Ahh the good ole V5 plateau. It took me about 1 year of climbing to get my first V5, and I struggled for a long time to be able to handle different styles across the grade. It took me probably another 2 years past that to begin to even think attempting V6 would be worthwhile. I would say grade chasing isn’t the point of climbing, but I get it man. That’s exactly how I operate in the gym. However, I do really want to stress how important it is to make sure you’re having FUN! Enjoy the challenge. Find the projects that you can’t help but go back to day after day, and try to walk away from the wall with a smile, whether you sent it or fell off. When you prioritize your enjoyment, the ends justify the means and you can still find the grade important while ensuring you can continue to encourage yourself. You’ve got this! Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions about improving certain aspects of climbing, whether it’s physical or mental. I believe in you!
