Learn How to Train for Rock Climbing and Bouldering!

Climbing training is at a crossroads. Unprecedented access to thousands of square feet of indoor terrain means climbers are stronger than ever—weather, temps, and daylight are no longer factors. However, real science behind climbing training is in its infancy.

The list of theories, coaches, and protocols is dizzying. Ask five different climbers for their approach to improving power, and you’ll get five separate routines. Unlike individual sports with more established training histories, like swimming, running, and cycling, climbing lacks decades of research to tell us specific ways to progress.
