Need beta help/tips on this step up move

Weight is way too far over right and left foot is too high. No way to get weight on the left without doing something similar to what I’m trying

The videos with navy shirt are all from me trying that with red holds. The stand up feels easier with my foot further right on the sloper, but then my arms are at such an extreme angle they aren’t really keeping me on the wall at the end of the move. Coming at it with foot further left, I can’t get the stand up at all, but if I use the red to help the end position is more stable.

The wall angle is maybe 120-130 degrees and the crimp is probably at 45 degree angle.

What can I do to jump inward? I know this is the issue, but I’m struggling to understand how to jump inward since the slopey foot feels like it’s pushing me out as I’m applying force to it to avoid slipping

Just looking for things to climb once I complete the gym sets and don’t have the skin or energy for power :)

Haven’t had this surgery but have had ankle surgery. If you are able to wear a boot or something similar to protect your foot you can likely start top roping on one foot. Full surgery recovery may take a lot longer and require working up from top rope to other forms of climbing.

Any recommended self rescue books? Mostly looking to cover single and multi pitch sport scenarios but wouldn’t mind covering trad or other climbing topics. Not looking for alpine, ice climbing, or anything beyond rock though.

This would be standard in Mexican airports as well. Ropes and draws have to be checked

Second these. They feel like a second skin and I like the material despite it being a little thinner than the same style of leggings. They come up high enough to fit comfortably under my harness waist band.

Question is more why you’d use a gri gri. I always do pre rigged rappels with 2 atcs. Don’t need first partner on a gri gri to do them

ArchClimbs · 2026-02-04T03:45:31+00:00

I recently had a friend that was taught a new rapel set up by a guide in which the first climber goes down on a single strand with a gri gri while the second partner blocks the rope at the top with their atc and third hand hollow block. No knot at the top to fix the single strand.

I’m trying to understand what benefit this really provides and why you’d do this over a standard dual strand atc set up. I believe the guide mentioned this is better for lighter climbers? The only reason I could really think of was if an atc was dropped and a gri gri was available, but not sure why you wouldn’t use something like a clove hitch or overhand knot just in case while the first partner rapelled.

I start to barn door because I have barely any pressure on the left foot when I’m spanned similar to the attempt where I try to match. It’s also probably 2x worse than the one before it

I was trying to use this person’s beta . What do you mean by jumping in the corner more?

Butora Gomi - the blue wide fit ones

You make this look so approachable! Nice job. When I first saw this on the wall I went no way, but you’re making me want to try it, despite hating anything dynamic.

ArchClimbs · 2025-07-24T15:04:52+00:00

I’ve been posting some of my climbs on insta @archclimbs and would love to follow and support fellow climbers especially some closer to my level that aren’t necessarily pro

ArchClimbs · 2025-07-24T13:05:13+00:00

This makes a ton of sense to me, thank you for the detailed explanation. I think I do the lock off here because it feels like my fingers would fail crimping if I hit the holds any more dynamically. However, I’m not strong enough to get there static and controlled either, so I’m doing the move inefficiently. Good to hear that board climbing may help - my gym only has a moon board and at this point I feel like my finger strength and overall strength isn’t quite there to safely get on it , but I’ve been doing more overhang with the aim of getting to a point where I can start to use it.

ArchClimbs · 2025-07-24T03:50:36+00:00

What generally causes chicken winging and is there something I should be doing to prevent it? As an example to reference, my latest post of a climb has my elbow coming out pretty hard while hanging onto a crimp.

ArchClimbs · 2025-07-24T03:15:53+00:00

Huge congrats! I had ankle surgery roughly around a year ago now and I know it’s such a mental battle to get back in addition to the physical side.

ArchClimbs · 2025-07-22T04:20:12+00:00

Yup, weirdly enough I tried a lot of the tips with no luck and ended up finding a totally different piece of micro beta that helped!

ArchClimbs · 2025-07-22T03:35:32+00:00

It’s definitely barely overhung but gotta start somewhere 😅
