Hip Key Knee Key is a fun variation of an Opposite Side Climb. It adds an extra turn on top of the hip key. We teach this after students are comfortable with their Opposite Side Climb into Hip Key, and ready for something more challenging or just different.
Even though this climb is very tied in, using a windmill hip keying action to finish the climb makes it set more comfortably so it’s a great climb to keep drilling the Windmill Hip Key action. We teach this at our intermediate level and students enjoy the novelty and fun that this climb provides.
