  Spinning Side Climb Question

  Posted by Cherished on July 15, 2014 at 7:58 am

  Hey Everyone,
  I was wondering if any of you do the spinning side climb shown in this vid at 26 seconds
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exk7ortUVl4

  I know there’s already how to instructions further into the video but for those that practise this move is there a sweet spot that you try to use as a point of contact in the back leg (the same way there is with the knee hold for example) or do you just keep doing it repeatedly until the pain goes away?

  Also if you have any tips besides what’s included in the video please share.

  It hurtsssss sooo baaaaaad!!!! lol

  I use forearm to brace against pole (like performance climb) – this stops the ankle grinding pain as most of weight taken in upper body.

  Just looked again and she’s using forearm too.
  It’s a lovely combo.

  Yes, I use the forearm and also I push into the pole more with the back of the calf and not as much as the front of the shin 😊

  Thanks Tropicale and Veena. When my shin recovers I’ll try this again!
