Advice for your first climb

 

Trim your toenails!

 

- Snug fitting shoes are ideal.  If your shoes are too loose, your feet will move in them while you climb, and you will have less control.  

 

Think of moving around like an ape

 

- the more your arms are extended and that you 'swing' from hold to hold, the less energy you'll use from your biceps.

   

Use your legs more than your arms (more powerful), keep your weight low (straight arms as much as possible to save energy) hips into the wall and do problems with a variety of grip types so your grip strength gets better ... (sloping pinches etc) 

 

Bouldering is like physical problem solving. Look where you're going ahead of time!
