Many of us when we’re training, probably spend a lot of time campusing, fingerboarding, and working on upper body strength.
But what about the ever important footwork training?
This article from rockandice.com shares 8 ways to spend time training and improving your footwork.
Like this footwork tip, for instance:
“8) Make your own foothold. This last one I got from Matt Samet, when I had been climbing long enough that I probably should have known it, but after he put words to it I used it more. If you lack a foothold, or only have one in the direction you need to go, you can place one foot on the hold and the other shoe on the first one. Just set one forefoot on top of the other. You will be slightly pigeon-toed, but both feet will be on. It’s a good position from which to make a long reach. If the reach is to the right, have the right foot on top, outside edge closest to the wall.”
