While climbing rocks you will find your body
in positions you would normally never get
yourself into. The reaching for awkward grips and
points for your hands and feet to grip and secure
your position, moving vertically and
horizontally, greatly enhances your flexibility
and coordination.

body in often non horizontal and awkward
positions is how your underlying strength is
obtained. Even though rock climbing is a great
strength workout for muscles throughout your
body, it doesn't train all your muscles.
