Confident Feet

Problem selection:

Select problems with bad footholds or off-balance positions. Aim for easier problems, that are areas of weakness for you.

Climbing cadence:

Climb each problem 3 times. Rest as much as needed in between reps, at least 3 minutes.

First, move slowly and precisely, 20% slower than you would normally. Make your foot placements perfectly precise. Try to eliminate kicking the wall, weighting the foot more than once, and dragging your feet. Try to make your foot placements as quiet as possible.

On the second rep, move your body and hands at your normal climbing speed. But, keep your focus on precise foot placements. When it’s time to move your feet, slow back down as much as needed in order to place your feet absolutely perfectly. Look at your footholds!

On the third rep, try to move your body and hands 10% faster than you usually would, but still maintain perfectly precise feet. Don’t progress the difficulty of the drill until this fast rep is smooth!

Combination:

This is a general session and can be combined with any session. Perform after warming up and before any conditioning.
