Rope Handling and Body Mechanics: Flying Freely

This class will explore how to move about quickly and safely when entering the suspension arena. We’ll talk about gear preferences, more upline management and how body positioning plays into suspensions. By understanding how body mechanics interact with gravity we’ll be able to move more fluidly in the air and lower the risk of injury. The final portion of the class will involve a suspension transition sequence. Intermediate/Advanced. Requirements: (8-12 pcs) natural fiber rope 6mm or similar, 7-8 meters long. Suspension Equipment such as: climbing straps/runners, climbing grade rated carabiners, suspension ring, or bamboo. A non-collapsing single-column cuff, a solid suspension-worthy TK or chest harness that can be loaded from the back, and a good understanding of tension for tying. Bottoms must be able to effectively communicate to their tops for any adjustments during suspension. Both tops and bottoms must have some suspension experience.
