***Before we get started today, we need your help! We’re writing an article about marijuana’s effects on climbing performance and how people feel about it at climbing areas in general. Could you please take this 9-question multiple choice survey about marijuana for us? We’ll love ya forever!***

Have you ever paused while you’re climbing and noticed how hard you’re gripping the holds to hang on? Overgripping perhaps? If you were to grip slightly less hard, chances are you’d be able to hold on for longer, yeah?

In this article by Alli Rainey from her site allirainey.com, she talks about ways to start avoiding overgripping while you’re climbing and how you can focus on it while you’re training.

In addition to cultivating comfort with open-handing climbing holds, learning to relax your grip as much as possible when you climb can help you conserve strength while you climb (avoiding the dreaded pump for longer), as well as giving you more fluidity in your climbing.” -Alli Rainey

Learn three steps you can be taking while you’re training to avoid overgripping and delay getting pumped!
