11 Neil Greshams Masterclass - Frogging

In this quick installment of Neil Gresham’s Climbing Masterclass, “Frogging” breaks down a deceptively powerful overhang technique for keeping your weight on your feet when the wall gets steep. If you’ve ever felt your hips sag, your core overworked, or your feet skating as the angle kicks back, this focused lesson introduces how a “frog” position can help you stay close, balanced, and in control. Worth watching for its straight-to-the-point coaching, the film highlights why inner-thigh flexibility and smart body positioning matter just as much as strength on overhanging terrain. You’ll come away with a clear picture of when to use frogging, how it can turn awkward rests into usable stances, and how a small adjustment in hip and leg engagement can unlock comfort in positions that usually feel brutally strenuous.
