Warming up
Before you actually start out on your climb you need to ensure that your joints and muscles are supple. You need to warm up and stretch before any form of strenuous exercise. So, commit to warming your arms and legs for at least half an hour before commencing the climb. You’ll benefit by feeling better on the rock and being able to climb with more assurance, but you’ll also avoid damage to your muscles and ligaments. Don’t stretch until it hurts and ensure you breathe properly throughout your warm up and stretching. If you want both to avoid injury and become a better climber allow yourself plenty of time to warm up!

Arm and finger stretches
You should stretch your fingers and forearms before every climb. For your fingers you can use a grip exerciser. Hold your grip on this for 6 to 8 seconds at a time; you can do this on the way to your climb to save time. Stretch out and hold your thumb and each finger for 6 to 8 seconds. For your elbow and forearm stretch hold one arm straight in front of you, hold your stretched fingers with your other hand and bend your wrist back. Hold for about ten seconds and repeat three times on each arm. This will help strengthen the tendons in your forearm.

Neck, back and shoulder stretches
Stretch your neck by bending it to one side, then back to the centre, then to the other side, then go front to back. Make sure your neck returns back to the centre before stretching in a new direction. Don’t be tempted to rotate your neck as that can cause vertebrae damage. To stretch your back muscles hold your clenched hands out in front of you, then curl your arms and shoulders forward. Next, stand legs apart and bent a little and lean sideways, stretching the lead arm over your head whilst putting the other hand on your hip or thigh for support. Now, stretch your shoulders by grasping your elbow and pulling your upper arm behind your head, applying some downward pressure. Then hold your arm out in front of you and pull it sideways across your body. Remember to try to hold each stretch for 10 seconds or so.
