general climbing

Climbing is a lot of fun and attractive to many people seeking a new hobby or simply to get into a new sport because it is a sport that doesn't require much gear, or even strength, and provides both a physical challenge and a mental challenge.

To be a good climber and to progress in the sport, you do not necessarily have to be very strong. Having good technique, and a good understanding about climbing, about your strengths, and about your climbing style, can give you a great advantage while climbing.

This basically means that anyone who is physically capable can start climbing. You don't have to be strong, you don't have to have previous experience in other sports or at lifting weights. Though those things can help a lot, they are not required, and strength will build as you climb. Understanding climbing and developing good technique can compensate for less physical strength.

Climbing is also a great mental activity and challenge. In bouldering, for example, each route is also known as a problem, the climber must understand the problem and solve it using just their body. This means that they need to understand how the route can be climbed, and how to adapt that solution to their body, or to find a solution that will fit their capabilities.

Very often, the better solution to solving the problem will not be the more powerful solution that requires a lot of strength, but rather, it will be the solution that requires great technique. Though, it can be a combination of having great technique, strength, flexibility, and experience.

So what is fun about climbing is that it really isn't just a physical sport that requires you to be very strong. It is very much a mental challenge as much as it is a physical challenge. So for those who love sports and puzzles, climbing can be a lot of fun.

It depends on if you are a new climber or someone who already has some experience in climbing.

If you are a new climber, then you will probably be more sore than people who have climbed even a few more times than you. One of the main reasons is because some of the muscles that are sore are actually muscles that most people do not use very often.

Climbing puts your body in positions it normally does not go into in day to day life, and not even in many other sports. It also requires you to use muscles differently to be able to stabilize yourself on the wall and climb your way up.

It is very normally for muscles you have never felt before to feel sore, this includes your forearms, back, shoulders, biceps, legs, and many other smaller muscles. If you are a beginner, you will probably also feel some soreness in some very small muscles that do not get used very often, they are used in climbing!

Once you get past the first few initial climbing sessions, the amount of muscles that become sore lessens, but, this really depends on your climbing intensity. If you always have very intense climbing sessions, you can expect your muscles to be pretty sore. But, as you get used to climbing, the soreness goes away, almost to the point where you are not even sore.

More experienced climbers are able to climb day after day, even, depending on the intensity at which they are climbing. This is because their muscles have gotten used to the tension climbing puts on them, and they have strengthened to the point where the normal climbing sessions do not bother them that much. They would need to have a really intense climbing session for those muscles to get sore.

There is no weight limit to climbing, everyone can climb regardless of their weight. Though, those that are overweight may have a higher risk of injury and should be aware of this and be extra careful.

People who weigh more usually tend to have a more difficult time climbing than those who weight less. This is because they need to hold much of their weight on their hands and fingers, which can be very difficult if their fingers are not strong enough to hold this weight and to perform the moves needed for climbing.

Though weight can make climbing more difficult, it doesn't mean you have to be super skinny. There are many great climbers that are on the heavier side, it just means that your fingers and muscles will have to be very strong to be able to pull your weight.

This is all true not just for those who have a high body fat percentage, it is also true for those with a high level of muscle mass. Bodybuilders, for example, may have a difficult time climbing since they will have to pull their whole weight on the wall, which, depending on the size of the bodybuilder, can be a lot.
