Taking practice falls is a great way to build up your confidence while lead climbing. Here are a few tips that I have found helpful when helping my new lead climbing buddies.
Practicing falls is actually a good idea. Never thought of it as a type of "practice". But definitely noticed that after a few falls it gets mentally easier to go all out for a risky move Thanks for the tips ✨ Gotta try them all!
I just come back from a session. After 2 or 3 years of weekly sessions i'm still shitting my pants of falling. I just got home and find your video without searching. Thanks, i love the way you talk and explain things calmly. Also having illustrations of what you say is very efficient. Godspeed 🙂
Ah yes. The weight discrepancy is a big deal. Also if your belayer knows to jump or not. The ohm is a good work around for someone lighter than you. Also a belayer who really knows how to catch you is invaluable. But that takes practice. One of my belay partners is 60lbs lighter than me, and we don’t use an Ohm. Of course if I were double their weight I would insist. I don’t know what the weight discrepancy is between you and your belay partner, but I’m glad you are being safe.
