“The most basic principles that govern balance in climbing are:
1. The quality of your balance is determined by the center of gravity in relation to the base of support.
2. Having a broad base of support will be more stable than having a smaller or narrower base. The size of the base is always determined by the size, shape, and orientation of the holds as well as their distribution in space.
3. The lower the center of gravity within its base, the more stable the body will be.
4. The type and quality of balance in a move determine how much muscular effort will be required.”
