.

I also really like Dave's channel and he has quickly become my favorite climber, mostly because of his honesty and humility, but also because of his incredible achievements.

I have also really liked teamBMC's various series on different forms of outdoor climbing. They're mainly introductory, but I especially like their series on winter climbing, and it's what I show others who are interested in learning more about winter climbing. All of their videos have a UK focus/bias, but it's mostly still applicable. 

Not exactly instructional, but I do really like some of the bouldering channels, especially their outdoor content. Eric Karlsson, Emil Abrahamsson (who has his own channel now with an outdoor focus), and even Bouldering Bobat. It's really fun to watch many different boulderers with different styles and strengths/weaknesses.

Didn't he put out some videos trying to say cams don't work in horizontal placements though?

Dave's videos (training and climbing) are big motivators for me, plus he's just a pure badass.  I'd like to see him come and tick some of North America's hardest stuff.

good climber, but sometimes his pro choices baffle me. hes cam crazy, he uses cams probably 90-95% of the time,  ie: sometimes im watching him try a couple or even 3 cams in a placement, and im sitting there thinking, that restriction in that crack is perfect for a bomber nut, what the hell is he doing.....

Ha I think I choose the wrong first video, I cannot agree.  I do like how there is no music. But cool channel, will peruse more of them

Ive been trying to find a good dry tooling channel to study some basic techniques before going out this winter - a channel called, oddly enough, Dry Tooling has offered some good advice (at least to someone without much experience), though I would always appreciate new people to follow and pieces to read.

it was to suggest that double axle cams in shallow horizontal placements may not work, which makes a lot of sense

+1 for firstpersonbeta. i've learned a lot from his channel.
Ryan Tilley's channel's also been pretty good youtube.com/channel/UC6kqvE…;

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
