I never cut loose! I view it as "Bad Habits" The only time I may consider it, is to completely change body position to reach a hold that was out of reach otherwise.
Obviously, the people who keep saying that 'cutting your feet loose on a climb is wrong' has never tried to climb something that pushes their limit. Because sometimes you just don't have enough core strength to dig your toes into the wall while stretching for a crappy hold. In my opinion, developing core strength is much harder then developing arm and finger strength... I'm just happy I can do problems that seemed impossible for me when I first started, even if I campus almost half of it.. Haha.
Cutting the feet off between moves does not do anything to enhance the inter-muscualr coordination, or strength needed in the core for climbing movement. Bringing the feet back to the rock requires trunk and hip flexion. While keeping the feet on most often requires trunk and hip extension these are opposite joint actions. Also, beyond conventional wisdom among climbers, there no reason to believe that climbing without feet is better for developing contact strength than climbing with feet.
maybe monsters are made but not the best climbers... best way to get good at climbing is to climb. which makes me wonder why the obviously stronger person than me keeps losing his feetholds throughout the video

sounds like ur not from the uk, but the following three things are true:
1) every move on that 45 degree board is so open that its a nightmare, even with the best body tension, to keep ur feet on (theres a video of Chris Webb parsons havin to cut his feet on it too)
2) Dave and Ned are super talented
3)These guys climb 5+ times a week, dividin ur time between 'climbing' and 'training' allows u to get better more effectively , particularly duing comp seasons
@theultimateshoe Nope not from the UK, not sure if thats relevant...Body tension training SHOULD include keeping feet on as well, which takes skill and strength, I'm just saying its not "cool" to just have upper body strength which some bashers here seem to think and its neglecting the lower body and especially the core.
@Trisnic oh i concede u have superior knowledge *bowsdown* NOT, if they were specifically trainin body tension theyd do smaller moves with low feet, these guys really are high end (grade wise) climbers who know what they're doing much more so than you and me, this clearly isnt what they do every day. Can we just leave it there.
@Trisnic The guy on the campus board is Dave Mason, one of the Junior British Team Coaches,who also climbs 8B,and the other guy is Ned Feehally, the British Bouldering Champion. If they 'neglected their core', then I don't think that they'd be where they are now. Stop criticising people you know nothing about. goodbye.
Miss the climbing works, need to get back soon! :D
