Mastering the Basics of Climbing

As a beginner, learning the right techniques is crucial for your climbing success. Here are some essential techniques to focus on:

Footwork

Good footwork is the foundation of climbing. Practice placing your feet carefully and using the edges of your climbing shoes for better grip.

Body Positioning

Maintain a balanced body position to conserve energy. Keep your hips close to the wall and use your legs to push yourself up rather than relying solely on your arms.

“Climbing is about finding the right balance between strength and technique.”
