Purpose:
To encourage you to play around with dynamic climbing using an augmented systems board, such as a Kilter or Moon Board
Where: on an augmented board i.e. Kilter, Moon or Tension Board
This drill specifically requires access to a Kilter/Moon/Tension Board or equivalent. Any board of this nature will work, as long as you are able to light up the holds
It is worth noting this drill is a little anti-social and as such, it may be a good idea to wait until a quiet period at the wall (or see if you can talk everyone else into joining in…)
When: during the Learning Window or Options
This involves big dynos so ensure you have enough juice in the tank but it only involves one move at a time
The Drill:
Connect the board to your phone and select to design a new route. Then select your chosen starting hold to use for every dyno (probably best to make it a good hold).
- From the starting hold, dyno to any target hold and tap it. You do not need to latch the target hold
- Mark the target hold on the app in a different colour
- Return to your same starting hold and aim for a new target hold, again not latching only tapping
- Mark this new hold on the app as well as the first
- Repeat until you run out of holds that are not marked
You may use any footholds
The Outcome: How do you know when it’s working?
The obvious result will be that you should see a nice arc of holds all in the same colour, eminating from your starting hold
More importantly, you should find that your explosive power begins to improve (by completing the drill regularly) and your dyno technique also begins to improve
