Sequencing: How to Order Movements for Maximum Control

Sequencing: How to Order Movements for Maximum ...

Sequencing is the mechanical order of actions that keeps force, friction, and CoM stable during movement. Good climbers move CoM first, limbs second, and eliminate force spikes through timing. Technique...

Directional Friction: Why Pulling Straight Is a Lie

Directional Friction: Why Pulling Straight Is a...

Directional friction determines how holds actually work. Maximum grip comes from aligning your force perpendicular to the hold surface, not from pulling down. Hip position, CoM alignment, and wrist angle...

Movement Efficiency as Energy Distribution

Movement Efficiency as Energy Distribution

Climbing efficiency is not about using less energy — it is about distributing energy correctly. Efficient movement eliminates force spikes, prevents leakage, assigns the right task to the right limb,...

Momentum & Timing

Momentum & Timing

Momentum and timing allow climbers to move when static strength is insufficient. Momentum carries the CoM through mechanically weak positions, while timing ensures force is applied at the exact moment...

Body Tension & Kinetic Chains

Body Tension & Kinetic Chains

Body tension is not about squeezing the core — it is force continuity across the entire kinetic chain. Efficient climbing happens when feet, hips, core and shoulders transmit force as...
