Strict Climbup
lesson
2m 10s
Video Details

The discussion focuses on the technique and execution of strict climbing movements, emphasizing the need for proper hand positioning, strength, and effective use of feet. It highlights that both elbows need to be raised simultaneously while pulling hard and fast. Grip strength plays a vital role in achieving success in the climb, with extra attention given to the positioning of the wrists and hands for an optimal grip on the climbing surface.

One recommended method to master this climbing technique is to practice descending from a higher position, which helps to build the necessary muscle memory and strength for the climb itself. The descent involves lowering the body slowly while maintaining control, especially with elbow position and foot placement, ultimately aiming to return to the optimal "cap position." This method will help climbers perfect the strict climb through repetitive practice and focus on technique.

Climbing requires not only physical strength but also a clear understanding of body mechanics and positioning. Each training session should emphasize going through the strict climb and practicing the descent to reinforce skills. With diligence and consistent practice, climbers can enhance their abilities and efficiently navigate the challenges of climbing.

Key Points:

  1. Proper technique involves both elbows being raised simultaneously while leveraging foot strength and maintaining a strong grip.
  2. Practicing descending can enhance proficiency in strict climbing by developing muscle memory and control.
  3. Consistent training focusing on technique and positioning is essential for improving climbing skills.

The Lesson

Starting in a cat-leap position on the side of a head-height wall, demonstrate a climb-up method of getting over a wall using only your hands and feet. Both elbows must raise up above the wall in parallel and simultaneously.

No forearms, elbows, knees, shins, or any other body-part can be used other than the palm of the hands and the feet.

No Over-grip on the opposite of the wall is allowed.

You cannot lift one elbow and then the other. Both at the same time must be raised.

Wall width must be of standard brick-length or less.

You must finish standing on top of the wall.

You must repeat three times.

okay so now it's time for the strict

													

																									

														
8

														
climb up which is both elbows at the

													

																									

														
10.8

														
same time a lot of this is going to be

													

																									

														
13.559

														
down to good technique but also grip

													

																									

														
17.52

														
strength and using the foot as much as

													

																									

														
20.88

														
you can so it's power pulling as hard as

													

																									

														
24.199

														
you can as fast as you can um getting

													

																									

														
27.32

														
both uh wrists over the top both hands

													

																									

														
30.24

														
on top and really being able to grip

													

																									

														
32.64

														
hard so step one is going to be both

													

																									

														
35.92

														
both hands on top elbows up pushing with

													

																									

														
39.12

														
the foot as you step up um so let's give

													

																									

														
42.2

														
that a go strict climb up from here is

													

																									

														
46.6

														
up and step okay so I've stepped up as I

													

																									

														
50.92

														
pull getting both elbows up at the exact

													

																									

														
54.399

														
same time and Levering up um this takes

													

																									

														
58.76

														
a lot of practice you can use all the

													

																									

														
61.44

														
other methods uh to sort of build up to

													

																									

														
64.32

														
this one really good method of uh doing

													

																									

														
68.799

														
the climb up in a really good well a

													

																									

														
71.52

														
good way is a descent so start in The

													

																									

														
74.56

														
Descent position and slowly come down

													

																									

														
77.64

														
with both elbows and trying to get back

													

																									

														
80.32

														
into the arm jump position the tricky

													

																									

														
82.56

														
part is going to get your foot up High

													

																									

														
85.6

														
um as you're coming down but it's a it's

													

																									

														
88.56

														
a good way of getting that climb up

													

																									

														
91.2

														
let's do it again strict climb up and

													

																									

														
93.119

														
then I'll do the Descent slowly as well

													

																									

														
95.28

														
so we can see

													

																									

														
97.46

														
[Music]

that up and then from here come down to

													

																									

														
102.56

														
your chest elbows down and then back to

													

																									

														
106.6

														
the cap position okay one more time

													

																									

														
109.96

														
let's get on from here you're going to

													

																									

														
113.36

														
both elbows up come down both hands in

													

																									

														
118.36

														
the cap position and finish and that

													

																									

														
121.32

														
would be the strict climb up
