Science Of Climbing

Perfect Your Technique, Gain Strength, Climb Better

by Kevin Cowell

Discover the science needed to grip and move more effectively, endure for longer, and scale new heights of climbing

A great climber requires complete bodily control: to understand what each muscle and joint can do - as well as their limits - to correctly judge and execute the next move.

Science of Climbing gets under the skin of the sport and anatomises what it takes to achieve your climbing goals:
  • Discover deep analysis of how different grip positions and footwork combine to form climbing techniques.
  • Practise targeted strength training exercises across all muscle groups needed for climbing, and mobility exercises to help achieve and maintain the fullest range of motion.
  • Learn scenarios and strategies for plotting a route and selecting the right techniques to overcome obstructions.
  • Explore the science and practice of conquering fear, managing stress, and maintaining concentration for effective decision making.
  • Follow training plans targeting different abilities that combine on-wall and rock-face practice with strength, mobility, and aerobic sessions.
