THE ATOMIC ELEMENTS OF CLIMBING MOVEMENT

A New Way to Think
About and Assess
Climbing Movement

Like the periodic table of elements, six boxes with single letters show Tension, Position, Rhythm, Commitment, Effort, and Movement.

While strength and power are hugely important to our climbing, they’re only a part of the puzzle. To better apply and leverage your strength, you have to learn to move better. Until now, information on how to do that has been hard to find, and abstract at best.

The common advice has always been, “Improve your technique.”

But how? Where to start?

Join Kris Hampton as he presents an innovative, simpler way to think about climbing movement, along with an easy-to-use evaluation tool that can point you in the right direction towards improvement. And because our movement changes over time, and as we change disciplines, you can use this tool to reassess for bouldering, sport climbing, onsights, redpoints – whatever your current climbing focus is on – and become a better climber, faster.

SAVE TIME AND ENERGY BY TAKING THE GUESSWORK OUT OF IMPROVING YOUR CLIMBING TECHNIQUE

Understand the Concepts

We’ve reimagined how climbing movement can be categorized, and will go in-depth to help you understand the keys to improvement, what we call “The Atomic Elements”.

Learn to Self-Assess

Knowing where to start is the crux of improving your movement. With our easy-to-use evaluation tool, you’ll get a clear picture of which Atomic Elements you should focus your efforts on.
