Any tips on how to dyno? I can't seem to jump as high as I need.

In reply to DreadyCraig: Hey man, I struggle with these too! What I can see from my dyno busting buddies is that there is a weightless point between the arm+leg movement where an explosive leg pop gets the extra height. Watch people doing it and you'll see the arms pull the body up then the legs fire the climber at the destination.

If there's any sideways travel, swinging your body to gather momentum really helps too.

Aim above the hold/s you are trying to get to, and try and 'catch' when weightless (at the apex of your flight).

Happy Popping!

In reply to DreadyCraig: Jump higher

In reply to DreadyCraig:

Mate was really stuck on a dark sopping wet chimney route not long ago, two disco legs and sweating like crazy trying to keep his position. My helpful suggestion of
"dude, this might be the perfect time for your first dyno!"
was not well received :-p

I read a useful article in climber from neil gresham with Tips on dynoing.

heres a link: http://www.climber.co.uk/categories/articleitem.asp?cate=1&topic=6&...

In reply to DreadyCraig: its all in the crouch

In reply to Fidmark:
I had to re-read that. I first read "it's all in the crotch"

In reply to DreadyCraig: It's all about balance and timing - pull with the arms and then kick at the dead-point preferably when the centre of mass is over the launch foot hold...
