DEF

A hold that is grasped sideways.

DEF

... diagonal or vertical edges you can pull sideways on, either toward your body or away from it.

CONT

... side-pulls are very secure. You usually have to counter balance with your feet, pressing them into the rock as you pull on the side-pull hold. This is called opposition and is used a lot in climbing.

French

  • Sports de montagne
CONT

[...] pour utiliser une prise verticale, il est nécessaire d'exercer une traction perpendiculaire à cette prise; celle-ci ne pouvant être équilibrée par la simple gravité, le grimpeur devra créer une force qui contrebalance par exemple par une poussée des pieds en sens contraire. [...] il grimpe en opposition.
