Either way, we’re happy you’re here. We wrote this guide because when we were just starting out climbing we couldn’t find a single easy to read resource about how to get into the sport. The techie articles from mag- azines and websites just made us more confused. Also, none of our friends were climbers so we had to go ask around to find the answers we needed. The process left us feeling lost and overwhelmed, we don’t want that to happen to you. The Adventure Junkies was created to inspire you and give you the right tools to explore the outdoors. We call it the dream it, learn it, live it process. First, you get inspired by oth- ers. Then, you learn the basics of the sport. And finally, you do it yourself. We do this by providing you with high quality and practical education, and connecting you with a com- munity of like minded adventures from all over the world. And, because you are reading this right now means you’re well on your way to achieving your goal! This eBook is a quick starter guide, and the purpose of this guide is to do just that - get you started fast. It is not a climbing manual and we won’t cover every aspect of the sport. It will, however, take you through the basics and give you the tools you need to take the first steps in becoming a climber. To all of our subscribers, followers and friends out there, thank you for the gift of your sup- port. We only hope that this free guide can begin to repay you for the time you’ve given us. Here’s to you and your many years of climbing adventures to come! Antonio & Amanda Welcome to The Adventure Junkies Climbing Quick Starter Guide!

Live it. 04 05 Page 22: Find the best gear for your climb Page 30: Tips on training for your climb ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED CLIMBING FAQ AUTHOR: Kim McGrenere INFO GENERAL QUESTIONS Is rock climbing only for young, fit people? Absolutely not! Rock climbing is an inclusive sport that is very accessible, particularly with the rise of climbing gyms over the past 20 years. Indoor gyms provide spaces where people in all stages of life can experience the thrill of climbing. Several climbing gyms offer specific programs for youth-at-risk, com- munity groups, or women’s gatherings. I have worked with women into their eighties and people with all body types. Climbing is for everyone. Do I need a strong upper body to climb? A strong upper body is not a necessity for climbing. Climbing technique is far more important than brute strength. Learning fundamental climbing skills can lead to significant improvements in new climbers and builds a great base upon which to progress. Learning how to climb efficiently is key. Eventually, climbers with great technique will need to make strength gains if they wish to climb more difficult routes. In this case, upper body strength will become more important. I don’t live near a climbing destination, can I still climb? So you’ve heard all the hype and want to try your hand at climbing. Maybe your friends are hitting the local crag each weekend? Maybe you saw the 60 Minutes Alex Honnold Special back in 2012? Maybe there’s a new gym opening five minutes from you? Don’t let your burning questions about climbing hold you back! We at The Adventure Junkies are ready to answer your most frequently asked questions about how to get into climbing, debunk the myths, and get you on the rock sooner. There’s no need to hesitate and keep wondering if climbing is right for you – the only way to find out is to give it a try. You can get into climbing just about anywhere thanks to the grow- ing popularity of climbing gyms. You can learn a lot about climbing in indoor gyms, and save the outdoor destinations for climbing trips. For- tunately there are outdoor climbing spots spanning the country. Some, like Red Rock Canyon just outside of Las Vegas, can be quite inexpensive to get to. If there is no climbing gym in your town but you are still super keen, you could build your own bouldering wall. Many people build home walls to supplement their climbing training, but they can also be a great way to start a community in towns with no gyms. This is often how bouldering co-ops get started. None of my friends are outdoorsy, how can I find climbing partners? Climbing gyms often host adult teams or groups in addition to their youth programs. Inquire at your local gym to see if there is a program available. Many gyms also have meet-up sheets that you can add your name to, or ride-share programs for carpooling to local climbing spots. Don’t be afraid to be friendly and chat people up in the gym too – it can be a great way to make friends. Another way to meet climbing partners is to attend an outdoor workshop, clinic, or climbing festival. A few suggestions include the Flash Foxy Women’s Climbing Festival, the Red Rock Rendezvous, or Rocktober- fest in the Red River Gorge. Facebook and other social media outlets can be great ways to find groups of people who might also be looking for partners. I have a fear of heights, does this mean climbing isn’t right for me? If you have a fear of heights there are many options for you. One possibility is to try bouldering, which involves climbing short problems without a rope and then either jumping or down climbing to a mat beneath you. If you are psyched on route climbing though, there are a few ways to work through fear of heights. The first is addressing whether or not fear of heights is the true root of the fear. Perhaps it is actually fear of falling, or fear of the unknown? Another strategy is to really learn and be comfortable with KIM MCGRENERE “A STRONG UPPER BODY IS NOT A NECESSITY FOR CLIMBING. CLIMBING TECHNIQUE IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN BRUTE STRENGTH.” uploads/Voyage/ climbing-guide.pdf
