Todd MeyersCampusing is a rock-climbing training technique, making use of the decidedly evil campus board. Developed in 1988 by climber Wolfgang Güllich (german site only), the board consists of a series of strips affixed in a ladder-like fashion. The entire board is angled to around 20°.

The Diesel Crew blog pointed me in the direction of a great video showing climber Todd Meyers demonstrating this technique. As you’ll quickly see, it isn’t exactly easy.

Another move in campusing is a double handed dyno - you move both hands at once to catch the higher or lower hold as you are leaping up or dropping down. It’s incredibly intense, and one of the best ways to blow a tendon, but it broadens your view of what’s possible…
