Core training for climbers - why is it essential and how do we train these specific muscles?

In part 2 of our series on ENDURANCE, we’ll dive into how to optimise your nutrition and develop an easy guide to help improve your climbing endurance at the crag. There are multiple considerations when it comes to selecting climbing snacks. Namely; nutritional value, size and palatability.

Your technique might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about endurance- If you’re able to climb efficiently and rely less on brute strength to get you up the wall, you’re going to be able to last longer and repeat more routes.

What does it mean to be “properly fuelled”? and what do we need to consider from a nutritional perspective? Today, I’ll explain the science behind food suggestions and provide both nutritious and delicious food examples to enhance your bouldering game.

Nerves travel from your brain, down your spinal cord, through your arms and legs right down to your fingers and toes. We will run through some exercises to help with nerve mobility and ensure your climbing is not plagued by injury.

So you bought a Beastmaker. Or was it a Metolius board? Tension? Concept Climbing. Maybe it was So iLL… or Awesome Woodys… or maybe it was a bed slat nailed above a door. Now what do you do with your hangboard?
