Basic knowledge of indoor climbing

 Indoor or sport climbing is a new and exciting form of exercise. If you love climbing, want basic training or even advanced training to conquer real mountains, then indoor climbing is the best option.

There are many classes, clubs or gyms that offer indoor climbing, but the price, height and complexity of the fake mountain vary widely. Some low-walled gyms are only rocky mountains. Some standard design gyms have a modern gym, with a gym and cafeteria.

 

Although this form of man-made climbing has been around for a long time and can be performed outdoors, in the park, it is however affected by the weather. This is the reason why the sport climbing gym is increasingly popular.

Types of sport climbing

Bouldering / Traverse

Rock climbing usually doesn't need climbing protective belts or ropes. The rock climbing routes are fairly close to the ground, with thick protective pads underneath. Some gyms require a support team underneath to protect climbers from serious injuries.

 

Rock climbing is a great way to practice your skills, because you only need to focus on your strength and balance to keep your body stable on a cliff. Beginners love the simplicity of rock climbing; longtime climbers will want to challenge more challenging terrain.

Top-rope climbing

This is a form of climbing using protective belts and ropes for beginners. When you climb with the top anchor, the rope is attached to the hook above. One end is attached to your harness, the other is held by your carrier. This is the person who will help you in case you fall. The support person can be a highly trained person, or a certified escort, or use an anchor device.

Lead climbing

Once you have mastered climbing anchored on top, the next step is to practice free climbing. At that time, the end of the rope will still be attached to the safety belt, but while climbing you will hook the rope to a series of two-sided hooks on the wall. Of course you still have someone to help.

Indoor freestyle climbing has many similarities with outdoor sports climbing. The biggest difference is that with indoor climbing, all double-end ropes are in place. However, the biggest challenge in free climbing is that if you miss or miss the next two-end hook, you will fall further and more powerful than the one when climbing an anchored mountain.

Instructions for beginners to climb

Your aim is not to climb to the top, but to overcome challenges and enjoy the feeling of winning every small milestone as well as yourself.

Always remember that the strength of the legs is greater than the arm, so focus on improving your skills of placing and holding onto the wall.

Spend time figuring out how to help you overcome challenges faster.

Observe the experienced hikers around to learn the technique, but don't expect too much of an imitation.

When you are ready to start climbing, take the time to find the right climbing partner / instructor. This is one of the factors that have a great influence on you when practicing climbing.



Difficulty chart with indoor climbing

Yosemite decimal difficulty rating scale with levels from 5.0 to 5.15 is used for both indoor and outdoor climbing. Rock climbing is calculated on a scale V - VB (for newbies) from V0 to V16.

Equipment for mountain climbing

Clothes: Wear comfortable and stretchy clothing. You'll want your clothes to be loose enough, but not too baggy to get in the way. Yoga clothes are very suitable. Wear clothes that are easy to clean and resistant to surface abrasion from the impact of climbing walls and hooks.

General climbing equipment: ask what your practice room offers and rentals, especially for the first time. Then you can consider buying your own equipment only.

.300 Winchester Magnum

Winchester developed the 300 Winchester Magnum center fire rifle cartridge based totally on their 338 Winchester Magnum cartridge. This was done by shifting the cartridge’s shoulder area forward by .156” thereby elongating the case .120” and narrowing it down to admit .308” diameter bullets. It was in the year 1963 that Winchester first introduced the new 300 Winchester Magnum cartridge to the people. It was chambered in their 70 bolt action rifle model that had a 1 in 10” rifling twist. Ever since its inception, the 300 Winchester Magnum cartridges have gained popularity among long range rifle shooters and hunters and have been utilized to win quite a few 1,000 yard matches in shooting competitions. It was soon discovered by hunters also that the rifle has enough power to tackle all kinds of animals in North America. It was in the 1980’s that the story of the 300WM’s use for military sniping purposes and the US Navy began. The Navy had been on the lookout for different ki...
