Which knot for climbing: figure eight, yosemite bowline, bowline on a bight? The reason I switched to the (Yosemite) Bowline, years ago, was the figure eight's "untieability" after falls. It's easy to tie and to check as well. |

What hand and finger exercises help with climbing? +1 @Patrick Straight and honest answer to the question. |

What equipment do I need as a beginner outdoor rock climber? I don't think that chalk gives a nice extra grip. It's useful to absorb fingertip(s)-sweat. That's all! Too much chalk on a grip (can make it a muddy grip!) or on fingers will decrease the actual friction. I would rephrase the respective sentence to be accurate in what and how the use of chalk does whatever it does. |

What everyday tasks can be adapted in a way that helps build muscles and technique for bouldering? I (too) actively use less fingers for carrying bags etc. |
