Training for Climbing

Mark Baker has written several articles for Australia's Rock Magazine on the subject of training for climbing. We have reproduced several of these articles here, courtesy of the magazine. Mark is a long-time climber who, in his day, was among the first to put up 30+ routes. He is also a personal climbing instructor and trainer, and shares his experience and expertise in these articles. Also consult the Science of Climbing section where we have gathered several exercise and sport science publications dealing with training, injury, movement and climbing
attitudes.
