Jan 4, 2012 - When bouldering is it advisable to perhaps get some fingerless gloves to save at least your palms getting worn down, or does this impede your grip?

GiveMeLongshot Says:

Jan 4, 2012 - @awfullyfabulous You can do that, but you will lose much of your grip. Its better to just use some sportstape

Jan 4, 2012 - @olecow3 I was told land on your feet and allow your body to gently roll onto your back if the fall calls for it. Perhaps that's what he meant? :)

Jan 13, 2012 - You are very strong. I am just getting into bouldering/rock climbing myself but I seem to have a lot of difficulty progressing because I get fatigued in my forearm or my fingers stiffen up. Any advice? Should I go to the gym and lift dumb bells to condition my body? 

AME402972 Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - @blkxtangledxhrt Don't forget to take breaks while you are rock climbing... if you get tired, just sit and wait for a few minutes, get a drink of water :) And at least sometime during your rock climbing time, do some stretches on your arms and fingers and legs, once before, once in the middle, and one at the very end, but don't do it too much to where you are hurting and it's straining. This should help you not to have stiff fingers and you will be more pumped!

Jan 16, 2012 - @blkxtangledxhrt How long have you been bouldering/rock climbing (top roping I'm guessing) for? :)

coralnerd Says:

Jan 22, 2012 - jea! rock climbing is cool i do it for 2 years now and i never go to stop :)

blkxtangledxhrt Says:

Jan 24, 2012 - @AME402972 Thank you for the helpful advise! I will definitely do more stretching in between climbs. I am one hundred percent beginner to this sport. I have been a member to my local rock climbing gym for about three weeks now. Climbers at the gym are nice and don't mind if I ask for help. I am taking baby steps. Lets see how far I progress!

Jan 26, 2012 - That's a really cool thing to do

Feb 6, 2012 - good climbing. kinda annoying video though.

ThisIsTheDr Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - @olecow3 I think what he meant was to land feet first and roll onto your back. This is a common technique used my freerunners to lessen impact of a fall by slowing more gradually and increasing surface area.

LSTorgi Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - @olecow3 pretty sure he was joking....seeing that you pretty much repeated the same thing as nditanlady (the top comment)...is pretty sad. good job. you know something about fallling from 15 feet. now learn something new to man(/woman) kind. scrub.

LSTorgi Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - @LSTorgi she *** she ;)
