thelawgoddess Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 yeah. i definitely have better technique this year. still need to work on my feet, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Yabbut what if there was a way to combine the power you get from the gym with good technique outdoors too. It's called being a real strong all around climber. Gyms don't suck- especially if the weather *does* suck and you remember that the gym isn't an end in itself. Ain't going to get any good at cracks though..... Those gym cracks do suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 climbing indoors in bad conditions and outdoors in good conditions does not improve technique as much as climbing outdoors in all conditions. it is much easier and more comfortable though.

skyclimb Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 Gyms help me a lot with strength. When on real rock it is hard to get pumped unless doing laps. In the gym you can really focus in short time what would culminate a full day at the crag. I have learned more about technique at the gym(face climbing), by playing add-on with old timers. naming foot and hands, is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
