More about athlete nailsく

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.

⇒ Mental peace of mind is important 

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

⇒ power 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®×climber

◆Trainer Mai Masuhara’s personal experience◆
~Athlete nails® arrived at by a manicurist with 6 years of climbing history~

[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]Know that the power was escaping ⇒ 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 could feel 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

Is it 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 if you have any problems with your nails.

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!

2/12 (Sunday) Ice Climbing Step Up Course held @ Yatsugatake Kawaraoku

Beta Climbing Gym Seminar/Ice Climbing Step Up Course


Held on Sunday, February 12, 2023!
An ice climbing step-up course was held at Kawaraoku, Yatsugatake.
Mr. Kentaro Hirokawa was invited as a lecturer, and GINREIKAI Mepanna of Ice Climbing World Copper was invited as a support, making it a fulfilling course.
Kawaraoku is a slope located about 20 minutes on foot from Yatsugatake Sanso. You can fully enjoy it even on a day trip.
Practice ups and leads on a gentle slope, then climb vertically.
In the meantime, Mr. Hirokawa gave a lecture on how to drive an ice screw and how to make an abalakoff.
There are plenty of experiences such as the experience of Ice Fifi, which GINREIKAI Mepanna used at the World Cup.
The night before, the members who stayed at the Yatsugatake Sanso shavings the raw ham of the service.
The samgyetang for dinner was also delicious.
Ice climbing is a seasonal thing, so what I learned last season may be forgotten or not possible this season. .
But I would be happy if I could relearn and be able to do it. . Ice cream is an activity that you can enjoy forever.
Advertising at the end. Mr. Kentaro Hirokawa, who was invited as a lecturer, taught “Ice Climbing” and “Challenge! Alpine Climbing” He has authored many books such as Alpine Climbing.
As an introduction to alpine climbing, “Challenge…” has inspired many climbers to open new paths.
However, it was published 20 years ago, and everyone was waiting for the revised edition to be published. It’s probably been about five years since rumors of a revised edition were published.
Finally, it will be published this spring! ! ! !
On sale April 3, 2023! “You can make a reservation on Amazon!”

2/11 (Sat) Introductory ice climbing was held @ Fujimi Panorama Resort Summit Fall

Beta Climbing Gym Workshop/Introduction to Ice Climbing


2/11 (Sat) Introductory ice climbing was held !
As you know, the day before, there was heavy snow in the Kanto region and the Chuo Expressway was closed to traffic, so most people gave up on participating.
Only one person was able to participate!
As a result, participant was supported by two ice climbing world coppers, making it a fulfilling workshop.
We climbed while checking my form and balance, and had a lot of fun with ice fifi experience, pseudo lead, and more.
Icefall is close to the Tokyo metropolitan area and is easy to approach. Since it is a ski resort, you don’t need full winter mountain climbing equipment, making it the perfect environment for practicing climbing.
We will hold it again next year, so let’s all climb up!
It will be held at a little earlier timing.

Also, the two World Coppers who supported us this time, Junko Sasakawa, aka “Ginreikai Mepanna”, and Haruko Takeuchi, aka “Haruko of the World”.
thank you very much!
Beta will continue to support “Ginreikai Mepanna” and “SEKAI NO Haruko-“.
Thank you all for your support!
