How to quickly get better endurance before Easter holiday
Easter is just some ten days away and maybe you have still not climbed that much outdoors. Bouldering and route climbing indoors mean that you have trained power and power endurance. Here is some advice on how to not just go around with stiff forearms during your upcoming trip. Further reading
1. Invest in some sessions where you climb ultra easy routes or circuits. You should be able to climb 30+ minutes without even feeling the mildest pump.
2. Practice long rest including that yoga-feeling with slow deep breathing, which you probably never do indoors.
3. In order to not loose your power, do some hang board sessions hanging up to ten seconds
At the scene - Focus on blood circulation
4. Make sure you warm up on ridiculously easy routes.
5. Climb faster and take risk while onsighting instead of over-working the best beta. After being really pumped a couple of times, your performance will deteriorate. If you take risk and fall early, you can instead just challenge yourself on a new one.
6. If you fall or if you did it to the top, make sure you immediately lift up your hands and also hold the rope/holds for some seconds. This will reduce the flooding pump you will get afterwards in comparison to just let the arms hang down.
7. Do some massage of your forearms in order to increase blood circulation
