Climbing Strength Testing

Feel that you aren’t climbing at your highest level? Keen to test your sending potential?

Join us in the new extension at Urban Climb Collingwood at 6:00pm to do the 9c strength test with some mates! You can read about the test here.

In short, this test scores a climber based on finger strength, pull-up strength, core strength, and max hanging time to predict their maximum climbing grade (assuming no foot slips). Obviously this isn't always accurate but it's a good indicator of your max climbing grade if your technique and head game were perfect.

Because finger strength is measured on a hangboard, it is recommended that participants are already familiar with hanging on small edges. To do this test it is recommended that you can climb green-level problems or above at Urban Climb to reduce risk of injury.

We hope to see you there!
