Inside Flag: Episode 2 of “Elite Technique,” my new series made for climbers who want to make hard moves feel easy and look straight up sexy while doing it. Charlie Schreiber, CSCS, Climbing Coach
The Inside Flag isn’t poor technique, it’s just misundestood...
Sometimes called a “through flag,” “Can-Can” or “Ferret Launcher” (lie), this technique can be used in a few situations on the wall to resist rotation and achieve stability during reaches.
If your backflag is limited by your other leg(s), and/or the position requires more rotational opposition against the hold you are reaching from, the inside flag can often be superior.“
