Basic rock climbing techniques (2)


Body posture

When climbing, the body should naturally relax and stabilize the body's center of gravity with three pivot points, and the center of gravity should move with the climbing action. This is the key to whether rock climbing can be stable, balanced, and labor-saving. If you want to relax, you must keep the distance between the body and the rock according to the steepness of the rock wall. If you are too close, it will affect the observation route and choose the fulcrum. However, it is very close when climbing artificial rock walls. When climbing in a natural rock wall. Upper and lower limbs should be coordinated and stretched. Rock climbing should have rhythm. Pulling up and down must be done at the same time. The body's center of gravity must be on the feet, keeping the climbing posture facing the rock wall, three-point fixed support, and standing on the rock wall.

Arm movement

The hand is the key to grasp the fulcrum and maintain the balance of the body during the rock climbing. The strength of the arm directly affects the quality and effect of the rock climbing. Therefore, an excellent rock climber must have sufficient finger strength, wrist strength, and arm strength. For beginners, arm movements are even more important when they are not good at making full use of lower limb strength. How the arm is harder, the situation is different when the artificial rock wall climbing and the natural rock climbing. The former requires the first knuckle to fasten the fulcrum firmly, the wrist should be tense, the palm should be stuck on the rock wall, and the small arm should be hand tight. The wall is drooping, and in the pull-up, the finger (holding point) has a downward pressure and arm-raising action. The law of motion is that the center-of-gravity movement trajectory does not change much, and the rhythm is more pronounced. However, when climbing a natural rock wall, its movement changes greatly. According to the fulcrum point, various force methods are used, such as grasping, gripping, hanging, deduction, squeezing, pinching, pulling, pushing and supporting.

Foot movements

The key to the performance of an outstanding climber's climbing technique is whether the strength of the two legs can be fully utilized. Climbing by the power of an arm alone cannot last long. The main action of the foot is to rotate the legs outward, the inside of the big toe is close to the rock face, the legs are slightly flexed, and the foot is placed on the fulcrum to maintain the body's center of gravity. In the case of natural rock wall fulcrums of different sizes and directions, it should be used flexibly. However, it must be remembered that the knee should not touch the surface of the rock, otherwise it will affect the support of the foot and the balance of the body, and it may even cause slipping and injury to the knee. In addition, when using your foot on the fulcrum, do not use too much force, and you must grasp the direction of force.

Hands and feet

For elite rock climbers, the upper and lower limb forces are coordinated. For beginners or technically inexperienced athletes, upper limb strength appears to be more important. When climbing, it is often the upper limbs that pull the limbs. If the upper limbs are poor in strength, they are prone to fatigue when climbing, manifesting as weakness in arms, numbness in numbness, loss of gripping ability, loss of gripping ability, and even if there is good leg strength, it is difficult to maintain body balance. Therefore, to learn rock climbing, we must first work out upper body strength. The upper extremity should be based on the strength of fingers, wrists, and small arms. Together with the power of the ankles, toes, and legs, the center of gravity of the body should be coordinated with the direction of exertion. Movement, hands and feet with the movement is also comfortable.

Device climbing

Ascent Climbing: Fix one end of the main rope at the top and throw the other end under the cliff. Fixed under tension. The subsequent climber holds a riser, which is connected to his/her feet, in both hands, and they are stuck on the master rope, coordinated with his feet, and continue to climb along the master rope. Double master ropes can also be used to climb the risers up to the two master ropes. It is also possible to use a master rope, and two risers respectively connecting the body and both feet are stuck on the master rope, and use the leg flexion and extension action to climb up the master rope.

Grab climbing: Grabbing is a kind of knot, and knot climbing is a climbing method that is used without a riser. The method of connection is to use two auxiliary ropes to form a knot (hand grip end) on the main rope, and the other end is tied into double knots (even the foot ends), and continuously climb upwards. The method of climbing is the same as that of the Ascendant climbing method, in which the auxiliary leg is stretched by raising the leg and raising the knee, and the ascending device is pushed up along the main rope until it can no longer be pushed. The foot moves and the body moves to the center of gravity. Ascend one side and the other side as well and repeat until the summit. During the operation, it is necessary to maintain a good balance of the body, use the friction force of the rock wall to lift the leg upwards, and always maintain the posture facing the rock wall. The movement should be coordinated and rhythmical.
