When did you realize you had no talent for climbing?

For me, it was during training days. I try to practice footwork. But on most routes, I only manage one or two actual conscious foot switches. And even those feel awkward. Then there’s body control. Up high on a route with bad pinches, I think I’m balanced — I’m not. I grab too high, lose tension, can't drop weight, can't squat, can't cross. My hand blows because the position was wrong from the start. And I realize: I don't naturally feel how to move. Maybe I’ll improve over time, with drills and videos and more practice. But let’s be honest — I’m not gifted. This isn't my sport. Not really. But I still like it. So I keep going. Slowly. Also: no bouldering for me this year. If you see me bouldering, it means 1) my rope projects are all done, and 2) my knees are 100% healed. Which... they’re not. #Sports #Climbing #ClimbingTruths
