Guides for new climbers

1. Start small. Try yourself with easy climbs and then gradually increase the difficulty meter as you go along.
2. Invest in your gear. It makes of breaks a climb and you’ll be using it for a while. Study gear is expensive, but it’ll last you a long time.
3. Do some physical training before a climb so that your body is conditioned enough and won’t get shocked from all the rigorous physical activity you’ll be going through.
4. Carry a lot of fluids to keep yourself hydrated and your energy up.
5. Listen to the advice of others. Experience is the best teacher, so listen to pointers from more senior climbers.
6. Learn rope skills like knot tying, rope management, etc.
7. Having a portable music player with you can help de-focus your mind from the fatigue and hardships of a climb.
