We see a lot of new climbers forget to use their thumbs when climbing! (Not to mention pinkies, but that’s for another video.) Our friend Victoria (@parksonrec) noticed a huge difference when she started wrapping her thumbs around these pinches instead of treating them like slopers. This was the first time bouldering and on her first attempt she wasn’t using her thumbs at all. Which is very common! But after we shared the tip and she tried the boulder again she noticed a huge improvement! S...

This is another exercise for beginner climbers that is good for training basic upper body strength. 🔥 It’s also useful as training for mastering pull-ups. To make it harder, you can use weights or try a one-arm lock-off. Follow: @solo_climbers_haven Video credit: @jakub_jedlicka_climbing

5’1” to be exact 😉 This was from our last Connective Climbing meet up! Featuring @gotouchrock Drop a 🙌 if you’re a short climber too! I liked seeing the differences in how we climb this V4. Funny enough, we both skip a hold! Height can bring a variety of challenges in climbing, but it can also be an advantage as well. That’s why it’s important to learn what works for YOUR body. Everyone is different! short climber, climbing challenge, climbers, bouldering

Who do you think has the advantage when climbing? We wanted to show you guys the difference in our hand sizes and how it relates to our climbing styles. While larger hands have advantages on certain things such as larger holds or spanning wider distances, smaller hands also have their benefits. Such as climbing on crimps or pockets. Ultimately, your climbing abiliy depends on a combination of things like strength, technique, flexibility, endurance, and mental focus. Hand size is just one pi...

Can you feel the panic!? 😂 I’ve been lead climbing for only about a year and struggle still struggle with the fear of falling, so I try to find the easiest beta, but I definitely feel it getting better! 🤗 Follow: @solo_climbers_haven.usa @solo climbers haven Credit: Instagram> @savvyfish

Fear Of Falling

Mountain Climbing

Can you feel the panic!? 😂(Mountain climbing)

Here’s how to have proper falling technique:
• Scope out your landing.
• Widen your stance, feet shoulder-width apart.
• Tuck your head and limbs into your body by bringing your arms across your chest.
• On impact, bend your knees and in one fluid motion roll onto your back and side.
• Important! DO NOT try to brace yourself with your arms upon landing. Keep them out in front of you or across your chest as if you’re hugging yourself.
• The steps outlined above are not a substitute for a gym-specific orientation or experienced and accredited instruction. Climbing is inherently dangerous!

Keep in mind every gym has different rules about using the arete! But at my gym, the arete is on unless they tape if off. As I mentioned in the video an arete is where two walls/rock faces meet forming an edge that you can grab. Think of it as the direct opposite of a dihedral! You can find an arete while climbing outdoors or in the gym. Give it a try the next time you see a climb that incorporates this technique! #climbingtraining #climbingtips #climbingtechnique

When boulderers try endurance training… how the challenge works. -start on yellow and make a circle back to the start, then blue, then pink (each counts as a lap) -once you’ve finished pink, start again on yellow and repeat -see how many laps you can get without falling Hayden was our winner with over 8 laps! For reference, yellow is probably V1/2, blue V4/5, and pink V6/7 #climbingtraining #climbinginspiration #climbinggym
