Footwork for Climbing - Applying Pressure & Understanding Heel Positions

Over the last 12 years, I've coached thousands of climbers. Nearly all of them have been guilty of not knowing or acknowledging what their heels have been doing. I'm sure if you ask yourself the question as to what your heels are doing when climbing, you'd start to think more about it. In term, you'd start to think more about the surface in which you are standing on and the pressure you are applying. These principles are crucial in confident climbing and watching this video should seriously help your performance moving forwards (and upwards ;)). Low heels are great and essential on slopers and volumes. You need to maximise the contact area between your shoes and the surface - very much like a car tyre. Low heels on positive holds is not great - it pushes your knees out, bum out and therefore you pull your way up the wall. Positive holds demand higher heels - pressing through the big toe onto the edge and in turn it helps bring your hips into the wall and drive your energy upwards. I hope you enjoy the video and let me know your thoughts.
