Rock Climbing Training

“The hardest part of training is making the decision to start at all.” -Wolfgang Gullich

Wolfgang Gullich, climbing photo, rock climbing training Welcome to rock climbing training!

Our goal is to show your how to improve your climbing performance, whether you boulder, sport climb, do big wall, or are a gym rat.

We want to help you become a better climber by showing you how to train safely and properly.

We have been training for climbing for years and our hope is to share our experience and knowledge with you. Now we're not training specialists or sport scientists, we are just dedicated climbers. Regardless we will bring you what we've tested and what works. You have to understand the 3 elements of climbing.

Physical - this is your strength and pure fitness level

Technical - the technique and climbing moves/skills you know

Mental - controling your mind and the ability to use it to your advantage

Mastering these areas is what will make you an elite climber.

So how do we master these areas?

Not so fast.

There are a few things we need to cover before we start. The first thing you have to understand is becoming a better climber is not just about becoming sick strong.

Sal Zullo, bouldering, rock climbing It is extremely important for your training to be as specific to climbing as possible.

Hitting the gym and bench pressing 300 pounds isn't going to help your climbing one bit, it might even hurt you. Why? Because you'll probably have excess muscle mass which will way you down while you climb.

To improve your climbing performance make your training very specific to climbing.

That is why climbing itself is the best way to train. (Especially for beginnners and intermediate climbers)

Remember rock climbing training includes mental, physical, and technical aspects and actual climbing targets all three areas.
