To perform a sideways dyno, you need to use your leg to generate momentum.
Understanding the Sideways Dyno
A sideways dyno is a dynamic climbing move where you jump or lunge to a hold that is to your side, rather than directly above or in front. It requires a combination of body positioning, momentum, and precision.
Key Elements
- Leg Momentum: The main source of power for a sideways dyno comes from your legs. As demonstrated in the video, you swing your leg back to create more forward momentum.
- Body Positioning: Proper body position is crucial for a successful dyno.
- Targeted Reach: It's essential to have a clear target hold in mind and reach for it with purpose.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Initial Positioning: Start with a stable grip on your holds. Position yourself so you are ready to launch sideways.
- Leg Swing: Swing your leg backwards to build momentum. This is a critical step, as indicated in the reference: "By throwing it back it means I have more to throw forwards."
- Launch: Simultaneously push off with your feet and swing your body towards your target hold.
- Reach and Catch: Reach out with your hand to catch the targeted hold.
- Control and Stabilize: Once you catch the hold, stabilize your body and continue the climb.
Techniques for Success
- Practice: Practice generating momentum and hitting a specific side hold using your leg swing.
- Visualization: Visualize the movement and reach before attempting the dyno.
- Body Awareness: Pay attention to your body's position and balance throughout the move.
- Controlled Movement: Avoid jerky or rushed movements; focus on a smooth, controlled launch.
By using your leg to generate momentum and employing proper technique, you can successfully perform a sideways dyno.
