Improve your movement with one of my favorite drills: One Leg Climbing!
Maybe you believe this drill is too simplistic or only what kids do, and if that’s you’re mindset, you’re missing out on fun exploration, play, and better movement integration.
This drill can expose movement weaknesses quickly. If a climber depends on constant double-foot support, then this one-leg drill helps to find balance using a smearing foot, commit weight more fully on the useable leg, and organize the body better to move more efficiently.
The basics are the foundation to good movement. Give it a try the next time you’re at the gym!

Love this! I was forced to do this more when I injured my meniscus for a couple months and it’s actually helped so much with finding stable positions to clip from for sport climbing. 🥳
