1. Start From Core:
Engage your abdominal muscles first; climbing power originates from your center, not your
limbs.
2. Plan Your Path:
Study the wall before beginning; visualize your route and identify rest points before your
first hold.
3. Use Your Legs:
Conserve energy by pushing with stronger leg muscles rather than pulling with arms
alone.
4. Practice Precision:
Place feet deliberately on holds; quiet, precise footwork trumps forceful movements.
5. Breathe Rhythmically:
Maintain conscious breathing patterns to optimize oxygen flow during challenging sequences.
● Always double-check harness connections and safety equipment
● Communicate clearly with your belayer or staff member
● Warm up properly with light stretching before attempting difficult routes
● Stay hydrated before and during your climbing session
● Respect other climbers' space and climbing paths
● Never skip the mandatory safety briefing regardless of experience level
● Don't climb beyond your current skill level without proper supervision
● Avoid distracting others during their climbs with loud conversation
● Never remove safety equipment while on the wall
● Don't use chalk excessively or leave bags open around climbing areas
