Single Arm Slow Descent is an elegant descent where the body position creates the support. This descent builds from Basic Stand Through the Middle, and we teach it to Level 1 students who are comfortable climbing and already comfortable with Inchworm Descent.

This descent is best done very slowly, with support at the hips, shoulders, and feet. This descent can be nice when combined with Basic Climb Through the Middle. This is an enjoyable descent and a good way to teach creating support across multiple body parts to keep the arms and grip more relaxed.
