Intermediate / Advanced Clinic with Ian UmsteadTake your figure 4/9 skills to the next level in this power-packed clinic for experienced drytoolers. If you can already link multiple figure 4/9s without stopping and are comfortable leading in these positions, this session will help you climb longer, move smoother, and rest smarter on steep terrain.
You’ll train on our World Cup drytooling wall, using the same style of terrain and features seen in elite-level competition.
What You’ll Learn
• Rest Like a Pro
Learn how to relax and recover in figure 4/9, plus smart ways to find rests on long, pumpy routes.
• Endurance Training
Build the specific fitness, core strength, and stability needed for extended figure 4/9 sequences.
• Refined Technique
Dial in precise, efficient transitions for cleaner movement.
• Reverse-Grip Skills
Master reverse-grip figure 4/9s to unlock more options on complex routes.
• Rotational Moves
Explore 360-degree figure 4/9 movement for dynamic and awkward sequences.
• Efficiency Boost
Learn how to conserve energy and maintain flow on sustained steep climbing.
Who This Is For:
Intermediate to advanced drytoolers who are already comfortable with figure 4/9 techniques and want to level up.
Whether you’re chasing your next D15 or training for big alpine objectives, this clinic will sharpen your technique and give you the tactical edge to send steep lines with confidence and control.
