Love it or hate it, slab climbing is part of being a well rounded climber. Learning good slab technique and being comfortable with its committing nature is essential for many climbers. Even if your projects don't require slab moves, you'll learn important movement skills from balance, momentum and subtle footwork. In this episode coach @hadley_joshua covers the mechanics of common slab techniques such as smearing, centre of balance and unique moves such as palming and using heels to rest! Coach @jenwood435 then runs us through 3 sessions to put your skills to the test and build all important slab strength. These include; Commitment, Repeaters and lower body strength exercises. It's important to remember that even if you have limited slab terrain to train on indoors you can get creative with eliminating holds, one handed climbing and no-handed climbing.
