A gem in Jersey

An awesome day of climbing at the New Jersey Rock Gym with Scott, Adrienne and Kenway. Scott and I learned how to belay so that Kenway could finally climb. Tons of routes, incredibly nice staff and it was air-conditioned. We'll be back!

They host competitions there, you can check out some great pics here.

You guys were doing great!
You have way more grip and core strength than when I started out, the biggest improvements are going to come with technique and experience - climbing more is the key.

Static grip definitely my weak point. Had to bail out on several climbs due to forearm cramping.

Did you ever specifically train grip endurance, or just climb more?

The only grip training I ever did was to use a hangboard, but yeah, mostly just more climbing.
