Also called foot on a handhold · Feet and legs
You put a foot on the hold your hand is on, then rock over onto it. It gets you onto a ledge when there is nothing higher to pull on.
Grade It is the heart of a mantle , so you need it from V2 (judgement). It is common on V3 –V4 problems with ledges and volume tops.
How to do it
Turn your pull on the hold into a push [100 ] .
Straighten that arm [100 ] .
Shuffle or spread your fingers to make room [91 , 101 ] .
Put the foot on the hold beside the hand [100 ] . Turn the knee out to the side so it doesn’t jam against your chest.
Move your hips over the foot. See Rockover [100 ] .
Push with the leg to stand. Keep pressing with the hand until the leg takes over [100 ] .
Figure 19 (a) The left hand presses down on the ledge. The left foot comes up beside it. (b) The hips move over the foot. Now rock over and stand.
Look for
a ledge, a big hold or a volume top with nothing usable above it.
a rounded top-out . Getting a heel or a foot up beside your hands is often the way [91 ] .
Symptoms
You press out on the hold with both arms but can’t get higher, because your feet are still far below.
Kneeling instead of stepping [101 ] .
Small climbers. For you this is also a reach move.
Bring a foot up to the hold your hand is on before you go for the far hold, because higher hands start from higher feet
