In this weeks video, we teamed up with The Climbing Hangar development coach Ben Fitz to cover four essential intermediate techniques for climbers looking to level up their skills: heel hooking, flagging, dynamic movement, and pressing.
Ben was generous enough to guide me through each technique step-by-step over a session at The Climbing Hangar Matchworks in Liverpool. If you’re a newer climber, or you’ve been climbing for years, I hope the session provides some helpful tips to help you improve your climbing efficiency and technique.
