Rock climbing is a common fitness exercise. So do you know what skills rock climbing has for people who like rock climbing?

Manipulation: The fundamental purpose of freehand rock climbing is to make the body move upward and close to the rock wall. There are many fulcrum shapes 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 grasp different fulcrums and how to exert their strength. According to the position and direction of the protrusion (or depression) on the fulcrum, there are methods such as digging, pinching, pulling, grasping, holding and pushing. But don't stick to this, there are many ways to grasp the same fulcrum.

When grasping the fulcrum, especially when exerting force horizontally, the arm position should be low, and the downward pull will increase the horizontal friction; To make full use of the thumb, try to put the thumb on the fulcrum. For the fulcrum of the common horizontal shallow groove, you can twist your thumb, buckle one finger belly into the flat groove, or cross the back of your index finger and middle finger to increase your strength.

Finger strength is very important in rock climbing, which can usually be practiced by means of finger lying support, pull-ups, finger hanging pull-ups and lifting heavy objects. At present, some foreign experts have been able to reach the strength level of single-guide aerobics. When climbing a long route, you can choose an easy position and take turns to rest with your hands.

The rest area should be chosen where there is no elevation angle or the elevation angle is small, and there is a big fulcrum on the hand. When resting, stand your feet firmly on the fulcrum, straighten your arms (it is difficult to rest when bending over), and lean back, but your waist must be pushed forward to make your lower body cling to the rock wall, and press your weight on your feet to reduce the burden on your arms. Move your fingers and shake your hands to relax, and rub some magnesium powder to avoid slipping.

Footwork: Rock climbing generally wears special climbing shoes. The soles of these shoes are hard rubber, the forefoot is slightly thick, the shoe body is tough leather, the toe is pointed, and the sole friction is large. Wearing this kind of shoes, stepping on a fulcrum less than one centimeter wide can firmly support the whole body weight. When buying this kind of shoes, everyone must pay attention to it, and don't buy them too big. The tighter the shoes, the more stable the stress.

There are only four places where one foot can touch the fulcrum: the toe of the shoe; Inner edge of toe (big toe); The outer toe (toes of four toes) and the toe of the heel (mainly used to hang the foot when turning over the eaves), and you can only step into the width of one finger, not too much, for example, put the whole sole on it, in order to make the foot rotate and move left and right under load, change feet, turn and so on.

The correct way to change feet is to ensure stability and not increase the burden on hands. Take right foot for left foot as an example. First, put the left foot above the right foot, and the right foot rotates counterclockwise (looking down) around the right foot on the fulcrum, with the left side of the fulcrum empty and the weight still on the right foot; Cut in the left foot from above, stand still, pull out the right foot, and transfer the weight to the left foot.

I'm used to it, just like putting oil on my feet. The right foot slides out from the fulcrum and the left foot slides in at the same time. The weight is always borne by the feet, and the hand is only used to adjust the balance. In addition to supporting weight, feet are often used to keep balance during climbing. Your foot doesn't have to step on the fulcrum all the time. Sometimes you have to hang one leg to adjust the position of your body's center of gravity, so that the weight can be stably transferred to the other foot. ;
