training for climbing books, websites, techniques
|
I noticed there were a bunch of training for better climbing ability books at my climbing store. Two books on training by Eric Horst. There used to be one called How to Climb 5.12 that I recall. The books I looked at were technical and not user friendly to me. Do you have feedback on specific books or websites (other then this one) that helped your climbing ability (to climb harder routes) improve? This is in addition to just climbing and training more. |

Though I could only dream of reaching these guys' level, Mark Twight et al have an active training group: |

Some of my mental training comes from reading.. John long and Peter Croft a trad climbers bible, Mark Twight the owner of gym jones and the writer of kiss or kill confessions of a serial climber.. when I start to wig out I just think of some of those stories... |

IMO most of the climibing books/websites/etc talk a lot about the theories and concepts and give example of some exercises. But it can be far more helpful for someone to just give you a complete plan. (for example do exercise 1 for minute with 3 reps, then rest for x minutes and do) |
