Climbing on "the ceiling" (overhangs) can be scary and difficult, but also fun and impressive. It's also necessary as you start climbing more and more difficult routes. Welcome to overhangs.
So how to do it? The first tip is to turn your hips. Try to push the hip on the same side you are grabbing with towards the ceiling. So if you are reaching with your left hand (as in the video below), your left hip should be pushing towards the ceiling
You're probably thinking, I get that I'm supposed to push my hip towards the ceiling, but when I try it I can't do it. Sometimes your feet have to rotate too. The video also covers edging.
