Any comments on my question about the head rocking from side-to-side?

Thanks again.
it comes from keeping the upper body loose, which is the proper technique for seated climbing. Try riding with your hands resting on the tops of the bar instead of gripping them and you will see that without using your arms to stabilize you will sway slightly. The effect should not be very pronounced or you need to work on your core more...
