V7 Climber Learns V13 Level Tension and Footwork

Coach Charlie Schreiber, CSCS, teaches his client, Austin Couch, a solid V7 Boulderer over to his home wall to teach him Elite Level Technique to improve his Tension and Footwork. With over 18 years of climbing experience and 16 years of coaching experience, Charlie shares some of the most valuable lessons he has learned about Tension and Heel Hooking. Charlie uses a varied approach of teaching styles (scalable progression systems, analogies, off-wall sensation capturing, conceptual education and verbal cueing) in order to help Austin create stability and command the wall with his feet in his climbing. If you watch the entire video and then utilize the following drills and exercises in your training, you will undoubtedly see massive improvements in your Tension and Heel Hooks. These drills will allow you to avoid preventable foot-cuts, relieve the hands of excessive weight during dead-points and lock-offs, as well as execute harder movements that revolve around activated ankles and engaged legs!
