How I Finally Got Better at Sport Climbing

For years, I was stuck. My arms were strong, but my climbs told another story. What finally moved the needle? Rethinking what “climbing hard” really means. It’s not just power—it’s: 🔸 Reading routes like a map. Crux? Rest? Flow? Know them before you tie in. 🔸 Crux power from bouldering. Your ability to hit 2–3 hard moves in a row. 🔸 Endurance training—both the long burn (aerobic) and short burst (anaerobic). 🔸 Rhythm & recovery—don’t drag your feet on easy moves. Save that chalk and blood for where it matters. Once I started filming my climbs, rehearsing beta, and climbing smarter (not harder), things clicked. My onsights got better. Projects felt… possible. Next time, I’ll share how I break down a hard route from first try to send. #Sports #ClimbingTips #SportClimbingJourney
