Help with rock climbing technique?
Hey, i've been wall climbing for 1 and a half years but then for a few m onths I switched over to just bouldering exclusivley. now i find that when i go back to the wall i have pretty much no grace at all anymore. can you guys give me some tips on how to gain back gracefulness on the wall and with bouldering?
Thanks:)
just bouldering is pretty useless ... most of the time its just brute strength and no technique .... if you were good before just go to the real walls more often and you will porbly get it back

Would anyone here be willing to answer a bunch of my rock climbing questions via email?
I'm trying to get into climbing and I need someone who checks their email at least once a day to email back/forth with me and answer some of my climbing questions.
Someone who knows a lot about climbing, could share climbing experiences, knows a lot about technique, and exercises related to climbing, and who could motivate me.
Anyone interested?!
I'm a 17 year old girl.
ask them here I check here 2 times a day

How do you tear a deck of playing cards in half?
I have pretty good hand strength from rock climbing and using hand grippers. But is there a certain technique that is the best or easiest?
I am not too sure, but i think it has to do with physics, try pushing in on the cards, bending them, then try and rip and pull on them at the same time, i know it will work with a phone book

Rock wall climbing (Red River NM)?
Has anybody ever been to Red River New Mexico and climbed the expert rock wall that you can win $100 if you make it to the top in under 3 minutes?
Or if anyone has ever climbed a difficult rock wall any pointers?
The guy at the place said there was a technique that once you figure it out ou can go up in a minute. Anyone have a clue?
There is no one "trick" that will solve all rock climbing problems - it is always a combination of the following:
- Forearm / grip strength
- Footwork
- Climbing technique (backstep, mantle, stem, heel hook, etc)
If there is one "trick" or technique that will solve this particular route, you will still need the others in order to get to the top. And if the difficulty is above a particular climbers ability, he isn't going to get through the rest of the route even if he knows the "trick".
Good Luck

Rock Climbing Technique
Want to get into rock climbing, how should I do this?
I plant to take a course but first I would like to learn more about climbing techniques and equipment so I don't feel so stupid when I actually take the course. I know they teach that in the course but I would rather prepare myself and get my money worth.
Anyone know any good resources to read and learn from?
Read "Mountaineering: Freedom of the Hills". It is the mountaineering bible and contains everything from basic camping and backpacking, to rope skills and knots, to rock climbing, ice climbing, glacier travel, and mountaineering expeditions. It is written very well and so that beginners can read it and learn the basics and continue to use it as they advance. I strongly recommend it.

Intermediate Rock Climbing : How to Climb Overhanging Rock
A Look at Some of the Rock Climbing Techniques Used
Understanding the basic principles rock climbing is one of the good rock climbing techniques. To improve climbing performance one way is to learn and practice good climbing technique. These are the techniques of good rock climbing.
Warming Up and Stretching should be done before starting the climbing. Ligaments and Tight muscles can get fatigued.
The starting point for developing a good rock climbing techniques begins with the sense of balance, and how to control the balance on the wall. The center of balance is always centered on body mass. Gravity must be centered in the left right as well as forward backward directions. A good sense of balance enables you to move smoothly.
Get in the habit of previewing and learning to interpret the route before you climb it. Developing knowledge in this skill will help you get in the right position to make moves at the crux. Always balancing oneself perfectly is the first aspect that is given the prime importance. Grip is often the first to let go, so save forearm strength as much as possible.
A finely developed sense of balance will help the climber make difficult static and dynamic moves.
By keeping the body close to the wall the climber maintains his center of balance over his center of mass to relieve pressure on his grip.
The climbers use their legs to hold the weight, not their arms. Their legs are much stronger and will carry them further.
Balancing requires the use of arms. Hence they cannot be used for holding or shifting weight. When doing moves and sequences that require a great deal of upper body strength, they move quickly through the sequence.
Using momentum to peak at the dead point, which is the point at which they grip the hold, does developing the technique of dynamic movement through the rough rock.
Combining both static and dynamic elements of the rock climbing techniques will determine the speed of climbing. Climbers who have mastered this move smoothly and effortlessly.
Learning right rock climbing techniques along with proper training for muscle strengthening is advantageous to any rock climber.
Muscles will be actively working longer with short rests. Develop knowledge in a skill at finding time and space to rest during your climb. This increases your endurance level to a great extent.
If the climber pushes himself to the maximum of his abilities he might fall. Taking a fall correctly is one of the most important techniques to learn does it safely and is very vital to ensure the safety.
Finally, to watch and learn from other good climbers is another of the many rock climbing techniques.
Some climbers are slow and deliberate and have a stationary technique. Some climb faster using the dynamic climbing technique.
Climbing moves that are dynamic and require a lot of upper body strength, grip and arm strength should be done quickly without wasting time and much energy.
The best way to learn and improve rock-climbing techniques is to observe the techniques that are used by good climbers and one should also follow it closely and implement it to become a good climber.
