In an ideal world, we'd value climbing training methods based on how well they actually work, but that's not reality. Instead, climbing training goes in trends. What that means is that we both overrate and underrate various methods. In this episode, Nate and Kris discuss their top most overrated training methods.

"Faster Does It" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

Like it or not, grades are a part of climbing, and I've recently been exploring how to have a good relationship with them. In that exploration, I've decided on a range that I believe any given grade represents. 

But to stress test that range, I wanted to talk to someone who is an above average climber with an above average resume, spends a considerable amount of time thinking about this subject, AND who ISN’T the height of an average male like I am. 

One person really stood above the others – pun intended. Juliet Hammer. She’s a coach, crusher, has been doing experiments concerning indoor grades and working on a resource for how to engage with grades.

And she’s just shy of 5 feet tall. Perfect.

Most "simple" training plans are actually fairly complicated when compared to the basics of how to improve at climbing. But they don't need to be. This might be the simplest - and still effective - training plan for climbers of pretty much all levels.

When climbers work a project, the process often goes straight from beta discovery to dialing in microbeta. This isn't wrong, but might be missing some important pieces.

This is by far the most common movement error I see made by advanced climbers, and is one of the biggest differences between advanced and elite climbers. 

Watch this on YouTube.

We're regularly told that chasing grades in climbing is bad, but what does it even mean? Is it actually all that negative? Or is there a more nuanced take that makes more sense in reality?
