Climbing on slab can be terrifying! How do you trust your feet smearing on volumes?!

Don’t worry! Coach Billy has got you covered in Sketchy Slab 101!

✅Drop your heels when smearing on volumes. This increases the surface area of your shoe making contact with the surface.
✅Place your foot on the part of the volume far from the wall, this directs your centre of mass into the wall. You can do this to a degree on those larger foot holds too.
✅Think about keeping your hips to the wall and over your feet. If your hips stick out behind you, you may peel away from the wall.
❌Don’t have greedy feet!
✅On small footholds, preempt your next foot move and leave space for your other foot if you need to match or foot swap.
✅On balance-y climbs, move slow, take your time and focus on maintaining your balance, not just moving to the next hold.
✅Recognise those times when a bit of momentum and coordination is necessary. These kinds of moves might require some rehearsing.
