Training stemming and dihedrals
|
I'm looking for more pratice in stemming with smooth dihedrals and I was wondering what you guys are doing that don't have access to a quaility route that easily. I think I remember Mike reardon training for romantic warrior and he was stemming in a parking garage corner? But I don't have easy access too one of those either. Any advice is great, thanks guys. |

No idea if it helps, but have hoped I would get some cross over from just doing yoga. |

Some of the best climbing gyms have great dihedrals. Like the Gravity Vault gyms around metro NY/NJ. |

Yeah, the one or two dihedrals we have in our gym have slick wood walls and the usually the holds are to big around there to make it difficult. From what I've gathered I just need to pony up and lead so I can set up a rope on some 11s in my area and run some laps. |

Ask the gym to set a dihedral with some smaller holds? Also, the stemming doesn't need to be too difficult to build hip flexer muscles and flexibility. |
