Climbing

Facts, tips and ideas about Climbing — and how to find people for it.

Did you know?

  • Climbing is as much head as body — every route is a problem you solve together from the ground up.

  • In 1986, Reinhold Messner became the first to have climbed all fourteen eight-thousanders — all without bottled oxygen, which until then was considered impossible.

Tip

  • Legs are stronger than arms — don't pull yourself up, stand yourself up. Elbows stay loose, feet look for the footholds.

Inspiration

  • Every wall looks impossible from below. From the top it looks like a great story.

Break the ice

  • “Which move here last really got to you?”

  • “Which move surprised you most recently — for better or worse?”
