Rock climbing Hold Hand Jam
Painting
There is two types of hand jams in rock climbing - Thumb-up
hand jam - jamming the hand in a small crack with the thumb in an upward
position, enabling greater reach between holds. And the thumb-down hand jam -
as with the thumb-up hand jam, but with the thumb placed downwards, a less
maneuverable but more secure hold.
You re not a rock climber if:
You think trails need to be wider so people can walk while
holding hands
You think reflectors need to be placed on rocks every 5 feet
so people can climb at night with flashlights
You think rocks should be stacked in a more orderly fashion.
You think it is kinky to wear a harness
You think it is okay to use your dog on belay.
You think that you think you don't need a helmet.
You have to unwind your climbing rope from your SUV's winch.
You think escalators would help while rock climbing.
Why paint a rock climbing hold?
