Increase Your Climbing Ability

Climbing is one of the most effective forms of exercise available to us. It allows us to tone every single muscle in our bodies whilst simultaneously increasing our cardio-vascular fitness immensely.

Improving climbing ability is a lot to do with practice. However, there are certain things that we can do to give ourselves a helping hand. Whilst choosing the best climbing equipment will be vital, no matter how advanced you are, there are other items that can vastly improve what we can achieve.

One such addition is Vibram trainers. Whilst traditionally used as an aid for running, allowing joggers to land more effectively and in turn protect joints and improve capability, they are also simply extremely good at improving dexterity. Whilst ordinary climbing boots are great, Vibram barefoot running shoes allow you to protect your feet, keep them warm and, at the same time, allow you to have full use of every single toe.

Not only will it allow the wearer to get their feet into crevices more effectively, but it will also allow them to move more freely in general, making every aspect of climbing easier, less strenuous and more enjoyable.

It can also be beneficial to use indoor climbing walls. Not only will these allow you to try climbs in a more controlled environment and in turn allow you to approach problems in new ways, it will also simply help you to climb more regularly and in turn increase your strength and stamina.

Be sure that you are fully hydrated every time you climb. Not only this, but try to eat high energy foods to help give you the boost you need to get to the top of any summit. Many people fail on climbs simply due to them running out of steam and the right supplements are likely to be all that it takes to help you see every single climb through to the end.
