POGO DRILL II

Climbing

Movement Drills

  1. Watch the video below and practice these three steps:
  • Counter movement
  • The kick
  • Moment of suspension
  1. Pick 3 steep (30–50°) climbs, 3–4 grades below your redpoint. Do each one using a pogo for every hand move (it might help to skip some handholds!). Some moves may feel awkward and contrived, but this will help you get more natural with pogo technique and identifying them on harder climbs.
