<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I</span> mentioned about the handholds and footholds on the indoor climbing
wall. To climb smoothly, it is better to check out the function of each hold.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are a huge
variety of shapes for the climbing holds, the shapes actually mimic rock
features but some are just for fun. There is something to be considered, when a
climbing hold is turned upside down, it can be a different type of hold.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Jugs</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1.hubimg.com/u/4110044_f260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s1.hubimg.com/u/4110044_f260.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a climber
friendly hold for it is large and easy to grab hold on it. Beginner’s route
often used these types of holds so the climber can be comfortable during the
climb as it requires minimal energy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It can also be used as
a foot smear as it is big enough to step on it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4>
<o:p> </o:p>Mini-jugs and incuts</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s2.hubimg.com/u/4110053_f260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s2.hubimg.com/u/4110053_f260.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is smaller than
jugs but are still functioned as a solid handhold. You can fit your second
knuckles in to the gap behind so you won’t slips.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Slopes</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1.hubimg.com/u/4110080_f260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s1.hubimg.com/u/4110080_f260.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A necessary hold in
the advance climbing route. They don’t
have any lip or edge but rounded in surface. It is used to let the climber to
get a direct grip. The hold might be rough or smooth. The tips to use this hold
is to get as much surface area of the hand, you need to feel the friction so
you won’t fall down.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Pockets</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1.hubimg.com/u/4110064_f260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s1.hubimg.com/u/4110064_f260.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Round holes can be
found in pockets. You can hook on the
using one, two or three fingers but for some people with smaller hands, you can
use all the fingers. There is a small hole and a big hole in the pockets, the
small hole should contain your index finger while the others in the big hole
for a tighten grip.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Pinches</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s4.hubimg.com/u/4110071_f260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s4.hubimg.com/u/4110071_f260.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a hole in the
pinches while it is shaped into something similar like a sloper. This kind of
holds requires the greatest amount of strength as the climber needs to create a
strong squeezing force. Depending on the size and shape, you can use one to
four fingers to hold on it. Your thumb needs to be active as it provide
additional force.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Crimps and Chips</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s2.hubimg.com/u/4110093_f260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s2.hubimg.com/u/4110093_f260.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These holds are small
and often used as footholds. It is seldom to find them in beginner routs as you
need to have the strength and skill to use it. Crimps need closed grip to grab
hold on it, your knuckles must flexed in an opposite direction in order to form
a natural bending. Sometimes, you need to wrap your entire hand on it to
generate extra force.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Edges</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s3.hubimg.com/u/4110074_f260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s3.hubimg.com/u/4110074_f260.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The edges have a flat
top surface and are similar to crimps but larger. It is wide enough to use four
fingers but there don't have any gap of lip for you to get hold on it. You can use
the edge like a crimp or a mini-jug, depending on their shapes. It will let the
climber felt less secure but it is preferred when it is below the hold.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
The equipment gear we are wearing not just helped us with the climbing but helps us with our safety too, it reduce the risk of getting hurt when we fall accidentally. In order to climb safety, we need to know which equipment are we using and the proper way to wear it.<br />
<br />
This is how we looks like when we wear the full equipment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Climber_with_equipment.jpg/250px-Climber_with_equipment.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Climber_with_equipment.jpg/250px-Climber_with_equipment.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
<h4>
The first thing, a pair of rock climbing shoes.</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image2.img.jpg/Climbing%20Shoe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image2.img.jpg/Climbing%20Shoe.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
The shoes will provide enough friction to let you grip on footholds.<br />
The structure of it can also helps you in protecting your feet than other shoes do.<br />
To get the right pair of shoe, you must make sure it fits tightly to your feet.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Second, a climbing helmet. (only for outdoor rock climbing)</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image3.img.jpg/Climbing%20Helmet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image3.img.jpg/Climbing%20Helmet.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
In order to protect you from the fall and any tumbling rocks, a helmet specially designed for climbing is required.<br />
The important thing is your helmet fits your head, not too loose and not too tight, so you feel comfortable during the climbing.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Third, climbing harness.</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image1.img.jpg/Climbing%20Harness.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image1.img.jpg/Climbing%20Harness.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Every time you need a rope for climbing, the climbing harness will come next right after it.<br />
You need to understand two parts of the harness, waist belts and leg loops.<br />
The waist belts positioned on your hips and it must fit snugly while the the leg loops go around each leg, one loop per leg, the loops can be adjustable depending on the size of your thighs.<br />
The harness holds you and the rope together so it is important to buckle it up in the right way.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Fourth, carabiners, an important part of the equipment.</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image4.img.jpg/Climbing%20Carabiner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image4.img.jpg/Climbing%20Carabiner.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Carabiners attached you to the rope together, so you may need a few for a climb.<br />
There are three different carabiners,<br />
<ul>
<li style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.6em;"><span class="p2" style="font-weight: bold; padding-right: 0px;">Oval:</span> The basic for every climbing event.</li>
<li style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.6em;"><span class="p2" style="font-weight: bold; padding-right: 0px;">D-shape:</span> It can withstand more outward force so it is stronger.</li>
<li style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.6em;"><span class="p2" style="font-weight: bold; padding-right: 0px;">Asymmetrical D-shape:</span> This kind carabiner actually push the rope towards the solid side of the carabiners.</li>
</ul>
<br />
The gates came in various designs too,<br />
<br />
<ul style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 10px 16px; padding: 0px;">
<li></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 25.59090805053711px;"><b>Straight: </b>To open it, we just push it but to close it, we need to rotate it.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 25.59090805053711px;"><b>Bent: </b>It is easy in clipping but the safety is not guarantee.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 25.59090805053711px;"><b>Locking: </b> For extra protection, there is a lock to tighten it when the gate is close.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 25.59090805053711px;"><b>Wire:</b> Stainless-steel wire is used as the gate.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 25.575756072998047px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 25.560606002807617px;">A belay device is especially for the belayer.</span></span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image5.img.jpg/Climbing%20Belay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image5.img.jpg/Climbing%20Belay.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 25.560606002807617px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 25.560606002807617px;">It actually secures the climbing process so no accident may happened.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 25.560606002807617px;">It can used to catch a fall, lower a climber or provide more tension for the climbers. </span></span><br />
<br />
<h4>
Climbing ropes, an important element.</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image7.img.jpg/Climbing%20Rope.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/getting-started-rock-climbing/_jcr_content/images/image7.img.jpg/Climbing%20Rope.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
To hold you tightly, you need a rope.<br />
The rope can be categorized into two, dynamic and static.<br />
The dynamic rope has elasticity in it, so when there is a fall, it can absorb the force of the fall.<br />
Th static rope is used for rappelling and during rescues.<br />
<br />
There are other extra gears too but the one that I mentioned are the basic, and are used in indoor rock climbing. If you decided to have rock climbing as your main sport, you may need to get a set.<br />

the indoor type and the outdoor type.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Indoor rock climbing looks more safety but outdoor rock climbing has a better scenery, which do you prefer?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Indoor</span></div>
<div>
As what is shown in the picture, indoor rock climbing walls are made out of artificial colour stones.</div>
<div>
The routes can be changed into different difficulties by adjusting the rocks in different gap holes while the stones are polished well so that is no sharp point that will hurt you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are a few advantages of indoor rock climbing,</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Convenient, as you can often visit a climbing gym that located in the city. </li>
<li>Safety first! The danger can be predicted.</li>
<li>Free from any weather that are not suitable for rock climbing.</li>
<li>Visible handholds and footholds. </li>
<li>Different levels available.</li>
<li>Equipment gear can be rented.</li>
<li>Proper teaching is included in gym package.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>As a beginner, it is better to start off from the indoor rock climbing.</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Outdoor</span></div>
<div>
This is the original rock climbing. Safety is not guarantee so it is more suitable for expert that gone through a lot of training. Challenging but if you succeed in reaching the top, the satisfaction feeling can't be explained in words.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are a few categories for outdoor rock climbing,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Bouldering</h4>
<div>
This method of climbing is close to the ground so no ropes are required. The climber can jump down immediately from that height without facing any injuries. Only climbing shoes and crash pad for knees are needed, it is suitable for climbers that just new to outdoor rock climbing.</div>
<div>
</div>
<h4>
Sport Climbing</h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Ropes, quickdraws, climbing shoes and chalk bags are the equipment needed in this sport. The climber can climb up fast by following the trail that had been made on that spot. Anchors and protection are provided, just like how an indoor rock climbing looks like. The difference of sport climbing and indoor climbing is the scenery and difficulties, otherwise, it is similar.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
