There is no doubt that rock climbing is an extreme sport. It is risky but not dangerous. People engaged in rock climbing need to face up to the risks of rock climbing and understand the types of rock climbing, and then "step by step" is a smart decision. As a rock climber, no matter what age, as long as you still have the courage to face the challenge, you can try rock climbing to challenge yourself and blend in with nature by climbing!
Indoor rock climbing has been loved by people since it appeared, because its biggest advantage is "predictability of danger and controllability of difficulty". The route and difficulty index of indoor rock climbing can be artificially controlled by changing the position of rock points. If you climb rocks in the wild, you need to consider the weather, the risk of falling rocks and the difficulty of routes in your area. And indoors, these are all controllable factors, so you don't have to worry about sudden bad weather and falling rocks. There are complete rock climbing equipment and safety guarantee in the rock hall. As long as the regulations are followed, personal safety can be ensured. Don't worry that your level is too low to try climbing.
With the steady development of rock climbing today, you can find more than one indoor rock climbing center in major cities all over the country. There is no need for beginners with zero foundation to worry at all, because there are professional climbing courses that can systematically improve our climbing knowledge and climbing ability!
Sports climbing refers to the route where the protection points have been laid with bolts in advance, whether in the process of climbing natural rock wall or artificial rock field. The distance between these anchors is generally uniform, which will not allow climbers to fall too long when they fall off. Sports climbing basically does not need to place its own protection points like traditional climbing. Sports climbing routes that protect the safety of the fulcrum will have much less doubts about safety, and climbers can safely concentrate on the climbing itself. Sports rock climbing has turned rock climbing that was originally carried out outdoors into indoor sports. Less equipment requirements and higher safety factor make it the first step for most people to learn rock climbing.
The route of sports climbing includes outdoor and indoor, which should be the most common climbing method for us climbers. Whether it's in the rock climbing gym after work every day or three or five friends going to the wild rock field on weekends and holidays, competing with these stones will make you have endless fun!
at first, bouldering meant climbing independent big rocks, and now it also includes short rock surface routes. The height of bouldering is usually not high, so it doesn't need climbing rope for protection, but a crush pad is laid on the ground to reduce the impact of falling. In the past, bouldering was just a kind of training for climbers, but today it has become a unique way of climbing. If you want to be strong! Bouldering is your best choice, because it is shorter than traditional climbing and sports climbing, so the requirements for strength and explosiveness are much higher than endurance!
Today, with convenient transportation, we have developed more and more bouldering routes. They are all over the country. I believe that soon after you start climbing, your weekend will be occupied by these big stones (of course you are willing)!
traditional climbers need to find protection fulcrums in crevices and caves on their own route while climbing, and then remove these fulcrums from the rock wall after climbing.
Traditional climbing is a kind of climbing form that pays equal attention to protection and climbing. It has the philosophy of "protecting the natural form of rock wall while exploring the unknown" and has great adventurous spirit, so it also needs more rich climbing experience, personal ability and a cool head!
Since 211, three "Traditional Rock Climbing Exchange Conferences" have been held in China, which are dedicated to promoting the development and technical upgrading of traditional rock climbing in China and stimulating the enthusiasm of traditional rock climbing. Traditional climbing has gradually entered the sight of more ordinary players. At the same time, Laojun Mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan Province has also developed many traditional climbing routes through everyone's efforts, waiting for us to admire its style!
A crack is a crack in a rock wall. Many rock climbing routes basically follow a crack or connect several cracks. There is no so-called rock point to grasp the crack intuitively, but the body part needs to be inserted into the rock crack, and the body is stuck by the rotation force, friction force and muscle confrontation, and then the force is upward.
according to the size of cracks, rock climbing generally divides cracks into hand crack, fist crack and finger crack and off-width crack. Personally, I think learning to climb the crack line is like learning to swim. At first, I always can't find the feeling and always fall out of the crack, but once I practice hard, I can't get rid of this skill.
Crack climbing is not far away from us. Laojun Mountain in Yunnan is a paradise for traditional climbing and crack climbing!
the word "free solo" means the person with the best skills and the greatest courage in the rock climbing group! It is also a kind of rock climbing. There is no rope, protective equipment and other safety measures in this climbing way. Only the climber faces the line alone in the climbing process, and failure is death.
those masters of free solo in the history of rock climbing, I believe that they can not only do free solo on the rock wall, but also do something freely and without restraint in life. Even if they encounter any difficulties, they will overcome their fears and strive to advance in their struggle!
rock climbing is a high-level embodiment of climbing. Climbing on technical rock terrain all day, sometimes even for many days; In the process of climbing, climbers must face and deal with various physical and psychological challenges, set up protection stations and choose camping sites, and finally complete the route and climb to the top of the rock. The whole process of climbing the big rock wall is not only an unforgettable experience, but also the unique mental state of the climber is more fascinating. Incredibly, it is impossible to describe the unique feeling and exploration essence brought by climbing on the big rock wall on paper or in other ways. Conservatively speaking, the passion nurtured behind climbing on the big rock wall can fascinate and immerse climbers more than the famous mountaineering saying "The mountain is there".
Instrumental climbing refers to a climbing method in which climbers use rope ladders and all kinds of equipment to pass through difficult passages when they can't climb freely. According to the different equipment used, it can be divided into two ways: Aid and CleaningAid, abbreviated as A and C. The biggest difference between the two methods lies in the use of hammers. The potential meaning of the former is that climbers have the choice to chisel their eyes when there is nothing to do or when they are at their wits' end. The latter is also called HammerlessAid. The direct result of not using a hammer is that it will not cause permanent damage to the rock wall, and at the same time, it will test the climber's more exquisite equipment use skills, and of course, the climbing morality will naturally win a great victory!
