I would add that it also depends on if it's indoor climbing or outdoor climbing. I don't climb indoors as much as I do outdoors, but usually when we go out we easily have full day sessions, leaving in the morning and getting back at night, sometimes the next morning even. I doubt I would be able to have such long sessions in an indoor gym though... Read more

I haven't gotten there yet, but I have come pretty close to doing one, but I think it was very much my "style" as it was a very physical boulder and I have been weight lifting for a few years and have some strength. I think I was just very much lacking the technique needed to actually do the boulder. If I would have done it though I don't know if I... Read more

Beginner here but I have been doing that for a few month, I don't know if it's ok or not though. I come from a weight lifting background, so to me it just comes natural to lift weight, it's the climbing part that is new for me, and in order to not be in the gym everyday I have been combining sessions. I haven't found what works best yet though as i... Read more

General Climbing  ·  Jul 28
how quickly would i see a difference in my climbing if i start flexibility training? It's a joke among my friends but it is true, I am the least flexible of all of the people I see in the gym. I know I should start training flexibility anyway, but I am curious about how long it will take to actually see the benefits of it in my climbing.
