A '''traverse''' is a lateral move or route when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing climbing]; going mainly sideways rather than up or down. Traversing a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing_wall climbing wall] is a good warm-up [[exercise]].

When moving laterally, the technique of ''crossing through'' is more [[efficient]] than shuffling. In this, the limbs are crossed so that the moves are longer and more fluid. The longer extension requires [[coordination]] between the hands and the feet to avoid over-extension of the upper or lower part of the [[body]].

If two climbers are roped together for [[protection]], the [[leader]] should secure the rope both before and after a [[difficult]] move when traversing. This enables the following climber to remove the anchorage before making the difficult move while still having good [[security]] from the anchor point which was placed after the move.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traverse_%28climbing%29]
