Maggie got some man hands
A solid hour of toproping and bouldering at the Palladium. Lots of fun cause Maggie came along! I like the boulder problems, they did a good job with the small space. A bit weird, however, with all the cardio bunnies in the background.
Time to work some grip endurance; I gave up cause I couldn't hold onto anything for very long by the end.

Nice job all around! The easiest way to improve grip strength is more climbing, another is the use of hangboards.
Open grip strength (large holds and slopers) will transfer to closed grip strength (small holds, crimps, little mono pockets), allowing you to build your muscles and grip without unduly taxing soft tissues (ligaments and tendons).
