Putting in the Time

If you want to improve your climbing, there is no substitute for time on the wall. It’s definitely possible to get better without spending every waking moment in the gym, and structured training can go a long way towards making the most of a busy schedule, but the simple truth is the more time you spend climbing the faster you will improve.

 If your ability has plateaued but you feel like Training with a capital T sucks the fun out of climbing, this is good news. You can improve without hang boards or campus boards, timed reps or periodized workouts. Keep climbing with your friends, keep trying the routes and problems that look cool and, most importantly, keep having fun. Just do it a little longer or a little more often. You’ll rapidly notice the gains that come from increased fitness and skill reinforcement.

It is that time of year again!!! Time for some outdoor guided trips. To kick off the season, we took a group of students from PLU out to vantage for a weekend of climbing. Now we are taking a group of students from UW out to Vantage on the 1st of June. We hope they don’t melt out there in the warm summer sun!

Have you been out to Vantage, Exit 38, Tieton, or Index? Well, if you are interested in checking these places out, you should inquire about our outdoor guiding rates and trips. You might be surprised how much fun you can have while probably learning a lot!
