Technique

  1. Climb short routes without a rope, above crash pads.
  2. Push up with your legs and use your arms mainly to hold on and keep your balance.
  3. Place each foot precisely on its hold before reaching for the next one.

Form tips

  1. Keep your arms straight when you can and your hips close to the wall.
  2. Look at your feet when you place them.

Risks

  1. Check that the landing zone is clear and padded, and climb down when you can instead of jumping.
  2. When you fall, land on bent legs and roll onto your back. Do not reach back with your hands.
