    I would like to add something to the "climb regularly/a lot"-part. for context: i am an indoor climber and trying to break into what is supposed to be 7a (grades indoors are wacky buisness and outdoor climbing need a way bigger skillset all around) i although boulder a lot
    for me training/climbing volume over intensity did a lot for my climbing. instead of destroying myself in a session I rather try to train to a point where I feel well enough to climb the next day, or the day after. then i would mix in weeks in which i drop the volume and focus on quality trys in less but longer sessions with good resting periods. i know that not everybody can do that hence not having the time for that much climbing, but it worked for me. maybe someone will find it helpful.
    key for me is to listen to your body and challenge it from time to time, but never ask to much from it. nothing costs more time and progress then an injury. good climbing to y'all!

    I'm kind on that path....I arrived at similar conclusions so far. I'd add to the mental preparation "get friendly with the idea of spending a lot of time hanging from the rope " and "don't get frustrated, it's a hard route, you'll be struggling this time".
    Those are my personal biggest challenges

    good to hear you talking about resting - this is so overlooked!

    • @Rimfrost74
      @Rimfrost74 3 роки тому +1

      Resting is key on both a larger scale and on a smaller scale. Large scale : Rest days from training Small scale : Finding the strategic rest positions on the route (almost all routes have them)

    Great advices, one small note, but it doesn't really matter: 7a is actually 5.11d, 7a+ is 5.12a

      or is he talking about french 7a, which would be VIII ?

  • @agnulittumc
    @agnulittumc Рік тому

    No. 7a has small holds and inexistence footholds. Only true heroes can climb that stuff.

    Why this video is a shameless plagiarism of JB Mountain Skills video that he posted a month and a half before? If you agree almost word by word with him, why don’t refer us to his video?
