----------------------
Flagging is a technique that’s used to achieve balance with the leg that’s not connected to a foothold. It’s done in situations where there is only one available foothold, or if there are multiple footholds, only one that is practical for achieving balance.

There are three types of flags:

Outside Flag
Back flag
Inside flag

This video will go over each type, the conditions needed for doing them, and their application on a variety of boulder problems.
