Always carry a camera

Carrying a camera and recording your own techniques while ascending to the top can help you immensely. You will get an explicit concept about your flaws and can improve it over time.

Cleaning your shoes will not only help you ascend by ensuring an accurate grip but also increase the longevity of your shoes.

Gripping repeatedly will not help you

Beginners tend to grip repeatedly to get an easy climb, but it doesn't help. Your first grip will be equal to your later grips. Hence, try to grab it properly and climb on.

Climb with straight arms

Bending your arms puts pressure on your arms and fingers, ultimately leading you to a problematic ascend. Always keep your arm straight to get an easy climb. Additionally, let the air pass through your fingers to keep it dry.

Make your skin climb friendly

Your capacity to climb depends on your skin; hence, you can use a few tricks, like using sandpaper or liquid chalks, to prepare your skin for an easy grip.
