ALOne of the first rules in climbing is: use your legs.
Link in bio🔗
But at the beginning, most climbers naturally do the opposite. We try to hold on with the hands, pull with the arms, and think about how not to fall, not about how to move. This is even more common if you already have strong arms. You can solve some moves by pulling harder, and yes, this can build grip strength. But coordination does not improve much if every move starts from the upper body. A useful drill is to imagine that your hand on the hold becomes a rigid lever. Not completely locked, but quiet. The hand fixes the point of support, the elbow stays almost straight, and your goal is to switch off the arm as much as possible. Now your brain has to find movement somewhere else: in the feet, hips, torso, and center of mass. This helps you stop thinking only about holding the wall and start feeling how to move your body on the wall. Because climbing is not just about pulling yourself up. It is about coordinating the whole body around points of support.
👉EternaClimb. Stop pulling. Start moving.
