Increase your strength for rock climbing

Rock Climbing requires both strength and technique. If you do not have a minimum level of strength already, or you are not maintaining the strength that you do have, it may be important to do strengthening exercises such as campus board, bouldering and dead-hangs.

Remember, strength is also mental, do some intense visualization on the boulders/routes you'll be climbing before you even try. Do your best to imagine every little detail of how each hold will feel, how your body will be positioned, what your body will feel like in it's different parts on the different moves, move quickly and commit to difficult moves.
