Frequently asked questions
Should I always climb at my limit to improve?
No — training at or beyond your limit develops max strength but at high injury risk. Most climbing coaches recommend spending the majority of training time below your max grade, focusing on technique, endurance and efficiency. Project climbing at your limit should be a smaller portion of total volume.
