OK,thanks all; Food for thought. I’m quite new to rock climbing but at 6’4″, <80kg with decent fitness and a childhood clambering over trees found the transition into the sport quite natural.
The routes I’m having trouble with is the wee small handholds whilst moving my feet. If I can get my hands round something then I find it easy, but if only pinching or fingertip only then its a complete no go.
I will try the bouldering focused wall for the next session or two
I had a similar problem last night whilst climbing with my son. I am carrying timber and couldnt for the life of me hold a 50p size hold whilst straightening up. My son was waltzing past this part with no issue. It was only when i sat down whatched how he rocked over on his right foot before moving off this hold that i realized i was putting too much emphasis into holding the small hold. Again, it was all in my body shape and feet, not the ability of my hands.
Get a climbing buddy or pay for a hours coaching. Best money you will spend
