Often I have to abandon boulder problems because my knee hurts from a heel-toe. Anyone know of anything you can do to strengthen the knee against that sort of rotational force?

Cheers!

I used to warm up for the Chimes and Tumbleweed heel-toes by using the one in the middle of Weedkiller a few times..

Get stronger so you dont have to use them?

Could maybe try tensing your quads and hamstrings while doing the heel-toe to stabilise the knee? That's only an educated guess...

I'm no training guru, but after my knee op I did a fait bit of cycling to do some basic strengthening the muscles, then yoga to get it strong in progressively more extreme positions.

I was just about to write something similar.

Heel-toeing with a relaxed leg feels like the right thing to do initially, but makes my knee feel like it's falling apart. Engaging the leg muscles might use more energy, but it is kinder on the knee.

Are you wanting a 10% cut in my advice fee?

25% + an advance on any future ramblings
