15 Neil Greshams Masterclass - Bicycling

Neil Gresham’s Masterclass: Bicycling is a lightning-quick technique primer focused on one of the most useful tricks for steep terrain. When you’re moving across a horizontal roof and there’s nothing obvious for a heel or toe hook, “bicycling” gives you a way to keep your feet engaged and your body from swinging out. In just a few moments, Gresham breaks down the core idea—pinching a projecting feature between both feet to create traction—and why it can be the difference between cutting loose and staying in control. If roofs and big traverses shut you down, this bite-sized lesson is an easy watch with immediate payoff: better tension, calmer movement, and a new option when footholds look impossible.
