UKC

Due to the poor weather in the UK and my desire to stop just talking about trying to get stronger I have decided to join a bouldering wall to allow me to climb more regularly.

So far the plan is going well. However it seems to have also confirmed my suspiscion that I am an aweful warmer upper. climbing indoors with lots of big holds to go at makes warming up much easier. and i feel I can pull harder.

I would love some tips on warming up when the clouds part and I can make it away from the finger board and the plastics to some real rock

In reply to dcclimb: Make up problems. Places with a good concentration of problems means lots of holds so problems can easily be made up. Places like Red Wall at Trowbarrow are a perfect example of places with a good mixture of big and small holds to allow your fingers to gradually warm up.
