Training for finger strength

Hangboard workouts 2x per week. Start with large holds. Never crimp on a hangboard. Injury prevention first!

My experience: it depends on your specific situation but generally this is good advice.

Best climbing shoes for beginners
Mar 14, 2026 8:24 pm
La Sportiva Tarantulas or Evolv Defy. Snug but not painful. Avoid aggressive downturned shoes until you advance.

Beginner climbing tips
Jan 25, 2026 2:24 pm
Climb with your feet, not your arms. Straight arms save energy. Look for footholds before reaching for handholds.

My neighbor told me the same thing last week. Must be legit.

Bouldering vs rope climbing
Dec 2, 2025 4:24 pm
Bouldering: shorter, more powerful problems. Rope: longer endurance routes. Both are fun. Which do you prefer?

I had the opposite experience actually. For me it was completely different.
