Positional Awareness
Three Phases of Movement
1. A RESTING position uses legs for BALANCE and shifts body mass into the rope.
2. Use the pendulums outer line to TRANSITION your centre of mass into a vertical position above the heel. Stand vertically, maintaining good posture, keep elbows tucked, remove slack from the system.
3. Return to a RESTING position … and repeat.
An opposed second climbing line allows climber to maintain a constant NEUTRAL position.
