PYT learns to footlock 1st rec climb

[dadio]

Video shows a young woman learning to footlock on her first recreational climb. I was impressed with how fast she learned. She had the technique down in a matter of minutes..

 

There's a short 9 minute version of just the footlocking, and a longer 28 minute version of the entire climb. Some might consider this low action/boring, but there are a few good climbing tips for novices in the longer version.. I showed it to a young man interested in getting a job in the industry and then learning to climb. He was pretty excited after watching it, so it might be worth bookmarking to show to the real newbies..

 

Here's the 9 minute version. There are very few edits. You can see she pretty much learned how to footlock in just a few minutes.
