// SHOW NOTES //
Episode 101
Intro
Welcome to another episode of Anatomy of the Climb! In this episode, we tried a very different style. We asked you, the viewers, to submit your favorite classic Red Rock climbs (and fails). Dan and I then reviewed them and broke down some of the most important aspects of each climb and provided tips on how you can improve your climbing! Let us know what you think of this new style!
Climb Info
Climber: Miguel Climbs
Climb: Porkchop
Grade: V3
While this is mostly a technical climb, I just want to point out that I see loads of patients that are quite weak in an open hand position and this may give them some difficulties because you aren’t really crimping anything here. It’s about good mobility, footwork, and some open hand strength. Don’t ignore that training!
Climber: Geoff Lyman
Climb: Dusty Coffee
Grade: V4
Hip mobility and ankle mobility are important for the high foot movement that he eventually uses to rock over
.......
Ran out of room!! For the rest, please check out the show notes:
