BOARD MEETINGS | How Much Climbing Skill Is Guaranteed With Experience?

BOARD MEETINGS | How Much Climbing Skill Is Guaranteed With Experience?

A common refrain in climbing is that the more you climb, the better you get. But all of us know some old crusty who has been climbing for 45 years and is stuck at mid 5.10. And they have all of the excuses as to why. But they’re wrong.

In this episode, Kris and Nate explore why we believe we’ll just get better if we keep at it, as well as offer strategies to continue improving no matter how long (or short) you’ve been at it.
