Intermediate Climbing Footwork Technique: Inside & Outside Edging, Toes and Heels
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- In this video, we have Tom moving into the zone of "intermediate" footwork techniques. These are methods and skills for using your feet that will really help you progress faster through those middle grades - especially once you've mastered the basics of climbing footwork!
As promised in last week's video, we've got the details of inside and outside edging (moving away from that "powerpoint") combined with knowledge around the all-important toe hook. Whilst the toe hook is a technique that's been around for decades, we've really seen a big change in the standards of application in this - also the route setting styles - in the last 5 years. They're cropping up all over the place!
Finally, the heel-toe cam and heel-plant get the rundown from Tom, including a few demos on the wall. Don't forget that with all of these techniques, it's not just the way in which you apply your foot to the wall, it's also about how you position your body around it and the way in which you apply force. Getting all of these areas to perfection takes years and years.... and even then you'll probably find yourself realising there's more to learn! Take those baby steps, one at a time. Immerse yourself in the process of improving and you'll not regret the massive impact you're going to have on climbing performance.

Just a note, but one of the best ways I improved my climbing was a guy telling me to slow down. I used to rush up the wall since stamina is one of my rather big downsides. This advice got me way further than I had been and did a lot for my climbing.
Thats funny, one of the best tips I got for sport climbing was to climb faster😂😂😂
Slow down to learn the correct technique, then speed up while maintaining good technique, and you'll be good to go ✌️ definitely worth experimenting with different speeds and styles, fast flowy dynamic Vs slow and steady static climbing
Lattice training has the best, most concise explanations of climbing techniques on youtube, hands down.
Keep up the great content!
yandra bouteflika thanks so much!!! We’ll keep trying to do our best!!
This isn't the kind on 'edging' i normally watch on the internet.....
That being said, this is also such great content. Nice one lads.
m w hate to think what that’s all about but there’s no way we’re googling what that means 😅
Love the explanations and demonstrations in this video. Please consider making a public playlist of just the technique videos. They are a bit difficult to find among all the training vids.
I love how you focus on having your hips close to the wall. Once I started focusing on that, most other techniques (that I had never heard about) just came to me naturally. I did hit my hip bone on the wall pretty badly once though.
some pain is part of a proper session usually :D
Brilliant video. Thank you. Hope your channel continues to grow as it deserves!
Such an excellent teacher.
Brilliant! Great teaching--as usual!
Love these intermediate/more advanced technique videos
Incredibly helpful and informative. Thanks for uploading!
The precision in this description is so helpful. Outside edge sounds like the pinky toe (opposite of the big toe), but it's not! It's all the other toes so you still have strength in the foot. Massively underexplained point which I didn't get for ages!
I hadn't heard of a heel plant before but I definitely started doing that intuitively + seeing other people doing it early into climbing. Great explanation of all of these techniques!
One of the most technical videos and well explained. Looking forward to the advanced one. The work in the background looks well on its way in the lockup.....
You are explaining extremely well, this is very helpful, thank you so much!!!
The heel plant is amazing if you can get it in, allows so much weight to get taken of the fingers and always great to get an interim rest in somewhere where you would otherwise be having to be pull very hard. Best tip of the Video. Cannot wait for the advanced Video.
I've been looking for ways to train my technique and this is very helpful, thanks!
This guy is legendary!
Great video! But now I need the advanced version!
Tom Randall Cool! One general thing I‘ve been thinking about: how about an episode sometime where you really try to go above most people‘s head in terms of high end tips / ideas? I‘ve often found to profit a lot from suggestions that I didn‘t understand at first, but which stuck in my head until I learned to appreciate them in time... (if that makes any sense...)
thanks for all the great content, it‘s much appreciated!!
@@BrunoAxhausen like for me it was "apply body tension!" and me thinking "what do they talk about?" ;)
By far the best instructions I've seen for foot work! I'm garbage at toe hooks and I thought I had nailed the foot plant(apparently not) so I have loads of fun stuff to improve now! Thanks, great vid!
Absolutely awesome
Really like how well your explanations are very good video to help build technique this is very helpful to someone like me who doesn’t have a climbing facility nearby
Thanks so much! I can't believe this is free
love how you were using the shoes to explain and illustrate the technique before demonstrating the moves on the wall. helps a great deal 👍👍👍
Great explanation, thanks!
You’re an awesome instructor, Tom!
Thanks for these great explanations 😍
Best video so far
This guy is a great coach!
Awesome video Mate. Thank you 😀👍
Another great video!
Really like these technique vids
Amazing video thank you!
Woohoo! Thank you guys!
You are the best coach
Always love the intro. Thanks for this session! I can already see many past climbs that would have benefitted from this :)
Keep practicing! 😊
Another. Great. Video!
RiccoB thanks!
Well done video
This is so freaking helpful
Thank you
Great video as always, can you also cover ways to weight much smaller holds and climb hard slabs?
Great!
Edging can be very frustrating, but after t doing it for a while, the end result is so satisfying ;)
Good video!I can climb V4+ ,my goal is V5 next year.
So edging is goated
Have yall already done a video on exercises to strengthen heeling hook pulling?
bro bent leg toe hooks are great use them all the time
11:12 - could do with a bit of advice on ensuring you can release a heel-toe jam (particularly when the sole is towards the wall) - I always find it a bit sketchy when I have that much torque through my knee, spend up avoiding it if I’m not sure I can release on the next move.
Great video thanks for sharing! Could you do a grit specific footwork video? Thank you
Excellent video - thank you. Clear and concise with great demonstrations!
Any advise for how to engage really slabby, flat footholds? Like when its basically a flat pancake that you can't edge on (at least I can't) ? Id love to see a video about how to properly utilize them.
watching this because i miss climbing so much...
ok, I see. Masterclass will be THE KNEEBAR :)
+1 for the safety advise :*
Yes we have this in the pipeline!
Madlad here, but you can train your toehooks on a bike, by pulling with your toes instead of pressing with your feet. It's a bit awkward, but it kind-of works
Very good video! I realized I have been using heel toe jams and side heel rollup without knowing the technique. But be careful with both as I have a history of cross ligament rupture you shouldn't fall or slip on these moves ;)
Thanks for the video!! The details are amazing as always!
What about the context in which to use a heelhook rather than a toehook and viceversa? (Speaking as a default-heelhooking kind of guy)
We'll see if we can cover this in future episodes!
How do you remove the foot at the toe-heel lock if you fall? Got the shivers at 11.16. how can you apply it without risking your knee?
Hey guys, I love the content.
Just have one semi related question regarding your 7/3 x6 x10 protocol for building up aerobic base. Do you suggest getting to the point where you can add weight, or do the program twice in a row? I've had amazing progress in my endurance for it so far. Currently I do it twice in a row, once on ice tools with added weight, and then again on the 20mm edge with a bit of weight taken off.
Appreciate it!
Eric William normally you would look to increase volume on this one, unless you were in peak phase.
@@LatticeTraining appreciate it! That program has been incredible for me. Thanks for you all you guys do for the climbing community.
my current project has a heel plant but its not on a vertical wall its on a overhang, right on a lip of it. So when my right foot is planted my left leg is just hanging in the air which sucks.
Unintentionally been using some of these techniques because I'm short and the only way I can reach holds is to push my hips closer to the wall
I’m watching this much later because I’m struggling with a toe hook start move and it occurs to me that I would find this video more helpful if they had an intermediate climber present to teach the technique. Tom is a crack climber and probably has good shin strength, so having a climber I can relate to would help me get more out of the video.
Hey Tom, really nice video. I have a question though. Don't you need to be a bit careful when positioning your heel the way you showed it at the end? I once worked on a heel hook problem where I had my heel/foot in such a position but not just for a brief moment but a bit longer. And it felt like I had quite some body weight on it. In the end my heel started hurting quite a lot after I tried the problem several times so that I could not heel hook properly for a few days. Maybe I just executed it poorly but I was wondering whether maybe in general you need to be a bit careful about how long you are in this position and how much weight you apply on your heel in this position. Thanks in advance.
Yup it's definitely a technique that requires some care and understanding of climbing as a whole. It's a technique we'd recommend using more once you progress from beginner stage of climbing. Like many things in climbing, it comes with a level of risk! Take it easy, only go as far as you are confident and have an exit plan!!
I am 2m (6.7 ft) tall and live in asia. I always feel that i am super crunched when toe hooking, either because i need to flex knees or hips because the distance between holds is just too short for me where the short asians have extended joints. Is there a technical way to compensate for the height difference? Sometimes i can use a heel hook instead but the angles of the hold dont always allow for it.
Lovely accent you have there. New Jersey?
Tom, what is that sweet looking teal shoe you are toe hooking with?
A mystery to this day
#climbing
Be careful with the last technique. I tore my meniscus in a position like that...
you should definetely already have some climbing experience and regular exercise before you move into the more "brutal" heel plants. But then - oh boy - they can be glorious.
🐱👤The heel-toe-jam looks a bit scary for me.
.
Yep, if you fall and your foot is stuck...
Jonnes __ yup, you’ve got to be really careful with this one. Get a nice strong spotter and don’t lock it in too hard when first starting!
Are drop knees considered an advanced technique?
Depends how deep! In a way, it’s a technique that goes across the entire spectrum. We’ve covered the drop knee / twisting in our 5.12/7a video but we’ll definitely aim to do more!
Sub
and almost no crack xD

@7:06 that's racist
