"Hi I'm Bill with Zoar Outdoor on behalf of expertvillage.com we are here today at a Chapel Ledges at Ashfield, Massachusetts and in this series I'm going to be talking about the basics of moving on rock. Stemming is a technique that uses the opposition of forces across the corner to make use of hand and foot hold that might otherwise not help you. So by placing my feet across the corner and using my hands to stabilize me I can stand comfortable and then move up by opposing my left foot with my right hand. So I can release my right foot, opposing my right foot with my left hand so I can move my left foot and up I go. Again you want to avoid standing up to straight in the middle of your stemming because you won't have any opposition and you would slip. You want to make sure that your keeping your hands low enough that you can push not reaching to high because that would again eliminate your opposition forces and cause you to slip. Once you got it right it is really stable you might even get a no hands rest for a while. "
