Indoor climbing walls provide a full-body workout that builds grip strength, upper body power, flexibility, and problem-solving skills. Routes are colour-coded by difficulty from beginner to advanced.
Climbing shoes make a huge difference — rent a pair if you are new. Focus on using your legs and core rather than pulling with your arms. Watch experienced climbers to learn technique.
