Climbing Gloves With Spikes?
im looking for gloves that have little tiny spikes or prick type things that would be able to easily stick into a tree and hold something of good weight like a person. does anybody know what these gloves are called and where i might be able to find some to buy or a site that can tell me how to make them? thank you in advance!!
Yup, Beachbum is right -- that doesn't exist. It would not work anyway (and think of the damage you would cause if you forgot and tried to scratch your nose.)
Why don't you resign yourself to the fact that there is no easy magical gadget that enables a human to climb like an ape without some physical effort. People in tropical regions are strong and experienced enough to climb trees with their bare hands and feet to harvest coconuts and bananas. With practice, you could do that too.

Indoor Rock Climbing Techniques : How to Fall when the Lead in Indoor Rock Climbing
Nothing like rock climbing for a different take on life
It can be so exciting, riveting even – clinging to a rock face, watching your footing and carefully choosing where to hang on, where to reach for next and with just some rope to save you should you make a wrong move. Rock climbing is something that once you get into it you can't help but continually bigger and bigger goals for yourself. Alteus et latius: higher and wider.
What to do and where to go if you've never done any rock climbing before? As with most dangerous things in life: ask the experts, get the right training and gear up properly, then take things gradually as you get fitter and stronger, ready for the next challenge. And one of the best places in South Africa to get a good introduction to rock climbing is CityRock, the Indoor Climbing Gym in Observatory, Cape Town: large climbing wall, huge bouldering cave, big top rope and lead climbing area, a rock climbing gear shop second to none.
For the uninitiated, bouldering is a kind of rock climbing but done just three or four metres above the ground. It's about accomplishing intricate manoeuvres on and around big boulders – you don't use any ropes but there are thick mats below to help lessen the blow should you fall! Some find indoor climbing and bouldering to be fantastic in themselves. Others regard it as a means to work on your strength and technique in preparation for your next rock climbing expedition who knows where.
The basic courses one can take cover the use of harnesses, climbing shoes, ropes and knots, karabiners (mountaineering clips), safety procedures as well as belay devices and techniques – belaying being the process of managing the safety ropes for your rock climbing partner. Then there are lead courses, technique courses and, should you wish, personalised courses and training tailored to suit your specific requirements.
Many a rock climbing convert wants to get into the great outdoors as soon as possible, and outfits like Roc 'n Rope Adventures in Waterval Boven offer one of the ideal ways and places to get started – nothing like the Alps or Everest, but sufficiently challenging and fun while taking in some beautiful places and historical sites in the Mpumalanga Highlands. Over 700 routes with various difficulty ratings to choose from in this, one of South Africa's premier rock climbing destinations.
Outsidedge Adventures, based at Hartbeespoort Dam and specialising in outdoor adventure activities in the Gauteng and North West provinces, is another option for those both new to and experienced in rock climbing. And whenever one talks about rocks and climbing the conversation will inevitably turn to somewhere or other in the vicinity of Montagu.
Based at Montagu's Aasvoëlkrans B&B, say, you could explore what some refer to as the rock climbing capital of South Africa – sweating and toiling under the heat of the sun, discovering muscles you didn't know you had, enjoying the challenges of the various rock faces and looking forward to returning to your oasis in the valley at the end of it all.

Basic Rock Climbing Techniques
palm-muting technique?
I had a lesson with my guitar teacher on monday. He's having me do some pretty basic techniques but he noted that when I do my modes, as I take my fingers off the lower strings they ring out, creating a lot of background noise. He taught me that the index finger of the fret hand keeps the higher strings muted, which I can manage easily, and that you should move the palm of your hand up as you climb the strings to mute them. I really can't find a feel for how to do this. I only get him once every other week and I don't want to waste time by learning how to do this technique when I come back. If anybody has any suggestions, maybe videos or reading that will help me figure out how to do this, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Rock n' Roll!
There are a few ways to mute the ringing that occurs after your fingers are removed from the strings. As your Instructor said, the index finger of the fretting hand can usually mute the higher strings without a lot of effort or practice. Another technique is to lift the finger that is holding the fret slightly and pause (very briefly) before releasing the string completely. This will cause that finger to mute the string. With a palm mute there are really (at least) two techniques. The first is where the pinky side of your strumming/picking hand is resting light on the strings near the bridge. With this method each string will produce more of a "thump" sound than a full out ring. I prefer this more for quiet, staccato strumming. The second technique, and the one your instructor is most likely referring to, involves resting the same part of your hand (again the outside of your strumming/picking hand, i.e. the fleshy part under the pinky but more toward the side of your hand) immediately following a strum or pluck. This last technique is a little more difficult to pull off than the other methods and will take practice.
I recommend practicing with your hand resting on the strings the whole time. This will allow you to get a feel for the proper amount of pressure. You'll want to be able to hear the note distinctly without any buzzing or "chucking" (chucking is the sound the guitar makes when the strings are played with the notes completely muted). After you get a feel for the pressure involved, play the strings open and then rest that same part of your hand to get the full mute. Experiment with how quickly your hand rests on the strings (slow mute versus fast mute). After that, you'll want to increase speed a little. Just do down strokes (nothing fancy) and alternately let it ring and then mute, ring, mute, etc.
The feel on the hand isn't exactly natural, but with practice it can become second nature.

| | Mountaineers Books 100111 Alpine Climbing Techniques to Take You Higher $33.98 This intermediate level guide addresses tools skills and techniques used in alpine terrain including rock snow ice and glaciers at moderate altitude approximately 5000 meters (16 000 feet) and lower. The technical protection systems are covered of course. But 30 years of alpine climbing experience has convinced the authors that mastery and safety lie in the far more difficult task of knowing exactly which techniques to use where and when. Therefore they teach step by step decision making skills providing scenarios checklists and self posed questions to inform the decision process. Alpine Climbing assumes some prior knowledge primarily in rock climbing skills and techniques. Basic knots belaying rappelling building rock anchors leading placing rock protection and movement skills on rock: variations of these skills that are of particular value in the alpine environment are addressed in this book. Author: Mark Houston and Kathy Cosley. |
| | Traditional Lead Climbing $14.31 For intermediate climbers who already have experience with roped climbing, this guide explains how to lead a climb with gear. It is not intended for beginners. She first describes how traditional leading fits with roped rock climbing as a whole and the challenges involved, hardware and tools, transitioning from the gym to outdoors, and skill building in low-risk environments. Chapters that follow discuss advanced trad lead skills, such as multipitch techniques and self-rescue; knot and rope craft; and ratings, climbing etiquette, and impact and access issues. Advice from traditional leaders, b&w photos, and illustrations are incorporated. A working knowledge of basic climbing equipment and simple systems like belaying, top-roping, and leading is assumed. Techniques described mainly refer to roped free climbing on rock. Pesterfield, a freelance writer, is also a rock climbing and outdoor recreation instructor.
