In this video, Matthew from Rockface Indoor Climbing Gym shows us the correct way of our foot placement when Bouldering or Rock Climbing.
If you have a solid bouldering foot placement technique it will help you save strength and energy in your arms, while using your already strong legs.
Bad foot placement means your upper body will wear down quickly, you will get forearm pump more often and faster, and your training session length will be shorter. Chances of injury for elbow and shoulder will also grow as you constantly run into the risk of overstressing the small shoulder muscles or elbow joints. Good foot placement will make you tackle harder problems, climb longer and progress faster. That’s why you should work on your footwork technique, and these basics of footwork placement will give you a good starting point.
