- I have been climbing for 20 years and 16 of those years I have been lead climbing.
Over the years there are a few drills that I have seen and done to improve my own and other lead climbers clipping.
Clipping is one of those things that can really make or break your lead climbing.
I used to think if I just lead climb more it would just come naturally. Now, I do climb more, but also I practice a few of these drills each time I climb, incorporating them into my climbing session.
Drill 1: 1:07
Drill 2: 2:24
Drill 3: 3:59
Drill 4: 5:21
Drill 5: 7:18 - Jak na to + styl
Nce video. Last week i added clipping routine while in autobelay. First climb clipping, second climb cleaning. Ill definitely try yours. Thanks 👍👍👍
great video! easy to follow and well organized.
Thanks!
I've found myself fumbling clips a lot lately so i think i need to increase my clipping reps outside of climb days. so I put quickdraws up by my hangboard and have started practicing clipping while hanging from jugs.
Be interested in other folks thoughts on this home remedy. I'll try doing the both hands drill at the gym too
A great way to practice! I like doing more clips on the wall as well b/c you’re often clipping in many different positions. This is the beauty of the clip drill, you get a little more mileage in. You could change positions on a Hangboard if you are able to use your feet as well.
If you wanna keep your viewers safe you should not encourage high clipping with no warning. I'm not saying it's always wrong to high clip, but on the second, third, and maybe even fourth bolt there is a risk of groundfall if you fall when you've pulled out the rope to clip. This one of the top 3 safety concerns that are adressed on lead climbing courses in Sweden.
The low clipping you did is not dangerous except on the first bolt.
I’m pretty sure I said that in the video. Maybe I just did it for double clipping? Yes beginners should do all clip drills 4 clips up.
