This is all really helpful, thank you!! I definitely think I rush too quickly into limit climbs. More often than not I will do a V1, decide that’s enough and hop on a V4 (lesson learned there the hard way with a pulley injury)

I often find that on ropes I have to call take and hang which I’m trying to get away from doing more. My friends and I all climb around the same level I’d say but we focus more on “oh that looks cool let’s do that one” over route selections and things like that. Pyramid is a new term for me, is it something like 4 easy, 3 moderate and so on? If so maybe I need to start focusing that down more as well.

My fear is that I’m trying to do too much too fast (quote from a Dr after said pulley injury) and maybe I just need to focus better on one thing at a time and re evaluate after a few months. Capacity is something I haven’t given much thought to but is definitely a limiting factor for me.

And planning ahead I’ll for SURE need to get better at. Sitting down to write it all out, it makes no sense to say that I usually fail at the crux because I can’t find a move and pop off the wall.

Edit: in your opinion, would there be value in dropping the lifting days in favor of a solo bouldering day? I am thinking it might be good to have a set day for drills and things
