Grip the both sides of the rope, two ropes at a time, and pull the knot tight. Use your fingers to push or mold the double figure eight so that you have parallel lines throughout with no crossing, twisting, or braiding. Most gyms require a simple safety knot as well, tying off the loose end. To do so: Place your thumb on the rope, roughly " above the figure eight. Grip the loose end in your other hand. Wrap the loose end over your thumb twice, making an X above your thumb.
Wrap the end around one last time, then feed it through the hole where your thumb is. Pull the loose end tight to cinch the knot down. Check your knot for safety. There will be five pairs of parallel rope -- one before the knot, one after the knot, and three little segments in your double figure eight.
Your double figure eight should look identical on the top and bottom, and the safety knot should be tight. There shouldn't be any crossed ropes.
If there are, loosen the figure eight slightly and bend or move the ropes so that they are all parallel, then tighten it again. Always have an experienced climber check your ropes when you're first starting out. Communicate with your belayer before climbing. There is an almost universal code for climbers, and it is used to ensure that everyone is set and the safety measures are in place.
Before you climb, you must always follow this protocol. However, some places use different climbing calls. You ask, "On Belay? Method 3. Keep your hips close to the wall. Do this by pointing your knees to the side. The more you lean back, the more you rely on your fingers to hold you close to the wall. This drains your energy quickly and will almost definitely hurt your fingers over time. Instead, angle your knees away from the wall, almost like a frog, to keep your hips close to the wall.
Whenever you need to push away to survey the route or grab another hold, make the movement quickly, then hug the way again to save energy. Relax your grip. Frequently, during harder moves or when you get tired, you'll tend to grip the hold tightly. However, your hand holds are generally just there for balance. Remember, you want your feet to do most of the work, so loosen up your fingers.
Trust them, almost hanging from them for balance, not to keep your weight on the wall. Your fingers are basically just balance hooks.
As you get better, you'll encounter overhangs and moves that require some serious finger strength. However, you'll build this naturally as you progress towards harder climbs. Find your "dead point" when making big moves on the wall. The dead point is the spot when you transition from moving up to falling down.
Basically, your momentum is shifting from a "jump" to a fall, and as such you don't move at all, making it easier to grab the hold. Not all moves are close enough that you can move slowly from one to the other. Sometimes you'll need to push off with your foot and grab the hold while on the move. Learning to grab it right when you hit your apex will greatly increase your fluidity on the wall. To practice, find a route with several holds just out of reach, or practice on the bouldering wall.
Practice grabbing the hold with your arm extended so that you don't feel any drop as you grip it. Climb with rhythm. While this may change for some routes or crux moves, developing a rhythm is often the best way to conscientiously build good climbing habits. Think of moving with the feet first, going foot, foot, hand, hand, or foot, hand, foot, hand, up the entire wall.
Start with some easy routes to get used to this. Because you're moving quickly, with your feet first, you'll naturally come to rely on your leg muscles and stop over-using and tiring your hands.
Focus on your breathing as you move. Many people hold their breath as they try hard moves, but that just deprives your muscles of much-needed oxygen. As you develop a rhythm, breath into it as well so that you have regular, rhythmic breathing.
Climb down a few routes. This is a great training exercise for your balance and route spotting. Most importantly, it focuses on landing your feet very precisely, making your footwork exponentially better.
If you can use your feet effectively on the way down, you'll develop the skills needed to place your feet anywhere on the way up quickly.
Increase your climbing pace while staying deliberate in your movements. Skilled climbers move quickly, as this saves energy wasted by holding onto a rock while deciding what to do. While you don't want to try scrambling up the rock, lunging wildly, you want to make your moves quickly.
