    • I´m still quite a novice climber and I would just like to know the difference between single pitch and multiple crags (if that is the right terminology). As the name implies, multiple crags has to be more than one crag but does single pitch refer to only one crag? What extra training and skill is ne...

    • Climbing hammocks

      published by Kenna the 16/05/12 in the Forum of Climbing

      You know those photos you see of Climbing hammocks? How ever Do they do it? What does hanging a hammock on a cliff face entail? It looks completely nerve wracking! How are they held, what is the maximum weight they could hold and what special gear would you need? Do climbers actually sleep there?...

    • Does anyone know of any bouldering competitions that will be taking place in the UK? I don´t mind if they are small or not, but I would be very interested in participating if possible and if not, in going along at least to watch. Ideally I would like it to be in the UK and with experienced climbers,...

    • I´ve been borrowing a pair of climbing shoes from my friend but I´d like to invest in a pair of my own. They are from a male friend and the size has rubbed off. I was just wondering if they make male and female climbing shoes and, what size would I be? I am a size 5 in the UK and a 38 in European si...

    • What is trad climbing?

      published by Kenna the 24/04/12 in the Forum of Climbing

      What exactly is trad climbing? I saw a video here in the community but even though I watched it, it didn´t become that clear to me. It looked somewhat like coastal climbing I would say. I have just started climbing at an indoor wall so perhaps this is still a bit beyond me but just curious!...

    • I went climbing the other day and at indoor gym and I had on velcro shoes that resulted to be very painful. What type of climbing shoe is better, lace up or velcro? I think I would be quite worried about the velcro coming updone to be honest and I was wondering if the laces help one adjust them to t...

    • Too young for climbing?

      published by Kenna the 11/04/12 in the Forum of Climbing

      I´ve recently seen a climbing video with a small toddler climbing up a climbing wall (which appeared to be especially made for him) and I started to wonder how safe it was for the small child, not only for safety reasons like falling but for his bone and muscle development. What age is safe to start...

    • When climbing outdoors, what climbing ethics do climbers have? How do they ensure that they don´t damage and cause harm to the natural settings where they are climbing. Can climbers be fined? Are there any areas where climbing is prohibited?...

      published by Kenna the 22/02/12 in the Forum of Climbing

      I´ve recently had a go at ice climbing on an indoor wall and I was hoping to be able to try it outdoors before the season´s over. Is everything melting already in Scotland (where I think I would head)?...

    • I´m curious about ice climbing. The photos look absolutely breathtaking and I´d love to have a go BUT obviously I´d need to train first. I was just wondering if there is such a thing an indoor ice climbing walls? And if there are, if there were any here in the UK?...
