BOULDERING AREAS WITH A GREAT MIX OF ANGLES TO SAMPLE
DO YOUR BEST!
A brilliant strength workout is climbing. Shorter climbs are all about power, while over longer climbs you can work on your stamina.
You need to concentrate on maneuvers while you climb, which will help you build problem-solving skills.
TECHNIQUE IS ALL
Use your legs to aid your arms because tension in your arms will fatigue you quickly. It’s not just about strength but how well you move.
BODYWEIGHT RULES
No one cares about what you can max bench or squat on a rock wall. Lifts, such as pull-ups, will aid in your climbing strength. You should spend more time on lifts that improve bodyweight training, muscle stabilization and endurance, and core strength.
LIMBER UP
There’s nothing worse than cramping up mid-movement. Devote some time to stretching before and after your climb to help loosen up tight muscles and allow for more range of motion and flexibility.
PLAN YOUR ROUTE
A route plan is essentially a cheat sheet that helps you to make decision before hand and keep track of your progress. Pick your route difficulty and assess the best way up.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Olivia Pratt
Fantastic Time! My two friends and I complete new to climbing, had a half day climbing during the morning, and went on to deep water soloing trip in the evening, which was just amazing. The instructors were lovely and fun – they really tried to make it enjoyable for everyone. This was the highlight of our trip! Thank you for a great experience and some excellent pics to remember it by.
Emma Kim
I spent three full days rock climbing, one by myself and two with my kids, ages 10 and 14. Instructor listened to what climbing I had done in the past and what I really wanted to focus on learning. His absolute concern for safety impressed me the most, especially having two young climbers. My kids were especially relaxed I think your instructor helped them learn at an accelerated rate.
Joseph Perkins
