How do you extend your climbing reach as a short climber? The Small vs Tall debate is hotly contested amongst climbers, but how much does height and reach actually make a difference in climbing?
In this video, I teamed up with pro Pro Climber Alex Waterhouse to look at 4 climbing tips and techniques that are crucial to maximise your climbing reach. We headed for a session at @theclimbinghangaruk in Sheffield to cover some foundational climbing techniques, designed to help you maximise your climbing reach on the wall, no matter your height and whatever your stance on the tall vs small debate!
