Footwork Drills

3–5 climbs, 3–4 grades below redpoint. Footwork drill! For each foot move, place your foot down precisely (big toe on the best part of the hold), then do a quarter rotation to either side (“squash the bug”), digging your toe even more into the foothold and increasing friction between the hold and the rubber of your shoe. Try to pick climbs with smaller, more difficult footholds.
