I'm hoping to climb Leavenworth sat and sun. Would be great to have a partner. Please shoot me a pm if you would like to climb!

Recently I asked a trainer how to increase my forearm/grip strength and he told me the following: Goto the dumbbell rack at the gym. Start with 60 lb dumbbells, grab them and hold them at your side. Squeeze them tightly for 1 min. Go to the next weight, doing the same. Go till failure. I have yet to put this into practice, but logically it seems to make sense.

Thankyou both for the info, makes total sense!

I'm currently making a transition from sport climbing to trad climbing. There is one thing that I have been trying to figure out though. When placing active or passive pro, should I attach slings to the end of these? Or just clip directly into the pro. I know that if there is a potential for the pro to move then I should attach a sling to mediate. Thanks in advance!
