Consultation meeting for nail and finger skin concerns
Thursday, April 25th
Ronilo Representative Athlete Nail Trainer Mai Masuhara will visit us.
Consultation is free.
If you have any concerns or worries about your nails, please feel free to contact us.
Recently, more and more people are taking care of their toenails. For climbers who wear tight shoes, it’s only natural that their toenails hurt! It may be a lot of people who think.
However, you may be able to relieve the pain by reinforcing your nails with nail care and growing your nails strong.
Please feel free to contact us.
Not only climbers, but mountaineers and trail runners are also welcome. Men! “Let’s learn about the culture of nail care!” Care for weakened nails, care for improving performance, and important for athletes. Of course it’s stylish too!
Please ask the staff on the day. (We will prepare a consultation reservation form. You can also make a reservation in advance.) Learn more about athlete nails
Are you climbing as hard as you can without thinking about your nails and fingertips?
For those who answered No…
-Pain in nails and fingers
・I’m afraid it will get worse because my nails are cracking.
・Ripped finger skin
・I can’t hold the hold well
If you have a problem with your nails or fingers, it will have a bad effect on both your mental and physical…
If you can solve problems with nails and fingers, it may be a hint for achieving goals and collecting tasks! !
The hint to solve the problem is in daily care!
mentally
-Pain in nails and fingers
・I’m afraid it will get worse because my nails are cracking.
・Ripped finger skin
・I can’t hold the hold well
⇒ Anxiety
If there is an element of anxiety, I will save my movement somewhere and I will not be able to put out 100% of my power.
There are many body parts that can be maintained to prevent such anxiety.
Fingertip care is one of them.
Nail care, which is the terminal part, is also connected to mental care, allowing you to fully demonstrate your abilities.
⇒ The important thing is a sense of security
physical
-Pain in nails and fingers
・I’m afraid it will get worse because my nails are cracking.
・Ripped finger skin
・I can’t hold the hold well
⇒ Strength escapes
Bones do not extend to fingertips. Nails, which compensate for this, are important organs that protect the fingertips and control the amount of force applied.
It is nail pressure that makes the most of the functions of the fingertips.
If the nails are in a healthy state, it will be difficult to miss the action of the muscles and tendons of the fingers, the accuracy of the holding will increase, and it will lead to a state where it is easier to demonstrate your ability.
⇒ A healthy body is important
What is nail pressure
Nail pressure means that the nail firmly receives the force applied from the pad of the finger. For example, you can throw the ball farther or faster. When running, the power of kicking out is increased, and the body balance that supports and stabilizes the body is also improved.
From a mental and physical (physical) point of view, nail pressure is an important factor that is indispensable for sports.
Even if you use only boneless fingertips to hold the finger, if the nail is in a healthy and moderately hard state, the nail pressure will support the finger, increasing the sense of stability.
Athlete Nail Trainer® x Climber
◆Trainer Mai Masuhara’s experience story◆
~ Athlete Nail® by a manicurist with ７ years of climbing experience ~
[Before gaining knowledge of athlete nails] I think my nails are a hindrance while climbing ⇒ I had my nails as deep as possible
*Reason: When I had to have a fine hold, it was better not to hit walls and rocks with my nails, and I used to use deep nails when it got in the way. If my nails were too long, it would hit the wall and I felt that I could not hold the ball.
[After gaining knowledge of athlete nails] She finds out that her power is running away⇒Adjust the length of the nail to a length that is easy to climb (= the same length as the outline of the finger) >
*Reason: When holding a small hold, if I adjusted the length of my nails so that it would be easier to climb, I felt a sense of stability when I held it, and it was easier to climb, and I felt less pain in my fingertips.
* Athlete Nail Trainer® is certified by the Athlete Nail Association
Are they different from fashionable nails?
Athlete Nail is a nail maintenance technique that adjusts the length and shape of nails to prevent injuries and improve performance.
・Professional athletes
・Those who exercise as a hobby
・Those who want to prevent injuries to their fingertips due to sports. . .
For all athletes who play sports such as.
Not only for climbers, but also for those who are engaged in sports that abuse their nails, such as trail running and mountain climbing.
Please consult a nail trainer for nail troubles
If you have a friend or family member who is a manicurist, please consult them first if you have any problems!
If you have a solution, it may be easier to talk to someone near you!
Athlete nail trainers specialize in knowledge of damage to nails and around nails caused by athletes’ movements, and techniques to maintain them. Please feel free to contact the athlete nail trainer!
Let’s continue the fun muscle training!
This year’s ice season has come to an end.
Did you feel like you’ve grown at the end of the season?
It would be a shame to end ice climbing like this.
The skills and physical strength that have improved this season will go back to the way they were if we let it end like this.
That’s where dry tooling comes in. By getting used to your axe during the off-season, you’ll be able to face the ice easily next season!
Let’s have some fun muscle training with dry tweaks!
This is a session for dry touring experienced people.
Experienced doesn’t have to be good. If you have taken “Introduction to dry tooling“, you are an “experienced person”.
It’s also the only chance to vertically climb Beta’s face wall with an ice ax and a rope. Please feel free to enjoy!
(Usually, if you use the gym and climb the 3rd floor dry challenge, climbing using a rope is prohibited for safety reasons.)
The route was set by Mr. Hirokazu Kodaira, who is known as “Kazuo-san” in the dry touring community. They always put their ingenuity and prepare a fun route.
Not only dry touring enthusiasts, but also those who love ice climbing, please join us! “Perfect for off-season training and fun!”

Learn cracks and expand your possibilities!
There’s a multi-level climb I want to do, but I can’t try it because there’s a crack part.
There’s an area that’s warm even in winter, but I’ve never done cracks before, so I can’t go. .
Have you ever been unable to do something you want to do because you can’t climb cracks?
Yes, if you can climb cracks, the world will open up.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that it’s okay if you can’t climb! Even if you can get protection from cracks, the world will open up.
Also, people who do cracks…especially wide ones, are weirdos! This is a misunderstanding.
Please consult Beta Climbing Gym.
If you don’t have enough reach and are struggling to make progress on the face, cracks don’t matter in terms of reach.
There’s sure to be a crack of the right size waiting for you.
Do you think it’s too early for cracks?
First, try getting caught in them.
New fun awaits you.
After learning indoors, try climbing outdoors!
We also hold outdoor crack lessons every month.
We also hold crack lessons on weekdays if requested by the climbing club.

The [3F] climbing area cannot be used by the general public during the course. We apologize for the inconvenience, but thank you for your understanding.
We hold rope climbing practice sessions in outdoor fields. Lead climbing, multi-pitch climbing, crack climbing.

We climb on top rope or lead on rocky areas with easy routes.
Recommended for those who are just starting out, who want to step up from walking to variations on rocky ridges, and those who want to practice lead or master on easy routes.
All necessary gear (shoes, helmets, harnesses, chalk) can be rented (550 yen per item).
We will hold the session at Mt. Washizu, Mt. Ogawa, etc.
【Introduction to cracks】
This is a practice session for beginners to cracks. We climb cracks on top rope. We will give a lecture on how to decide jams and how to set up protection.
Depending on your skill level, you can set up protection (cams) while climbing or climb on lead.
For a better understanding of jamming and protection installation, please take the indoor course “Introduction to Cracks” beforehand.
This will be held at Yugawara Makuiwa, Ogawayama, etc.

Participants will form a party and climb 4 pitches of a gentle route. Fixed ropes will be set up, and an environment will be prepared where you can climb while ensuring your safety if necessary. There will be staff at the end of the pitch to confirm how to set anchors and belay.
You will climb under the safety management of staff, but since you will be climbing on your own, please check the ropework in advance. If you are unsure, please take the indoor course “Multi-Pitch Beginner Course”.
