The different types of climbing styles here in the IG on our rock-wall! (with addition of some new interesting climbing styles, haha)
· Top-rope (high-wall) - This is the one you where you climb the wall till the top.
· Bouldering – I’m sure most of you now know what bouldering is, and I’m sure it’s fun eh!
· Lead-climbing – This is the climb where you might find it way scarier than doing top-rope climbing. There are only ropes below you and you have to clip yourself onto the runners on the wall to stop you from falling at a great height or to the ground. Requires a lot of endurance, and more courage. More courage, why ? because it’s scary to fall during lead-climbing, and that’s why I still am not good at it, because i still don't dare to do certain moves while doing lead-climbing! So you see ! Hah! .. Ok, moving on.
· Speed-climbing – Climbing up the wall at the fastest speed you can. There will be a route for you to speed-climb up. Requires a lot of hands and leg coordination. Dunch worry, all of you will be introduced to this climbing style and speed-climb up the wall ! Oh, as for the physical training for speed-climbing, let me tell you, it’s way tiring than running a 400m. I’m serious! But it’s good training! Goooood I say …
- Below are the additional ones (pretty random, but definitely fun!)
· Speed-bouldering! – Ah, this one ahh… You know traversing from one end of the wall to the other end, like what you do for warm-up ? but this time round .. climb from one end to another at the fastest speed you can ! haha! Note: If you’re going to fast, the speed-climbing traffic police will give u a ticket!
· Boulder-catching!- Oh man! Oh man! Hahaha, this haven’t been tried yet on our rock-wall, but from the seniors experience at the Yishun Safra bouldering gym, it’s super fun ahh. You’ll be laughing while climbing.
