All you need are your shoes1, some <acronym title="magnesie">chalk</acronym>, and a <acronym title="bloc">boulder</acronym>, and you’re ready to go. Hi, I’m Veronica from watchmojo.com and today we’re speaking with some experts1 for some <acronym title="astuce">tips</acronym>
and <acronym title="astuces">tricks</acronym> to boulder <acronym title="escalade">climbing</acronym>.
Behind us is a bouldering wall1, ok, bouldering is a sport that was developed initially as training1 for climbing, and it’s evolved into <acronym title="son propre sport">its own kind of sites sports</acronym>. Indoors1, because we have limited space, we put a ton of <acronym title="prises">holds</acronym> on the wall but when we set you out to do a climb, we’ll tell you with <acronym title="ruban adhésif">tape</acronym> marking, which <acronym title="prises">holds</acronym> to use.
And <acronym title="en dehors de">besides</acronym> the<acronym title="matelas de chute">crash mat</acronym> what are the ways to climb and stay <acronym title="sauf">safe</acronym>?
The other think you can do, is to <acronym title="assurer">support</acronym> your partner, basically, if you’re not climbing you put yours hands up and protect1 the person as they’re climbing.
What are the <acronym title="règles">ethics</acronym>that people should know before boulder climbing?
If you do get serious into it, there are a lot of ethics, for example, on most routes, you’re supposed to start sitting down with your <acronym title="fesses">bum</acronym> on the ground1 and the first move1 has to have you lifting off the ground and then doing the first move.
What’s the difference between bouldering and real climbing?
Bouldering is done without1 <acronym title="cordes">ropes</acronym>; it’s much shorter if you fall, you’re landing on pads1 and not on the ground1, hopefully. It’s less an endurance thing; I would call it more a power1 exercise. So Amanda is gonna do a route1 here that has a few moves that are more specific to bouldering, ok, she ‘s gonna a do a move called the bicycle, first of all, she’s pressing one foot and pulling with the other and that’s called the <acronym title="talon">heel</acronym> hook, where <acronym title="au lieu de">instead of</acronym> hooking with your <acronym title="orteil">toe</acronym> on the hole, you’ve got your heel on there and that gives you a better1 <acronym title="prise">grip</acronym>.
What muscles1 are you working specifically when boulder climbing?
It’s a lot of core, obviously upper body so your back1, your <acronym title="avant bras">forearms</acronym>, your biceps1.
When you get more into bouldering, more experienced, you’re gonna find you’re using your hands a lot, and if you practice things, it’s gonna get your hands stronger1.
So what would you say is the scariest1 part of boulder climbing?
I’d still say it’s falling, if outside, it’s gonna be possibly onto rocks, or anything like that.
What’s the level of difficulty1?
The levels are used by V grades for most bouldering. V1 will be the easiest1, or V0, and as you go up, it’s gonna go V1, V2, V3, V4, and so on.
We know you master all the moves, you compete in boulder climbing, how do you prepare before your competition?
You can prepare with the team1, you can either have a coach1 to follow some training with people, there are a few guys out there that have <acronym title="soit">either</acronym> websites <acronym title="soit">or</acronym> books that you can follow for training. The main <acronym title="moyen">way</acronym> to train for a competition is <acronym title="concentrer">to focus</acronym> on the <acronym title="force">strength</acronym> at first and your <acronym title="blessures">injuries</acronym>; you’ll do three weeks of this and three weeks of that, <acronym title="selon">depending on</acronym> when the competition is.
What would you say is the most common mistake made by beginners1?
A lot of people go <acronym title="musculation">weightlifting</acronym>, which is completely <acronym title="inutile">useless</acronym>, muscle is heavier1 than <acronym title="lourd">fat</acronym>, so it’s the worst1 thing you could have.
