Climbing style and technique.

As a climber you will need to constantly focus on improving your climbing style and technique. This will help you to move more efficiently whilst climbing, saving you huge amounts of energy, resulting in you being able to send those harder routes!

This can be worked every time you climb by trying to move as smoothly and as fluidly as possible. Focus on shifting as much bodyweight down onto your feet by keeping your arms straight and sinking your weight down onto your lower body. Gain extra reach by climbing side-on and rotating shoulders, not by locking off with your arms!

Watch climbers with good technique climb and learn from how they climb certain moves. Try and copy what these climbers are doing. Don’t get lazy and fall into bad habits, you need to ingrain good technique every time you climb. Climbing outside and on as many different rock types as possible will also do wonders for your climbing technique!
