How to stop over-gripping
Post Body

Hi guys! I find Ive been over-gripping a lot. Ive been Going to rifle quite a bit and while the holds arent small on most of the climbs Ive been on, they are slimy. After day two of climbing, my skin hurts and i have pink tips. No one else seems to get this since its limestone but I think its cause I grip too hard.

Is there a technique to stop deathgripping every hold?

Comments

Do climbs multiple times. I find I overgrip often the first time I do a climb because you don't have the right body positioning and you haven't felt the holds yet. Practicing doing a climb a second time better is good practice
