GCSE Climbing 3 Points

Students should be able to climb a route of their choice showing three points of contact between moves. This could progress from a slab to overhanging terrain.

To help you understand what this means we have provided a number of links and videos that will get you ready for your GCSE PE Climbing Assessment

• Overhang climbing
• Climbing steep overhangs
• Overhanging problems

There are a number of videos on the BBC Bitsize website specifically for GCSE PE Climbing, they include:

• Body awareness and being able to identify centre of gravity
• Static climbing technique – learning how to balance and shift weight
• Climb with extended elbows
• Edging
• Flagging
