Week 1
Discovering Climbing Movement

  • Learning to push not pull ‘stop pulling, starting pushing’ - utilising strength in legs which is already sufficient to move your bodyweight - ‘if you can get up stairs you can go bouldering’

  • Harnessing forces generated by pushing through legs and using arms to direct force

  • Key objectives are developing rockovers and climbing balance

  • Looking at falling

Week 2
Exploring Climbing Movement

  • Looking at the techniques introduced in week 1 in more specific detail (specific foot placement & hold selection) and developing an increased awareness of climbing movement (using body position to make climbing easier!). 

  • Key objective are developing foot placement and twisting (body position) 

  • A bit of climbing jargon - hold types (crimps, slopers, jugs, pinches) etc. 

Week 3
Efficient Climbing Movement

  • A fine-tuning and compounding session to maximise what has been learnt in Week 1 & 2 and increase control of movement

  • Looking at how we can utilise momentum in climbing to make moves feel easier (e.g. more dynamic rockovers)

  • Looking at which techniques are most effective on different terrains (e.g. rock overs on slabs, and twisting on overhangs)
