Training

The walls are currently back open, current guidelines are in place and climbers can finally get back to pulling on plastic. It’s been a while since we have been able to climb inside and you may or may not have kept up training at home. If you have been to a climbing wall again, you may have experienced some of the following after your session, depending on how much training you have kept up over lockdown. If you can relate to the following symptoms of returning to climbing, here is how you can help fix them! Attached below is also a video of the methods discussed.

Hopefully I can pass some of this on to you so you can avoid some of the mistakes I made when I was first starting out.
