Tactical

Climb harder is all about efficiency and saving energy, as such finding and using a hands-off rest or a little respite whilst on a route is a key tactic.

The ability to plan both prior to leaving the ground and whilst climbing is the key to reading routes, although with more experience comes more options.

Warming up will get the heart, lungs, muscles, joints and tendons ready for action, If you don’t warm up you risk getting flash pumped or injured.
