Place a large hold higher above the handholds. Place one or two foot holds and one or two hand holds. This is a good climbing game for youth teams. The previous person earns a rest and can climb down until the next person is tagged. The person being "tagged" then must tag someone else excluding the person just touched. The first person is "it" and tries to climb to another person and touch them. Several people on a bouldering wall play tag. If he cannot do the move the mark is put back on. If no one can do it the original climber must prove it can be done. If the next climber cannot climb/traverse it without falling the turn is passed to the next person. After each successful climb/traverse the finishing climber rubs out a chalk mark.
The value of this climbing game is it teaches you to remember the holds in the route, making it an easier transition from preview to climbing.Ĭreate a route of about 20 holds. The second person has to climb the route remembering each hold. There are no markings placed on the wall. The first person points out a sequence of 4 to 10 moves. This excellent practice for developing your on-sight ability. The climber and pointer then switch positions. A good pointer makes it challenging but not beyond the climber's ability. This should be times so the next hold is tapped just ahead of the person climbing. The person designated as the pointer will use a broom handle or any pole to point out the next hold.
This is mostly a traversing game since it requires a partner to "point". Great climbing game for building endurance and memorizing sequences. Continue to repeat this pattern until exhaustion. You can play "hands only" where any foot hold can be used, or specify both handholds and footholds. Each time a climber completes the sequence he/she adds on another move. The moves can be marked by chalk, tape or memorized. When the first climber finishes, he/she adds one more move. The first climber gets on the wall and climbs or traverses this sequence of moves. Begin by agreeing on the first sequence of three to five moves. Two climbers of with similar ability play the game. Add your name and city to get credit for sending in the game.
