I was writing a series of coaching post for my blog, and remembered seeing Paul Diffley’s amazing short film of Jude Spanken an old friend climbing Lord of the Flies. Paul showed this during his slideshow at LLAMFF, and it reminded me of just how much of a technician Jude is when it comes to climbing. So I asked him if he’d put it up online, and not only did he agree, but did it in a matter of hours. So a massive thank you to Paul and HotAches.
During the slideshow I also saw a clip from his recent The Pinnacle, it was so good that it has inspired me next year to tick off those classic gullies on the Ben featured in the video.
The post that I put up on my coaching blog are based on what I call the Three B’s of Coaching Basic Technique. These mini articles cover:
Boot – The basics of Footwork
Balance – The Key to Efficiency
Body Position – Fine tuning your efficiency
