Here Are Some Of The Most Used Rock Climbing Moves


 
Sports,Hobbies,Recreation & Leisure
Bump is one of the original rock climbing moves. This move is used as a stopgap in order to shift hands or feet to a hold that is higher. This has to be done also without changing the position of the body.

Campus move is actually using the hands to climb. This is a method of training grip, contact, and upper body strength.

Crimp move is a grip which allows flexing of the second muscle while the fingertips rest on a ridge. The knuckle needs to be in an extended position for this move. Gaston move is to grip a handhold that is above and to the side of the body with the hand aligned in a thumb down position that is one of the important rock climbing moves. This is an extremely fatal body position because it puts a lot of stress on the rotator cuff of the shoulder.

Lock off move is enabling a handhold to move on to another handhold by gripping one handhold with a lot of power and strength.

Latch move mainly depends on contact strength, accuracy, and timing as it requires immense practice.

Slap is a move to touch a handhold but the move fails to latch it.

Match is the move which ultimately bring both hands to the same handhold.

Side Pull is a move to get a hold that is positioned to the side of the body and cannot be pulled in a downward direction.

Cross-Over is one of the rock climbing moves to bring one arm across the other as the person reach for a new hold.

Undercling is a move to get a hold that faces downwards. Pulling your body upwards and tensing your feet, enough to maintain the tension of the body creates enough opposition. Backstep is one more of the rock climbing moves that is rolling the hip inwards close to the wall by keeping the foot behind the body.

Drop Knee is a move which resembles the backstep. In this move, the foot applies a sideways thrust with the help of the rotation of the knee downwards and inside. Climber can also toe the hook on a hold that is high to perform a backstep. Flag is the move which is done by balancing the body preventing the disturbance of the center of mass. This has to be done by extending the leg.

Hand-Foot Match is the move which is done to place a foot on the same hold as a hand.

Heel Hook is the move to rest the heel on a hold, thereby removing some weight from the arms.

Knee Bar is the move by which a position of rest can be achieved by placing the top of the knee and a foot between two holds.

Rock On move is done to transfer body weight from one foot to the other which is one of the necessary rock climbing moves you should know.

High Step move is done by lifting up a leg to reach a high foot hold.
