“9 out of 10 Climbers Make the Same Mistakes” – Book by Dave MacLeod
The Rock Climber’s Training Manual by Anderson
I don't have any books but I could offer a few rock-climbing tips:
>use chalk when you want to climb better and focus on technique
>bare hands for grip and muscle strength
>grip holds so loose that you think you're gonna fall (you won't)
>use all parts of body to climb (I hook holds with elbows and knees to let my hands rest
>don't stress particular routes too much, they were designed by one person who probably doesn't match up at all to your size and skill
>mix up top roping and bouldering
>don't spend too much time "thinking out" your routes: often you will start to climb and realize what you wanted to do is entirely impossible
>even a ten lb weight difference makes an incredible alteration to climbing ability.
>core and legs are most important in many climbing routes
>practice climbing without hands in easy routes
I'm a beginner but this is some of what I have picked up over the years
>Rock climbing

Nice but how do you climb without hands??? Don't you mean without feet?

100% gains by taking your shirt off... another 100% by wearing a fucking beanie!

Nope, without hands. Foot placement and technique is huge when it comes to not burning your forearms out.

Don't forget to wear long pants and roll them up exactly 4 inches above the ankle
>tfw started lead climbing
>tfw went from finishing 5.11s to failing 5.8s

Watch women boulder, they've not got the strength for the most part but their technique is almost always better because of this. Also hot.
Trying this out is one of the things I plan on doing when I stop being a fat peice of shit. Looks really fun.

ever wondered how would it be to get a handjob from one of these chicks? The calloused, thick skinned fingers wrapped around your cock, like a vice, grasping a hotdog.
