I went climbing today with my friend Mike. I only did bouldering today and my hands are quite sore... I was mostly trying out the over hangs and slant walls which takes way more upper body strenght and hand grip then I am used to.
I realized that I really need to learn how to balance my body weight when in different stances, such as leaning to one side, crouching... etc. It was a good night, but I realized how much I need to work on my upper body strength if I want to do some outdoor climbing in the spring or summer. Some of the guys at the gym who were bouldering with us where kind enough to dispense some advice on some good exercises to increase strength in legs and arms. I guess that will be my interm project between climbs.... now to just get some motivation as it is not as fun (nor does it have the adrenaline rush) as climbing...
Were the guys giving you advice hot and half naked?
