Spider Climb is a challenging inverted climb that looks magical and is a lot of fun to teach and train. We teach this climb at the end of our intermediate level, after students are comfortable with easier inverted climbs like Opposite Side Climb and Creature Climb, for example.
Smart footwork is key for making this climb successful and this video covers tips we give our students to make it efficient. Laying the groundwork on the floor is really useful and we demonstrate that as part of our progressions.
