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 just learned at the gym that this is actually an international way of encouraging or saying "you can do it". Pretty cool when the whole gym is yelling at you "alle" or "you can do it!".

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.

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.

How long does it take you to get used to your climbing shoes again after not climbing for a while? I haven't climbed in months, my climbing shoes used to be comfortable but now even just putting them on hurts, as if they are new and not broken in anymore.
