Like in most sports, warming up is crucial to bouldering success and injury prevention. Below are a few things to consider when warming up for bouldering:

1. Be sure to spend a good 10 minutes stretching your tendons and muscles in your legs, back, and forearms. For more on this, see our videos on “Yoga & Stretching” for climbing.

2. Have fun with the warm-up process. Start out climbing a few easier routes. Don’t jump straight into your difficult project!

3. Take rests in between attempts.

Please remember, climbing is inherently dangerous. Climb at your own risk.
