In life, work and study, we often come into contact with skills. The following is the editor's carefully compiled skills to master rock climbing, I hope it can help everyone.
Part 1
Tenacious perseverance can conquer every mountain. Rock climbing perseverance is important, and rock climbing skills are also indispensable. Rock climbing is an extremely challenging outdoor activity. Although there are generally protective measures, rock climbing is very skillful. Only by mastering rock climbing skills can you climb to the top.
Although rock climbing started late in my country, in just over a decade, rock climbing has been deeply loved by young people. Whether in the wild or in the city, rock climbing has become an extreme sport for young people to challenge themselves.
Like other sports, rock climbing not only requires mastering various skills, but also requires arduous special physical training, and especially requires a good psychological quality of calmness and composure.
First, let's talk about the characteristics of the force used in rock climbing, because understanding the characteristics of various forces will help us have a clear idea when training and climbing.
In the process of rock climbing, the most basic technique is the fulcrum fixed climbing method. As far as this basic technique is concerned, combined with the different fulcrum conditions on the rock wall, rock climbing skills can be roughly divided into:
Pull: Grab the firm fulcrum in the front and upper part, and pull up with force.
Support: Use steps, gaps or other terrains to move the body up or left and right with the palm and forearm.
Push A: Use the side, the rock or object below to move the body with the power of the arm.
Lean: Use the cracks that can accommodate the body, lean against one side of the rock with the back, and use the limbs to support the opposite rock to move the body up.
Swell: Put your hand into the gap, use the bent palm or fist to grab the gap in the rock and move the body.
Push B: Use the inner side of the forefoot or the toes to support the body to reduce the burden on the upper limbs.
Cross: Use your own flexibility to avoid difficult points and seek favorable support points.
Hang: Use the toes or heels to hang on the rock to maintain the body balance and move the body.
Step: Use the front of the foot to step on a larger fulcrum to reduce the burden on the upper limbs and move the body.
Rock climbing skills mainly lie in hand techniques and foot techniques. The following is a detailed description of the requirements of rock climbing techniques and foot techniques.
Rock climbing techniques:
The fundamental purpose of using hands in climbing is to move the body upward and close to the rock wall. There are many shapes of fulcrums on the rock wall, and there are dozens of common ones. Climbers should be familiar with the shapes of these fulcrums, and know where to hold the hands for different fulcrums and how to apply force.
According to the position and direction of the protrusion (depression) on the fulcrum, there are methods such as picking, pinching, pulling, grasping, holding, and pushing. But don't be rigid. There are many ways to grasp the same fulcrum. For example, there is a fulcrum with a small platform on it. Generally, you put your fingers on it and pull it down vertically. But in order to keep your body close to the rock wall, you can completely pinch it and pull it horizontally.
For example, when you need to grasp the same fulcrum with two hands, the front hand can give up the best grip and give it to the back hand to avoid the trouble of changing hands. When grasping the fulcrum, especially when exerting force horizontally, the receiving arm should be at the bottom, and the horizontal friction should be increased by the downward pulling force; you should make full use of the strength of the thumb and try to put the thumb on the fulcrum. For the common horizontal shallow groove fulcrum, you can twist the thumb and buckle one side of the fingertip into the flat groove, or put it horizontally on the back of the index finger and middle finger, which can increase a lot of strength.
The strength of the fingers is very important in climbing. You can usually practice with finger push-ups, pull-ups, finger hanging pull-ups, lifting and pinching heavy objects, etc. Now some masters abroad have reached the strength level of single-finger pull-ups. When climbing a long route, you can choose an easy section to rest with both hands alternately. The resting section should be chosen with no elevation angle or a small elevation angle, and there should be a large fulcrum on the hands. When resting, step on the fulcrum with both feet firmly, straighten the arms (it is difficult to rest when bent), lean back with the upper body, but the waist must be pushed forward, so that the lower body is close to the rock wall, and the weight is pressed on the feet to reduce the burden on the arms. Move the fingers and shake the hands to relax, and apply some magnesium powder to avoid slipping.
