Wikipedia defines rock climbing as “ a kind of sport and kind of active recreation, which consists in climbing on natural (rocks) or artificial (climbing wall) terrain. Having originated as a kind of mountaineering, rock climbing is now an independent sport ".
Nowadays rock climbing is not so much the lot of strange bearded extreme sportsmen with a heavy backpack on their backs, staggering for weeks somewhere in the mountains, as a very beautiful, graceful, elegant and, one might say, intellectual kind of "sport".
The word "sport" is deliberately put in quotation marks.
Climbing is not only a sport with its required attributes- competitions, but also simple great way keep yourself in shape.
Look at a climber - the body's tightness, strong muscles, shine in the eyes and excellent mood are immediately evident!
Due to its peculiarities, such as a wide range of movements, the ability to accurately regulate the volume of the load and its intensity, one can really say that climbing is "of all ages."
Climbing can be practiced from an early age, literally from 4 years old and continue to actively climb until….
But the upper limit simply does not exist!
Climbing is a lifelong practice! And it will be a truly amazing life, full of aspiration, movement, improvement, defeat, victory, adventure and travel!
Rock climbing is a great alternative to fitness.
Climbing develops all 5 physical qualities human - strength, endurance, flexibility, agility and speed.
Of course, climbing is not bodybuilding, and you should not expect to build large muscle mass with climbing.
Rock climbing, especially on initial stage, it is, first of all, coordination, grace, smoothness and economy of movements.
In addition to physical qualities, the ability to think tactically, quickly make decisions in difficult situations, helps in the fight against fears.
In children, rock climbing develops a sense of responsibility, communication skills.
Climbing is practiced on artificial (rock climbing walls) and natural (real rocks) terrain.
For myself, I found perfect formula: A climbing wall is a training facility, rock climbing is a goal.
Each person, of course, has their own ideal formula.
Someone prefers a climbing wall in the "fitness" mode, someone sees themselves in competitions, and someone loves to travel and climb real rocks ...
Every formula, every idea has a right to exist.
I will say more, all this can be combined!
For example, our Club regularly conducts climbing training, participates in various climbing competitions and organizes rock climbing trips around the world. Greece, Spain, Italy, Turkey and even Australia - this is not a complete list of places that we love to visit.
Very often I am asked the question: "How much do you need to practice to go to the rocks?"
My answer: "Not at all :-)"
Indeed, in almost all climbing areas there is an opportunity for beginners to practice.
In order to feel more confident on the road, I recommend that you master the methods of belaying in advance, get acquainted with the equipment, and do a little workout at the climbing wall.
Climbing types (according to the method of organizing insurance)
— Sport climbing.
The word "sport" in the name of this type of rock climbing does not mean a compulsory attitude to the sport (competitions, titles, etc.), but only that all belay points are set in advance (by the builders of the climbing wall or by the preparers on a real rock). At the same time, the insurance points are as reliable as possible and are located so that in the event of a breakdown, the likelihood of injury is minimal.
To practice this type of rock climbing, you need a minimum amount of equipment.
On climbing walls and on specially prepared rocks, it is almost always sports climbing that is practiced.
— Traditional rock climbing.
When practicing traditional rock climbing, the entire arsenal of equipment is used to organize insurance, which is used in mountaineering to overcome rocky terrain: hooks, embedded elements, friends, etc.
It takes a lot of experience to work reliably and quickly with all this equipment.
Types of rock climbing (in sports - "disciplines")
— Difficulty.
The length of the routes is usually from 10 to 40 meters.
The belay is carried out by a partner using a rope.
In the competition in the discipline "difficulty", the winner is the one who managed to climb the track the farthest.
The routes for the competition are always different and are prepared just before the start of the competition.
— Bouldering.
The word bouldering comes from the word "boulder". Indeed, on natural terrain, bouldering is climbing boulders. Rope is not used in bouldering; special portable mats are used for insurance.
Climbing bouldering on a climbing wall means climbing short (4-10 movements) and extremely difficult routes. Gymnastics mats (stationary and / or portable) are also used as insurance.
— Speed.
Competitive discipline.
The challenge for the athlete is to climb the track faster than anyone.
There are two types of speed competition: "classic" and "reference".
When conducting the "classic speed", athletes compete on an uncomplicated, but previously unknown track.
The “reference speed” is the reference because the track is known in advance. There is a diagram of this route, all its parameters are known.
You can build it in your country house and train.
Despite the fact that this format of climbing (at speed) is more related to competition, accelerated climbing is often used as a training tool, even among those who do not compete in this discipline.
How to start climbing?
Step 1. Find the climbing wall closest to you (your place of residence, place of work).
Climbing walls are three types:
— Boulder halls.
These are usually low bouldering halls. Rope belay is not used when bouldering, gymnastic mats are used as a safety device.
In the halls, these are stationary mats, they usually occupy the entire floor area next to the climbing surfaces.
— Difficulty.
— Mixed halls.
As the name suggests, such a climbing wall can be used for bouldering and climbing "difficulty" ie. with a rope.
We train mainly at the Redpoint climbing wall, which is located within walking distance (7 minutes) from metro Savyolovskaya.
Step 2. Choose a trainer.
Each climbing wall has its own full-time trainers, as well as various sections who conduct classes.
Usually, both the sections and climbing walls provide organized classes for beginners.
In our Club every day (in accordance with the schedule of the Club), classes are held with newcomers.
Our beginner classes are always by appointment.
For a more effective and high-quality introductory lesson, we limit the number of beginners with whom 1 coach can train.
Can I climb without a coach? Sure! For rope climbing you need a partner, but you can boulde yourself.
It is also necessary to know, understand and observe safety precautions when practicing rock climbing.
If something is not clear to you about the safety precautions, check with the climbing gym instructor on duty. Safety comes first!
Prices for rock climbing lessons.
The cost of services depends on the climbing wall and its pricing policy.
The cost of visiting a climbing wall in Moscow for self-study in evening time is about 500-700 rubles.
At the Arena climbing wall for our students, the entrance fee is 350 rubles, and at the Redpoint climbing wall - 380 rubles.
Lesson with a trainer in a group from 1000 rubles.
See for yourself:
Using ropes - is free.
The use of fall arrest systems - is free.
Using belay devices - is free!
Why is that?
Our goal is not just making money, our mission is to show the world of rock climbing. it wonderful world... And we teach to be in this world, to be realized in it ... We pass on all our knowledge and skills ...
Yes, this is our job. But this is our life ... and we have been living this life for many years.
Step 3. Purchase climbing equipment.
Climbing equipment:
1. Rock shoes.
2. Climbing belay system.
3. Carabiner and belay device.
4. Bag with magnesium.
A harness and harness are not required for bouldering.
For your first lesson, of course, you don't need to buy anything.
Everything can be rented.
In our Club in the first lesson, all equipment is issued free of charge.
But if you do rock climbing on a regular basis, you cannot do without buying equipment.
And in the first place will be climbing shoes. This is the most important purchase.
