Introduction
Some motivation to begin with
If you never tried bouldering before, I highly recommend to do so. It is a fun sport allowing you to get in a good physical shape while solving creative problems. In case you are living somewhere in western or central Europe, there is probably a gym in the nearest big city. Go and check it out!
If you want to start climbing, I recommend you to absolve an introduction course in order to learn the basics: You will learn how to belay, tie a knot & what equipment you will need. In addition, you will also gather some confidence for your first climb with a rope.
About the author
I go climbing and bouldering both in the gym and outdoors since 2015. In the past few years I gained some experience in this field:
- I worked as a route-setter as a part time job, because I enjoyed the creativity of this task.
- I gave beginner & intermediate bouldering courses both for individuals and groups in order to pass on my knowledge.
- I did several outdoor trips, including visiting well-known climbing destinations such as Arco & Fontainebleau.
Conscious decision-making
Conscious decision-making is not only important in everyday life, it is also crucial in climbing.
- Physical awareness is crucial in the progress of reaching your training goals quickly and without injury. Being aware of what, when, and how you work out or eat, plays here a central role.
- Climbing, however, is not only about being in a good physical shape. An essential part of climbing is the time spent in nature. The quality of which partially depends on how well you choose the destination and time of your trip and how you get to the desired location.
- Meanwhile, your environmental awareness, including your purchasing decisions, can affect both your next trip and your long-term physical health.
