First of all, we want to do some basic introduction to the rock climbing movement, especially for people who have just come into contact with rock climbing. I hope that these articles can give everyone a start and even get some inspiration.
Free climbing is the basis of all climbing movements. It can be broadly defined as: relying on a climber's own efforts, on the available terrain, without ensuring ropes, nuts, expansion anchors, pitons, etc. These are designed for fear of falling. Equipment, only with hands and feet to climb. The fissures, caverns, and hanging rocks on the rock wall combine to create infinite changes.
Diversified changes bring unprecedented challenges to climbing and climbing. Every route on the rock is an exercise in psychological and physiological problem solving. Each climb is different from the past. So to find out what is in operation, what kind of climb to do, and for whom to design the route is to make this climb. Dancing keeps the process fresh and interesting.
However, rock climbing is not an enjoyable one. There are some basic principles that can be provided to all climbers. First, smooth hands and feet can make your movement smooth. Second, balance, sensitivity, and softness are better weapons against gravity than violence. Third, endurance has always been better than hard violence. Important; Fourth, the continuation of strength depends on you putting weight on your feet, much better than pulling your arms up. The best situation is to complete the climb with minimal effort. Fifth, finally, staying relaxed is a major contributor to effort. Many of the climbs are intuitive, and movement is natural to the relaxation of mind.
However, rock climbing still requires some skills, and you still need to study and practice before you can use them.
On this side, we first introduce some basic movements for beginners, including warm-up and bouldering.
First, warm-up:
Before warming up, it is very important to warm up this movement. Omitting this step is very easy to hurt. For example, you have a trainer in the hallway of your home. Every time you cross the hallway, you have a habit of pulling a few horizontal bars. You may have strained your muscles or tendons because you did not warm up. It is not possible to calculate how many warm-up activities you need to improve your climbing performance, but warm-up can indeed reduce the risk of pulling or even pulling your muscles, so don’t ignore it. It is a must-do before climbing or training. At present, it is still controversial as to how to warm up, but in any case, finding the one you feel most comfortable with is our suggestion. The best way to warm up is to jog for 10-15 minutes. There may not be a runway near the rock wall, but you can run in place with your knees up as much as possible, plus jumps and kicks. The first line moves lively for thirty minutes, especially if you have equipment to climb.

Another big problem is that when climbing, it always climbs and stops. Racking is time consuming and easy to get cold; ensuring that a pioneer climber will use more mental energy than physiology, so it may be easier to get cold when you are climbing. Therefore, before you climb, you must do anything that can maintain muscle temperature.
Second, bouldering:
Bouldering is a climbing activity that requires no guarantees and is more basic. Finding a big rock or climbing over a mini rock wall is always good for bouldering, but be careful to avoid hurting the ankle too, so if you have a partner behind you, make sure you are better. Anyway, as long as you have a pair of rock shoes, you can try bouldering. Try to find a large rock with large cracks, different types of hand points, rock sheds, and caves. These are the terrain you will encounter when you climb a normal route. It is said that the experience learned by the 100-mile pioneer and the one-hour bouldering movement is the same.
So what can we learn from bouldering? First of all, the sense of balance is the most important element in rock climbing techniques, and bouldering can enhance the sense of balance. The best training method is to pay attention to your feet when climbing rocks. Bold movement is also trying to try, success will build on your confidence.

In addition, bouldering can also train your basic skills and teach you to choose the best hand and foot. You will begin to notice the difference in power between your hands and feet; the more you use your feet, the less likely your muscles will be. So, when you are bouldering, practice the placement of the feet, such as stepping on the side or stepping on the side, depending on the changes in the foot points. Note that tilting the body outwards can increase the friction between the feet and the rock surface. Generally, the mistake that beginners often make is that the body cannot keep vertical, but it is too close to the rock surface, so that the center of gravity is wrong, and the hand wastes a lot of power.

The last point to mention is that endurance allows you to maintain your strength to complete the course. It is important for the rock climber's physical attributes. Unfortunately, in bouldering, because of its low height, it is easily forgotten without training. Therefore, when we bouldering, we can climb, climb or cross, and do not rest for several consecutive times to achieve endurance training.
