First visit to the climbing wall - how to prepare?

The first time on a climbing wall - many remember this moment as one of the best and, at the same time, the worst in their entire hobby career. The best thing, above all, because it was the moment of starting an amazing adventure, finding a sport that gives joy and a place where we can fulfill ourselves. The worst, because the first visit is stressful, nervous, a lot of doubts and understatements. We are concerned that we do not have a professional climbing clothingthat our experience is nil, that it is high, that others are looking, and so on and so on. Most of the restraints that make us nervous are in our heads, so the only advice we can do against shame or shyness is to act! However, some of these doubts are very right and in today's post we will try to dispel them once and for all, so that they do not tire the next generations starting their adventure with this beautiful sport.

Appropriate clothing for the climbing wall

Of course, we wrote more than once on our blog that there is nothing worse than a wrongly chosen thread climbing clothingboth climbing t shirt, how and climbing shorts. Of course, our advice has not lost its relevance, but the first visits and first sports approaches can be made in a PE shirt, tracksuits or leggings. First, it's about feeling, or actually a few different senses. The first - a sense of sport. Before we buy the equipment, it is worth making sure that we will use it, because we liked the climb so much that we want to continue it.

What equipment do you need for a climbing wall

Second - the sense of the equipment. The moment we feel the shortcomings of our amateur climbing equipment (something is pressing here, there is scratching, I cannot lift my legs through these pants, and through the T-shirt of my hands), it is a sign that we have made some small, because small, but our own needs climbing and we already know what we will more or less expect from professionals pants on climbing wall and t climbing shiru. When it comes to shoes, sneakers are also a good choice for the first few times.

Adequate preparation for climbing

This advice is very trivial, but it is so obvious that most people do not follow it, ignore it, or reject it. You should realize that climbing is a fully-fledged sport in which muscle work will be indispensable. So we recommend a short but full warm-up before entering to be able to take full advantage of our legs and arms. However, after descending, it is good to carry out a stretching session, thanks to which we will avoid soreness. We will also develop a good practice that will do much more good than harm.
