Training

Finger Board Excercises

American Alpine Institute

The Climbing Movement Essential Training Series on Youtube is kind of awesome. The series is composed of a number of well produced videos that focus on different aspects of training for climbing.

In this particular video, the fingerboard is shown. The workout they describe is really good, but leaves one thing out. You should always, always warm up before using a fingerboard. I have definitely hurt myself on those things…

This is a power and endurance workout. The idea is simple. Create a thirty move sequence with clipping as one move.
