To stop relying solely on strength and improve your climbing technique, here are a few tips:
Focus on footwork: Precise footwork is essential for efficient climbing, so be sure to place your feet accurately and use them to support your weight.
Practice precise movement: Avoid making big, energy-wasting movements by moving efficiently and with intention on the wall.
Use your body positioning: Body positioning is crucial to efficient climbing, so learn to use your hips, shoulders, and arms to your advantage.
Climb with intention: Instead of just trying to reach the top of the route, focus on each move and try to execute it as perfectly as possible to develop good habits and reinforce proper technique.
Get feedback: Climbing with a partner who can give you feedback on your technique can be incredibly helpful in identifying areas for improvement.
Remember that developing good technique takes time and practice, so be patient with yourself and keep working at it. By improving your technique, you'll be able to climb more efficiently and effectively.
