Good footwork is one of the most important elements of climbing technique at every level. I recently met with Stian and Martin, two incredibly knowledgable climbing coaches from Norway, and co-authors of the Climbing Bible, to bring you a series of climbing coaching masterclasses on footwork, climbing technique and campus training. If bad footwork is holding you back on the wall, try out these tips to improve your climbing.
