Technique is the essence of climbing. It is thanks to the magic powers of movement that skilful women frequently out-perform stronger men and why many climbers achieve personal bests in their later years. Neil Gresham takes a look at one of the most varied aspects of climbing and gives some pointers on how to improve.
Good article but there seems to be a bit of a gap on possible tips to train technique for those who are operating above the intermediate F7a+/f6c/V5 and below the F8a/f8a/elite levels.
Enjoyed this article. As someone who has, until 6 months ago,only dabbled in the sport and is now keen to take things more seriously, i found the whole thing made sense.
Neil Gresham did a couple of training videos years ago, you can find them on YouTube. I think they're still some of the best training material out there, they helped me so much when I was starting out.
