Flagging

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

A climbing technique in which a leg is held in a position to maintain balance, rather than to support weight.

Such positions are often useful in preventing barn-dooring.

Types[edit | edit source]

There are three types of flagging:

  1. Normal flag: When the flagging foot stays on the same side (e.g. flagging with the right foot out to the right side of the body).
  2. Reverse inside flag: When the flagging foot is crossed in front of the foot that is on a foothold.
  3. Reverse outside flag: When the flagging foot is crossed behind the foot that is on a foothold.
