Rockovers, Mantles & Smears
Here’s how a few different techniques work together in a brilliant set by @waiting_._room
I’ve gotten a few requests to cover some less dynamic techniques, and I hope that these help! The Rockover is one of the most important techniques / concepts in vertical climbing. Essentially repositioning your weight over a good foothold, usually alleviating massive amounts of weight off your hands. This one is especially cool because you start below the hold and Rockover the top of it, but the way you see this move most often is horizontally (rocking over to the left or right from a bad foothold to a good one)
Note :: In the first scene the Rockover isn’t fully completed. The mantle helps me bring my weight fully over the left foot, at which point I’m able to stand. The first portion of the Rockover gets the majority of my weight over the foot, but there’s still some technique to finish it. In other climbs the Rockover may be more self-contained, but what I enjoyed about this climb was how it made you fight and readjust for each position. The opening move was especially challenging but rewarding for me.
