Climbing requires many different micromovements, whether we're climbing stairs, a curb, a stile or a mountain!
Let's break this complex movement into micromovements, best practised on a small step to start with, such as a book, progressing to a step in your house.

The actual climbing over of the top part is very much like this 'step over' movement, which you can practise in your home, over a stool or stack of books. Notice how my pelvis "tucks" when my right leg goes over the clothes rack - that's what you want to avoid! Better on the left leg. I have improved since then...
You can practise stepping over a strap or long belt or scarf (right video below): notice how my pelvic tucks under when my left leg goes up. If this happens, lower the strap!
