What to expect from the sessions: Learn to... Boulder Improvers is a 6-week instructed climbing course with a 1 hour bouldering lesson each week. The course is suitable for existing climbers who boulder at the V2/3 grade. The aim of the course is about giving climbers the tools to help improve, stay motivated, and enjoy their climbing.
Over the 6 weeks we will refine fundamental climbing techniques and start to develop more advanced techniques, which are briefly summarised below:
- Refining Footwork- Looking at fine-tuning the efficiency of your footwork to utilise more power and create more reach
- Fancy Footwork- Toe hooks, heel hooks and bicycles, what are they and how we can use them
- Climbing Steep- Deep dive into the twist lock movement and counter-flagging movement which we can use to generate more power from the legs and hips, and which helps us stay on steeper terrain through control and balance
- Using Momentum- Exploring how to manage momentum (especially for long reaches) and control the power we create when generating momentum
Run by a fantastic climbing instructor, the Learn to... Boulder Improvers course is a great opportunity to learn and improve in a supportive environment!
