Cat Leap
The Cat Leap (aka Cat Hang) is one of the most fundamental parkour moves for both climbing and descending.

Step by step
3 steps- 01
Jump towards the wall/obstacle, leaning back so that your feet hit first
Don't jump towards an obstacle that doesn't have a ledge you can grab onto, especially at height! - 02
Grab the wall with your feet hitting the wall first or at the same time as your arms grabbing.
Having your feet hit first helps absorb the shock of the landing and puts you in a position where you're less likely to slip. Hands first is much more likely to slip. - 03
When you've grabbed the wall, sink down, extending your arms fully, letting your butt sink.
you did it!
Sinking down isn't always the best if you're going to be doing a climb-up or some other form of climb. Sinking down, however, is good for getting into a secure position on the wall.
