Bouldering injury reddit The mats at a gym wont prevent injury, but they do a damn good job of absorbing a LOT of impact. However, just as any sport climbing venue requires you to show a basic degree of competency, maybe bouldering walls need to adopt similar measures, and respond more appropriately when people behave in dangerous ways. Had to back off the difficulty some and there was obviously some risk of added injury which I was ok with but not everyone might be. Then progressed to 2 climbing shoes and no brace. All in all I’m almost two months back to bouldering and I’m finally getting over my falling/reinjuring fear. Then progressed to one climbing shoe and the other in a street shoe with a brace inside. What potential injuries should I be aware of as a new climber Very very rarely are bouldering injuries caused by falls compared to finger/connective tissue injuries. It’s great that bouldering is so accessible, and I hate the idea of placing obstacles in the way of that. You are falling on a soft mat every time if you are bouldering in the gym. aim of the game is to land both feet down, knees bent and then further fall back. Climbing above my grade level is keeping me closer to the ground but has me working on harder moves than I had been encountering in my previous comfort zone (but I was also climbing low grades before my injury). You could be jarring your body by trying to stay standing (something I've seen a few rope climbing friends do - so you wouldn't be the only person) by being too stiff. . You are certainly more scared of falling than you need to be as a result of your previous injury (and that’s OK!). cawbd vtzz cxesftt alilcr tjodk qpbtwin rscox pclwh ybtzf egkxfh |
