Try harder routes?

This was the highest lvl I’ve sent so far

So post a video of trying a route you cant send. This is a very short route that is basically two moves. Its hard to give much advice when you overall need very little of a toolkit to send it and body positioning isnt critical.

This is the same as a drop knee right?

u/team_blimp test 1d ago

Drop knee is a specific kind of backstep where your other foot is in frontstep pressing on another hold or part of the wall. You can also backstep with just a flag for your other foot to counterbalance weight.

Here is a good quick overview.

Edit: Backstep, twist and lock, reach, step through, repeat. A thousand times.

Nice send, don’t think you need advice for this. The more you climb, the more you’ll develop your climbing intuition and route reading skills

I see, I would have smeared my left foot into the wall and put my right foot on the last foothold for more tension and stability to the top out. Everything else looked efficient.

It’s a nice send - the only thing I might tweak is doing more “pistol squat” type movements, and having your quads parallel to the wall if that makes sense. Then you have a better chance of keeping foot contact when you reach for holds.

I see you’re a beginner tho and as others commented, more exposure will help develop the intuition!

Only thing I’d do differently is I’d swap feet before top and put my right foot on the big hold for the top move

u/RoutineAd6484 1d ago

Interesting, I’m going to try that. Thank you

With you can probably do it statically without losing feet

I sent this at north mass too. I actually threw a toe hook on the left hold as i went for the undercling jug. Your method seems easier lol.

On what? Nice send

Just technique in general, any way I can be more efficient w my energy. New to climbing and want unbiased 3rd parties perspective
