Why TRX suspension training?
This type of training incorporates those tiny stabilizing muscles that are crucial for climbing, but tough to engage while using the traditional gym machines. These exercises utilize your entire core along with your shoulders, glutes, legs, and back which translates to enhanced performance on steep climbing walls where; body tension, staying close to the wall, and deliberate foot placement are imperative.
For this workout, you will need TRX bands like these or something similar.
