To improve your own climbing performances learn and practice good climbing technique. These rock- climbing tips will help you accelerate your climbing performance.
Ø Always Warm Up and Stretch before you start climbing. Tight muscles and ligaments don’t perform as well.
Get in the habit of previewing and learning to read the route before you climb it. Developing this skill will help you get in the right position to make moves at the crux.
Ø Use only the degree of strength on you grip as necessary to steady your balance. Your grip is often the first to go, save forearm strength as much as possible.
Ø A finely developed sense of balance will help you make difficult static and
dynamic moves.
Ø By keeping your body close to the wall you keep your center of balance over your center of mass and relieve pressure on your grip.
Ø Use your legs to hold your weight, not your arms. Your legs are much stronger and will carry you further.
Ø Use arms for balance and shifting weight, not holding weight. When doing moves and sequences that require a great deal of upper body strength, move quickly through the sequence.
Ø Developing the technique of dynamic movement is done by using momentum to peak at the dead point, which is the point at which you grip the hold.
Ø Combining both static and dynamic elements of climbing technique will determine your speed of climbing. Climbers who have mastered this seem to move smoothly and effortlessly.
Ø The right rock climbing techniques combined with building the right muscles give a climber a huge advantage.
Ø Muscles will perform longer with short rests. Develop a skill at finding rest opportunities while climbing to greatly extend your endurance.
Ø Push yourself and your ability with difficult routes. This means you will fall. Taking a fall correctly is one of the most important techniques to learn how to do safely, and will give you confidence to push yourself to your limit.
Finally, watch and learn from other good climbers. Practice good rock climbing technique every time you climb and your climbing performance will measurably improve.
