Hey guys so I've climbed here and there casually at gyms a few times a year for quite a few years but after a visit with a friend a few weeks back to awesome walls in Sheffield made me consider I really need to start doing this more regularly as its so damn enjoyable.
Here's the annoying part I've rheumatism so my grip and strength are greatly less than they should be. So I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has similar conditions arthritis etc... That can give me any guidance on the best ways to improve my strength especially in my hands and fingers.

OA at 26 is unlikely, unless you've had a fracture involving the joint. This would be good news, as if your self diagnosis is wrong you might have something that would benefit from some physio, for example.
