I’m new to bouldering, I started 3.5 months ago and love it. I was wondering what kind of training routines you all recommend for advancing? When do you decide to move on to more difficult problems? Any personal words of wisdom?

    Not at all. I spoke with the head route setter at my gym about getting better with small crimpy hold and his advice was basically “climb”, go to the highest problem you can send in that style and run laps on it. Now I just need to find some partners who kick my ass to push me further.

      About that: Sometimes it is hard to break into those groups. The #1 way to earn respect in those circles is dedication. And not just to climbing. But helping out at the gym you are a regular at. Volunteer your time, put in the work.
