I Could Do Every Move—But Still Fell

There was this V6 on the MoonBoard I knew I should have had. I could do every individual move. I filmed myself. I rehearsed beta in my sleep. And still—every time—I’d pump out halfway. I wasn’t weak. I just couldn’t link it. Turns out, strength and technique only take you so far. What I needed? Power endurance. That cruel no-oxygen, forearms-on-fire, everything-blurs-together kind of stamina. So I started 4x4s. Didn’t go full try-hard—just 60–80% of max. Week by week, I watched myself go from gasping at 2 problems to cruising through all 4 sets. Not pretty, not easy—but the moves finally stuck together. What surprised me wasn’t the physical gain—it was how different failure felt once I knew it wasn’t me, it was just untrained systems. Now, I still fall. But I don’t fall there anymore. #Sport #Climbing #ClimbersOfInstagram
