Training for Climbers

The term “climbing” encompasses a broad range of modalities from bouldering to snowy 8000m peaks, and indeed even occupies a grey area with mountaineering. Used here, we speak of “climbing” as some form of technical movement involving the necessary use of one’s upper body (aka Fifth Class Terrain).

Of course, within that definition there is vast difference between the needs of a double digit boulderer and a technical alpine climber, with a limitless spectrum in between.

At Evoke we recognize that every individual’s needs and goals are unique, and while often a good baseline fitness will provide a solid foundation for any climbing athlete, the training layered on top of that will vary greatly.
