l recently started going climbing (bouldering only) and love it. I've been maybe twenty times now and have made a LOT of progress.

I am a guy and my strongest muscles are back, biceps, etc. which makes campusing really easy for me. As long as l have a good grip, l can pretty much pull-up my way through a route.

What really kills me is my grip. When l try to do routes with smaller holds, slopers, pinches, etc. l get tired out very quickly. What is worse, while l can keep on doing campus routes for a long time, just a couple attempts at routes with tough pinch-holds will kill my forearms.

After that, I am basically done climbing unless l spend the rest of my time at the pullup bar.

My endurance has definitely improved, but it is still nowhere near my back / shoulder strength, and l really would like it to be so l could spend more time on those types of routes.

What are some good exercises l could do to target my grip / forearms... or is it just a matter of time / practice?

The best two things are: 1. Climb or Boulder a lot (which you are already doing) and 2. Get a training board to do dead hangs and pull ups on

Dead hangs are where you choose a particular kind of hold (sloper, pinch, etc.) and hang from the board until you get so tired you drop to the ground. These work great!

Good Luck
