In this video, Climbing Coach Taylor Reed shows some of the techniques he teaches to the Columbus, Ohio climbing team.
Specifically, Reed deals with some of the most common injuries. First, he discusses crimping (something I’ve personally been injured doing several times). Second, he deals with shoulders. And then finally, he deals with fingers and wrists.
One thing he doesn’t say, that he might just think is self-evident, is that when you climb hard, you should always, always warm up. If you don’t, you will get injured.
